Is it better to get this, Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT750M with the i5 intel, or the Y50 NVIDIA GTX-860M 2G i7. Looking for the best gaming performance

The i7 isnt really that much of a difference than the i5. The i5 is good gaming performance as it is.

Y50 is way better choice. Not all games are SLI compatible(Titanfall got after many months and still not perfectly compatible). So in many games single 750M can hardly run in Medium settings in 1080p. I've had occasional screen tearing issues for BF4 due to the way SLI rendering.860m is equivalent to 770m in performance(fps) with less heat dissipation. For Single player games i5(dual core) is plenty; i7(quad core) shows its prowess in Multiplayers(Battlefield4 64player conquest etc..) Just note that Y50 got terrible screen with washed out colors worse than y510p(check notebookcheck.net site for details). I suggest to take a look in person before buying y50.

The GT750M SLI with the i5 intel performs very well but, I think the Y50 would be a better choice. The reason the Y50 is better is because, it has a GTX860M and a i7, which an i7 is faster than an i5.

My XPS X8700-1877BLK Desktop came with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645. Works great.

I own GTX 670 4GB. It is a really good card. Mainly I'm using 3Ds Max with my computer. So, still I go with 670 because of 4GB Vram.But definitely GTX 770 should be faster than 670. If you are into games GTX 770 outperforms 670. For gaming 2GB will be more than enough.

I don't know if it's better than the GAMING 5, but I have had no issues at all with it, it POSTed the first time. I have the Core i7-4770K in it and it works wonderfully.

If the extent of your gaming is FarmVille and Angry Birds, go for it. If you want to run any of the latest mainstream games like Assassin's Creed and Battlefield, I highly recommend a laptop with an accessory GPU from NVIDIA. Getting a system with a GT 740M would not be much more expensive.

With 2 graphic cards you get practically double the performance for games or other applications which use graphic processing.Check the tests here for 1 card: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M.71887.0.htmland for 2 graphic cards (the same config as this noetbook): http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M-SLI.84953.0.html

David, according to my device manager it has both. I, of course, use the NVIDIA card for my graphics.

I can only speak for the AMD Graphics Card version of this laptop. This laptop exceeds my expectation when it comes to games. With some graphics options twist you can get a really good experience and fps with your games. You won't be getting 60fps but a stable 30fps in a lot of games. You will see some lag if there is more going on but that quickly goes away. In regards to multimedia use this machine is a beast. You can do everything from gaming, movies, word-processing, and online use all at once, seriously. I do not know how the NVIDIA performs but I can say I am more than satisfied with how AMD's switchable graphics performs. I would recommend, if possible, to upgrade to a faster hard drive. I found that load times can take a little longer than you want them to but you will get used it. I would recommend looking at this version of the laptop which has a dedicated graphics card and may improve your gaming experience. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V5-552G-X414-15-6-inch-Laptop/dp/B00DKFFLMY/ref=pd_sim_pc_5

Hi John.This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

The only gaming you can get from this card is 2d games like Dont starve, as for 3d game your very limited. Like for Garry's mod you HAVE TO put low setting like low as can go, MW1 lags a bunch youll probally get like 24-27 fps on low setting. Do I reccomend this card? Hell no! Aim for something else. It may be pricey for a better one but its worth it, Trust me

I bought this laptop a couple months ago, so...The Nvidia card is the main for graphics(2gb) and the built in Intel 4600 card is the backup(1gb). It's, essentially, a dual graphics card. Hope that info helps and, by the way, this laptop rocks!

Best thing to advise here is to check the Nvidia web site and compare the specs first hand. Compare the requirements of the card to the specs on the motherboard. This is a great card. I have the 2 gig model.

You can control which gpu to use as you set dedicated gpu per program, or let it run default. Normally, 750m gpu won't kick in until games are running by default.Sounds like 4 speakers in really good quality. They can play relatively loud compared to my alienware m18x r1. What games are you playing?

Yes, that's what I installed it on. There is almost no reduction in performance between 2.0 and 3.0. Apparently no video card currently out can actually outperform 2.0 at this time. Well, I haven't confirmed that with the newly released GTX 700 models.

very good gpu.. I bought this graphic card too.. and i like it too.. its perfect to me, no need a big power supply.. 450 watts, its ok to work fine, because the graphic card need only 75 watts ;) and with only this 75 watts she makes a very great job.. dont worry.. its a good choice :D

Sorry just do not see it. 9092sLV - NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M... 8182SLV - Intel HD Graphics

I play Battlefield 4 and Guild Wars 2. Both keep a smooth steady 60fps. It would probably be higher if my system was a little beefier. I have an AMD940 with ddr2 ram. I don't overclock, and it always stays a tad below 70c under load. My machine gets a little loud when everything is running at full speed, but Im not sure if I can hear the GPU fan above the power supply and CPU fan which will speed up under load. I think its a great card for the money.
