650m Sli

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

My current laptop has intel hd 3000 which is pretty average/terrible. So I was originally going to build a computer. But since I've been in college I've been going around to peoples rooms playing LoL/GW2, WoW, whatever, and it's fun. Sadly gaming laptops are too expensive for the little performance they give compared to cheaper desktops you can build. But then I found this laptop.

I'm currently at work and can't get on youtube, but I've looked up some 650m benchmarks and they're pretty decent, and I imagine with sli it would be even better. But I can't find a lot of 650m sli benchmarks.

So does anyone know if I'll be able to run GW2, LoL, PS2, future mmos, on at least high with it?

The GT 650M is basically an underclocked GT 640 / GTX 650 (depending on the memory used). So with a single GPU you'd get 30 FPS or less in GW2. But with two of them in SLI, it should do pretty well. Especially if the memory is GDDR5.

One more thing against going with a laptop, and I've seen this more and more often in these forums of late. Six months down the line, when you're looking for a graphic card driver update, you may very well be at the mercy of the laptop manufacturer, who are not known for keeping up to date with drivers.

Thanks, that's a very good point. I'm probaly just going to go with a $800 build that can play all the games I listed on ultra instead of settling for high.
