Hey guys, thanks for all of your answers, I did download GPU-Z and it turns out it's Maxwell and it is indeed 2gb. But then how come dxdiag says that the approx total VRAM is 4020mb? That's what's confusing me

Hey guys long story short I have a laptop equipped with a GTX 860m and I can't find anywhere whether it's a 2GB or a 4GB one. When I go to Dxdiag it says approximate total memory: 4020mb. I do also have Intel HD 4600 if that has to do with anything. But for example on DayZ settings where I can...

Do you think this is virus related? I just think the ISP service is horrible

Hello everyone I am running windows 8.1 on a laptop. So long story short my ISP had a problem ("Unidentified Network") with my whole house yesterday, fixed the internet in 2 days , then only skype was working but firefox said "server not found" and other browsers didn't respond at all. Then I...

On another note, how well do you guys think an i7-3610mq equipped with a Gtx 680m would perform next to these 2 models? This option just opened up to me, but I'm trying to not get some really old hardware though, even though this one is an alienware and probably upgradable. But I want it to last...

In the worst case scenario I could get the i5 one, and then upgrade it to i7-4700, because I've heard it's upgradable? And yes I'm only going to use it for gaming purposes, no editing whatsoever

Hey guys I'm looking to buy a laptop, and I have 2 choices: 1. Lenovo y50 i7-4710hq Gtx 860m 2GB 1tb HDD 2. Msi Gt60 i5-4200m GTX 870m 3gb 750gb HDD 128gb SSD Which system would perform better in pure gaming? Without considering photoshop, graphic rending,etc.. I want the laptop to last...

That's probably true concerning temperature, http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-860M-vs-GeForce-GTX-680M it looks like the 680m is stronger. Do you think the lenovo and msi g60 would have appropriate cooling?

Apparently it's a very close call, but the R9-M290X offers better performance. I'm hesitating between a 17.3 MSI with 8970m and a 15.6 one with R9-M290X . (both are the same models) Apparently it is just a rebrand but I really need to know if it's worth it. Is it worth "sacrificing" the screen...

And apparently the asus has better cooling with 2 exhausts whereas the msi is known for heat issues

It's pretty much in the title. Which one would perform better for gaming? These are the 2 models I am hesitating between: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152559 MSI http://www.asus.com/ROG_ROG/G75VX/ ASUS Greatly appreciated for help
