error on editing ps nvidia are better for sl no question on that but since i am not only sl user for 685 euros theres no better laptop for me to buy damn crysis

i hope latest drivers are installed 9.11 9.12 drivers are damn bad for sl i am on 10.4 and crashes are realy rare about the old nvidia cards ((just instaled 10.5 so can't say if they actualy do better or worse)).... i am just to lazy to take my old 7900gs from my brothers computer

i own a desktop pc with 4830 overcloacked abit @675mhz....anyway not the matter at the momment ati cards are smooth on video games but ...sl is a bit of a headache after 7.11 ati changed the aproach to opengl and thing got bad for the combination of ati+sl so preaty mutch the problem was that sl couldn't recognise the video ram "i am not sure if it does now but things are definatly way way better that it was before almost a year that i had to tweak my system parameters and experiment with advanced settings "clossing fbo and stuff " to have a smooth experience for 1 hour before the drivers give out and freeze my screen ending up crashing my viewer ..." the problem was with opengl vertex ...enabling it was meaning broken graphs for a lot of people around but things got a lot better by the time drivers are not crashing every one hour maybie not even for 100 hours but eventualy they still crashing but realy realy rare opengl vertex works ok and not dropping your perfomance and perfomance as well been increased a lot lately viewer 2 is even better ((i think they updated the outdated open gl librarys )) so conclusion ati nowdays can give you smooth experience with sl but if you are going to mess with the action sims i recomend nvidia if i am right 9600gt and 9800gt beating 4850 like 1,5x perfomance when especialy 9600gt is slower on any other game conclusion what i suggest if you want laptop for sl only you can go for nvidia 340mobile but if you can't find on your price range laptop with this range of nvidia card go for the 5650 i am going for Aspire AS7740G-334G64MN in like 1-2 weeks Core i3-330M 2.13 GHz 4 GB ddr3 5650 512mb 17,3 1600x900 led monitor if you are still on the market for laptop i will be able to upload some numbers compared to my desktop pc
