Who has heard of the GTX 980 for notebooks. I checked the benchmarks for the gpu. And this thing can almost stand toe to toe with the desktop GTX 980. Just imagine the raw power of a desktop GTX 980 in a laptop |

@Adelana1 nice specs, so wat games have u tested on ur laptop |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 1:34pm On Sep 25, 2015 |
Gunbiz:Thevspecs aren't dat great jor. And dat Gpu is on the weak side. Ur 740m performs better dan my 820m. I've played so many games on it na. Most games run on it from low to medium settings. Fifa 15 is the only game that i play on high setting. But i'm currently playing Witcher 2 and Company of Heroes 2. |

AdeLaNa1: I just compared d 2 n I could nt believe wat I saw, even 940m is nt better than 740m.....and I thought d higher d number d better....u play fifa 15 on high setting, dats nice, av u tried nfs rivals on ur pc? |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 11:22am On Sep 26, 2015 |
Gunbiz:Dont let it surprise u too much. The gtx 780m, a 2 yr old gpu is better dan the gtx 960m a 6 month old gpu. Personally i've noticed dat the strongest Nvidia gpus are the ones dat end wit 50, 60, 70, 80. Wit 80 being the strongest. The very first number in those gpus is literally irrelevant. i played rivals on my former pc. It was nice. But i'm not much of a racing fan. I plan to play the new nfs sha... 2 Likes |

AdeLaNa1:Yeah, from the 50s upward they are branded by Nvidia as gaming Gpu, while the 40 downward are called multimedia gpu set. The first number signifies the architecture of the Gpu .eg.The 900s are called Maxwell architecture, the 700 are called Kepler architecture and with each successive iteration of architecture comes better optimization which leads to about 10% increase in performance. 2 Likes |

AdeLaNa1: oh I get.....d middle number is d determinant n I think it depends on d amount of dedicated memory |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by kenomobola(m): 3:35pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
Gunbiz: Yes it is, but you'll also have to watch out for the type of RAM being used on the GPU; is it the faster GDDR5 or the slower, and more bottleneck prone DDR3 variant. Once you know all these you'll be picking Nvidia GPUs like a champ. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by dazekid(m): 7:43pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: It's less than an 8% difference and we have to also take into consideration the laptop chips and board, mobile processor, cooling, storage etc in the laptop tests so these I believe cap the card's performance, the card itself is beast. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by dazekid(m): 7:47pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
Gunbiz: Nvidia's naming scheme puts the model level on the second number while the first number defines architecture. 780, is higher than 950. Like that. But most people don't know this and even in laptop sales, you can get a better GPU in a laptop at a cheaper price based on this because everybody thinks about the first number. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by dazekid(m): 7:53pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: The first number is not irrelevant na, it is how you separate Keplar from Fermi and maxwell, but yeah, it is mostly irrelevant as far as people are concerned. But you're right on the rest though. E go even shock you say GTX 280 from 2008 is mostly better than GTX 850M from 2014. Nvidia be confusing consumers like crazy. |

Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 8:02pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
kenomobola:I think most GPUs both mobile and desktop come wit GDDR5 ram tho. Its just the size that varies.. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by dazekid(m): 8:06pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
Gunbiz: The amount doesn't really matter. A 2GB RAM card with DDR5 memory is still better than a 4GB RAM card with DDR3 Memory. Besides, for Nvidia's lower memory cards, you still have GeForce experience that does insane optimization. And yeah the middle number is the determinant. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 8:07pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
dazekid:
The GPU consume a lot of power tho and dats reasonable considering it performs almost at a similar level to its desktop counterpart. So i'm guessing bulky laptops like dem Alienware 18 are the only ideal laptops for this GPU. |

Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 8:12pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
dazekid:Yh. I even read a rumour somewhere dat the nxt line of Nvidia GPUs are g=coming wit a new and better architecture. Lool! Even AMD is pretty straightforwad. I think the higher the number of AMD cards, the better |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 8:17pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
dazekid:I know a guy who wanted to buy a PC and he got all excited coz he saw one wit a gtx 850M going for like 220k. And there was also anoda PC wit a gtx 770M going for like 210k. The guy was a complete noob. If not for me he'd ve wasted an extra 10k on buying that 850M |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by dazekid(m): 8:26pm On Sep 27, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: Yeeee no o, I saw in one of linustechtips videos that the GPU has been fitted into a laptop that I don't think has a base thicker than 20mm so it could probably make it's way into the HP envy or Dell XPS form factor. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 2:44am On Sep 28, 2015 |
dazekid:That GPU in a HP laptop?? Knowing HP, the price gon probably be like $3000 |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by dazekid(m): 6:56am On Sep 28, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: Lol, I'm sure any laptop with that GPU would cost 3000 or 2500 minimum. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by zion32(m): 7:42am On Sep 28, 2015 |
Anyone know any upcoming triple A game with native Directx 12 support?. I know Amd is working with Eidios Montreal on Deus Ex- Mankind Divided but aside that i dont know of any. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by zion32(m): 7:48am On Sep 28, 2015 |
If Direct X 12 performs as expected, the ball might pass on to AMD as AMD has a better performance gain compared to Nvidia. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by kenomobola(m): 9:11am On Sep 28, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: Theoretically, yes. However you'll notice that some cheaper GPU variants come with the slower DDR3 RAM. |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Nobody: 7:55pm On Oct 01, 2015 |
Nvidia's next-gen Pascal GPU will offer 10x the performance of Titan X, 8-way SLI 8-way SLI What is wrong wit dis people An Octa-SLI. U'd be running games at 2000fps at 8K resolution and Extreme settings |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by kenomobola(m): 9:31am On Oct 02, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: Interesting development, but expect to pay top dollar for the privilege. Your bank account might also suffer cardiac arrest from such a purchase. 1 Like |

kenomobola:Azzin. The gtx Titan X is $1000. Now imagine have eight of those. U'll be spending close to 1.5million naira on GPUs alone. Insane |

kimco:pls I'm also in Accra, wanna ask if airtel bis is still unlimited and which plan is it and can it be shared with PC? thanks |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by Wizzoe360: 9:30am On Oct 07, 2015 |
AdeLaNa1: PLS I NOTICED MOST PEOPLE WHEN INDICATING THERE GPU,IT MOSTLY GT AND NOT GTX. THERE IS HUGE DIFFERENCE BTW BOTH, D GTX IS FOR EXTREME LAPTOP MOSTLY GAMING LAPTOPS . FOR MORE INFO VISIT http://www.geforce.com/hardware |

I haven't started gaming on my PC cos I just got it. specs: amd a4 6210 quad core @1.8ghz radeon r3 512MB @600mhz 4gb ram,will soon upgrade to 6gb 250gb hdd, will get external soon. I wanna know if this specs can play gta v (low settings) and metal gear 4/5 edit: total available graphic memory-2gb, dedicated video memory-512mb, system video memory-0mb, shared system memory-1.5gb. pls who can explain the meaning of these terms. thanks |
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by kenomobola(m): 11:44am On Oct 07, 2015 |
opestein: Unfortunately your system's GPU and CPU combo might not allow you to play GTA V or Metal Gear. The CPU is less powerful than a third generation core i3 CPU, while the GPU is equivalent to an intel HD4000 GPU. It might be good for multimedia, but it will struggle massively with PC games. |
