765m and 4200m for gaming

[Cancinatti]

how is this notebook for gaming?

765m and for cpu a i5 4200m. it's msi ge60 series. also can I put ssd in them afterwards?

You can put an ssd in any laptop that uses same sized hdd as connections are the same

 

[Cancinatti]

without taking off the hdd right? are there space for both hdd and ssd?

 

[Cancinatti]

My budget is around 1000-1200 USD.

 

[Cancinatti]

Th y510p sold in my country have 750M. But the rest specs are same

 

[Cancinatti]

okay here is the deal, I will be travelling in 6-7 months time and I was about to assemble a desktop but considering I'll be on the move I guess buying a notebook would be the better choice. What I want to know is how much performance change will these two systems have?

The notebook I will get the i7 4700QM and 750M for Lenovo. The CPU will be better than what I had in mind for my desktop since it was going to be a FX 6300. The GPU I was getting was either 7870 or R9 270.

By getting the notebook will I be downgrading a lot or not?

And I usually play CPU heavy games like Rome II, Crusader Kings II, Civilization and such strategies. I am not much a FPS player.

The full specs of the notebook:

Intel Core i7 4700QM 2,4 Ghz Cache 6 MB
1 Tb + 8 Gb SSHD 5400 RPM
Nvidia GeForce GT750M
8 Gb DDR3 1600 Mhz

What is actually different between a 1TB HDD and a 1TB+8GB SSHD? I have seen SSDs on work but don't know what SSHD does?

That's weak. it sounds like it only has a single graphics card. Look into the link I gave you to xoticpc.

Well not all games can use SLI.

 

[Cancinatti]

Well I found one with 2x755M and it's around same price.

 

[Cancinatti]

I wonder if it can get ultra performance on Rome II

 

[Cancinatti]

I doubt there is much difference in terms of visuals between High/Very High and Ultra. So a good performance in Very High will satisfy me.

 

[Cancinatti]

Okay the price is same between Lenovo Y510P and MSI GE60 2OE, both have the same i7 4700MQ CPU and same RAM. Differences are: MSI has a DVDRom, a 765M, FreeDOS. Lenovo has: 2x755M, Windows 8 and 8GB SSHD. Which one to go?

 

[Cancinatti]

So 2x755 is better than a 765 ?

 

[dasulman]

much better.

 

[Cancinatti]

How about heat and power consumption though? Wouldn't it be much more hot? Also I heard some games cause glitches with SLI
