Acer 7750-- good computer for Diablo 3?

[jackcrab]

Hi, looking to buy this computer:

Newegg.com - Acer Aspire AS7750G-9810 Notebook Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 17.3" 6GB Memory DDR3 750GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi AMD Radeon HD 7670M

Is that going to be good to run diablo 3 on pretty high settings? any imput on this line of computers?

thanks!

I have that exact model, and I hope so!

I believe it will be if you limit the FPS to 30, which is what I have to do for most games. Just Cause 2, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Kingdoms of Amalur run well at medium-high settings when you limit FPS to 30. Diablo III should be roughly equivalent, if not less demanding than those games.

I bought a 7750G-6645 off TigerDirect for $500. Then I bought a 128GB Crucial m4 and bought a second 4 gig stick of ram. So for under $650 I have a pretty good Diablo 3 machine!

I wouldn't buy the 9810 considering what you are paying extra for. The CPU is the bulk of the cost and won't help you play D3. The extra 250gb on the hard drive won't help you and the extra 2 gigs of ram is super cheap to upgrade yourself. The extra gig of video ram definitely won't help, since the laptop's screen is only 1600x900 and the video card isn't powerful enough to use that much memory.

I expect to play somewhere between medium to high settings on this computer with good frame rate.

i bought the 7750G-6645 and unfortunately i can't really play any games. Keep getting blue screens due to ati sys file or i get error that display driver stopped working. Updated drivers from Acer site to no avail, and nothing from AMD/ATI site works. Nor does leshcat drivers.

I have the same model. It should play Diablo 3 at least on medium settings near 30fps I would expect, if not better. I think I saw some benchmarks for the 7670m floating around, I'll see if I can drum them up.

Keep in mind, you can overclock the 7670m GPU also. Compare the 7670m to the 7690m, both clockspeeds and FPS on benchmarked games at notebookcheck.com. You will see that if you overclock the 760m to the same specs as the 7690m, it "should" run similar FPS, and it's a substantial increase in speed.

I have overclocked and mine run good. I've OC'd 150mHz core clock over and temps run mid 60's, that's only a short gaming session however, less than 30min.

You will need to consider flashing an unlocked BIOS and specify the system to only use the 760m instead of switching to the integrated if you're thinking of overclocking.

Edit: According to this, although untested, it should run on high settings at 1366x768 resolution at least 40fps. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Compute...s.13849.0.html

I have that laptop, with 12GB ram, and yes I can run it on HIGH settings!

Yes, pretty good..between medium/high.

For 850? Not such a great deal, unless your really into the big screen.

Can get a Lenovo y470 with 7690 for 700, or better yet a y480 with gt 640m for 850$

The i5 version would suffice and give you decent frame rates especially overclocked to 7690m levels- all for under $500. Maybe get an extra 4 gb ram stick for $20 and good to go. Now that is a deal -

Also the 7670m is a faster xt version with gdrr5 not the ddr3 version. When I had the notebook, that is what showed in the bios.
