Does it lagg on high?

[burberrybedroom]

is it me or does it look fucking kick ass even on low?? im not a fan of the shadows though they ruin it i would turn them off.

[SuperNumber19]

lol @the funky funny music. man you got to take in consideration rockstars hard work for putting in so much detail around the game. i mean look at the floor. and how the buildings blend in with the pavement. ever played a f**king free roam game that you see the buildings were attached to the ground like some kinda effin lego block.. i love also the pavement how you can see grass grow from the cement on the floor. and the sunsets are unbelievable. i cant wait til gta 5 next year.

[deadeyeselh]

It's ground, not floor mate.

[SuperNumber19]

lol.. you're right my bad.

[deadeyeselh]

:P lol sorry it just annoys me for some reason.

[SuperNumber19]

(XD) no problem i am layed back for being corrected without havign a internet warrior mood swing lol. (^_^)

applefan81 yea its normal getting hot specialy when ur playing games or converting videos i have the hp hdx16 with the gt 130m it reaches abt 75deg when im playing gta iv or crysis, and for those who have a gt 130m or a 9600m gt those gpu's r made to play games with high texture so in gta just put the texture on high nd the texture filltering on high ull c tht it runs with better framerates

[booy6451]

i have this laptop. My laptop runs gta 4 on med-high settings. I don't remember exactly. Gets about 40 fps in buildings. 30-35 when outside. And in police chases, rain or fog, i get about 20-25

[ercg25]

i also have a hdx18 and it happens the same to me

[ThumbWarDestroyer]

the only major flaw is that the graphics card in the 18t is still not quite up to par with the rest of the system. Quad core is great but when you're talking about very modern high end games with powerful graphical requirements, the graphics card is more important.

[XProffrinkX]

if yo ubuy it custom you can get a 1gb nividis most things guite well. crysis runs with an ok framerate on med-high settings so its pretty good

[deadeyeselh]

That music is pretty jammin :)

[davorjan]

Hey any1 know if i can run the game on a HP Probook 4515s

[BBoyT94]

even i have the hp hdx 18 1080el....:D....but it's not worth playing gta IV on low settings....that's why i bought it for my PS3

[N1NJO3]

asus g50vt can kick this laptop's ass with its performance and price... It has then Nvidia Geforce 9800M GT, which is WAY better than the 9600.

But for being a HP, it quite good...

[BBoyT94]

man if u have such a power gaming pc why r you playing on low settings??

[SWAGTUT]

its not a power gaming pc its a mid power one

[applefan81]

i have a question, personaly i have a hp hdx intel core 2 quad 4 gig of ram 500 HD and nvidia 512 GDDR 3

the laptop is great but i have a problem with the heat, the cumputer i s HOT my average is about 50 to 55 degeee on ideal and sometimes 65 degree when i create some video so i jsut want to know if its normale or not and if you had the same problem

thnaks a lot

[wwwgeekdotcom]

very weird. is anything blocking your vent?

[applefan81]

hi i jsut made some research and it told me that i was normal for the quad version is normal but i elevated a lilltle bit with a stand and the temp dropped of 5 degree sometime a got 39

so i don't know if you have to same as mine but can you tell me the temp of your on idel and when you play game thanks

[FlawdaKing]

should i get the

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme Mobile Processor QX9300 (2.53Ghz, 12MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) with the 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 130M - For DDR3 Memory im gettin this same hp plz help!

[seauryakumar]

which model???????????

[mad0uche]

I recommend the quad core because that is what I am getting, ddr3 is for gaming which i also recommend

[XProffrinkX]

if yo uare getting a high end core like that, make sure yo uhave at least 6gb DDR3 ram or it wont function t oits full potential :D

[cantuse357]

Just ordered the qx9300, 8gb ddr3, gt 130m version of this laptop... interested to see how it will perform on GTAIV

[jaju123456]

130m is really bad tho

[wwwgeekdotcom]

130m is bad? what would you recommend?

[jaju123456]

its better than the rest I made a mistake :) sorry. Beats 9600m gt

[wwwgeekdotcom]

yup, good call. The 130m is a nice upgrade for the HDX

[N1NJO3]

9800M GT is way better! Google the ASUS G50vt and youll see many people running Crysis on it, also... The price is unbeatable, Only $900.00

[eemv926]

god i want that laptop, im getting it but the 16 inch one and when windows 7 comes out

[noorul85]

me too

[dzhonkz]

can you post the full specs of this laptop?

[wwwgeekdotcom]

HDX18 - 1001xx, Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA 9600M GT 512MB graphics, wireless N, and dual 320GB hard drives. Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Blu-ray. HDTV tuner, and two remote controls, $1878 (after a $200 instant rebate).

[Emotionengne]

how does it support 4gb ram on 32bit operating system?

[Ra1Va]

you have 4GB of RAM with a 32 bit edition of vista??  you need a 64bit vista to use more than 3gb of ram

[wwwgeekdotcom]

maybe he is going to upgrade to 64bit soon. or maybe he uses a Physical Address Extension

[nwrob12]

you should have gotten the NVIDA GeForce GT 130M video card in this..if i were already paying this much i definitely would put the extra 100 into i to get it all maxed out. cant wait till i get one if these.

[wwwgeekdotcom]

the 130M is a new option and was not available at the time. that said, it is definitely worth the money. no question- do this upgrade!

[gamerfreax]

can you post a video, on how this laptop run far cry 2? Nice video. looking forward for this laptop.

[wwwgeekdotcom]

Sorry, don't have that one any more =[
