    I was looking to buy this laptop ( Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P 1080p i5 4200M 6GB 1TB 8GB Dual GT750M SLI Gaming Laptop PC | eBay).

    It's a Lenovo y510p with dual Nvidia GT 750M SLI. I've read that the GPU is great, especially for the money, but I've also read about stuttering problems when playing games, because of the SLI. This makes me wary of buying this over a laptop with a less powerful, but single, non-SLI GPU (Like a 750M, 755M, 650M, or 740M).

    Does anyone know if these stuttering problems are real? Has anyone experienced them while using this laptop or another with SLI? Would I be better off getting something with a less powerful, single GPU?

    Thanks.

    People wound not talk about stutter if its not real. Some games dosnt support SLI and others stutter, ur lucky if everything works fine. Thats my experience so i would recommend a strong single GPU. What other options do you have?
