Out of all your games, which one, if any, puts the most strain on your PC? I think The Witcher 2 is the most demanding on mine. It runs fine on high to max settings, but I can notice a dip in frame rates in certain areas, and notice higher CPU temps with this title. godzillavskong
Ghost recon i guess....

7950 is way over the price that i am willing to pay.... under 250 strictly.. super stretched budget.

No need for a discreet GPU with my 4600M, add to that I get well over 7 hours on my battery.

[QUOTE="Guppy507"]

[QUOTE="achilles614"] Their performance difference is completely negligible. Overall the 660 seems to perform BETTER than the 7870 (turns out I made this up, ignore it), but its by such a small margin that it doesn't even matter(I do stand behind this though, that 3-5% difference in Metro 2033 and The Witcher 2 doesn't really matter when it outperforms the 7870 in Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, and Skyrim).

[QUOTE="General_X"]This, if you game at above 1080p the 660's cut-down memory bandwith really hurts it.JigglyWiggly_


If you game at 2560x1600, you shouldn't be buying a sub-300 dollar video card to begin with.

660ti and the 660 do pretty awful in crysis

[QUOTE="Diwashb"]Leave all the bad quality and other things out of this thread. ninedot
Ummm... So what your saying is... "Shut up all you helpful people who are telling me I don't know the difference between a good/bad laptop and let poor suckers take "my" bad advice and buy this piece of crap computer..." If we didn't comment on quality, particularly the bad quality, then how could we allow consumers to make an informed decision? I just don't get people sometimes...

Listen budds. This is a 580 bucks laptop. It feels funny how people compare it to the macbook pro which is more than twice its price, Who told you thinkpads have bad build quality? they are built like a tank. Although ugly but they will last...... The quote that u made ...... is irrelevant because this laptop is much better than other ones for the similar price range both for specs and for build quality....

This is just a deal i pointed out which i though was fairly excellent for the price. If you want to buy it go ahead. Leave all the bad quality and other things out of this thread. Where the hell did a 1200 dollar MBP come to get compared ? The price difference is more than double and you get better value here. So stop yapping nonsense....

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"][QUOTE="Guppy507"] I don't think you know the specs of the 13 in Macbook Pro... It has a 1280x800 screen and no SSD. And Thinkpads have excellent build quality as well as Apple.Guppy507

derp woops but the TP quality has dropped aluminum on macbook pro far superior even though the res is low the contrast is better on the apple display still nobody buys 13in mbps, all bout the 15in retina

I see tons of people with 13 inch MBP, and I always wonder why, especially when they can get the Macbook Air for less money and its a massive improvement in every way lol.

Hard disk size and a full fledged processor buddy....

[QUOTE="Microsteve"][QUOTE="Diwashb"][QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"]7870 is better. You can find some for under $240 easily. The memory bandwidth is also better on the 7870 over the 660.

Ggetting mine shipped from the states so other countries pricing wouldn't matter for me though.

good luck getting that without paying a huge import tax

Getting someone to bring it back for me :) Just open the box when bringing it and tell the customs its used. Voila no charges :p

My advice for more towards the 7870 being a better long term option. The 660 will be held back by memory bandwidth before it runs out of GPU power

Amd don't have long term driver support, do they?
