    apu a4-5000 with multi gpu can i crossfire

    Disable the igp/hybrid crossfire. AMD crossfire on mobile has a lot of problems. Check your CPU speeds (CPU-z) when gaming. It should be a constant 1.6 ghz. Check GPU utilization and clocks using something like MSI afterburner/GPU-z. Should be 100% utilization that the proper (check on...

    apu a4-5000 with multi gpu can i crossfire

    No, crossfire will bring so little performance gains that it is not worth it. AMD hasn't properly fixed their hybrid crossfire system. Your CPU is likely to hold you back as well. 1.6 ghz jaguar is pretty weak.

    Which Laptop is better for me?

    The a10 is a really crappy CPU and will definitely hold him back in PS2, practically to the point of unplayablility. There are reviews of the a10 with a 8970m (GX60) and certain games such as Hitman, Gw2, Need for speed, were basically unplayable on low, being held back by the CPU. If the...

    help me to choose between 2 "gaming" laptops

    y510p will be significantly more powerful (generally around a 770m when SLI is working well). That said, a 760m isn't that much of a difference from a 755m because of the massive clock speed difference and the 128 bit bus both share (the 760m actually has less bandwidth than a 755m). Just be...

    Which laptop is better for gaming?

    They will be very similar or the intel will be ahead. a8 only has 256 shaders vs. 384 in the a10 chips. That's going to hurt it a lot. Intel has improved their drivers so that the HD 4600 in an i5 or i7 generally edges out the a10-4600m. The i3 is a little weaker but should be around to slightly...

    chosing between 6 "budget" laptops for video editing

    The 3630m is going to be around twice as fast as the other CPUs listed. Should be only marginally slower than the desktop. Other cpus listed are much less powerful.

    A8-4500M VS I3-3110M - Which one to buy?

    Get the A8 with the 8750m and disable hybrid crossfire. 8750m is about 40-60% faster than the 630m

    Looking for gaming laptop 1250$

    The CPU will help. i5 is a little weak,especially for heavy games (BF3,4, Crysis 3). The 770m is also a good bit stronger than the 765m due to a wider memory bus at higher resolutions. Neither will let you game at 1080p ultra for the next two years but the 770m may allow high or high/medium.
