New laptop

a bad CPU + great GPU = good video game performance, even if overall raw performance is stuff because of CPU holding it back. it doesn't tell your overall performance because the CPU isn't the one rendering the game.

also GTA IV eh

the cpu is a big part of games actually. take bf3 for example, seemingly a game which relies way greater on the GPU then the CPU
tested out the following things. got a G530 celeron and a i7 3770. both LGA 1150. 7770 for the GPU. with the celeron, i was able to play on minimum with an average of 20 FPS. with the i7, medium settings at 60 FPS. for ram, 800mhz vs 1600mhz affected around 15 FPS. 5400 vs 7200 RPM hard drive, loading speeds around 15 seconds apart.
typically in the best setup, the GPU should be the bottleneck not the CPU

not 1 game but if you take a wide range of modern games
i personally think its a great way, i mean if your ram speed sucks then the games will run poorly, if the cpu is bad the games will run poorly, if the gpu sucks then the game will run poorly, if the hard drive is slow then it'll take a while to load
if all of those criteria are met then the games run fine

i don't really care if you guys say its like "a horrible way of testing performance", and i might get that but what i don't get is that calling someones laptop "stuffty" is on par with calling a black person a "monday"

loving please, stop before you get hurt.

yeah but there's plenty of other games that don't use the CPU power as much and instead rely on the GPU for heavy use
therefore not being accurate for overall performance

you're acting idiotic

haven't seen a lot of games like that

i agree that you don't need a fast computer or anything for the tasks you do but its still pretty stuffty

what kind of laptop do you expect for $280?

To your tastes obviously but he's not planning to game on it and isn't expecting to for the price

"stuffty" is relative

I'm saying you're wrong

That laptop is perfectly fine, stop arguing Omicron. It's for his parents to browse the internet, not to max out BF3 at 120FPS while rendering 1080p video and filing his tax returns.

i'm pretty sure omicron is titanium man

OT: wow I got my laptop for $300 but yours looks better

[Nikolan]

i'm pretty sure omicron is titanium man

he is, this isnt a secret

hes also more of a stuffhead now

because calling a computer stuffty obviously clearly reflects my intelligence
