^^ cpubenchmark relies on passmark score which is not good..
Check notebookcheck benches of cinebench, wprime , and other softwares
it is slightly slower than i3 3rd gen and an a10 is in between i3 and i5 3rd gen..
If amd processors were running at their full capacity 2.8 ghz/3.2ghz then story would have been different. Also note llano cpu performance is better than trinity at same clock speed. A6 3500m at 2.0 ghz beats a8 4500m at 2.3ghz..

Is the GPU better than GT630M?

HD 7670 itself is faster than GT 630. And when HD 7640G + 7670 are run as crossfire, then it is much faster.

Processor wise? Nope.

But graphics wise and in running games, this is much faster. Unbeatable at the price.

Also the display seems to be unusually brighter than normal!!
(I have reduced the gamma levels)but the colors are still brighter then usual.

Has anyone tried to install window 7 ultimate(x64) yet?

whenever i try to boot window 7 setup from USB! It loads fine but then it stops as it can't find load drivers indeed continue the setup! what could be wrong?

set temperature to 6500k and tick on the option above that ( something like extended )

Thanks Rish..I tried that but that returns the bluishness in the screen..I m keeping it at 5300K which is looking fine to me.

Thanks davinder..gamma to .80 did help little bit..
want to increase little bit sharpness.

I am having exact opposite problem :p
No matter wat setting i apply, it seems little bit dark..n sharpness seems less..

First of all, thanks for the reviews :doublethumb:. This laptop looks like a real deal. Was going to buy the Samsung np300ez Corei5 @ ~35.5k, but it was out-of-stock on FK and everywhere else (almost).

Then while searching hit some HP G6 related threads and the config looked awesome for the money we are paying.

Ordered it on FK today though the price is ~33.9K. Called up 2-3 retailers in my area (suburbs, Mumbai). They quoted 35.4K & 33.4K without freebies or accessories. So decided to go with FK since they offer 900/- cooling pad + an extra years' warranty.

Expected date of delivery is 1st August, so will try to post a detailed review if I'm able to.

1.5GB graphics memory, dual GPU, quad core. All these makes it looks like an ultra-premium laptop and 99% buyers fall for it. Most weight graphics power by just amount of graphics memory thats why last hot seller was the Asus K53SD with crap GT610.

HP G6 2005AX Need Assistance !!

Hey people.. I bought HP g6 2005ax 2 weeks. Must say i very good laptop..
Windows experience index shown below shows the performance of this awesome laptop.

CPU - 6.7
RAM - 5.9
Graphics - 6.7
Gaming Graphics -6.7
Hard disk - 5.9

Yes.. U must be amazed by seeing 6.7 for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics.. if u want that rating set in high performance mode and disable Crossfire.. i.e.
* Disable APU+GPU..
* Set for only APU..
Then when High performance is set it wil only use dGPU instead of using dGPU+iGPU which results in higher performance because of crappy amd drivers for CROSSFIRE. :lol:


NOW THE REAL PROBLEM IS Turbo clock

I wonder if somebody can help me on this..
*When i use the laptop in hp recommended mode.. It moves between 1.4 - 1.9 ghz

* When i use in high performance mode.. it stays constantly on 1.9 ghz BUT NEVER MOVES TO 2.3 ghz.. :-(

Can some of you .. who are already using the laptop or know how it works explain me about this. plz.. :|

Additional details : I use a gadget to monitor clock speed.

And
Wen i play games cpu temp goes upto 84 degrees(avg 80 degrees).. even with the cooler pad.. is this normal..? I stay in bangalore and its not too hot here.

Additional Details : Im using zebronics cooler pad.. People who are using cooler master can share their reviews about cooling.

Shops tell customers to avoid AMD because of the heating problem in earlier AMD Processors.. But Now its totally good.. I have this laptop and it stays at 35 degrees in normal operation but goes to 80 degree while gaming (like any other gaming laptop would do). Trust Hp g6 2005ax.. Go for it my friend !!

1. There is mechanism to on/off dGPU in ati catalyst control panel. if u off dgpu .. it uses only apu graphics.. The other option is APU+dGPU which use both of them. There is a way for which u can select GPU for each application.
For games select high performance mode(dGPU) or other light apps use Power Saving Mode(APU).

2. The laptop comes with two partitions C and D drive(recovery). Leave the D drive as it is and U can shrink the size of C drive.. then Free space is created and u can create more drives in the free space.

3. All the drivers and basic softwares are pre-installed.. No need of anything extra.

4.My friend, u will be amazed to know that u can play MAFIA II on high settings without any lag on 30 FPS(Everything High PhysX turned OFF) .. :-D
You have not experienced this gaming beast. Here are the other games which worked on this laptop :
* NFS Run - All Medium setting , Texture ultra - 30 FPS :-D
All High Setting , Texture ultra - 25 FPS

* Dirt Showdown - Everything Maxed OUT !! - 40 - 50 fps :lol:

* Assassin's Creed Revelations - All maxed Out - 35 - 45 fps :-D

*GTA IV - All maxed out - Avg. 25 fps :wink:

Hope This was helpful to everyone who wants to buy this laptop. :-o
