GT 555m(M14X) vs GTX 460m (Sager NP8130)??

I would like to have an AW but it seems that Sager have a better gpu, is there too much difference between GT 550M and GTX 460M, for example in games like Black OPS, Medal of Honor, Crysis 2... mostly FPS. i dont care about the extra RAM for games 6 Gb its enough and the screen... i prefere the lights!!!
So differences like benchmarks... in games or reference (ur experience)
Thank u.

 

The 555m with a small overclock has the same benchmarks as the GTX 460m

 

Nice! but i dont know how to overclock xD...well i supossed i can learn that!

 

No doubt. GTX460M is powerful.

 

A little good overclock maybe, then the vc would get hotter and make the cpu decrase the TB maybe afecting performance or not (wait tilll someone has it, thas what I am doing), plus the 555 will push a 720p res and the 460a full hd, so no compare IMO... but still the GT555 is more than enouth for a 720p IMO...

 

If you're already okay with the size bump to 15.6" go for the Sager NP8150 instead of the NP8130 or M14x.

 

If your trying to talk yourself out of the Alienware it means you dont really want it... Good Luck and Let us know how the Sager works out.

 

GTX 460 is stronger

 

I still haven't seen sufficient evidence, to say that an OC'd 555M equals the GTX 460M. Just looking at the technical specs, it seems improbable.

 

if you dont know how to OC dont go with sager.

if your laptop breaks, do you plan on fixing it yourself or relying on AW 1 day repair?
do you like good cooling?
do you ever want to carry your laptop to class?
do you like decent resale value?
will you actually use the keyboard
these (plus lights) are things to consider, and as a former sager owner i can tell you first hand:
they push out the MOST cutting edge laptops (which gives most of the users on here a woodie), but they are NOT ready for the average consumer. They rush to get the latest and greatest "by the numbers" laptops, at the cheapest price...but you will certainly feel the pinch down the road
crappy build quality
weak (bendy) build materials
often lights will fail
not as good keyboard IMO
and of course often times they arent as "optimized" with the hardware as bigger companies (who thoroughly test their PCs) are...i mean these are both "custom PC" brands, but with AW at least you know a bunch of other people are buying the same computer, so all of its flaws are known and (hopefully) fixed
you know...the little things

and if you ever really get in a pinch and lets say your HDD is failing, you have to wait 2 weeks for the ship to taiwan, and deal with all 7 of their customer reps lol (honestly if you see chris mundy tell him I say "Hi"...b/c he's about half of their work force, and the only one who speaks English fluently)

TL;DR

AW>sager/clevo

so dont just go by the benchmarks...if you only cared about that you'd probably want a desktop, or a MUCH much bigger laptop

 

Thank u for the good answer!! I already order the m14x!!!

 

GTX460M:

192 shaders, 675/1300/625, 192bit GDDR5

GTX555M:

144 shaders, 590/1180/900. 192bit DDR3

At stock the GTX460M has a 39% bandwidth and a 52.5% processing advantage.

Thats how much the 555M would need to be clocked roughly to match the performance.

Now if you take the fact the 460M tends to clock well too into account and its not pretty for the 555M.

 

Exactly, Meaker. it's technically impossible, for the 555M to cover that ground.

Your one bad experience with the M980NU doesn't put a stain on the entire company.

Ask those who have had nightmare experiences with Dell and Alienware. You're way to zealous in your posting habits.

 

Guys - the 460M is kind of a dog these days in terms of mobile GPUs (for those of you who are frame hungry) - so why bother comparing the 555M to it? If you want a 460M, get one - or better yet skip right to the 6970M which blows it away...it's not that much more.

555M is all about balance...Optimus...battery life...decent gaming on the go.

 

the high overclock-ability of 460m is very amazing. If you want good performance, I highly recommend the 460m. 555m is good target for those who satisfied with MEDIUM to HIGH (quality depends on your resolution and game coding). 555m achievable overclock speed performance, as far as I know, is not on par with 460m stock performance ! ! ! ! !

Even with overclock, they are not on the same league.

 

Have You bought a sager?

 

Read his signature. That is a Clevo/Sager model he owns.

 

thats right gaming on the go...so M14X > Sager NP8130
My desktop's gpu is a 6970... and the M14X's gpu is more than enough to start gaming anywhere...

 

Is there any other notebook that offers the gtx 460m in a small form factor as i cannot buy a sager(its not available in india).

 

You can import a Sager from US, Euro or Asian Resellers, however if it ever broke, you'd need to either get the parts mailed to you or ship them the unit itself.

I'm pretty sure Sager is the smallest 460m laptop. I compared the 8130 to a G53 and the 8130 is at least 25% smaller. After owning a G53, G73 and GX740, the 8130 actually felt like a 14" laptop.

Everything else is pretty similar in terms of size (AW, MSI and Asus).

 

Of course for a small increase in size and weight (an inch wider and just a little heavier) you can get a 1080p screen and an HD6970M or GTX485M.

At the same time its also upgradable.

 

I've owned 3 now, but I don't shill for the company.

 

Is there any other brand other than sager/clevo that offers comparable performance with not increasing much size, as i cannot buy sager in india.

 

Asus has a 15.6 inch laptop, G53Sw-XR1 looks pretty powerful, check it out, weights a pretty good amount though (8lbs)

 

Origin is another company that makes high end laptops. I've never used one, so I can't give you any more info than the name.

I can't give you much info on quality. You'll have to look at specs and prices to see what fits your needs, and then maybe ask other people here once you've narrowed it down.

Companies that specialize in gaming laptops:
Alienware
Sager
Origin

The G Series from Asus is a gaming line. I believe HP has some gaming-worthy laptops as well.

Here are two top ten lists for gaming laptops that might give you a place to start:
PCMag
Top Ten Reviews

 

Origin is three old alienware guys who started a company. Its a clevo box no backlit keyvoard and they like og alienware completely overpriced but so powerful

 

MSI GX680R has the 460m in it I believe. I know someone that has one, and it would probably take a chainsaw to get the chit eatin grin off his face. Sound is amazing too.

those MSI laptops are ugly as sin

 

"it looks like some one beat them with the ugly stick"
