alzika Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I had a huge hassle getting the laptop and they sent it with misconfigured parts...THREE TIMES. They upgraded me to dual 780Ms from the 765Ms it shipped with.That being said, it only has a 4700MQ processor. How much will that limit the graphical capabilities of the SLI cards?

alzika Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Very little. That is a strong CPU. The CPU will only really hurt you in CPU tests in the 3dmark benchmarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcorby Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I currently own an Alienware 18 with a 4700MQ and dual 780m SLI. I have been able to run all my games max spec without any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morow89 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Yep same me, I got this 4800MQ but still evertyhing running fine and got 12k benchmark with stock 780 SLI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q56_Monster Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The GPU's won't be limited too much. It will all depend on your application's CPU dependency. If you like to benchmark GPU's, it depends on the bench. 3dm06 likes CPU...alot. Vantage is a 75% GPU test...but 25% of it likes a lot of CPU threads (think hexacore). Same with games. But in practical terms, the GPUs will suffer none from your 4700QM proc. Meaning real world, not synthetic or game test benches. You won't be choking on anything with that setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbocanegra Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Good to hear, I also didn't upgrade mine to 4800MQ and chose the 4700MQ since the laptop was already around 3,000, will be interesting to see what happens with this next gen.

There is no noticeable difference between the two CPU's when playing games - just a slight difference when running synthetic CPU benchs and CPU-heavy programs. Those dual 780M's are monsters and will run your games just fine at max settings provided the game has good SLI support which most games do.
