  • Can this run star wars the old republic in med/high?

  • @Foakley19

    I honestly don't know and you do realize after watching the video that this version of the laptop is way out of date. The newer versions of this lappy are much better. Not to many pay attention on this video for the computer specs so just making sure you saw that it's running a not so hot video card to todays standards.

  • @streetridaz k thanks i did notice but i thought the new one might be able to but i found a good laptop that ill probably get

  • @Foakley19

    Good luck.....I do believe mine would run it but i don't know. I don't game on this lappy.....I have a fat gaming rig i build last year.....Multi-monitor eyefinity rig. Check videos if you want. This video got so popular back in the day that I get so many comments about the newer versions of this lappy that I really don't even know the hardware specs of the newer ones but this one with a 130gt did very well so the newer ones must do great.

  • Hi can you do online games on this Laptop?

  • will i be able to run portal 2 and team fortress 2 on this?

  • You realize that this lappy is 2 years old. I was getting a solid 30-40fps online with cod4 any current version of this lappy will do better then mine did with the Gt130m

  • im thinking strongly of getting this laptop for gaming. did it run crysis smooth and with decent graphics? also whats the max fps you can get online in cod4?? and if you do not know would you PLEASE check if you still have this laptop and cod4? thankyou !!

  • @HRStudiosUK i almost always hit nvidia up. just better

  • how would a 4250HD compare to a 130m?

  • hey why dont you do a video of the laptop with you playing it

  • Hi i ve got the same acer as you differences are in our graphics cards mine is gt240m and RAM i ve got 4gb ddr2. My problem is that i have l really lower FPS than you in all games you are playing in this video. Is possible that gt240m too worse or is that in those RAM memories ?? Do you know any reason why is happening that? :// sorry for poor englisch

  • @joker226226226

    Most people had problems with the GT240m when it first came out because the drivers were terrible. That and windows 7. I don't know. ddr2 ram shouldn't make much difference if any really. I don't know why you have ddr2 i think you must have ddr3 ram at 1066mhz but maybe not. Either way I would say just make sure your not running a ton of background services and clean up your computer and try updating your graphics drivers.

  • @streetridaz No i have ddr2, dont worry i know. Also i have always set on the turbo mode in tune up (if you know it and i dont know better program for cleaning and keeping my system ). Only one program is running on my back and thats just the tune up nothing else. I tried set it off but nothing changed. So i suppose thats in that GPU. 130 is better than 240 about 10 - 15 %. What about overclocking has it sense??

  • @joker226226226

    No the 240 is a better card then the 130. Very small amount though. I don't have a clue why your laptop has ddr2 if you have a Aspire 5739g. Sounds more like your using a Packard or something. Anyway. I don't overclock laptops. They aren't meant to handle heat increases like that. I only overclock my desktop gaming rig because I have contol over then temps in there.Check graphics drivers if they are under 186.26 then thats probably your problem

  • lol i can hear your playing some facebook game in the 1st part

  • Laptop's great for gaming, but I have a bitch time running GTA IV and Black Ops with decent frames (15-25 fps). What drivers/settings work best for this? OC Settings? ( 2.2 ghz C2D/GT 130m model)

  • Is the new acer aspire ethos 8943g with i7 better than yours ? :)

  • could i play on 5738g black ops

  • @gttcthebest

    You might be able too. The graphics card that comes in that lappy I believe is a G105m. It's a little on the weak side but maybe if you put all the settings on low at 1024x768 you might be able to run it decent.

  • @gttcthebest

    I am playing Black Ops on my 5739g. But i have highest version with gt240m and p7450 dual core with 4gb ddr3 :).

    I am playing on full detail.

  • i have a 5739g too but with a nvidia gt240m and intel core 2 duo p7450(at 2.13 ghz)

    5739g rocks

  • COD 4- best ever!!!

  • @Alexander25C

    It's all about OPS baby! I would have to say Black Ops is now my favorite. I liked COD-4 better then MW2 and WAW but Black Ops is sick! LOL

  • I don't evern really remember now. I believe I was getting 45 while recording and like 70 when not.

  • How many fps are you getting on cod4. Please help me. this is extreamly important.

    Thank you

  • How many fps are you getting on cod4. Please help me. this is extreamly important.

    Thank you

  • is this stronger

    Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 ( Dual-Core )

    L2 Cache

    RAM 4 GB

    ATI Momility Radeon HD 4570

    video card 1 gb

  • @13gamefan

    The graphics card shows in benchmark tests to be considerably slower. So I would say no. The Nvidia Geforce GT 130m scored a 5154 in 3dmark06.The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 scored a 3358 in 3dmark06. So no. Everything is the same but the ATI is a weaker card.

  • does it play the games alright, i mean it doesnt damage the laptop then?

    cos when i bought my ACER ASPIRE 5732Z the guy in the shop said it wasnt good for gaming.

  • @scihizium

    LOL, you see the video don't you. Thats this laptop playing games. No it doesn't damage the laptop to play games. The guy at the shop told you that the Acer Aspire 5732Z doesn't play games good because it doesn't. It' not ment to play games. It has not dedicated graphics card. This video isn't of a 5732Z its a 5739G. This lappy was made with playing games in mind. The 5732Z wasn't.

  • how much?

  • @linkpower333

    this is the previous model to the newer version of this lappy. It now has a slightly better video card with win 7 but it cost about $700

  • well looks like people like my video. I keep finding it being embedded into notebook review websites as a benchmarking video. LOL

  • this is the laptop I have my mind on buying. will it work good with high rendering games like starwars the old republic MMO? I hear the intel core duo ship works good with games.

  • does acer aspire 5741G run it aswell? plz answer

  • @PhantomLnk

    I don't think so the only versions of the 5741 i can find specs on are budget laptops. They have small processors and no dedicated graphics cards. So no not a good gaming laptop.

  • not bad man

  • how much does it cost?

    

  • wow.....I run Vista.....But if your having problems with COD.....that sucks. It's like one of the most optimized games there is. lol Have you tried cleaning your registry. Get "CCleaner" and scan the reg. What Geforce drivers are you using? If your anything above 186.xx then your drivers should be o.k. are you running Win7?

  • If you call that fps being hurt then my computer must be one laggy motherfucker

    I'm getting this Model of laptop soon so can you give me any advice? I've heard some people have problems with the windows 7 version

  • Far Cry 2 is one of the best games with fire!

  • Have you ever had ANY problems with this pc?

    Thinking of buying it, for tf2, and such 1st person shooter games.

  • @bl00dyspIE

    never but mine is the older one so i hear a lot of people are having problems with the newer version with win 7 and the gt 240m

  • @streetridaz Ok, thanks alot

  • @streetridaz serious?! D: i was ALMOST gonan buy it.. how do i know if its new or old version o.o ehhh

    and what sort of problems? o.o

  • any pc that can run fallout 3 and crysis is a pc worth buying

  • @elementskateboards9

    true dat! LOL

  • I have the one with the GT 240M graphics card and my games (unreal 3) don't run anywhere near that smooth even at medium settings. I have it set to defrag every weds and don't really have many system hogging programs running.

  • @Z2theONA

    has to either be drivers or windows 7 So many people have trouble with this lappy it amazes me. Mine runs flawlessly and plays game with the best of them.

  • @streetridaz are u running vista or 7? Ive got a 5935g with a similar spec 4gb ram,. geforce 1gb and COD MW2 runs slow as shit? any tips on how i can make it better?

  • @flipskater032 have you updated your drivers? and directx etc?

  • @flipskater032

    lol that sucks i can play on high at about 25fps

  • In Crysis you use shaders quality on high or medium?Average fps on new drivers?Thanks.Very good Geforce GT 130m.

  • Average fps on cod4?Nice.

  • @daniel1232114

    without fraps i believe it was 45fps - 50fps

  • Hi! I have a similar Acer notebook (Aspire 5935G-744G50MN). This laptop has a hybrid GPUs (Integrated Mobile Intel VGA + similar Nvidia GF GT130m 1GB). Your laptop have similar hybrid technology too? I ask them, because not easy to install the nvidia driver in the hybrid laptop. You have to download a modded .inf file for your driver from the laptopvideo2go, but for the 197.16 driver not released yet. How you installed the 197.16 driver? At now, I using the original 187.45 from the Acer Support.

  • @KerozinJoe

    You don't have to use the modded acer video drivers. I just went to nivida and downloaded the lastest drivers and damn they work nice! I used to be locked out of nvidia when downloading drivers from there it won't let me install the updated ones and then one day it let me and i've been using regular gf drivers since. lol

  • @streetridaz

    What is your bios version? If is it possible, when you update to the newest bios, and after than, the original nvidia drivers installed correctly? Your machine is hybrid, too?

  • Yo. how reliable is this laptop? was thinkin ogf gettn it but some peopl say it aint reliable. Thanks man

  • @wooohoo92

    I don't know mine isn't sold any more mine is the version from like a year ago. Mine seems to be really good. The newer ones seem to be having problems.

  • Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit?Thanks.

  • Man, i need serious advice please..

    •Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2 GHz

    Good for gaming yes no ? its a laptop ;)

  • @fussi90

    Bro that is like the exactly same laptop I have that these videos are being played on. Upgrade your geforce drivers to 197.16 and go for it.

  • @streetridaz

    aight dude thanks !

    looks like this GPU can handle some mean stuff :D

  • Geforce ddr2 or 3?thanks.

  • @THEBEEGEES1978

    Not that I don't love you constantly spamming me with the same questions but your right. I was thinking of the benchmark from my desktop. On my laptop i re-did the benchmark and I'm getting an average of 28 fps. Sorry for the run around. I just always do the tests on my desktop too and I'm getting well over 35 fps on ultra on my desktop. So yes I'm not getting 35 fps on my lappy.

  • Ok friend, thanks for the help.

  • nice vid btw

  • far cry 2 35 fps in all situations?all settings in ultra high?sometimes have fps drops? Thanks friend.

  • @THEBEEGEES1978

    The lowest I have ever seen it drop was 28fps farcry 2 is really well optimized. Sorry bro your doing something wrong. I don't know what to tell you. Are you playing at the same resolution i'm playing at. 1366x768 or do you have a better screen on your lappy. That is the only other thing I can think of.

  • overclocks?

  • @THEBEEGEES1978

    lol no its just to dangerous to overclock laptops. They are designed for a specific heat and to raise temp is just asking to warp your board. No my is stock. All I can say is run your games in dx9 mode and keep your memory and cpu footprint low. clean your system and defrag to make sure you file system is running good. Otherwise i haven't a clue why people aren't getting the same numbers i am. my games run so smooth.

  • far cry 2 35 fps in all situations?all settings in ultra high?sometimes have fps drops?

  • And the fps in Need Shift.

  • @THEBEEGEES1978

    I'm getting over 35fps with far cry 2 and 25fps with shift and borderlands. I've also just uploaded a battlefield Bad Company 2 video and i'm getting over 30 fps on that.

  • What is your fps in Far Cry 2?

  • My memory is free and the games having a bad performance with your performance.Help.Thanks.

  • @THEBEEGEES1978

    don't know what to tell you. Sounds like junk to me

  • No updates and programs are running.

  • My notebook

    Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53ghz

    Geforce 130m 1GB DDR2

    Driver:186.81

    4 GB Ram ddr3 1066

    Tested on Windows:Seven, Vista and XP 64.Help please.

  • The only thing I can think of is those of you having problems are running a bunch of shitty programs in the background that are effecting your performance. Shit like mcafee, incrdimail and update software and hp, acer bloatware.

  • I get 20-40 fps in call of duty 5 and 15-25 on Far Cry 2 and you 35.Why?

  • Geforce DDR 2 OR 3?

  • @THEBEEGEES1978

    it uses both.

  • Geforce DDR 2 OR DDR3?

  • I have this laptop but i dont know if its a proper gaming laptop-is it?

  • @Seanog24

    Did you not see the videos. lol

  • @streetridaz i did ya but like WTF GTA IV runs jerkily

  • whats better for gaming? 512mb DDR3 or 1GB DDR2?

  • @sacredleafs

    my experience is the onboard video ram isn't as important as the actually speeds of the gpu.

  • whats better for gaming? 512mb DDR3 or 1GB DDR2?

  • @sacredleafs undoubtedly 512 DDR3.

  • more details notebookcheck , net

  • I have Aspire 5925G laptop

    Intel core 2 duo T6600 2.2GHz, 800mhz FSB

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 1.7gb graphics card

    3GB DDR3 RAM

    and a 320gb HDD

    Im not very good with technical terms but i was wondering if this laptop is good enough to play the games you have listed. Ive tested crysis on it but it was the demo. I could play on Medium at 30+ fps and high with 15 fps. Also could you give me any recommendations as in what games to buy? Thanks

  • @LambentTurkey

    yeah it will work fine.

  • where did you buy it from?

  • Very powerful laptop! I had mines for about a year now and still no problems for me!

  • i've added a link to the drivers I use for vista 64 and win 7 64 in the video captions and the info. Please check it out and post your results.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a Nvidia GT 240M gpu with Nvidia 187.71 drivers. Is this any good??

    Or is urs better??

  • don't know i've never used that driver.

  • what teh fuck I have the same graphic card, prosessor, and every thing but I cant play fallout 3 in highes!

  • are you on a windows 7 machine? the Window7 and the hardware aren't working very well together. With VIsta 64 premium and geforece 186.xx drivers this lappy is very fluient in games.

  • I just got L4D1 too and i'm playing that at 1366x768 complete maxed out at 16aa and 16af at 39 fps.

  • No, I use Vista 64 premium. I just dont get what the geforece 186.xx drivers is.

  • its the software that tells your graphics card how to use the hardware. Drivers can make the biggest difference in the world. My lappy when i first got it was on 179.xx drivers and I couldn't even play crysis on medium. Then I got 186.81 drivers and i can play nicely on high. I haven't ever updated since because these drivers are so optimized.

  • I added link to drivers in the video

  • goes world of warcraft wotlk with high settings ? on this notebook ?

  • It does , i tested , it but my laptop was defect was causing crashes and i replaced it with a toshiba satelite with a ati radeon hd 4650 and i5 proccesor wich are better at same price

  • lol i shoulda watched the vid before commenting, the vid kinda tells you all you need to no that its fine lol , good vid nice one man

  • hi im lookin at this laptop im also looking at another one with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 does anyone no which is better ? thanks

  • try Toshiba satelite L505, with i5 procesor, and ati hd 4650 or the 5165 one

  • This one is arround 70% more better than ati 4570, ati 4650 is 20% better than 130m

  • I bought it 3 days ago and it' s shit, crashind randomly while on movies or even when i copy things, and every fling time i log into world of warcrat. P7450, gf240m, piece of acer crap, i think hardware isnt compatible, tryed on win xpx64 too still same even whorst

  • damn that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you got a lemon

  • Are you fo real ? I've used it since september, and it's awesome ! 4gb RAM . The ultimate laptop :)! I've downloaded Win7 Ultimate now so it's even faster !

  • yes, after 1 week of doing all that coulkd be done to repair it, i couldnt, and folowed experts software advices, i've took it back and changed it for a Toshiba Sattelite L505, Intel i5 cpu m 430 (score 2500, the p7450 had a score of 1500) , same 4 gb ddr3, ati radeon HD 5165 ( benchmark score 13500, the nvidia 240m had arround 12500) and all at same price :)

  • Wow, nice though ...

  • This laptop is awesome! Its THE perfect affortable gaming laptop!

  • thanks for the video, really helped, buying it saturday, from about 30 laptops to chose with a 1000 euro budget i stoped on this baby then i googled it and saw your video. ty again

  • Could you run modern warfare 2 and gta iv on this laptop and record it?

    And if so what settings?

  • I've got the laptop now for 4 days, I installed GTA 4 and it runs very smooth on the highest settings!

  • Thank you for uploading this video, I've just bought me a 5739-87G50mn, 2,53ghz 500GB. So its a bit quicker then yours ;) I'm glad to know that my laptop will easily run these games.

  • So to conclude. Acer repair are crap, the company is very very unhelpful and won't offer me a refund, replacement of even a temp. laptop till they can figure out how to fix it. There not nice people. Totally screwed over lol.

  • when you get your laptops, if your buying them, be careful and make sur eits working. I got this back in November 2009, and it started to hang up everytime any type of media was used including games. It would crash after about 30 seconds of loading the media. I sent it in 3 times and they sent it back each time claiming it was fixed.. it wasnt... im sending it off for a fourth time now. FYI im not the only one with this problem. Search google for aspire 5739g freeze.

  • Thanks for the video. I wasn't expecting so much power from these specs, now I have an idea. Thanks.

  • Oh my!

    ill get an aspire 5739g soon with a gt240m and p7450(very similar to t6500 in performance) and i didnt even know this laptop is performing so well!

    i cant wait for it, thx 4 the review! one question: is it win vista 32bit or 64bit? to all others: is there any performance difference between vista and win7

  • Like the descripiton says in the video it is 64bit vista. I haven't noticed any difference between win7 and vista on my desktops other then somemore pretties added in win7. the small footprint is crap. were talking like 100-200 mb's at most. Other then that right now a lot of driver problems and software that isn't compatible.

  • @GreyHunter49 Windows 7 boots faster and has some really neat features. It has the speed of Windows XP with all the positive aspects of Vista, plus a variety of fresh features. Try to get a 64bit OS since it handles data better than a 32bit. 64bit was formerly exclusive for server use only, now its commercially available to the public.

  • i have the acer 5739g with intel core 2 P8700,nvidia geforce gt240m 1024mb,500gb HDD,blu ray rom and 4gb ddr3 ram

  • can i played a 3d games in this laptop

    o i need to download a program for that ?

    cisco

  • what do you think bro.

  • i do not that's why am asking

  • Thanks for this video =D

  • i have the acer aspire 5738g-6335 with a ati mobility radeon hd 4570, i guess thats better than yours, maybe not, and a intel core 2 duo t6600 @ 2.2GHz, and i can only run crysis at 10FPS with the settings you gave??? i have to go all medium to get a playable FPS (13-22FPS)

  • sounds like what I was getting before I updated the the 186.81 nvidia drivers. Have you tried updating your ATI drivers? also run it in dx9 mode.

  • ok so i checked the driver version (under device manager) and it is 8.670 and the divers on the acer website (i tried going to the ati website and it said to go there) and picked my laptop, and the right driver and the version was 8.632, should i roll back???

  • great i got 5738g-6335, maybe ill make a video on crysis with those settings

  • GT130m  ddr2 or ddr3???

  • both

  • incredible, tomorrow i will have my new laptop with gt 240m :D i can't wait for it... this video is so hot =)

  • Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Wish I had a video like this when i bought my laptop. I went blind. lol

  • hows the cooling system, how long does it reamain cool while playing? and wht average fps did u have at crysis?

  • I'm averaging 20-25 on crysis with the settings I'm playing at.

  • @streetridaz with fraps?

  • 17-22 with fraps

  • i must ad this question to all you other people who have this laptop do you hear noise from the speakers/headset when you don't listen to anything...just random noise (hard to explain)

  • no never

  • i read your comments and rolled back to 186.91 drivers from my 195.62 and did a before and after test with gothic 3 (very high settings) fps at the tutorial battle was 18-27 and after i rolled back 21-31 not a huge increase in my opinion could you test with your machines and tell me if there is a difference between other 186.xx drivers (btw .91 messed my saturation) i have the gt 240M version

  • If The Sound Is Bad, Why Dont you but a DAM Headset into the Laptop!!??

  • I cant understand paying less than $1000 for a laptop. The 240m only gets ~23 fps on medium settings for Risen(a game used for rpg comparison), according to Notebookcheck. So you are already stuck playing at low settings with a new laptop!

  • hey i got a Acer America

    Acer Aspire AS5739G-6959 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T6600(2.20GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR3 1066 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M (its actually a 240m!!!)

    the only dam thing i hate bout this laptop is the freaking SOUND

    and if you are going to send it back because of the sound; dont bother because they didnt do shit when i send mine back for a replacement.

    Newegg sucks =(

  • that sucks the sound on the 5739-6132 is awesome.

  • I am thinking of buying one of these. i have read some reviews and they have said that it can be noisy when idleing or playing a game. what do you think?

  • Buy it. If the only thing the critics have to say is '' it's noisy'' then all the other things about the pc is perfect. I am also going to buy one of these next week!

  • lol the are anything but noisy. Are we talking about the same laptop because i have never once see a review about my laptop saying it's noisy.

  • i just replyed to milestube9. He read a review and so on...

  • The newer version of this is $699 right now at newegg, which has 2.2Ghzs and 320GB HD. Too bad i bought this one.

  • dude if you thought like that you would never buy a new computer because a better one for cheaper will always be spread out by a month or two. lol

  • I cant help it. Its just human nature, i guess.

  • @akbisw The newer version is going for $649.99 at Newegg!!! Im gonna get it soon!

  • This video was very helpfull because it helped me to take the dessision to buy this pc.

  • Where did you get the drivers? and thanks for that vid

  • acer support drivers.

  • I got one slightly different

  • for my specific laptop they have reverted back to the 179.xx something drivers and they are crap. I have the 186.xx something drivers and they work so much better then the 179.xx version.

  • thanks for this video!!!

    :-)

  • Your very welcome! I wish i had this video when I was looking into this lappy! lol

  • Can this Laptop run GTA4/

  • yeah high settings at 1366x768 2aa is what i was running it at.

  • I have the exact same laptop, you have do I need the drivers you reccomend, thanks for the help, wanting to find a good priced gaming laptop for years

  • for sure if you want way better performance in games. lol

  • I'm going to buy this pc. Looks like a good gaming laptop. Do you think it can run left 4 dead 2 on high graphics...?

  • I don't have much experience with left 4 dead series. I'm thinking yes but not having played it before and knowing how envolved the effects are I can't say for sure.

  • ok, thanks!

  • how can u get high water details in red alert 3? i have a gt130m in my laptop as well but theres no way for that ...

    and what means "maxed out" for cod4? cause i think its impossible to max AntiAliasing out with gt130m

  • I have it completely maxed out. I don't understand why you guys have problems. Like I said below .............If your using the 186.xx something nvidia drivers then you should be getting much better fps on games. Also Red Alert 3 I have no problem getting high water detail. I don't know why yours isn't. Seems to me everyone that is using a gt 130m is still using 179.xx something nvidia drivers which will for sure drop your performance on the gt 130m a ton. Update your drivers. What are ur specs?

  • i have the newest driver available (195.62). my system is a Packard Bell Lj65 with win vista 32bit, core2duo P8600 @2,4Ghz, 4GB ram and gt130m. the graphic options in the nvidia control panel are optimized for highest performance
