    Hey guys, I just recently purchased a MSI GE APACHE 2 notebook.

    It is a decent mid-range gaming laptop. Comes equipped with an i7 4700Q, 12gb ram, and the aforementioned gpu.

    I was just wondering what the gpu is comparable to in terms of a dekstop GPU.

    My old GTX 660TI paired up with an i5 3570K seemed quite bit more stable and higher in fps in Source based games such as TF2 L4D2 etc.

    Thanks!

    It is roughly equivalent to a 750 Ti or 650 Ti Boost, a bit slower because of the reduced clock speeds. It won't touch a 660 Ti.
