That model is not available in India. Second GPU can be imported from aboard.
It is suggested that you wait for MSI to relaunch in India.

Wait for MSI or Lenovo Y50.

or buy a desktop, it will max out games for 1-2 years at least.

Currently, no other laptop can give better gaming performance than Y510p at 80k price. Period.

Blame the government for underpowered laptops.

I don't think so.
What makes you feel it is the dual GPU variant?

PS : you can get a GPU imported, and use it in place of optical drive

Darn it!!!i thought i saw dual gpu somewhere in the product description..... Anyways if the dual gpu version is not available in india i will have to settle with the single gpu variant......
And i am a noob when it comes to importing parts from abroad....please tell how to do it....just some outlines will be enough!!!!thanks....

If you badly need it already in July, MSI might still be able to catch up if everything went smoothly in BIS testing phase right now.

Hey guys i found a asus lappy today at flipkart priced at 79k,it has similar specs like the y510p but has a gtx 760m gpu,is this one good??and available locally??
Here is fk link .

^^WHOA!! Nice Find!
Go for it, that's a very powerful laptop.

Performance should be almost equal to Alienware 14. If you are up for OCing then you can potentially reach Alienware 17 levels.

@OP if you can wait some more, you can always go for MSI later. They will come with Maxwell so it will be a nice performance boost.

I take back my original statement. this is one of those laptops which gives Y510p a very tough competition in 80k.

tough competition? This laptop destroys Y510p considering SLI is never going to be released in India.
I am still happy with my 650m SLI heavy OC though.
BTW which laptop do you have?

lenovo r61 (probably 6-7 years old

)

Don't know when I'll get a new one

hm..I saw this a couple of days back but then FK din't put up its $$

well...abt the 760m am a bit disappointed but on the OC' front :-D

this looks like a treat...

Pipelines 768 - unified
Core Speed * 657 MHz
Shader Speed * 657 MHz
Memory Speed * 4000 MHz
Memory Bus Width 128 Bit
Memory Type GDDR5

768 pipex are enough and with a little OC to abt ~800-850mhz this should perform just fine but then again on the cooling front now that's where the design lacks (not sure abt the internals..fan/heatsink design etc)

so..so friggin close to buy now button. gents your opinion?

Update:
if am not wrong *hopefully* Asus India is giving a subwoofer, gaming mouse within the package and it does have a sweet IPS panel :-D

again..if I ...am...not..wrong.. (corporate b!tches go crazy when it comes to launching a machine here in India :/...golddiggers... :/ )

ONGC one?
I tried NFS MW 2012 on my R61, got 1-2 FPS.

Let's see:
1.I have 384 shaders on both my cards running @1080Mhz core. It outperforms GTX 770m(AW 17 and ASUS old one) by 3.8%.
2.ASUS laptops usually have great cooling.
3.To reach GTX 770m level you have to OC by say 400Mhz which is impossible unless overvolted. However GTX 765m level is possible requiring only 193Mhz which is possible any real temperature rise.
4.MSI laptops will still destroy this if they are launched within a reasonable price tag. This is because Maxwell has Godly overclocking potential. You can easily make a laptop GTX 860m run at desktop GTX 750 speed. Mobile Maxwell charts into desktop territory with its reduced manufacturing process.

+1

"3.8%" (couldn't find the 'Like' button/link

)
but won't nos. of pipelines count? 768 vs 640's of 860m (we are not so* sure* that the 860m's 2GB version would be a maxwell; could be the kepler too but recently acc. to tube's 1st ever y50's quick unbox/gameplay/talks the owner did verified that it's a maxwell version)

AFAIK 860m has only 640 + asus does have bundled accessories..

price is def. a key in Indian market
and I now feel that MSI has got a solid market competitor now both in terms of deliverables and $

Gamechanger:
IPS FHD anti glare(matte?)

^ the seller has mentioned it

SPECIFICATIONS OF ASUS CN135H G56JR LAPTOP (BLACK)
IN THE BOX
Sales Package Gaming Mouse, Subwoofer, Carry Bag, Laptop, Charger, Battery

860m has 640 shaders/pipelines of Maxwell architecture so they will be much better than Kepler. GTX 860m Kepler edition does not have 640 pipelines/shaders, it has much more(so that performance of both are equivalent).

.........

From your discussions i get that this asus one is a good one.and a better choise than than y510p.btw i am too excited for the upcoming maxwell series in msi laptops but my deadline is 1 st july i have to buy my lappy before then.....so if msi relaunches is in india by then ...it will be friggin Christmas for me....
Anyways anyone got any idea how much asus g56jr will cost locally???

around 83-85k if its available. Local shops here have higher prices compared to online ones these days.

As [MENTION=139589]prometheus[/MENTION] mentioned I too saw on asus india site that they are including subwoofer and gaming mouse with the laptop and thats a pretty nice deal.now is the also valid on flipkart or in local shops???

Local shopkeepers will try to hide those products if you are not careful. They may insist that nothing else is included but you must haggle.

I was just going through some random thread(s) across www and I am skeptical abt 760m's perf and stability
micro stutter much/probs in updating with latest nVidia drivers :-?

no wonder 760m's not been launched by many OEM's?

might be some random unlucky customer(s) but just a pointer..do_not_approach_a_fast_decision

Single cards don't micro stutter at all. The guy's probably stupid.
Always update to the latest drivers for best performance.
OEMs don't use GTX 760m due to its low clock speed and untapped potential. That's why GTX 765m is a better deal. Custom laptop makers use GTX 760m's in 14" laptops.

Thos driver unstablity problems you mentioned are just random i have encountered many of those.....tgey are not a manufacture defect....for example i and my friend both had nvidia 650 ti and my friend encountered strange problems with 329 whql nvidia driver....while in my pc it was running butter smooth.....i guess its just some unlucky coincidence......

Don't compare desktops with laptops. Laptops are made stable by manufacturers. Desktops have independent components never tested together.

In that case the asus manufactured 760m shouldn't have problems at all.....!!

Asus does not manufacture GTX 760m. Nvidia does. It just solders the chip to the mobo. If the laptop is MXM based then even better, the chip is not even soldered and comes directly from Nvidia.

G56JR dropped Rs.100/- after 1st day of launch...isn't looking promising.
