Which one between these 2 for gaming? AMD AMD VS intel Nvidia

[ivikop]

Intel option ASUS G75VX
i7-3630qm 2.4
GTX 670MX 3gb ddr5
750HDD + 512gb SSD

AMD: MSI GX70
A10-5750m (2.5)
Radeon 8970m 2gb ddr5
750HDD


I'm looking for general gaming performance, nothing else.

The 8970m is the faster mobile GPU while the i7-3630qm is the faster CPU. The MSI GX70 should preform better in games as they look for a stronger graphics card than anything else.

I have heard that the cpu is very weak to support the GPU, causing ~40% lower performance than intended.

That is a bit strange though, pairing a card with so much power along with a weak CPU. You are correct, it will be bottle-necked and there will most likely be stuttering as a result. The G75VX is the better option for games that require a powerful CPU while the MSI is better for GPU power. After bringing up the bottleneck, I would say that the GX75VX, while not preforming as well, will be a much better experience overall.

Yeah I know, pairing that card with an i7 would be a beast of a machine, but then again the price is affordable because of the cpu. Thanks for helping!

Now I'm hesitating between the asus and this one http/www.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OE.html#hero-overview which apparently has problems with heat

What is your budget? Perhaps I may be able to assist you in choosing one.

My budget is maximum 550 euros. And all the laptops mentioned above are second hand (~1 year old). And those 3 were the best in quality/price that I could find.

The asus will be better in CPU intensive tasks and it'll also be better in games. The CPU in the MSI is a limiting factor, there's not contest, the Asus wins

And I'm still hesitating between the asus and this one http/www.notebookcheck.net/Review-MSI-GE70-i765M287-Notebook.98244.0.html

and I need to choose urgently as both sellers want me to decide

 

[mangodrinker]

Go with the MSI GE70. It has a better GPU and CPU. Make sure you ask the seller about any heating issues.

If the 670mx is overclocked, it is on the level of 770mx apparently.
Asus runs much cooler than the msi

 

[mangodrinker]

It looks like they are about even with the 765 coming in ahead: http/gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-765M-vs-GeForce-GTX-670MX

Asus does run cooler, you have a choice to make. Would you like a notebook that is a bit faster with added heat or one that is a little slower and runs much cooler which would also translate into quieter?

 

[ivikop]

I think if the laptop runs cooler at the start he has overclocking potential, as laptops which have added heat have no OC potential because they would grill the components.

http/www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html Here the 670mx stand above the 765m by a little.

I think the difference of the performance is minimal.

And on futuremark (not sure what it is) http/www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu It's ranked as #10 in the laptop graphics card category, and 765m is 3 places behind

 

[mangodrinker]

I am not sure that you will have the ability to overclock these notebooks, but I would much rather have the ASUS. It is cooler, quieter, and you seem to have a confidence in its performance. Go for it.

 

[ivikop]

Tons of people are overclocking it. http/rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?28311-G75vx-gtx-670mx-overclock-stats

I think I am going for the asus !

Nice, I hope I have assisted you in some way. Enjoy your Asus.

You certainly did assist me Sir! Thanks for your time
