Hello...what I have is not exactly a problem, more of a question...I read FERMI GPUs will get DX 12, but I kinda did not and I am waiting for it and the new games that'll feature this API...having a GT 630 isn't the most ideal solution, but I still use it for now, until I buy a laptop with a Maxwell chipset...so, will I get DX 12 on this piece of crap?

PS: Having WDDM 2.0, but who knows what's that.

MQ, HQ, QM are Mobile Quad, Quad Mobile and Hyperthreading Quad. Also QX for the Intel Extreme class chips. Though with this latest generation they are just shoehorning desktop class chips into commercial laptops (they've been doing that for a few years at some of the more custom laptop producers) It is simpler to just take the exact chip model name and look it up on ark.intel.com.

U is for Ultrabook, best these offer is a dual core with hyperthreading. Impressive clock speeds for a low power mobile processor. So if you want battery life, they are a good compromise.

Sadly the numbers used on mobile GPUs are almost meaningless. They use different GPUs and ship them under the same name, or ship the same GPU under multiple names.

Nvidia updated their information pages and planned to do it, but haven't actually released a driver that supports DX 12 on Fermi. It has been over a year, so I would say you are out of luck. If there is a game you want to play that requires DX12, I would go ahead and pick up a Maxwell GPU for your desktop. GTX 750Ti is still a decent choice, and there are some low power GTX950 out there as well.

With my sh*tty E7500 that can't even overclock past 3.4? Nah, mayble after buying a ZEN-powered CPU ... a whole new PC actually...or a new laptop with at least a GT 920/1020M (I mean somtething cheapt, 800 $ or below ...from Ebay ofcourse

Is there even a Dx12 game out there that will run well on a E7500 even if you had dx12?

Well, I donțt give a damn, even 30 fps would be great...played Advanced Warfare with my current setup (4 Ram) and it ran quite wel on Low...I am after the gameplay/story, graphics only if it is something very very optimised....

Regrading eximo's answer, I kinda am from Eastern Europe (Moldova, more exactly), so I can't buy from some american stores (like newegg) directly (I can use some intermediate company, but it's not profitable, in the most cases) so I would like to kindly ask you for budget gaming laptops recommendations for 600-800$...thx very much

Well, that does complicate things. Ideally would need the actual currency and a source you can buy from to look around. I'm not sure I want to spend the time poking around on Ebay trying to find listings that will ship to Eastern Europe, import fees and shipping might make anything I find invalid as well.

But if your intention is gaming, getting a hold of a laptop with at least a GT740m or higher is going to be very much worthwhile. The GTX960m is a desktop 750ti GPU if I recall correctly. For longevity you are going to want to stick with quad cores, or at the least dual cores with hyperthreading. The i7-U class processors are more or less equivalent to desktop i3s. The M class chips are just slower versions of their desktop counterparts.

One compromise is to get a laptop with a cheap screen which will reduce the cost significantly, then hook an external monitor up to it.

IT can Be from Amazon, no big deal...i just want the approximate price for it...I could find in the past thing on Amazon that shipped here...why shouldn't I now? What about HQ type? There is no obvious term I could think that is shortened as HQ (besidez high quality)...

PS: Isn't the Mobile version of a Graphics Card be some 5~10% only slower than the desktop variant? This is the story behind 630 and 630m...

For relative performance you have to see what the GPU is, take a benchmark for a similar model, and estimate based on the GPU clock speed or how much of the silicon is intact. Or find a benchmark of the exact model of laptop. They will vary in clock speed and the heatsinks will be different, so other laptops will only ever get you a close approximation. Wikipedia has a good list of AMD and Nvidia GPUs and all the minor name changes and variations.

Amazon has pretty good filters for searching. Set your CPU type, screen size, and flip dedicated graphics on. That should narrow it down.

Then it comes down to reviews and your personal preference on style.

So the Intel i5 6300HQ is a Dual with 4 threads? I hope I will be able to find laptops with 950m or even 960m performance at the price of some 600$ ... coz that will be the next year, around the same time as now and maybe the prices will drop...I don't know if the 950m is good enough, since I got no experience with mobile at all...

Hmm, now Intel has me confused, that is just a quad core without hyperthreading.

Apparently the H stands for High Performance Graphics (which is misleading, because it doesn't always have their high end graphics, they are basically counting anything that isn't their lowest iGPU as 'high performance')
The Q is for quad core which can be replaced with K to indicate an unlocked multiplier.
