Yepp, I play on a MSI GT780R, works like a charm even tho its almost 4 years old. Love the mobility!
Might be time for an upgrade, haha. But, if you're just playing Tibia, I guess it doesn't matter much. :p
I'm thinking about getting one of these new Maxwell GPU's. Been keeping an eye on the 860M. Seems to be a pretty decent card.
I love to play in my notebook, my momma gave it to me,

Used to have a laptop, back to desktop again, they die so fast :(
Get a razer blade. xD
Razer is hyped up a bit too much. Not worth the cost for the performance you get.Quote:

From the review a friend of my posted on YouTube, it has monster heat sinks and keeps the laptop at very nice temperatures. The sacrifice with that is mobility. It's quite a hefty laptop. So, I'm not sure I want it...
EDIT: There are also rumors going around that the next generation of graphics will not support the current socket type. So, "upgradeable" machines will not be of any benefit, lol.
For how expensive it is, you won't find anything with those kind of stats that is that small, which is the only reason I like it for a laptop.Quote:

I got the new razer blade. however the battery life is not long enough usually just use it for travelling
I heard it gets pretty warm, and is quite loud while gaming. How are the temps?Quote:

been solid for the last few years that I have owned it and the LED keyboard is always fun.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz
32 GB RAM 1866 mhz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M
Intel HD 4000 integrated
Corsair Neutron GTX SSD 480gb
Killer Wireless-N
I used to have one of those. Veteran Alienware owner myself. :cool:
I found that the 660m overheats and dies fairly quickly on alienwares.
The 660M is prone to failure, yes. I've owned the M17x R4 with the 680M and 3D screen. It was great.
He can always upgrade. The 680M is very cost-friendly now.
It gets pretty warm but not like burning.. I dont find it loud myself. havent actually been playing any hardcore games on it, HoN, Tibia, Cs Go and lol. Dunno about the temp..Quote:

No problems yet and I've owned it for 4 years now and have pushed the GPU hard for long hours and I also have it overclocked.Quote:

I find most heat issues with laptops are lack of or poor user maintenance.
but I'm almost OCD about cleaning any comp I own, every month and everything down to wiping each fan blade down with a q-tip and replacing heat-sync paste.
O C Delightful!
I have been watching the prices of the 680M, prob will throw one in and get a little more juice.
Yes it's a bit harder to find hardware compared to desktop versions but still able to find anything you need, just gotta dig a little deeper in some cases.Quote:

The 680M is worth the cost. It's much better. That or a 780M is what I recommend. Both great.
Looking at the 780m and it seems I would need to mod my drivers for it to work, not true with the 680m... wonder why.Quote:

You will need a 240W PSU and a triple-pipe heat sink for both cards, and of these can be found on eBay.

Finally pulled the trigger on the Sager NP9752-S. Should ship out this week. It's a beast 15.6" laptop. Should do me well.
The most favorable aspect of it, in my opinion, is the fact that it's completely upgradeable.
I 'm using lenovo Y510, runs great
