Gaming - dv6tqe/dv7tqe

[taxmantoo]

World of Warcraft

1366 x 768
Maxed out settings

~55 fps in major cities
~50 fps in raids and pvp

dv6t quad, AMD 6770m?

Any chance you can put it on a monitor and rerun the speed test at 1600x900 and/or 1920x1080?

Should I get the Dv6tqe or the Dv7tqe? I want the Dv6t because it is smaller and more portable, but how much of a difference is the 1366x768 in the Dv6 from the 1600x900 resolution in the Dv7? Does the 1366x768 resolution look good while gaming? Wouldn't the higher resolution be better?

Also what is the size difference between the two?

Thanks

If you're carrying it to friends or between two locations / houses -> dv7

if you really want to use it "on-the-go" smaller is better for you, however the dv6 is pretty heavy, I'd go for dv7 als DTR and something smaller, perhaps office only, for mobile computing.

I will be bringing it cross country a lot. So I'll be going to the airport with this and a 15" MBP.

Isn't DV6 less strain on the GPU because of small resolution, so it will play future games better?

Anyone played Portal 2 on either system? I figure it will run fine at the dv6 and dv7's respective native resolutions at maximum details, but you know what happens when you ASSume.

I also looked at the posts about overclocking at your own risk. I have never overclocked before so would it harm your machine, and what kind of performance boosts would you see with the 6770m if you did?

try not to exceed clock 800mhz / memory 900mhz if you do not know what you are doing, and monitor temperatures

try to climb in 15 into 15 or 25 from stock clocks, little by little and test a good time to see the temperatures and system stability

I can play it on my dv6-3000 with 5650 at native res at about 30-40 fps when my gpu is oc'd, so you'll be able to play it at 50-60 at native most likely.

Updated. Anyone gonna do one for Portal 2?
