That is what it is specially designed for 3D gaming!

How about if you have an external HD, will it still be slow? Mine is from Western Digital.

I disagree with rajan. if the pc is configured for 3d gaming than its obvious it will provide great performance.

Its not designed for 3D. Its just marketed that way. All Nvidia GPUs support 3D (all new ones) and you can get the glasses for $150. The monitors needs to be 120Hz and you have a 3D gaming machine.


So by looking at the specs, i am pretty sure you cant play many games in 3D.

I think you are talking about the processor.See this:

"Asus places quad-core 1.6GHz Intel Core i7-720QM processor that can be speeded up to 2.8GHz with TurboBoost technology."

No, I mean the graphics card, the GTX 260 is very weak, its not the same as that of the desktop. Its G92 based and not GT200 based. Its as weak as a 9800GT desktop.


I had reviewed a laptop withe the i7, you can see benchies here:

They will, but you will have to play Crysis @ low settings at low resolution so that you can enable 3D.

ohh........That mean we are not getting that we are giving and need.

3D enabled gaming is a top notch for gamers.
