new laptop

[Mr-Smith]

hey i think about buying a new laptop with
i7 3630qm
and nvidea 650m gt

anyone know if even big 5v5 games will run?

and no i dont wana buy a desktop.

yes they will definitely run. they will run slightly (maybe -1, but in the worst case -2) slower compared to a desktop i5/i7 processor (not overclocked).
all that is important is the ghz number on your processor or to be more clear: the max (automatically overclocked) ghz number on your processor!
your computer will not be the fastest, but not the slowest either.

when you have trouble with the fps in your game, try core maximizer.

The video card is fine. Your problem is the simspeed. Just try to buy the fastet cpu you can get for FA. The laptop cpus are slower then desktop ones but i thnik an i7 should be strong enough.

[Mr-Smith]

im playing with
i5 460m atm and with that setons is not realy possible.
well i think the i7 3630qm is the fastest cpu i found so far(without paying to much). 2.4ghz - 3.4 gh turbo boost
and as fa is using just one core i hope it wont make much problems.

I used my laptop for several month, with a I7 2630qm and 640 gt and Seton games become too slow (or even replays). So don't expect a miracle.

[Softly]

Yes I wouldn't really look at the turbo figures, the only way you'll reach those is to oc (From my experience with a desktop i5)

Buy a cheap laptop and a dedicated gaming pc.


Also don't try and oc a laptop, it will melt and die.

[Mr-Smith]

as im nearly just playing FA i wont buy an extra gaming desktop.

and im also not playing setons. i just want something that allowes me playing some 4v4 or 5v5 like wonders or so on without starting to get -3 speed after 20min

the more units you have on the battlefield the slower simspeed will be. especially if you play against AI.
when you only play online multiplayer your laptop will not be the bottleneck for all the other players. guaranteed.
i play with an i7-720qm and i am not the slowest one either.

when you want to watch replays always at a simspeed of 0 or faster, you need a desktop with i5/i7 overclocked to 4 ghz or faster. even then the simspeed can drop to -6 in big asf battles on seton's clutch...

Ah yes, they great asf battles that even intel cannot defeat!
