Watch_Dogs--> Medium.

According to notebookcheck, Watch_Dogs at high gives 27 fps on Full HD... Maybe if the anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion are turned off/low, it will be playable on high...

27 fps is just about playable per se, but it all depends on whether it's a constant 27 fps or there are frame drops while driving and all...

Maybe if Ubisoft releases an update with better optimisation and Nvidia finally releases better drivers... :)

However, with Ubisoft's horrible track record, I wouldn't get my hopes up high...

That 27 FPS is average FPS. The drops while driving are immensely ridiculous. It will probably give 20-21 FPS while driving.

Right off the assembly line
As of now, there is only the 4K version of Y50 for India launch
I hope they add 1920X1080 model too
Presently 4K is not much popular and not of much use
Plus its a burden on the graphic card
Also, Any expected date of Launch?

Hi all. I will explain why prices differ for all countries around the world for IT products, and everything else that is considered consumer goods. Everyone will assume it should cost the same everywhere but it's not the case.

For comparison, US vs. India prices:
(1) Shipment cost --> It is relatively cheaper to ship to US than any other country
(2) Custom duties and other costs --> US has no duties at all for IT products. As for India, it's about 20% if you add all the costs to bring it to India
(3) Channel margins --> Margins in US is relatively lower compared to India, I will not delve into more details as every brands have different structure but 5-10% difference will add to cost
(4) Infrastructure --> US has more developed internal infrastructure (trucking, warehousing) than India, which reduces further costs.
(5) VAT taxes --> Prices in US are before tax of 12%. In India, it's already added to the final price

If you look at it this way, it's because of these external factors that make prices more expensive in India. Please understand that it's not about vendors ripping up end users, we all wanted to serve everyone better.

y50's screen (the regular TN/non touch model) sucks..and it sucks pretty bad..a y510p is way better than y50.
I am myself going in for one as my laptop can't handle it anymore (I'll be getting a sweet GT755m ultrabay extension as a top-up :D )
[MENTION=248727]seamon[/MENTION] ssup with your studies??
heard you're planning for your grads..err..masters*beer*GRE?:)

UPDATE:
I should mention it as well...that the viewing angles are pretty crappy and this vs a y510p regular glossy wins over y50 (regular/non-touch) not to mention the extreme low brightness case (for both AUO and chi mei panels), washed out colors; calibration won't do $h!t :/

I really had high hopes for Y50 but..Y50 is becoming a real factor for Lenovo to discontinue GT755m/750m removable gfx cards (though I just saw 755 back in stock #lenovo US) and push Y50's stock for dirt cheap :D

So i guess, Y500 n Y510p still has an edge...... BTW my Y500 runs Watchdogs at medium settings at 768p, with min fps of 25-26, normally around 30
Click to expand...

Why do you play at 768p??? Looks ugly... Play on FullHD...

It works well on FullHD and medium for me... SLI though... :)

Well, AFAIK VAT for electronics products here in India is 5% only, for rest of the products & services it is 12% + edu. cess

Y510p SLI/Y500 SLI OC= Y50.
No difference in performance.
