Dv6tqe or Sager for gaming?

[sirstark]

unless you are going for the sager np8150, no the card is not going to be upgradeable.

Yes the card is going to be your bottleneck at the 1366*768 res in some years, I bet more than 4, however if you are going for 1080p, this is not the notebook for you, the np8150 is

I don't mind playing on 1366x768 as long as the screen quality is still good(beautiful picture) as long as I can play high settings at this resolution on most games for the next year or so I'm fine.

I mean, lower resolution doesn't reduce picture quality, does it?

no panel quality reduce the picture quality

Saw the dv6tqe in MicroCenter today. Seems to be pretty good, but I've of course seen better resolution.

Sager now has a NP5165 which offers the 1920x1080 option and GT555M so I could end up giving back the HP to get that one if I am not satisfied with the resolution. I currently have an ancient 14 inch Dell running at 1024x768 so I'm not that concerned as many others.

As OP said, only problem with that is those are about the same graphic cards performance wise, except your playing in an insanely high resolution. The HP will be better, unless you want to play on 1080p, you'll have to reduce most settings to med to have playable fps.

Personally I would go with the HP, the resolution doesn't make a huge difference gaming wise imo, and at that resolution you can play any game he listed easily on high.

Generally it's not a good idea to base your screen resolution decision entirely on gaming.

You can always turn down the resolution to 1366x768 in the game settings and experience a little bit of scale-down blur (I run Crysis 2 at 960x600, doesn't bother me at all and doesn't distract from the gameplay), but you can never make up for the fact that your 15.6" notebook would have the same amount of virtual screen realestate as an 11.6" notebook.
