that's what i currently have. It's giving me in game problems (idk if its laptop related or not, wasn't this way on old one) and i still have 5 days left on my return receipt so I'm considering returning it if i can get a better deal in a short period of time.

someone recommended this one. I can kinda tell it's better from some of the parts, but with the card i can't. The only thing i really know is to check onboard memory, but what's the difference between multiple cards that are 2g cards?


Would it be a good idea to wait till black friday/cyber monday? Would there be a significantly better deal on those days?



My budget is around $700-$800. If there's a significant jump a little over $800 i'd consider it.



I don't really play any high detail games currently. I play league and cs, but would like the option to play newer games if needed.


Is there something better than the one posted above in my budget? Any help would be greatly appreciated D:

get the laptop you were suggested. same laptop I have and it is great for the price. you won't find a better gpu around this price... next best is a 965m and those are typically around $1,100+

probably don't want to base a lot off this site alone, but it gives you an idea

this is one that just popped up on my facebook feed


Is this worth the extra $60 bucks?
