Upgrading from a first gen i5 laptop - moderate gaming required - budget 35k

Congrats.. u can try OCing the gpu to 750/1050 i got good results from it.
Max u can go without much risk is 780/1075 but always 20-30mhz below what is meant to be a limited maximum.
Did u try 3dmark 11 to post scores?

TY!

Thanks.. I'll post them when I get 3D mark.. btw, i can't go beyond 735/1055MhZ.. I see artifacts if I push it any further. I'm using 13.4WHQL. Which drivers are you using?

bought the asus x53tk.. overclocked and undervolted the cpu from 1.5 GHz to 2.35 Ghz. Also, overclocked the GPU(7670m) from 600/900 MHz to 725/1055 MHz. upgraded the ram from 4gb to 8gb. The WEI for the CPU shot up from 6.5 to 7.1.. the base score is now 5.9(HDD).. Also, there is a noticeable improvement in frame rates in games after the overclock.. Temperatures are still under 85 degreed for the cpu and around 75 degrees in maximum stress mode.
Have an old backlog of games to clear (starting from the year 2005) so this should serve for 1.5 years at least considering that 2012-13 games can still run in medium settings at 768p resolution.
Thank you everyone for the assistance..

Congrats, if possible post in-depth review. because there are many people who have a budget of 30k and need a portable moderate gaming machine.

Use this drivers and tell the performance.

leshcat is for intel+amd I think.. X53tk is AMD+AMD
I'll post a review soon.. This may be(perhaps) the best gaming laptop under 30k
What all benchmarks do I need to run?

no need of any benchmark, just play games in Dx9 mode and tell people how is it in medium settings, sometimes people want to buy 30k laptop for medium gaming because they can't buy PC ( portability ).

i'm using leshcats 13.1 v1 whql. Mines intel + amd. For u not a problem use amd drivers. Found that from 13.8 beta even intel+amd guys can get the official amd drivers to work for them. Did u try keeping mem clock at 900 mhz and increasing core as far as possible until u see artifacts. I think u shud reduce ur memclock a bit n drag the core a bit more. My score for 750/1050 with turbo enabled for the cpu is P1523 and graphics is 1386 which is more than a hd 7690m at stock speeds and almost at a level of hd 7670m xt gddr5 one.

I'll get 3D Mark today and post the scores by tonight.. I find it more stable at 5/1055.. I'll take your advice and keep the memory clock at 900 and then see how far I can push the core clock..

which processor do you have? can you post a link to your detailed scores?

As promised, here are the 3D Mark 11 scores under different scenarios -
1. CPU @ 1.9 Ghz(stays at 70 degrees under load), GPU @ stock - 600/900, crossfire off - P1192 - *www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7121801
2. CPU @ 2.35 GHz (stays under 85 degrees during stress), GPU OC - 735/1055(stays around 77 degrees under stress), crossfire off - P1422 - *www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7121850
3. CPU @ 2.7 GHz (is in the middle 90's under stress), GPU OC - 735/1055(stays around 77 degrees under stress), crossfire off - P1433 - *www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7122685
4. CPU @ 2.35 GHz (stays under 85 degrees during stress), GPU OC - 735/1055 (stays around 77 degrees under stress), CROSSFIRE ON - P1833 - *www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7122902
With crossfire on, it reaches the level of a GT 640m..
Will post a review soon..
