Maybe the first thing you could do is get a proper driving course so you dont crash every week or so then you might think about making your car ricier.

Then all I can say is look at the following list and buy whatever you can afford. The mobility video cards are numbered similar to desktop cards, but obviously they don't offer as much performance, so just get an geforce 9600 or 9800, or Radeon 3870.

I saw this exact same website the other day. But is it like IMPOSSIBLE to get a laptop GPU from the Net or what? I can't find a place with prices...

Or instead of the equivalent of a 7600GT... What are the mid-class GPUs available for laptops? I would like something under 200$ preferably.

Well look, the laptop I'm getting is something like 900 bucks I dont want to pay half of this for a GPU eh. And yes I did see it before, just too much $$$ for me.

Hi,

Well I'm soon to buy a new computer but since it will be a laptop I has a OEM integrated GPU. The shops where I buy it can install an aftermarket GPU without voiding the warranty so I'm looking to get one. The laptop wont see anything else than LFS and my 7600GT works great with LFS at 1024x768 with everything to the top. I would like to know, what GFX from either Nvidia or ATi will give me similar preformances on a laptop?

Thanks in advance!

Also, I wanted to get the ubber 9800M GTX but at 500$ it's too expensive for me.

LFS is kinda like a milf. Because it's aging doesn't mean it's not good anymore.

:ices_rofl nice hah if it was a racing shoe it will have nothing but a shoe :ices_rofl

Holy 2 years bump Batman.

Hmm, I like that new icon on the forum...

Yea I know that's exactly why I want the 9800M.

I heard the shop I want to order from accredited by Toshiba so they can open the laptops and mess with them without voiding your warranty. Plus they offer a laptop similar to the one I posted upper with a 9600M for about 400$ more. It also have bluthooth and a lot of other craps that I wouldnt use tho.

Not really, but I'll still be paying 1000$ for that, why not put 100-200-300$ more and get a decent GPU.

Apart for the GPU thingie, does the rest of this laptop sound decent?

The link Mutt sent me directing to Best Buy wont work. They only seem to deliver in the USA and when I go to www.bestbuy.ca they dont got the same PC as on the American website. I found a few other computers at a local shop. Here's one in which I'm interested:

Toshiba

INTEL CORE2 DUO T6400 (2,0 GHZ)
15,4'' LCD MONITOR
INTEGRATED 4500M GRAPHICS CARD
4GB DDR2 800MHZ
320 GIG SATA 5400RPM HDD
DVD-RW READER / BURNER
VISTA HOME PREMIUM 64 BITS

889$

I think it's quite a good improvement over my present desktop:

AMD ATHLON64 (2,4 GHZ)
17'' CTR MONITOR
NVIDIA 7600GT GRAPHICS CARD
2GB DDR2 667MHZ
160 GIG SATA 5400RPM HDD
DVD-RW READER / BURNER
XP HOME HOME 32 BITS

I'll try to see if they can change the integrated crap for a 9800M but otherwise the price sounds interesting. It also has a 3 years warranty with it so I'm pretty sure I will go with this laptop.

Opinions?

Quote from s2knott :

I have the 911 wheel, after 10 days it broke and im waiting on a new one, right now im seriously considering selling it and getting a g25.

only things that really stop me, is the way the wheel looks, the nice grip, having less wires, actually, now that i am typing it all down it doesnt seem like much, i feel like ive always regretted getting the 911, and originally the decision was made on the shifter, i thought the g25 shifter was so crappy, but it looks amazing (and now that you can modify it...), anyways, is it worth it to sell my 911 and get a g25? i hate having a wire mess and thats about the only thing keeping me from doing it.

and also, all i play is LFS and the 911 seems to have a problem with that (who knows maybe just a bad wheel) but if i have the same problem with this new wheel i will sell it.

I drift with the rb4 cause im a noob (80% power to the rear) and when drifting in cirlcles (something i like doing and i was doing it to get used to the wheel) the force feedback would kick in the wrong direction and try to rip the wheel from my hand during a nice smooth drift when the car wanted to understeer abit, this caused the motor to burn up and nearly catch on fire.... lets hope that doesnt happen again.

And im strickly trying to get the opinion of people who have used each wheel, because i know you die hard g25 fans are just waiting to scream that your wheel is the best.

Your FFB is clearly too hard. My Logitech Momo would do this too at first because it was not set the right way. Now it has strong FFB but it's still controllable. Anyway you must've been rude as fuck to break it in 10 days.

0.75

Aight.

See gentlemens, it's all about CTRs.

The crusty bits are hiden so will this pass on LFSW?

No, not sarcasm at all. That's true, especially here where I live. When I go to get drunk with my friends, we visit some pubs and we can see lots of 13-14 years old KIDS sitting in there, smoking and drinking. The situation is the same in discos too. They think they're cool and trendy, but they aren't...

You dont do this to be cool either eh?

Go easy on the colour tweakin next time your pics look like GTA III right now.
