Haswell Laptop Processor, i7-4700MQ or i7-4800MQ

[Deleted]

That`s it, should I spend 150$ more on the i7 4800MQ for Gaming or the 4700MQ is enough.
It has a GTX 770M 3GB

I play mostly Guild Wars 2, Starcraft2.

Thanks!

4700MQ. Not worth the extra $150.

Difference is 300mhz... Not worth the money, but go for it if you can afford it, I guess.

By the way, 300mhz, it`s 120-130$ more expensive but if it is noticeable, I`m going for that.
I mean Guild Wars 2 is fucking CPU dependeant, so in theory the 300mhz would improve its FPS, can you confirm that?

I`m ordering it today, so if anyone can enlighten me, I`d be grateful.

Thanks!

It's an improvement, but not a $120-$130 improvement. I would say.. IF you can afford it easily, do it. If it's a problem, don't.

those 300mhz, you say hmn, how many more frames should I be able to achieve?
Is it possible to Overclock it? if so, I would get the 4800MQ e bring it to 4,0ghz on Turbo speed

If your really looking for performance a SFF rig will blow any laptop out of the water. All mmo's are cpu dependant its just part of the game design and there isn't much that can be done about it.

What`s SFF Rig? so you say to get the i7-4800MQ then?

[Rabble]

Just get the 4700 and overclock it to the 4800 speed. It'll be more than stable and save you $150.

It'll likely bring your minimum up by like 5-8.

Where are you getting the laptop from?

How hard should I be able to OC those CPUs? i7-4700MQ to 3,7ghz or even 4,0ghz? would that be even possible?
the i7-4800MQ then to 4,0ghz - 4,3gz you say?

I`m getting it either from XOTIPC or Cyberpower, both brands have their price at 1240$.
XOTIPC is weird because you have to add Windows on it, which costs 80$...otherwise it would be alot cheaper

that's..hard to say. Given it's a laptop, heat will be a big limiting factor. You'd have to see how temperatures are when you get it. And i'm not 100% sure if all mobile chips can be overclocked? Either way get the 4700MQ. If you can OC it and thermals allow for it, great, otherwise, you saved money.
