HP/Compaq :: Hp Hdx 18t Good For Gaming

Jun 8, 2009

if the hp hdx is good for gaming ?

Here are the specs im getting

the single video card ( only available )

130m

4gb ddr3 memory

quad core processor

Crysis is an afterthought, so just the regular other games . I had a sager with

2gb ddr3 m
2.5 dual core
and 8800 gtx, and ran all the other game almost greatly except far cry 2, which had a bit of frame rate, and crysis . But I could play both at high, far cry 2 without any frame rate, but crysis with a bit .

Dell :: Winter's Good For Gaming?

Jan 25, 2009

My temps are killing me, here in Singapore, where its hot all year round! 96C for GPU when gaming!

Its great to have winter. I bet gaming out in the yard beats any notebook cooler heheh.

Oh btw, does the GPU downclock at around 93C-96C? I've noticed I can run the game at 1028x720 when I just start playing, but a few minutes later it becomes a slideshow

Dell :: I Know XPS16 Isn't A 'gaming' Laptop, But How Bad/good Is It?

Jul 3, 2009

Can it still play all the new games and the games that will come out in the next few years at a good resolution and framerate? What about 3d?

Also, this might be a stupid question, but hey, you never know until you ask: the XPS16 excels as a "media" laptop, what does that exactly mean?

Also, XPS has the best available screen on a laptop currently right? If so, doesn't/should that help it out in the gaming category?

Finally, I am considering the XPS16, or the Macbook Pro 17'. Which has better display and can someone list the pros and cons of each?

Sony :: Is The UPDATED Vaio Cw Any Good For Gaming

Jan 9, 2010

First of all, I know that this isn't the place for "what laptop should I buy" threads, but I have a few questions that I think owners might have an easier time answering. I was looking for a portable laptop that could also handle gaming,

and I think the VAIO CW, which has been updated, is right for me. However, what I am most concerned about is the 310M graphics card that has been introduced. I was planning on getting it with the 230M, but it is no longer an option. For anyone with experience/knowledge how does the 310M fare? Cause I was ok with the 230M, but the 210M didn't seem good enough for me.

In addition, battery life is a big concern as well, because I will be taking the laptop to classes and stuff. I plan on buying the extended battery as a backup, but again, if anyone has experience .....

Dell :: Why Do People Say Makes Good Gaming Laptops

Jan 8, 2009

Yet when i checked, their XPS laptops M1330 and M1530 something like that sucks, they had crappy video cards and yet last i checked you need a good video card.

Not to mention it seems like their XPS laptops are outdated and overpriced.

So what makes Dell so special in gaming laptops?

HP/Compaq :: Dv2z Good Enough For Photoshop

Sep 29, 2009

I am seriously considering buying DV2 with following configuration:
MD Athlon™ Neo Processor for Ultrathin Notebooks MV-404096MB DDR2 System Memory (1 Dimm)320GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive (SATA), SuperMulti 8x DVD+-R/RW DriveGenuine Windows Vista® Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 112.1" Diagonal WXGA High-Definition (8) HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800), ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3410 Graphics

90% of my PC use would be internet browsing, photoshop elements editing and rarely watching some normal dvd movies.

Will this configuration be good enough for this, or I *must* consider dual core.

HP/Compaq :: Good Temperatures Fordv5t

Mar 7, 2009

i have a hp dv5t with a 2 ghz intel T5800 and a Nvidia 9600 512 mb gpu. I was just wondering what good temperatures for this computer are, because im trying to be really cautious with this computer since my last one broke. Also is there anything I can do to reduce temperatures other than cooler? I have one but doesn't seem to do much. and by good temps i mean temps that might necessarily make the computer fry but i dont want to put undue stress on it either.

HP/Compaq :: Gaming V.s Temp

Jan 19, 2009

I'm probably going buy and HP laptop soon, the HDX 16"...

So therefore, I was wondering how the gaming is on your sexy HP. Not graphically wise or fps and such, but temp wise. For instance, how long do you get to game for before things get too hot or do you manage to keep things at decent temps for a full day worth of gaming

Personally I don't play too intensive games, mostly world of warcraft. Nothing hardcore like crysis and stuff. So i'd imagine i'd get some decent gaming hours as long as i keep things cool haha by getting a zalaman pc cooling pad and if i decided to undervolt.

HP/Compaq :: HDX16t Or DV6t For Gaming

Mar 19, 2009

Buying a new laptop soon... choices are a HDX16t (P8400 and Nvidia 9600M GT 512MB) or a DV6t (T6400 and ATi HD 4650 1GB). I'm just looking to play Everquest 2, and even though it's a 2004 release, it's pretty intensive. So I'm wondering if I should deal with the slower CPU and slightly better GPU or vice versa?

HP/Compaq :: HP Doesnt Love Gaming

May 4, 2009

HP has great customer service.....i have an hp compaq laptop and hp printer..and had great experience with customer service...they come to your place to collect n everything.

but one problem..they never seem to make laptops with high end specs...all their laptops have great design, great secondary features..but the specs never touch the gaming level.

especially the graphic cards.

of course they made the 20" dragon..but i am talking about smthg in 15 - 16" area.

are there any models out yet which have atleast 8600M GT?

HP/Compaq :: ENVY Series Cooling + Gaming-ability

May 28, 2010

Can any ENVY owners (any model is fine), comment on the cooling system, hardware temperatures, physical temperatures, etc.? And if anyone knows about the cooling system/features/vents for the ENVY 14.

Also, compare ENVY's gamingability to the m11x, MSI GE600 or MSI GX640, if possible.

HP/Compaq :: Envy 15 G2 Hard Lockup/freezing During Gaming

May 10, 2010

Having an issue with my Envy. As soon as I got the machine I installed a SSD and clean copy of Win7. Drivers were downloaded from the thread in this forum section. The computer seems completely fine, temps are well within normal range (68c load CPU 74c load GPU). Besides the crashes, I have not experienced any other sort of instability with this machine.

The issue is an annoying hard lockup-my games will completely lock up and go into an infinite sound loop. The only remedy is a hard reset-I can not access the task manager or any other Windows functions. This happens at seemingly random, whether it be 5 minutes into a match or 2 hours in. The crash is not being triggered by heat-my system stays very cool, even during gaming.

The crashes seem to happen in any 3D game (but not furmark, for some reason)-at first I thought it was an issue with Bad Company 2, but after having time to muck around, I've realized that it is happening in all my games (including Just Cause 2, Team Fortress 2, GTAIV, Trackmania, Battlefield 2, etc).

I can't think of any reason why this is happening-I have a relatively clean Windows installation (need to save space on SSD) and up to date drivers. The only program I run in the background is NOD32, which has not given me any issues in the past with my other machines (I have tried disabling NOD32, to no avail).

My best guess is that it is video driver related. I have tried the Catalyst 10.4 driver from HPs website, as well as the 10.x ALL 8.74 beta driver-the 8.74 driver unlocks more resolution options and fixes BC2 load times, but both drivers are susceptible to the crash.

HP/Compaq :: HP Pavilion Dv6-1240ep - Reaches High Temperatures While Gaming

Feb 18, 2010

I aquired this Laptop in...October 2009. I'm really happy with it, but I have a question.

It reaches high temperatures while gaming, about 90º-95º and it's keeps around 70º in idle.

I haven't noticed any problem with performance or anything, only the fan kicks really high as soon as I start a game.

Is it normal? I always heard that AMD Cpu's are hotter than Intel.

Apple :: MBP And WD HD Not Good Together

Aug 4, 2009

i bought teh WD 500gb Scorpio Blue. The first one I got made ticking noises when it was idle and the sound was louder than the stock 320 5400gig hd. About 4 days later I started getting beach balls when watching movies and then the next time when I booted up the screen would be stuck at the apple logo without any spinning wheel and then no apple logo eventually. So i called dell for an replacement, I got the replecement, and this one STILL makes the the ticking noises when its idle. Is this another failing hard drive or what? I have the March model, MCO266LL/A

Dell :: XPS 16Give A Good Man

Oct 16, 2009

I currently have an XPS 1530 and I need a new laptop as I am giving this one to the wife. This laptop has been quite good to me. A couple of questions about the XPS 16.

The XPS 1530 is the perfect size for me. How much larger is the XPS 16? Is it Substantial? I don't want something similar to the 17 inch laptops that Dell has out there...they are just too large, Any insight would be appreciated.

I generally use the machine for heavy MS Office work...Web...and Photos. So, obviously the machine is more than adequate for this. My main question is which screen to get. I'd love to get the RGB, but will this be ok for what I am doing? Is the glare bad? Are there any drawbacks to the RGB?

I have two friends that have them and I like them. I really like the fact they have true HD screens. Although When I build it on Dell's site I dont get an option for HDMI. My one friend has an HDMI port on theirs.

Anyways are they any good?

I would get the 2.20 Core i3 version i think.
4gig ram.
and I think the stock intel HD graphics.

Dell :: Is My Harddrive Any Good?

Aug 17, 2009

I have a Dell XPS M1530 with a 320GB HDD. A few months back when I checked how much free space I had left it showed 295GB not 320GB in total.

Currently I have 224GB out of 295GB and this doesn't seem right to me because I have nothing on my HDD except for CCleaner and and a few small programs.

I figured that so much space was being taken up because when I downloaded Firefox which is 30MB, 10GB was taken off of of my HDD, same thing happens with whatever I download. I have no clue whats going on
