Laptop with 1080p screen and Nivida 650M

[Deleted]

So bought a 15,6 inch ASUS laptop with those things, here are specs:

Click on specificaties. :P

Now I don't have it yet, it will be either tomorrow or the day after that.


Either way, how does the 650M fare in games? I want to game at friends, mainly League of Legends. Now I know it EASILY will run League of Legends al Ultra.

But what about Assassin's Creed 3?



To what desktop GPU is the 650M comparable?


Also one more question, is there really a big difference between that 1080p and well... not 1080p, laptop screens?

I've got almost the same spec, just with 17.3" screen and 670M card, don't think there is much difference. (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-0NC.html)
Pretty much every game I have is on ultra settings, except x-plane 10.
If you have an option for SSD drive, take it, helps a lot with performance.

I don't, but maybe some computershop can perform it for me later.

As for comparing... I would say my laptop as powerful as my desktop: i7 950, 8 Gb DDR3, 570 GTX. Or maybe even more powerful.
At least in a games I'm running, don't see much difference, only when I run them from HDD, which have larger space but slower speed (7200 RPM on HDD). But if games stored on SSD drive, performance is amazing.

Oh.. the difference between a 670 and 650 is huge... Let alone the gap between 650 and 660..

OT - It's strong, but the GPU wont be running ultra 1080p on high demanding games. The GPU would is mid range, it's fine. '

Hmmm okay well, I did my best with 1k euro's.

Shit is expensive today!

I play most games fluently at low or mid with me GT630m, which is only slightly better than an IGP HD 4000. [Borderlands 2, WoW, League of Legends even Battlefield 3 on low]
The GT650m is quite a bit stronger.
Find yourself in for a treat!
I got the i5 GT630M version of your laptop, beautiful machine.

well you got a quite high end gpu and good screen in a laptop (everything on laptops is expensive compared to desktop)
just check up some benchmarks of the 650 M (http://tweakers.net/reviews/2583/6/s...m-het-aan.html different laptop same speccs)
personally i would keep the resolution at native (so 1080p) and tune down settings like shadows etc first when frame rates are too low.
laptop gpu's are improving but still far from desktop performance. (unless it is with SLI cards in a laptop, but really is a 4/5 kg laptop actually a laptop?)

edit : for the budget from last thread this was the best option pretty much since better gpu's go in a way higher price bracket (atleast +- 300/400 euro over budget for similar screen/cpu)
