Still comes with free games? I can't afford this, should I wait until I get more money or buy the N770? Also how does this work with Micro boards?

There is about a 14% difference between a single 770 and a single 780 at 1920x1080 and in reality a 770 is more performance per $$$ so I would go with a single 770 for now and then add a second one in the future when you find its performance to be lacking. Or if you have cash to spare just upgrade to a 780 ti down the line...

This is a good computer and facebook games do not demand much from a PC from a technical stand point, so technically, a cheaper $300 netbook will do the trick there. If you want actual gaming (Counter Strike, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. ETC) then you need a different PC since this one has very limited upgrades due to it's small/compact size. If you need a strong Notebook/Laptop for gaming, go with a 15" alienware/dell or a 15' HP

I thought the N-740 was not worth it unless you were a gamer, since the it would not kick in for most other activity such as general surfing, etc. However, the 1080p screen upgrade is worth it and the intel card works well with 1080p in my opinion. You can disable the intel card to use the nvidia card but when you do that funny things happen, such as losing control of the brightness level for everything except gaming. So if your not a gamer, it appears to be a total wast to upgrade the video card unless you enjoy full brightness of the 740 card. At night, it was almost like looking at a flashlight it was so bright! Just my thoughts

I don't play any games, but the DVD and CD drive work very well. Caution folks....the Mac Afee Security 30 day download they give you does not work as it said I was virus free and I had caught the "Tuvaro Service.net Virus" the second day of surfing the face page on msn.com. It gave me their head page and browser and pounded me with ads I could not stop until I downloaded "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to rid it. Thats my second problem with Mac Afee Security.........worthless!!! Hope that helps everyone!!

Hi.sorry.I do not play computer games. Video quality wise I can say that sometimes it "hangs" on hd YouTube videos,sometimes it's ok.I'm not if it's video or network card problem. Overall I would say it's 4/5 device for the price.

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 haven't tested any game, but graphics are awesome, intel driver looks good and it has good memory, for what I need I think I chose the best option. Thank you so much!!

Yep, I bought this exact product a few months ago and it came with the NVIDIA GeForce 675MX already installed. Be warned though, the two memory slots behind the keyboard are tough to get at and there's zero official instructions on how to do it. When I called customer support, they told me "I don't know, try YouTubing it."

Im wondering the same thing, cause i still cannot find a deal as good as this anywhere, You can follow a forum ive been posting on past couple days, heres the link http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/564778-what-do-you-think-about-asus-g73sw-xa1.html

I've not played games on it, I imagine it would support some, but probably not new high tech hi RAM games.

I don't play games but it is supposed to be average on game performance. With quad core processor, 6G RAM and a fairly good video processor you should be OK. I use for Netflix and Youtube and the download and video performance is great. No problems whatsoever.

Yeah it's from the website but it is not the most recent model available there.it is built specifically to play pc games. I use steam and origin to download a lot of games, you can get decent quality graphics without lag.

that is one of the games that this card is made for, you better look at the ram, make sure your getting the 4 gig ram card

Because this is a high end netbook it probably doesn't have sufficient cpu resources to play most of the higher end games. Because it does have a good video adapter setup it will stream videos nicely. If you are buying it mostly for game playing you probably have the wrong type of laptop.

You can play some games. Because of the chipset used and its' limitations, the best games to play are "point and click" or turn based games. The more dynamic games are hard to control and will stutter or simply freeze.

Steve,This is a small footprint PC so slots, if any, are limited and require an equally small card. I never opened the case so I cannot say for sure if it does or doesn't have any open slots on the motherboard. I just checked and there are two open slots (unused) on PC case. If you are buying the PC from E-ZBuy Café, just give them a call for assistance. I did and they were very helpful as I had to load Windows 7 32-bit. They sent me DVDs for 32/64-bit Windows 7.We've had no issues with the PC and we are still happy with the purchase. The PC is primarily used for accessing the Internet and e-mail. Good luck on your purchase! Steve,This is a small footprint PC so slots, if any, are limited and require an equally small card.

Amazingly I still have the box. My box is PNY and smaller, 1 Gb and just checked it and has the low profile adapter (still in plastic !) Actually it has two, so you can use the VGA and HD connections side by side. Kind of dumb to use the VGA connector these days. Just one thing, I get a 7.3 and 7.4 on CPU (6 core AMD) and memory (8 GB 8200) but only 4.8 (lowest I have) so this is no "gaming" card. I have a work PC (6 core AMD and 8 Gb memory) and another $35 GForce card with the same stinky results. I have Win 7 and use this so I can see the 12 Pale Moon pages I have open with the "peep" turned on. I'm a school tech, so lots of checking and sites open at work and home. I'm usually 1.3 Gb of web page memory. My work one is a 500 MB memory GForce... To get high scores.. you need those $300+ cards. I have watched Amazon TV at full screen and it comes up in HD (24" monitor) real nice. Google it and you'll hear the same results, not for big time gaming (high frame rates) and that stuff no matter how much memory.
