Processor: AMD fx-8320 Eight-core processor

 

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

 

RAM: 16 gb

 

Windows 10

 

and some other decent components

 

Not an absolute monster compared to some peoples standards, but still a beast. Not much I can't do with it. I can run most new games on high settings.

GPU: HD 7950 (which is essentially a R9 280)

CPU: i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz

RAM: 16 GB (4x4) @ 1333MHz

SSD: 80 GB

Monitor: XL2411Z @ 144Hz

 

Those are the important specs  ^_^

Just got a new laptop :) It's an MSI GS43VR

 

5dwzKD6.jpg

 

Specs:

 

Core i7 6700HQ

GTX 1060 desktop-class GPU

16GB RAM

128GB SSD, 1TB HDD (I have a 500gb 850 Evo SSD that I might replace the HDD with)

14 inch, 1080p IPS display

 

Overall this is a pretty great laptop for the price I got it for. The gaming performance is phenomenal for being such a small laptop, thanks to the Pascal GPU. I've been playing GTA V at a nice mix of very high-ultra settings (completely maxing out the game tanks the FPS on any system without much visual gain) and it runs at a solid 60FPS. Temperatures are also pretty reasonable, with enough headroom for some GPU overclockable with the fans ramped up all the way. It's loud while gaming of course, but that's nothing wearing headphones won't solve.

 

Unfortunately, there's a pretty big issue that causes stuttering during everyday use. Nvidia Optimus is a feature that disables the Nvidia GPU during basic tasks to save power, but it constantly switches on and off, and when it does things freeze for a second. Apparently this is a pretty common issue with this laptop and there's no real fix yet, but it should be fixable in a software update. If it isn't fixed soon however, I may end up returning the laptop because this stuttering is very annoying :(

Welp...

 

Intel Core-i3 3220

Some Biostar H61 motherboard

4GBs of RAM

Nvidia GeForce GT 610 2GB (that VRAM count may get you thinking it's a fast GPU, but, well, it's probably only barely edging out the integrated GPU in my CPU. :v )

500GB Toshiba HDD

 

And a mouse, keyboard, and a 768p monitor, if that surprises you. :nom:

I did have 4GB of RAM (which was what my iMac came with) but my boyfriend of awesomeness upgraded it to 8GB for me on Thursday :D I probably could have done it myself but I was scared I'd somehow mess something up.
