Asus F3SV-B1 Laptop Review

Mat reviews ASUS's F3SV-B1 laptop:


In How to Choose a Laptop, we reviewed what you should consider when looking for your next laptop: graphics, processor, memory, and storage. Having reviewed my needs in these categories, I selected my laptop of choice, the ASUS F3SV-B1.

How did you set the GPU to use more memory? Is that a new feature for the 8xxx GPUs?

It was an option in the bios. Your system has to have more than 1 GB of memory to make it work. but the option is something that stated in the 7 series GO GPU's nothing new...

I have the same laptop and I get low FPS in pretty much every game.. I played on my old 6600 desktop and got smooth TF2 gameplay and on my laptop I got choppy gameplay...
Laptop has 4 gigs of RAM

how is smooth gameplay possible?

I can assure you this laptop plays games very nicely. The boys form IC LAN 07 can confirm this

I replied to your PM and am looking forward to helping you get the best out of your system.

I actually fixed my problem! I was trying to game in BATTERY SAVING MODE... when I switched it to HIGH PERFORMANCE MODE.. it ran team fortress 2 on high settings perfectly... it still has a little trouble with bioshock and crysis though which I don't play often...

TF2 though, yea.


I can vouche this laptop games very nicely.

I have upgraded the RAM to 4gb which only reads 3gb in vista and I got a creative external sound card for it...
Good machine.

10/10
