Key Qualities

I am probably going to get the SLi 8600's, what do you think.

Wonder why this thread isn't getting much attention.

I am leaning more towards the Dual 86's, what do you think?

Max COD4? Play future games?

Alienware m15x has a single 8800, but it is a 15" and starts at $1500. The alienware m17x is 17", can have 8600/8700/8800sli, and starts at around $2100. Try dell's and sager also.

Also, is sli doesn't offer more than 15 percent over a single gpu, dual 8600's won't be that good. I would really recommend a single 8800 or dual 8700's.

Well the people on Newegg had nothing bad to say about the laptop.

I cant get any straight answers from anyone, would the MacBook Pro with a single 8600 play COD4 max and stuff?

I have a friend with two 8600's... They're Ok. He can max CoD4, but they aren't great! How much more expensive is the GTX? That'd be by far the better deal!

g4m3rof1337 · 05-16-2008, 08:23 AM

A GTX build would be around $2500.

So it can max COD4, but you dont think for some future games as well?

Thanks.

That's a fair bit more money, isn't it...
Yeah CoD4, maybe some other games. But I don't really know how long it'll last for... I mean, they aren't exactly great cards. I know it's a laptop 'n all.

If the price wasn't an issue for you, the GTX is better.

What about Alienware, how are their laptops?

g4m3rof1337 · 05-16-2008, 08:29 AM

Their laptops are good, but if money wasn't a problem, within reason, the GTX would be my choice.

I just noticed the Toshiba and the reviews that struck me.

Well, if money isn't a problem, Then I'd go for the GTX! When you think about it though, Two 8600's in a laptop is pretty damn good! So either way, I'm sure it'll be a good decision!
