    ATi HD6570 vs nVIDIA GT550 (GDDR5 vs GDDR3)

    Nice, I'll check it out, 17 inch is too big for me since I'm gonna take it to school everyday as well. 15 inches is about as big as I want. But the site looks pretty cool, I'll see if I can find anything else for me! You've been a great help!

    ATi HD6570 vs nVIDIA GT550 (GDDR5 vs GDDR3)

    They don't really do refurbished here, and that laptop would be probably around 2K US here... which is waaay past my budget. I'm open to suggestions if you know of any laptops that have good video cards in my price range. I'd try and see how much shipping would cost me. But at the moment these...

    ATi HD6570 vs nVIDIA GT550 (GDDR5 vs GDDR3)

    Yea but I'm sort of hindered by what's available in Malaysia within my price range. I'd love to order from the US, but shipping would be a pretty hefty price. My absolute limit for a laptop would be $1050 US which would include shipping. Ideally, $950 US which would leave me enough money to bump...

    ATi HD6570 vs nVIDIA GT550 (GDDR5 vs GDDR3)

    Oh wow, compared to the 5850 the card I'm looking is mid-ranged. Didn't realize GDDR5 was such a bottleneck. Considering both the laptops come w/ a Sandy Bridge Processor I guess it would make sense to go for the DDR5 ATi, even though it has a lower clock speed. In case people are wondering...

    ATi HD6570 vs nVIDIA GT550 (GDDR5 vs GDDR3)

    Yea from the specs the GT550m is GDDR3 and the ATi is GDDR5. On notebookcheck the 550m, is spec'd higher. So basically the ATi would be faster since it has GDDR5? Is it another one of those nVidia technology vs ATi things or is GDDR5 actually faster? It's not like VRAM is it?

    ATi HD6570 vs nVIDIA GT550 (GDDR5 vs GDDR3)

    Hey there, First time poster, long time lurker here. So, basically I've decided between two laptops finally and to me it comes down to the video card, the rest of the specs are the same: ATi HD6570(GDDR5) vs nVIDIA GT550(GDDR3). The clock speeds are similar, and their bench marks are close...
