Hello people.

I am interested in buying a laptop in 80k range primarily for gaming and general usage.The series i am interested in is the Dell Inspiron n5537 Haswell i7 4500U + amd radeon HD 8850m(ddr3 version)-8gb ram-1TB HDD-1366x768 lcd..The gpu no doubt is in the midrange performance mark and i believe is sufficient for medium high gaming at 1366 x768 or 1600x900 resolutions..The trouble is 4500u is a dual core with 4 threads and i think the cpu will actually bottleneck the gpu
,mabye lower fps in games?.The games nowadays are optimized for quad cores and i have no idea whether the processor would hold its might during gaming or suck big time?Please advise is it a good combo or not..
Dell Inspiron N5537 price in pakistan

I have observed there are no genuine benchmarks for the 8850m over the net.I have browsed through notebookcheck.net and there are no gaming bechmarks as of yet.In terms of performance does the 8850m exceed gt650m? Is it on par with gtx 660m?Is memory bandwidth of 32GB/sec sufficient?I know ddr3 + 128bit bus is a bit turn off but my budget is low and i am alien to gpu science.Do you think 8850m is sufficient?

I have observed AMD mobile lineup is more affordable than its geforce counterparts.This is the best GPU i could find in my price range,the geforce ones are over 1 lakh rupees

SOme1 advised me a lenovo Ideapad y510p..Costs aroung 800 dollars,.By far this laptop is price performance king..3rd gen i7 with gt 750m 2gb GDDR5 :p ..Is it available in pakistan?

According to the notebookcheck.net , the performance of HD 8850m is similar to HD 7750 which is an entry level GPU for gaming. If you are primarily dependent upon laptop for gaming then I think this GPU is not enough to play all latest games on high settings. Do check the gameplay videos on this model on youtube.

The native resolution of Inspiron n5537 is 1366x768. I guess you can play all these games on medium settings with a good number of FPS but I'm not so sure. Wait for the replies from some members which already have this or similar model of GPU in their notebook.

P.S.
If you buy any product from shophive.com try to bargain with them 'cause they always price their products a bit extra.

Point to add that you may not know, the y510p also has a sli configuration ( you can probably find one for $900 if you look really hard or wait for a coupon) and from reading online I hear that you can shift to the SLI after purchaisng a laptop without the SLI. The 2nd card fits into the dvd-rom drive and can be purchase seperately.

But you should first research if parts are available in Pakistan...

Yes the y 510p has an sli config can be upgraded later,but idk considering the current exchange rate ,the laptop would cost around 85k,and i have no idea about shipping costs + import custom duty..It may reach 95k in total which is not feasible for me..Anyway please link the id of the person who can ship this laptop so i can get in contact for a price approximation.

also mobile gpu's are not available in pakistan,they are bought through ebay.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
