So it turns out the catch with this whole laptop idea is that it takes FOREVER to get here.

Still. Waiting.

Do you want to know what I like? I like it when the dollar strengthens by a cent and knocks $ off the price of a laptop from the us.

Preparing to purchase. Fully upgrade able and non warranty voiding in the process machine. Indeed.

Pfft who needs desks? Actually I just bought some crazy ass cooling fans. Lil noisy, but as cool as a polar bears toenails.


Ok ok ok. I'm just used to focusing on gpu's not processors. And on that score the 7970m beats the gtx660 as far as I can tell, but of course the i7 beats the a10...

This seems like its going in circles :/

Learning though, lots of learning new stuff.

I feel like I've seen delay between a laptop screen and tv screen?
Or am I tripping?

im assuming i can also just plug in a bigger screen if i want to with an HDMI cable?
or even a tv? does that even work a tv? Does it push your GPU because its a much bigger screen?

mmm indeed, which is why ive been using these and generally comparing pixels per second etc to compare, particularly as AMD and nvidia cards work different:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units


is it accurate to compare fillrates across brands in this way though?

anyway the point is im not comparing my 6950 directly with the aboves 7970m directly, although if fillrate is a reasonable way to compare then they do seem to stack up with each other.

directly.

sigh...i know.

my reasons are:
it takes up a whole lotta space and looks messy.
i dont want to leave the comfort of my lounge
internet is twice as fast at work, plus it would be handy to be able to bring everything into work regularly and back home again (design stuff)
i want to buy something new
um thats all...

not great reasons.

if you think i need talking out of it go ahead...

oh and my wife may be more tolerant of me gaming if its in the same room as her even though she has her nose planted in her laptop and is otherwise ignoring me.

for this last reason i tried xbox. it isnt the same...

Ahoy there kids and kidettes...wait thats... nevermind.

I'm thinking sell me old faithful, and going minimal.

so old faithful is:
Asus 300 case
intel i5 750 2.67GHz
4G Ram cant remember what but can update at some stage.
W7 64bits
xfx radeon 6950 xxx edition
asus neo eco 620
500G drive SCSI
150G drive ATA

2 x contolled fans in
2 x "controlled fans" out

now its bin a while so im pretty rusty on my tech stuff, but what says you this be worth?

obviously the 'disk' drives are holding it back a bit, i never got around to upgrading thems.

Also, Im thinking of getting this:

http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=368/ID=20002/SID=854103852/productdetails.html

so thoughts on this being a reasonable replacement would be appreciated....

now before you go ahead and post your 2 cents in the slot, just remember im after affordable and does the job (bf3/4), no need to go high end etc and give me options out of the ball park...

see pics attached...(skull not included(unless you want to add $400))

They should do it to the dole bludgers, then they won't breed more.
In fact that should be a prereq.

As much as I morn the loss of 'me' time, the child hath given me more purpose and love than I could hither have founded on my own self.

Plus the 'me' time has a value that 12 hours of straight game time tends to cheapen.

I'm drunk by the way.
