TheSneakySpy 1 Posted August 26, 2012 I'm not really a newbie anymore, so i'm gonna post this here. I am soon getting an Asus G73SW With a 120gb SSD as well. This is a gaming laptop made maybe 1.5 years ago, and i'm getting it for cheap, as in from a friend, very cheap, in the 400-500$ range. Here is a link to the specs of it... it has the i7 BTWhttp://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G73SW/Then a gameplay of arma 2 on high/max My question is, Would i be able to run it in cities on high, at about 40 FPS?I'm willing to cut corners by lowering details, removing shadows, as long as the models don't look n64'esqueThanks!

outtatime75 0 Posted August 26, 2012 main problem is overheat, I had to buy an additional fan ..but I still reach 90 celsius degrees:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyFresh 0 Posted August 26, 2012 'Tis a decent laptop; although, hardware is quite old.You can play at max screen resolution, but turn off Anti-Aliasing and disable Post-Processing entirely.You're good to go; 30+ fps at all times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSneakySpy 1 Posted August 26, 2012 Also, i can overclock the processor and the gfx card, which will make it run even faster :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickback (DayZ) 21 Posted August 27, 2012 If the laptop has built in overclocking then yeah you should definitely use it. Sadly I was not lucky to have a built in overclocking program, so I had to download a program for it. It worked out great I was going from on average 1.6 GHZ to a constant 2.4 GHZ. However, after a week of using it every time I would start the program up my screen would start flickering. The laptop's temp was fine, but the screen would just flicker like every 30ish seconds. I did not want to risk my laptop so I removed the program and everything was normal after that :) Just be careful though whenver I research overclocking a lot of people agree that laptop's should not be overclocked.

gywidion@msn.com 80 Posted August 29, 2012 Dell XPS L702XI7-2670QM @ 2.2 GHz8 g ramgforce GT 555 MCan run max resolution just fine with settings on high. I turn some stuff down as it can bog down depending on what is going on.Most Issues I get are from the server, switching usually fixes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSneakySpy 1 Posted August 29, 2012 Looks like the 460m has a 1,200 in passmark, geforce 555 has a 1,000I should be fine then, plus the cooling on this thing is baws Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
