ASUS G74SX-A1 gaming laptop gets rated, loves slightly Battleship

The 1982 Lockheed Sea Shadow can be rusting away in Suisun Bay, but its Commie-spooking contours haven’t been forgotten. They apparently inspired the design of the Asus G74SX-A1 , which just won a HotHardware recommendation for its cheese-eschewing looks in addition to its performance, efficient cooling and realistic $1749 price ticket. For once, the Core i7-2360QM CPU coupled with a GeForce GTX 560M and generous 12GB dollop of DDR-1333 RAM actually conspired to surpass the manufacturer’s 3DMark benchmark claims. It wasn’t flawless though: overall computing performance was middling in comparison to rivals; the speakers were shoddy when it came to producing music in place of explosions; and the 17.3-inch Full HD display was slightly wasted on some games that only ran smoothly with high-quality settings at 1280×720. Still, all this naval talk makes us fancy some Silent Hunter 4 — and that are supposed to play just fine. Have a look at source link lurking below for the whole review.

    I purchased this computer about a month ago, and waited to write a review so i could get to know it better. I will say right now, i love this laptop, it can run just about everything with the graphics maxed like a breeze. The only exception to this that i have found is Shattered Horizon which i purchased from steam for $5, now $20. The game is a very intense outer space FPS, so the physics are so advanced and taxing on your processor that i had to stick to normal settings. The game is still absolutely fantastic you really don’t notice a difference in the levels of graphics anyways.
