:sol: fRiEnD , A6 3400M means 6520g graphics chip integrated with the processor chip - in simple terms it IS the APU we are talking about.

2nd thing, X43TA does have a HD 6650M too along with the above 6520g which in hybrid crossfire is known as 6720g2.

:hello: check the below mentioned link:

Congrats ! It is a great looking laptop !

You have said "and after watching x53ta i couldnt go for x43ta... " can you please give more details
I would really appreciate the feedback.

As you know by now I am an complete newbie But I am trying really hard to figure out things by searching endlessly on the net.

It is not too late for me to back out of the flipkart order which I had requested
to be put on hold pending the sorting out of dual core/quad core issue.

Thanks... :)

N what i said didnt mean anything -ve abt x43ta in terms of performance. But as u can checkmy first post here for this thread that i had 4choices;
2 netbooks
2laptops(both from asus; x43sj and x43ta)

I asked 4-5 shops in nehru place (New Delhi) about x43ta first as i had just that in mind due to HD 6650m... :D

but all the shops had x53ta(15.6") . I didnt quite like the looks of it(x53ta) compared to x43sj. that's it. nothing else against it, it's better than mine in terms of gaming; processor n card. :) so congrats to you too.now If only the stores hadx43ta in stock. :(

butin case you just want a casual gaming laptop which can max out things at 1024x768 or so...n looks pretty too,then x43sj is there...:) I checked Deus Ex:The Missing Link...It ran fine. :)

Hiii omega21xx, :bounce:

Ibought x43sj...looked pretty to me than x53ta and x43ta wasnt available in the shops to have alook at it.

tried farcry demo and full game, both but seems to have some issues with win 7 64 bit.
I am getting corrupted graphics, though gt 520m handled Deus Ex The Human Revolution_missing link quite well.


I wonder why can't i play farcry, i mean why the textures arent visible althought it runs smooth... :pfff:

It's one of two things. 1. Optimus is enabled in NVIDIA control panel and needs to be disabled or you need to set it to use the 520 in games instead of the integrated graphics. Or 2. You got a bad laptop.

Nvidia Optimus: no sign of it.

firstly, the laptop came with free dos pre-installed. installed win 7 64bit after partitioning the hard drive.

2ndly, In Nvidia control panel I unable to search for Nvidia Optimus, moreover I can choose graphic settings for farcry as well as several other apps installed on the laptop as anyone can in a system with a graphics card.

3rdly, FarCry is Susceptible to graphic glitches under win 7 64 bit. A patch was released, 1.4, for this so that 32 bit version of farcry can be patched to 64bit. Till now i have been unable to do so. Will try again this weekend.

4th n last point: I installed deus ex: human revolution and dx:hr_missing link, both look great and run fine for me in 1024x768. but in there options dx11 is available, for farcry dx11 isnot and wont be available. :pfff:

You aren't missing anything by not having dx11. It's not a huge improvement over dx10
