is gt650m better than hd 7670 m for gaming laptop?

 

[AHMED_92]

Yes gt650m way better than radeon hd 7670m for gaming as you can see it through the links below

Gt 650m is class 1 graphic card while Hd 7670m is a class 2 model

Hope this helps

 

[krishnakhatri]

what does class 1 n class 2 model mean???
is there anything better than a gt650m?

 

[dudewitbow]

yes its better.

 

[dudewitbow]

its just general large tiers. a 650 todays standards for a laptop is on the higher spectrum of laptop gpus. IIRC the 7670 is a rebadged 6650 or somewhere near there.

 

[krishnakhatri]

so getting a laptop with gt650m is recommended for high setting gaming?

 

[dudewitbow]

well I should say laptop gpus arent the strongest(the 650m is maybe like a HD 7750 desktop gpu). Its better than most laptop gpus, but still isnt up there when it comes to performance comparing it to a desktop of course. the top 2 laptop gpus, 680 and 7970m barely reach the 7870 level(atm 260$ desktop gpu), thats telling you something

The 7670M paired with an A10 can APU give the GT 650M some serious graphics performance competition.

 

[krishnakhatri]

so what should i prefer a hd 7670 with core i5 3rd gen or a gt650m with core i5 3rd gen for hardcore gaming experience?

Mobile i5s are just mobile i3s with Turbo and maybe some more cache. It's not like desktop quad core i5s versus mere dual-core i3s.

If it's i5 plus GT 650M versus i5 plus Radeon 7670M, then the first option takes first place by far. If it's AMD A10 plus 7670M versus i5 plus GT 650M, the results are not so simple.

 

[dudewitbow]

personally, i'd take the 650m

 

[krishnakhatri]

should i prefer the samsung brands for laptops??or should i stick with dell?

 

[blazorthon]

Personally, I have a Clevo and Lenovo preference. However, with Samsung versus Dell, I'm not sure if either company makes notably better laptops than the other, so I'm not sure of which laptop I'd choose between them based on the branding.

One thing to remember is that Kepler GPUs (GT640/650/GTX660) can and will be different in laptops.

Case in point; Asus GT650m's use GDDR3 which is usually speculated to perform 5-10% (or more) less than a comparable GT650M chip on GDDR5 memory such as the MacBook pro which uses a GT650M with GDDR5 memory.

On the other hand you get manufacturers that love to mess with the speeds of the chips , memory, and cooling which limits performance due to heat.

Dells and Hp's are notorious for getting hot under load. Sony's use a highly underclocked GT640MLE which is 20% worse than a normal GT640M. Sammy's use standard chips but iirc was reputed to also get a bit warm under load. Lenovos are also excellent; same with asus.

If you get a kelper GPU; remember this. Every single chip is identicle be it a GT640m/650m/GTX660m. All that's different is clock speeds; memory interface; and cooling solutions of which all affects the performance of a laptop.

If its samsung vs dell.. i'd take samsung. Would prefer an Asus or a Lenovo or custome ones like a Clevo / Sager

 

[krishnakhatri]

wat is iirc????

GDDR3 on a modern graphics card? I didn't know that they still use it at all. Can you give me a link to look into this? I tried a web search but didn't find anything.

some 7670m's and all 7730m are both GDDR3 cards as well as GT 620m/630m/640m as well as some GT 650m's. All modern graphics cards.

I only see DDR3 and GDDR5 as options. No GDDR3. Are you sure that you didn't confuse DDR3 for GDDR3?

I sure did. Nice catch and sorry for being misleading.

 

[blazorthon]

NP, I thought it was weird when you said GDDR3 because I haven't seen any new cards with that since either the DX 10.1 cards and maybe a few Radeon 5000/GTX 400 models
