Re: HP Pavilion G6 2005/2010/2201/2301/2302AX - powered by Trinity

So u mean that all games can be played in mid-high settings with low resolutions like 800X600??? Right but u people will help me if those games dont work wont u people ???

1366X768 i.e. standard resolution with most games can be played at high (Dirt Showdown, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty BO i.e. 2010-11 games) and some (Most Wanted 2012, Battlefield 3) at low-mid.

I can run BF3 at mid with 30-40 fps with high resolution. But, this laptop might not perform very good in open world games except just cause 2.

AMD A10 Laptops are here .. And again it's HP who made the first move..

HP Pavilion G6-2313AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

Pricing is as expected .. But unfortunately most people will go for A8 @ 5k less or go for better laptops of i5 3rd gen .. At least that's what makes sense .. Except for the 2GB GPU all other specs are same as G6-2010AX..

Wow good job FK. The price is great for the specs it is offering. If only i had waited another month I would definitely go for this. :p

Disable crossfire to use 7640g (it can be done in high performance mode aswell) and you can't use 7670m alone. It can only be used in crossfire with the 7640g i guess.

I played and completed Max Payne 3 a week back .. I have used AMD Catalyst 12.8 initially .. But then reinstalled windows 7 and played it with the default factory drivers as I'm not willing to update drivers till AMD releases something new .. Maybe 13.01 .. Apparently with high settings there was considerable lag,set everthing to medium(normal) runs smooth even with highest resolution.. Now when using high performance mode you will see inside game settings that graphics memory available is 1024MB with dual gpu off and this is the best settings to play the game.. Turn on dual gpu the graphics memory increases to 3072MB .. But then there will be lags again and not as smooth as when using single gpu.. So AMD crossfire is backfiring and no solution yet .. Don't think the latest drivers released would solve it .. Maybe we have to wait further..

Wow good job FK. The price is great for the specs it is offering. If only i had waited another month I would definitely go for this. :p

You would choose A10 over i5 3rd gen? Any particular reason?:-?

Yes battlefield 3 runs really awesome with medium settings at 1366*768 .. No problems whatsoever .. really surprised me! :D Didn't expect so much out of A8 .. Now this laptop is proving my money's worth .. I'm really eager on playing GTA V on this machine .. See how that turns out .. Hope Rockstar doesn't release a 30GB game .. the way they're increasing the game sizes of GTA since San Andreas we're up for a lot of surprises ..

not possible. from what i have seen, if you switch to high performance and disable crossfire, 7670M kicks in.

A10 cost 3k more than A8. i5 cost 3k more than A10. but instead of A10, i'll choose i5 anyday. A8 is unbeatable at 33-34k. I was expecting a 7770M + A10 setup by HP/Samsung but only 7670M can crossfire with the fGPU of APU which is AMD's trump card which they don't want to give up. They are kicking themselves limiting the crossfire configuration and not fixing the reduced crossfire performance.

GTA V may end up as a console game only and later getting ported to PC (and you get a buggy nonperforming console port just like GTA4). And 30GB "may" turn out to be the under size. i expect the game to balloon to ~35GB+

HP Pavilion G4-2049TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

This laptop was 39k on flipkart just a few days ago and I found it at a price of 36k in retail stores in Kolkata.. I don't know if the prices have been raised currently but if the price is in the range of 36-37k then who would buy A10??
HP has also released another A8 laptop G6 2314AX same as G6 2010AX .. Don't understand the strategy :|

HD 7670M is pretty old now.. Something new should be available by now .. it's strange really .. sticking with the same configuration for almost a year now.. AMD is also delaying the new driver updates .. Been sometime now..

You mean to say it will take installing 5-6 dual layer dvds? :p Maybe they can distribute it in 32GB flash drives .. Would cost you 3000 ₹ .. Going to be fun!

dudes how to install video drivers'latest (from hp website) and mobility catalyst 12.8 which is the best as much as one review told me or maybe 12.9 or 12.10...Ok dudes i knew that there it all meaning features in the control catalyst centre like eteinfinity and many others so please give a-z optimsations in these places for gaming!!! by how to i mean that 1>should we normally install them(both video drivers and catalyst drivers) over the another

2>Should we install both in safe mode

3>Should we install them in safe mode with administrator permisiions. If none please show me the way

HP Pavilion G4-2049TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS/ 1GB Graph) - HP: Flipkart.com

only laptop that cost below 40k. because it is 14".

HP has also released another A8 laptop G6 2314AX same as G6 2010AX .. Don't understand the strategy :|

add me to the list of peoples who don't understand HP's strategy. why not a laptop with no discrete GPU. or a A8 based probook. But most likely, 2010AX is to be retired or this one will not be FK exclusive.

HD 7670M is pretty old now.. Something new should be available by now .. it's strange really .. sticking with the same configuration for almost a year now.. AMD is also delaying the new driver updates .. Been sometime now..

it'll take ~2-months before AMD 8-series mobile GPU appears but those will shuffle the performance and sku's as HD 8670M is going to be lowend and perform worse than 7670M. Instead of 87xxM going to take place of 7670M.

Max Payne 3 was huge for what it offered. GTAV "can" be blueray only for next gen consoles.

what i don't understand here is why companies put 2GB graphic cards in every laptop? the fact is while gaming it hardly uses 900MB of graphic card, 2GB graphic cards are useless and also adds to overheating.

Don't know about others but I install the catalyst drivers directly from AMD & believe me 12.11 beta 11 is very nice compared to 12.10

Yeah 2GB VRAM is wastage but i could not link it with overheating thing..

download the Catalyst Mobility 13.1 (or 12.11) driver from AMD's site and install it over the default ones in normal mode of operation.

Query for HP Pavilion G6-2313AX laptop having AMD A10-4600M Trinity processor..

I am thinking of buying HP Pavilion G6-2313AX, the specs look real good and it looks like a good value buy. Has anyone yet used/tried it. I checked the local stores in Ahmedabad, but they didn't have it. I want to buy this in couple of days.
Only problem is, it comes with only DOS, so might have to invest xtra 3.5K in Win8 DVD from Flipkart. So the combo of the laptop with Win8 will cost around 41K. is it really worth it???Please help asap.
