New laptop!

I wanna buy a new pc. Any suggestions?

Needs to run mudbox/other hi poly sculpt and render stuff along with compiling maps and code.

Want a new PC? Talk to Cypher. Helped me out with the specs for my current build, £875, runs Crysis 3 Singleplayer at 35-60 fps constant.

10/10 would consult again.

I actually saw some reviews and it says my Laptop can run almost every new game on a maximum of high settings. Saw some videos of Battlefield 3 on GeForce 730 and it ran pretty fast on high. But the laptop I got is sort of a consumer laptop and a gaming laptop thrown in a blender, so I guess I better get ready for mass bloatware.

Right. Doesn't matter how high the settings are, Resolution's the killer in most games.

Most laptops are cranked down to something like 1366 x 768 if I recall correctly.

Hook up an external monitor and brag about Max settings on 1080P.

Eh, I guess I could do that when I'm at home.
Thanks for the advice, bruh. I really appreciate it.

While you are 100% right with the resolution, it often varies between the hardware. For example my 7970s give me almost no performance differences between something like the 1366x768 res or 1080p.

For some people changing the resolution might be a big deal, while for others its pointless.

Then again you have TWO 7970's...

Can I use MSi Afterburner on my laptop?

Yea but cutting the resolution by that much should really take off a big load off the cards, but in my case it doesnt
