Hi guys,
Just looking for some input regarding my new laptop. I'm trying to decide whether a GTX 780M is worth the extra outlay over a 770M - currently it demands roughly £250 more.
Would I be better sinking that money into other upgrades rather than the GPU?
For example, for around the £1300 mark I could get a laptop with a i5 4200, 750GB (7200rpm) HDD and a GTX 780M. Or, for £100 less, the same laptop but with a i7 4700, a 128GB SSD in addition to the HDD and a Killer 1202 wireless adapter with Bluetooth.
Seems like the latter offers a lot more for the money, but will the drop to a 770M make a big difference as far as games go?
I mainly play (reasonably) easy games in terms of system resources, such as Warframe and EVE. However I also enjoy BF4 and will want this laptop to last a couple of years - enough at least to play Star Citizen reasonably well.
Also, I will be using this laptop for uni work, including all office programs but particularly MS Excel, Access and Visio.
I'd consider AMD too, but currently they seem a little out-matched in the mobile market - unless I'm wrong there!
Thanks to anyone with any insight!
Edit: Forgot to mention that I'd like to be using a resolution of 1920x1080, in case that makes a significant difference.
