What is better for cod 4? and gears of war?? Any answer would be highly appreciated. I own both and they seem to be both the same which is annoying because my desktop cant even run gears of war and im afraid it will be the same on this laptop.

 

ur desktop cant run gears of war?? well imm sure the laptop will no worries

 

ya the laptop should perform better...

 

"should" but it doesnt.. been testing a bit a today cod 4 seems to lag it up so can more people confirm this ? thanks highly appreciated.

 

It's the graphics card, the 8600 is severely crippled by the 128-bit memory bus, so high resolutions aren't too friendly to the card.

What resolution are you playing COD4 at?

 

1280 x 1024 .. both on my laptop and reg comp.. lolz. its startin to make me really mad.. whole reason i bought it was so i can have a better cod 4 machine.. but yeah.. so should i return laptop and invest in another or what. PLEASE HELP!

 

wow 128 bit..so i just screwed my self... buying this notebook.. omg. WHAT Should i DO !

 

Return it if you have the chance!

 

how can i return it ? nothing wrong with it ? so please help you have no idea how depressed i am right now.

 

In the US you have a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. Don`t you have that in your country? if not, you should now that the 8600M GT is not that bad actually, it can put quite a performance with some OCing...

 

well i live in canada please help i would be statisfied but not when i paid $1600 bloody dollars on it man. Like $200 cuz of gay shipping so please help me. I am about to cry. Anything i can do ?

 

According to MegaBud (a forum user here), you are protected by Canadian law so you can return anything or something along those lines. You should PM him to see what he means by that as I'm not Canadian so I don't know that stuff.

what exactly i'm i looking for ?? some please resscue me i about to shoot myself i think this is got the be the dumbest mistake of my life too and its not like i didnt do my research i posted many times on the forums gettin advice on which one i should get and people said it would run the game fine and its not. I updated the drivers etc. So please tell me if i can return this because if i can ill find $1200 more and buy an 8800 gtx one SO PLEASE !

 

I have a Sager 2090 and it runs COD4 nearly flawlessly. Don't give up on it yet. Try upgrading your graphics drivers and running other tweaks like the multi-core one on the forums.

 

just tell me how i can return this to sager notebooks company so maybe i can better.... because i am like about to die with this thing right .

my desktop got destroyed by gears of war so i wont even bother installing that on my laptop. Im really depressed i feel really stuipd for buying this laptop because its just not doing what i hoped it would with the specs on paper.

So i just want to return it and maybe get another laptop and spend a bit more i guess.
So can i return this ? i got the laptop yesterday from sager's website and i live in Canada.

Please help btw just wanna thank everyone who has been helping me, this has to be one of the best communited on the net

 

the reason your desktop did not handle Gears of War is because of the CPU... no doubt.

Gears of War is using the Unreal Engine 3 that is very CPU intensive and is fully optimized for multi-cores.

The P4 2.8 is worse than any current dual core... even the low end ones.

As for the site that I gave you,

Look for the Compal IFL-90 (which is what the Sager 2090 is) on the Canadian sites that I gave you, they are very reputable and have competitive pricing.

 

well what about cod 4 and i dont mind tryin gears but seriously can i return it and pay $1600 more and get a better sager note book? would they let me do that?

 

you mean return a Sager??

you can return a Sager within 30-days for a full refund... they have a full satisfaction guarantee.

So if you are unhappy with it for any reason, you can return or replace the unit.

 

are you sure about this ? i bought it off the sager website. do they have the same policy?

 

If your primary goal is to game, then you're better off getting a desktop, unless you need to have a portable computer.

For a 15.4", the NP2090 is a very powerful gaming laptop, there are no 15.4" laptops with a 256-bit graphics card, which means you have to go to 17" notebooks for actual gaming power in a portable package.

 

so i can return this laptop no questions asked within 30 days? because i wanna get the best sager gaming one or convince myself to get $1600 desktop. So can one of you guys confirm that i can return this laptop? like if i can return it i can get the best one because i bought this for 1300+ and plus 1600 more= amazing laptop budget.

 

Only Sager can can confirm that. Give them a call.

 

Sager and it resellers all have the 30 Day No Questions Asked Return Policy. (30 days from ship date) As long as you are within that you should have no problems returning it.

 

i emailed them
