I am confused between this model (with 860M GPU) and G750JX-RB71 (770M GPU). I am going to buy one of the two. Which is a better option with reasons?

This is a difficult question to answer - but let me take a shot (a best guess rather than an authoritative recommendation): On the face of it, the G750GM adds a 1TB drive, a 802.11AC card, and retails for less than the G750JX. So your question might be considered as a direct comparison of the GPUs involved. Here is one review of the GPUs (Google the text to find the source): "Although the GTX 860M has much less memory bandwidth and computing power, it can compete with (or sometimes even beat) the old Kepler-based GeForce GTX 770M while drawing significantly less power. Many games of 2013/2014 (Tomb Raider or BioShock Infinite, etc.) can be played fluently in FullHD resolution and very high detail settings. However, very demanding games such as Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 will require lower resolutions and/or details. Despite its considerably higher shader count, the Kepler version is about 10 percent slower, mainly due to the worse bandwidth efficiency." Also: "The 800M series also supports Optimus to automatically switch between an integrated graphics card and the Nvidia GPU." This latter should translate to battery longevity. Another site says: "the GeForce GTX 860M has 640 CUDA cores, 40 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 16 ROPs. At first glance, that would put it well behind the current GTX 760M, which has 768 cores, 64 ROPs, and 16 TMUs. It's further dwarfed by the GTX 770M, which offers a 960:80:24 configuration. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. In 3DMark 11&#8242;s Performance Preset, the GTX 860M reportedly puts up a score of P5339, as compared to the GTX 770M's P5023. (P stands for Performance.)" Good luck with your decision!

It's a GeForce 860m not a GeForce GT 840m. 2 GB. But I'll tell you straight, I can run almost every game on high settings, but the frame rate does suffer. I don't care that much though. BF4 runs Superb on high settings. It's about a Xbox 360 graphics GPU. It's a good computer. I would recommend it.

Well Miranda, according to the comparison here: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/777?vs=854 The GTX 760 here will double your graphics performance. The i7 and RAM shouldn't slow you down, so upgrading your video card is probably your best bet. *EDIT* Also, don't pay over 265$ for this card. The 300$ listing is because someone wants to overcharge while Amazon restocks. The MSRP is 250$. Newegg has them in stock if you're looking to buy and amazon hasn't restocked yet.

Yea. Not only is it four models higher than the 630, it's performance is amazing. I have two, and it is more powerful than a 780 to, but when I had a single one of these, I could run bf3 on almost top settings at 60 fps

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the GTX 780SC, so I can't give an informed opinion on the matter. They are both high-end cards, so if money is a factor I would go with the less expensive card. My GTX 680 Classified is still an awesome card and I have two friends that run them as well. There is nothing that this card won't run at the highest settings.

It has both but reports the integrated 7660G. Games when set to performance using the AMD graphics configuration will use the 7970M. By the way, don't forget to update your drivers.

More because it's OC(overclocked). Don't waste your money the improved 700 series equivalent is coming and it will be similarly priced(I'm personally grabbing the 770 lightning).

I own GTX 670 4GB. It is a really good card. Mainly I'm using 3Ds Max with my computer. So, still I go with 670 because of 4GB Vram.But definitely GTX 770 should be faster than 670. If you are into games GTX 770 outperforms 670. For gaming 2GB will be more than enough.

Yeah ran one one them for about 5 months on a 27" asus and had no problems and its a 144 Hz running two 780s SC now So I would say the 770 SC would do just fine too but, I would go for the 780

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

Difficult question. I've never owned a Toshiba, and most people giving reviews here will likely be biased toward their own machine. I will say that a bit light research indicates: (1) ASUS NVIDIA GPU is later generation than Toshiba's and has an extra Gb of RAM, so you're going to get better graphical performance with ASUS; (2) the difference in i7-4700HQ (Asus) versus i700MQ (Toshiba) is negligible, per CPUBoss.com (slightly higher overclock capacity with Asus, if you're into that kind of thing). For the price difference, it might make sense to take a closer look at Toshiba. That said, this is my second Asus and they've both been amazing machines, so I have no regrets staying with this manufacturer.

I actually have a GTX 770 sitting right here.... I haven't installed it because my Radeon HD8760 has been rock solid. Honestly dont' think i will install the GTX unless something goes horribly wrong with the Radeon.

1-the demand for 8800gt is very high 2- i am not sure about but they are other bran you can buy from or your focus on only xfx? 3-no the 8800gt (512-256mb) or the 8800gts which its 512 mb also does not support directx10.1 but atleast their more powerfull than 3870/3850 for atleast 15-20% .

Can anyone confirm what Derek said with this specific EVGA GTX 660 on Amazon? I'm wondering about this, too. Thanks a lot!

The Gigabyte version is very quiet. Evga is the number 1 seller for a reason though. My choice would be to wait till the 800 series releases.

I am not sure as to what the black version has/had, but I've been playing Batman Arkham City on everything set to Very High with 4x AA minus DX11 options and I've ran the benchmark and it came out to 35fps average which is more than enough for me. Everything is smooth and I've played about 5 games so far on the machine. It might not be the greatest and fastest GPU out there, but for the price it will play new games just fine. Typically I aim for at least 30fps as above that point I can't tell a diffrence and am not willing to pay extra just to say that I am getting 100fps.

GTX 750 is significantly better than the GTS 240, more powerful yet utilizing less power in a compact, cooler and quieter package. A good leap forward in terms of technology. I would absolutely make the jump assuming it is compatible with your OS & PC configuration. To compare, GTX 750 specs here: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750/specifications AND GTS 240 OEM specs here: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gts-240-oem-product/specifications
