g53sw is really better then g53sx?

[sarge_]

IT IS a rumor if you say that it is confirmed then show us a source! I heard that they can put 64 bit memory controllers instead of 32, so it still can be 192 bit

It has been confirmed both Asus and retailers. 64-bit memory controllers? How exactly would that help? YouTube - ‪Don't Stop Believing - Journey‬‏

totally agree. a 2-5 fps difference is far from crushing anything.

lol that depends, if it's going from 2fps to 7fps, yes, that's crushing it. But still sucking.

What?! I have been waiting for the SX and you guys are saying the SW thats out already AND cheaper is better? IS it only better because of the overclock feature? Doesn't the SX have bigger HDD as well as more ram? plus naked eye 3D!

[sarge_]

Yep, SW is better because of the faster 192bit GPU.
Naked eye 3D is not available yet and will not be available in the US, according to the retailers. No word about future availability.

I confirmed with NCIX here in Canada, and also called Asus directly and spoke to a techy there; they both said the SX has naked eye 3D

Take a look at the features/product description

Huh, interesting. Well, lets wait for the reviews then.

I dont think the one that is sold from Ncix is Naked Eye 3d, because it's the 1080p that they are selling, where the naked eye res is only 768p

anyway, for me, i would go for the SX

because, 1st, the difference between the 460 192bit and 560 128bit is not by any means HUGE

i will go for the SX because you can do Dual HDD, which is a plus for me for installing an additional SSD, it will compensate for the fps loss, and you can even go for Raid 0, more awesome!

and also, you get 12gb ram from the SX, now i know for gaming, 12 is an overkill, even 8 is in overkill, but it is also good if you would do something that requires that ram power in the future, like Video editing or if you are a crazy multi tasker ( like myself, i can open around 5 Adobe software at 1 time, although i am doing it on my 2010 MBA, and i know if i have 12 gigs, it would handle it better ), more is always better in my Dictionary

but yeah that's me, if you do care about the gaming more, then sure, go for the G53SW

----edit----

anyway, speaking of which, i am interested to know, other than the GPU ( which is won by the G53SW )

what other new feature is on the SX that the SW doesn't have?

like perhaps newer cooling system? new Mother Board?

[BLINKYCHRIS]

ok so for gaming and to Google sw is better i can get it 400 dollars cheaper then sx but im afraid that the 460 wont be able to play future games in the next year am i just paranoid or will it last 2-3 years?

[J.P.@XoticPC]

It will definitely last 2-3 years and play all games. However, it may not be able to play games at the max settings, of course.

Right now you can see FPS on current games here: Computer Games on Laptop Graphic Cards - Notebookcheck.net Tech

More than likely it'll be able to keep up with newer games when drivers come out, but it may not be able to go much more than "high" settings.

Asus G-series are good laptops for their price.
If you want something more powerful and with a good price/performance ratio, then look at Sager.
