heyitsheather Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm looking at a laptop to replace my worn 3 year old machine. I'm looking at an HP Envy dv6t select edition and am curious primarily on the graphics performance as I will be playing a few games. Specs: i5-3230m gt 635m 750GB 8GB Win 8 The display is a backlit LED (new on a laptop for me) and only has a resolution of 1366x768. I'll be using it for basic photoshop and encore tasks, visual studio 2010 (just starting to learn), dvd ripping with handbrake and a few games consisting of: Dragon Age: Origins Dragon Age 2 Age of Empires 3 Mass Effect 3 the new Sim City I'm replacing 3 year old hp dv6z thats running a Turion II M520 with integrated HD 4200 graphics with 4GB. I know the newer specs are heads and tales over the older, but I'm curious on what to expect from the newer GPU's performance. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakers Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 You'll need a higher resolution and gaming with pretty much any chip will fall short on a laptop once you get towards 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
