Gaming latop under 60k must run skyrim

U

hey mates, i just joined here ..
and my main reason for joining is that i need a gaming laptop under 60k
(max 65k)

should be able to run games like skyrim and preferably a 1080p screen
that is the main reason
i have searched a lot of forums and saw many reviews, but the more i see, the more i get confused because there are many laptops in this range.

I am not preferring HP because my last laptop was also HP and its battery life sucks. The battery is not such a big issue but i travel a little so i need the laptop to at least last for 2 hours.

i was thinking of xps15 but from what i have read and heard, its not so good for gaming

Yeah for sure N55SF will be be able to run Skyrim at highest setting you can check out youtube videos just type N55SF.Answer to second question Asus has onsite service in Bangalore so service is not a issue and in Bangalore you can check shops in SP road Jainex and computer gallery i guess you can get the laptop for 65k or 64k inclusive of Taxes

Currently I m in Delhi for 15 more days, I just called 2-3 resellers , they quoted from 72k to 74k

U

dont go for dv6 6165 tx it has heating issues and hd 6770 has issue with graphics switching so better wait and get the laptop from sp road bangalore.

and one more thing n55sf has full hd screen blue ray drive superb sound and 7200 rpm drive where as Hp dv6 has normal 720p screen 4 gb ram and 5400 rpm drive and Hp dv6 you can get it for 55k in bangalore so if you take my advice better wait for 15 days

yeah even i dont like HP..
do you have any contact number of any good dealer in sp road ? so that i can call and confirm the price conflict

Go for Dell xps 15 with a full hd screen.. It would be cheaper and really worth it....The screen on xps is absolutely amazing....

did you get the price from sp road

whats the price of n55sf now in SP road?? btw saw it was 66k in golchha it

XPS laptops are really very good but lil expensive
If you are thinking to buy xps then go for it I m sure you won't regret.
Even you can look for Sony C series laptop VPCCB38FN the processor in this machine is the one of the best out there but it only have 1GB graphic card.And also for this one you need to extend your budget a lil bit
Or save your money and get Asus K Series K53SV-SX521D Laptop.It has got all the things you need

Bro in dell if I can get the same config within 65k I won't mind going for dell, and the Asus laptop you have mentioned has really put me in second thoughts, I think I can sacrifice the 1080p screen and blueray combo(anyways who uses bluer ray) and rest all is same except the Gfx card .. Will 540m be able to support all the latest games ? And I suppose there is the same Gfx card in dell, if I can get xps with normal screen and rest same config I can go for that also because dell is best in servicing..now I am kinda stuck between dell xps(if I get it for a lower price) , Asus k series you mentioned and n55sf .. I am a college student and we have many LAN parties in hostel, so I don't want to be held back because of low Gfx ,so I want my lappy to be up to date for any game..and this waiting for the reply to be approved by the mod is kinda getting on my nerve .. No one is here to abuse ,we are here because we need help

If its like that go for asus Asus K Series K53SV-SX521D same GFX as Dell XPS 15 i have the same laptop the laptop able to handle all the latest games without any heating issues and the price is much cheaper i bought it for 45k in kolkata. AND i tell you asus k series has superb build quality and dont worry about the service asus has one year onsite service,

ok now i am really looking forward to k53sv .But will it be able to handle all the games for at least 3 years ?

as i want to a buy a solid machine once and a t least keep it for 3-4 years

GT540 will NOT at all be able to handle latest games, leave alone high settings. Just try skyrim, and it will put GT540 to shame. Dude, GT540 is a mid range card, why are you expecting so good performance from it?

Don't go either with Asus K53sv or Dell XPS. Just said that GT540 won't be enough at all for your requirements. Go with Asus n55sf. That's the best you can put.

U

but then i have to put 20k extra for that , are you sure that it wont be able to handle skyrim? because thats the main reason i want to buy a new laptop.

i checked out n55sf i liked the look and build but the keyboard is ugly..
what was asus thinking..
k53sv has a chichlet keyboard(which i like)

^GT555M, which n55sf has, will give you 25-45 fps, which is decent enough for gaming. Check this thread- *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/laptops-netbooks-tablets/149834-need-gaming-laptop-under-65k.html

How about Lenovo Y570? Isn't it available anymore?

^Lenovo Y570 has 96 shaders GT555, while n55sf has 144 shaders GT555m, and thats a huge difference. No, fair comparison.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

U

any other choice do i have ??except n55sf ?

and what about bf3 ? will k53sv be able to handle bf3 ?

^^ It will handle BF3. But don't expect all the bells and whistles.

Also do keep in mind that what "gaming experience" satisfies you. Some want playable frame rate, some want just good fps, some can't game without eye candies.

U

k53sv i am getting it for 44k from sp road ..
but i really don't know now what to do

^Get it if price is blocking your wish, just make sure it has got 8GB of RAM.

U

dashing.sujay said:
^Get it if price is blocking your wish, just make sure it has got 8GB of RAM.

nope i can go for n55sf also..because from the starting i had a limit of 60-65k

but spending 20k extra for a 1080p screen and a gfx card didn't look good to me thatsy i was attracted to k53sv and it has a chichlet keyboard too

20k = Extremely better graphics, 1080p screen (changes the whole scenario), 7200 HDD, Blu ray (useless though), uber quality sound. Judge it yourself and take the decision.

is there any way i can add a backlit keyboard to it ?

Dont worry k53sv will handle skyrim with ease i am playing it right now and you can also check out YouTube for your confirmation and 44k all inclusive is a great price by the way which shop is giving you this price. Go for K53SV it will easily serve you for 2 to 3 year and one more thing look at the at the VFM you are getting with this laptop.

I'm not misleading anybody. I just meant to say that Skyrim will not run the way OP wants on high settings. Also, you're running on 1366*768 resolution, I meant 1080p in his case.

just got some of my first games playing. Gt555m cannot play Skyrim on High in full screen on FHD. But in windowed at 1680 x 1050(only other res i tried) it played it on high at like 40 fps.

Skyrim will only run fluent in low to medium detail settings.

The avg fps on high settings is around 19 which is not smooth IMO.

So, may be you're satisfied with the GT540 performance, but it may not be the case with everybody.

just check out youtube everybody is playing skyrim in 1366*768 resolution with ultra setting and in k53sv you can play with high setting with 30 to 35 fps and if someone is concerned about the graphic quality then one should get a deskstop rather than a laptop because gameplay wise no laptops are even closer to desktop so better do your research and com up with conclusion. for gaming every laptop is just the mobile alternative. and look at the price difference between N55SF AND K53SV ONE CAN GET BEAST DESKTOP AT 65K. And he getting K53sv at 44k so its a great deal excellent VFM.

I have already mentioned that I referred 1080p, not 1366*768, so stop arguing and read the posts clearly first. And I wasn't talking about VFM at any moment in this thread, so its already ruled out. And about desktop, why you go for windows when linux is better from every aspect and free too? (Stop OT'ing)

Dude don't talk like a kid in N55sf also people are not able to play at 1080p with ultra setting and in k53sv or even dv6 6165tx you cant go beyond 1366*768 which is the native resolution and as far as the games goes you mentioned that people are getting 15 to 20 fps which is not true and from next time before commenting about any hardware check yourself first and then give your conclusion on it.And to your last question linux doesn't support all games.

there's not much diff between 1080p and 768p resolutions in n55sf. frame rates may vary by little and the heating also gets slightly more if play on full hd. but still its a great laptop the keyboard may not be like in case of most other laptops but still its a good one to use. soft and easier to type keys.

dude how to check fps while playing game? Also is this true... it gets more heated when u play on ur native resolution if its full hd than normal hd which is 1366x768 ?? i'm running games in full hd and got max temps of 95 C

I know people are not able to play skyrim @ ultra settings at 1080p, but when did I denied that?
And about FPS statistics, I quoted it from notebookcheck.net. Just check there yourself.
I mentioned Linux because you mentioned about desktops, which was totally irrevelant and OT.

Use Fraps. Laptop will get more heated when graphics will be more stressed, and that has nothing got to do with native resolution. More the resolution(and eye candies), more the stress on gfx card, more the temps. 95° is very hot man.

so should i run games in 1366x768 res insted of 1920x1080 in order to avoid 90 C temps??

Not exactly. Be sure you make way for air vents below/side of the lappi to blow exhaust air out. If they are blocked, temps can go insane. Then, turn eye candies off (AF/AA).

push him for 65k and if your budget permits go for N55SF else go for k53sv both are great laptops price and feature wise.

Its a good laptop but if you ask me about the after sales service i am not sure and as far as i know they dont have onsite service like asus, and most of the service centers are in metros so if you are ok with that you can go for this laptop

U

I told my dad to buy asus k53sv but he went and bought xps 15 instead (same config)
as he wasnt sure of asus after sales services..

So I have got xps 15 now

i7 2670qm
2gb gt540m
8gb ram
750 hdd
and a superb sound system

yesterday night i updated all the drivers for windows and the gfx card
now i am facing a little but of a problem

Did u install the Windows 7 Service Pack 1?If yes, did u experience that the Boot time has increased?It happened in my cases on my new laptop ,so I uninstalled it and now its's fine.Try uninstalling the SP1 & see if it helps.
Can't help about the sound issue though,sorry...

Its a good laptop but if you ask me about the after sales service i am not sure and as far as i know they dont have onsite service like asus, and most of the service centers are in metros so if you are ok with that you can go for this laptop

otherwise is it a good go ?

and does it in any way less than asus on the basis of the graphic card :unsure:

as lenovo's y570 is having its bus width down to 96 bits.
whereas asus is having 144 bits and Alienware MX14 is having 192 bits :unsure:

don't know about MSI one :Fingerx:

O

no suggestions ......?

Msi is also 192 bits i read .. atleast for config in USA
