Graphics Card.

[Mai Mee Tur]

Hey guys, I was wondering your recommendations for a graphics card was.

I'm thinking AMD, nVidia, or ATi for a Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.

Intel i3 or i5 processor.

I'm thinking AMD, nVidia, or ATi for a Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.

You listed pretty much all of them. jamz, don't post an obscure picture of a dead gfx card company. I recommend nvidia just because I have one (GT 330m on this notebook), and it works fine for AC.

Mod edit: WTH?

[Ronald_Reagan]

Works fine for AC isn't necessarily very good praise.

[Mai Mee Tur]

I'm thinking something that can handle emulated Gamecube, Xbox, or PS2 games and keep a constant FPS of at least 50.

Or handle Alliance of Valiant Arms at it's max settings

AMD is ATI..

ATI 5770 or
Nvidia GTX 460

[SnowOak]

Nvidia is the best. AMD ATi graphics is 'Ok' imo. Both beat mine anyday.

I have integrated graphics card with i3 processor on my laptop :/

[Mai Mee Tur]

Well, I'm thinking i3 or i5 are the best processors around, if you want to stay below 700 dollars, I'm not sure about AMD Phenom II's, or any others. And I don't want Intel graphics.

er.... laptop? I really suggest you don't modify your laptop... Especially the GPU since it involves practically dismantling the entire thing. Therefore it's very risky and there's a good chance you may end up screwing up your laptop, rendering it useless. :|

If you want a better laptop, might as well purchase a new one.

I bid you good luck on your kweest for moar FPS, good sir!

[SnowOak]

Wait Mai Mee Tur; are you going to buy a new laptop or do you already own a laptop with Windows 7? Because I don't think you can change your graphics card in a laptop.

[Fate]

I don't think you can change your graphics card in a laptop.

It's possible, but very difficult and risky.

[Mai Mee Tur]

I'm meaning to buy a new laptop, sorry for the confusion.

I wouldn't want to try and do anything with a laptop like that, a computer would be no problem.

[Ruthless]

Look for a laptop with Intel's SandyBridge CPU's

[Ramius]

Here is what I am running on:

Asus - Laptop
Intel® Core™ i7-740QM processor
6GB DDR3 memory
Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support
17.3" LED-backlit high-definition widescreen display
640GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics
8-in-1 media reader
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit

I have not had any problems running Assault Cube, or any other games.
It is a bit pricey at $1,199.00 but well worth it. Besides it is easier to upgrade if I need to. I think something like this would work great for you.

[Mai Mee Tur]

Thank you :D Although I was looking for something less than 800. How long have you had it?

[Ramius]

Only for about 3 months

[Mai Mee Tur]

So, good laptop basically?

[Lantry]

this is the computer i am planning on getting. It seems have decent power, though i don't really have any knowledge at all of how it would stack up. It is under 800 though.

[Mai Mee Tur]

Rofl, outclasses mine

[Gibstick]

Very nice Lantry. I've got a similar computer except my gfx card is better, but everything else about yours is better than mine (8-cell battery, bluetooth, 7200rpm hdd).
