Hp 8670w laptop.
need a repair shop that can actually fix the issue or replace GPU.
the laptop starts and even a minute it heats up and keeps on restarting.
i had the GPU repaired twice; it lasted for 2 months before happening again.

Used it for gaming Fortnite for few hours per day, videos, youtube, school work and net. no rendering

so help needed for Karachi use

are you sure thats the right model?
theres an 8570w that uses mxm cards
and an 8760W but i cant seem to find a 8670W
yes, it is 8760w with 2gb Nvidia Quadro 3000 if i remember.
do u know shops in Karachi that can replace the GPU or actually fix it and maybe other issue like webcam, and upper mouse buttons?

welp, the8760w uses an mxm card, so youll have to get another mxm card and swap it out into that after checking compatibility, as for repairs, no one fixes mxm cards in paksitan

no one sells these tbh, mxm cards are rare as it is, you can probably import them using aliexpress if you have experience in that though

unfortunately, i have no experience of Aliexpress.
i have found same model on olx for around for 30k or so but with 1gb.
i would prefer at least 2gb otherwise second option is to buy another laptop.

    Personally i see only one game that should be truly deserving of GOTY title this year (if it delivers). And that's KCD:II

  • XPremiuM XPremiuM:
    The gameplay is generic & outdated in that game. And it's 5 hour campaign is too short to enjoy.

    About Hellblade 2, I just watched the story on a YT channel out of curiosity and I think it has the Hallmark of a GOTY this year. While many criticize the game and I also don't like this genre of game, I believe the story and visuals looks like a cenimatic masterpiece.
    It may win the "best visuals" category, but that's about it. A GOTY contender needs to nail all aspects (Story, Gameplay, Visuals, etc)

    Just downloaded Farm Simulator 2024. The game is available for free on Epic fo limited time. I always wondered how our food is harvested. This game endorsed by the UN will reveal the process of farming.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    Hellblade 2 has a lower peak player count than Redfall 😬
    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
