So this is not directly related to Halo CE, but since I know many of you here are the computer geek type (like me sorta) I need some opinions

I'm getting a new laptop and I cannot decide what graphics card to get. I have a choice between an Nvidia GTX 260M (1GB) or Dual ATI Radeon 4870 CrossfireX (1GB). I'm looking to play Crysis on high settings with a good framerate. Please advise...

if you don't care for battery life, dual 4870

Personally, I would go with the Nvidia, but are there any more specs you can give us? Such as is one of the ram types GDDR3 while the other is like GDDR5 or something? Or anything else about the processors? When I look up the specs for them online it says it can be either... or...
Do you know the exact specs of each?

no I can look it up though.
Here are the rest of the PC specs if it helps (btw about battery life, this thing will be hooked up the a charger 90% of the time. the longest I would need it alive for is for an 8-hour flight to France...)
CPU: Intel Core i7 @ 2.4 GHz
GPU: ...
RAM: 6GB
HDD: 1TB Raid0
9-cell battery


did I mention it was an Alienware M15x or M17x? (please don't lecture me on how its expensive, a waste of money, or how it would be better to build a PC, I'm aware of those aspects and I still prefer this)

There are other much more reliable sites to obtain this off-topic information. Locked
