I am looking at buying a gaming laptop to replace my gaming desktop.
This is what I have in mind: General Information Model Number ROG G53Sw-XR1 Lifestyle Gaming Color - Lid Black Color - Base Black Color - Keyboard Black Platform Notebook PC Motherboard North Bridge Chipset Intel HM65 Operating System Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Processor CPU Brand Intel # of Cores 4 CPU Type Core i7 CPU Speed 2630QM (2GHz) Turbo Boost Speed Up to 2.9GHz Smart Cache 6MB CPU Main Features Hyper-Threading Technology Virtualization Technology Turbo Boost Technology Intel 64 Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology Idle States Thermal Monitoring Technologies Intel Fast Memory Access Intel Flex Memory Access Trusted Execution Technology Memory Total Memory 6GB Memory Speed DDR3-1333 Form Factor 204-pin SO-DIMM Memory Configuration 1 x 4GB; 1 x 2GB Memory Slots (Total) 2 Memory Slots (Available) 0 Maximum Memory Supported 8GB Hard Drive HD Capacity 640GB HD Interface SATA HD RPM 5,400 RPM HD Configuration 1 x 640GB Multimedia Drives Optical Drive SuperMulti DVD±RW Optical Drive Interface SATA Display Screen Size 15.6" Display Type Full HD LED-backlit LCD Resolution 1920x1080 Widescreen Yes Webcam Yes Webcam Resolution 2.0 Megapixel Video GPU Type NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M Video Memory 1536MB Display Interface 1 x VGA 1 x HDMI Audio Audio System High Definition Audio Speakers Yes Communications LAN Gigabit LAN LAN Data Transfer Rate 10/100/1000Mbps WLAN Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n Wireless Technology 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n WLAN Data Transfer Rate Up to 150Mbps Bluetooth Bluetooth 2.1 Card Reader Card Reader 8-in-1 Digital Media Reader Media Supported Secure Digital MMC Memory Stick Memory Stick PRO xD Mini SD Memory Stick Duo Memory Stick PRO Duo Ports and Connectors VGA 15-pin 1 HDMI 1 USB 2.0 3 USB 3.0 1 LAN RJ-45 1 Audio 2 Security HD Password Protection Yes Keyboard & Mouse Keyboard Ergonomic Illuminated Keyboard Mouse Type Touchpad Power Power Supply AC Adapter Battery 6-Cell Lithium-Ion Physical Specifications Width 15.6" Depth 11.9" Height 0.8" - 2" Weight 7.9 lbs.

My question is: will the geforce gtx 460m outdo my desktop's Ati Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5? I know there is a difference between Ati and Nvidia and now I'm also trying to compare it to an Ati Desktop card. Hope to figure this out, as I need to sell my desktop in order to get this laptop and didn't want to sell it if it turned out to be a major downgrade. Oh, I know the laptop outbeats my desktop in the other areas, some not by too much, but the graphics is where I am questioning.
Thanks for your help. I am a student, so i need ultimate portability, please only answer the question I asked. I know what I want, was only wanting to know the differences between systems. That and no, it's not cheaper to have a laptop built. I've compared to those that will build them, this is the best deal at $1300. Other's want around at least $1500-$2500. thanks i didn't want to put anyone off, so please don't be offended by my first Additional details remark.
