All laptop related queries here!!!

[nikufellow]

Thank you for your response, but the reported benchmarks are done in high performance mode and i also disabled power saving mode in BIOS

try doing something heavy like archiving and see clock speed with cpu z simultaneously !

 

[topgear]

@ Vivek Ananda - is it possible for you to format the OS partition and re-install a fresh copy of the OS or else you can try with using some linux live distro like Knoppix and check the cpu speed from there. A long time back due to corrupted OS cpu driver one of my DC cpu was showing as single core only .. a OS reinstall fixed the issue though.

Why not no more thinking get going!

 

[thetechfreak]

@sankar absolutely. Have it replaced. It's still in warranty and HP is obliged to do it free of cost.

Hey Guys what are the options available at around 30K?(VFMs)

Also IIRC some new series of CPU or GPU was gonna launch in May, which one was it?

 

[thetechfreak]

Hey Guys what are the options available at around 30K?(VFMs)

What will be the usage scenario ? How much of gaming is involved?

 

[Niilesh]

Give Me options in two scenarios- 1. Gaming oriented(I think it will be the HP one) 2. Casual gaming, mostly just normal multimedia(videos/songs)

I think one which will be best of both worlds is this: *www.flipkart.com/hp-pavilion-g6-13...gb-500gb-win7-hb-1gb-graph/p/itmd7ygzmytsetqk

The AMD APU will serve a fine purpose for multimedia and gaming.

Please suggest otherwise if there is a better one available and help me finalize.
Also please suggest a deal which can help me extend warranty, if possible.

I think one which will be best of both worlds is this: HP Pavilion G6-1313AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A6/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win7 HB/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

The AMD APU will serve a fine purpose for multimedia and gaming.

It looks nice(specs wise)
BTW is there any significant difference btw that A6 and A4 3300M?

HP Pavilion G6-2314AX @ 33K looks nice but it may be out of budget for my cousin

 

[thetechfreak]

@Niilesh Have a look at this: AnandTech | The AMD Llano Notebook Review: Competing in the Mobile Market


Great article, explained everything in depth.

check HP Probook 4445S for casual gaming (check my review in review section). decent mix of performance and build quality. excellent battery backup, light weight, aluminium finish, 3yr warranty. but lacks a dedicated graphics card so most recent games can only be played at mid. lastly priced at 30k.

3xxx is last gen APU. then A4 was only dualcore. current gen APU has A4 & A6 as both dualcore. Better to pick a laptop with A8/i3 than A4/A6, as processor may bottleneck the discrete graphics in case the laptop is used for hardcore gaming.

Guys,I need a help.
I noticed an issue which did nt went even after overclocking.
In my laptop,6770m is default clocked at 725/800 for Core/Memory clock.However even after playing the most demanding of games like far cry 3,battlefield 3,crysis 3 etc,GPU Z showed 725/200 as the maxm frequency.
I overclocked it to 850/950...The memory frequency maxm was still stuck at 256.5MHz.
Is there something wrong with my laptop??

Also,please have a look on my HDD's Temp.....Are they normal??

 

[topgear]

Uninstall AFB, Uninstall and reinstall gpu driver .. this should fix the memory clock issue and try Trixx for OCing.

HDD temp is fine.

 

[swiftshashi]

Sory but what is AFB...????I'Ve tried every single driver,and this time also,I reinstalled the drivers after uninstalling them,but of no use...Also tried trixx for overclocking....but again the same story repeats...

 

[coderunknown]

^^ MSI After Burner.

your GPU has DDR3 or GDDR5 memory?

 

[swiftshashi]

GDDR5 memory....

Default clocks say another story..............Is my GPU faulty??

 

[powerstarprince]

don't always trust gpu-z, it sometimes shows up false info. check using amd gpu overclock tool, it should show correct readings.
