I am getting a new toshipa p850 with 8g memory,

Nvidia GT 630M 2GB dedicated graphics with Optimus

i7 processor

windows 8

 

I currently have a hp g series with a hd3000 graphic card.

 

Do you think it will run better with this set up? I have the strike fighter 2 europe, vietnam and north atlantic. Currently after a couple of games I have to restart and use low resolution.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It should run much better that your old one with it having both an i7 and a dedicated graphics card. Games that have been tested on Windows 8 haven't show any real increase/decrease in performance (some up & some down a few FPS) but as with any new OS just give it a go and let us know if it works :grin:

make sure to update all the drivers, and configure optimus tech to use the GT630 GPU ONLY for games.

Games run on Windows 8 great!!

 

WoX, SF2 X, everything runs as ever before and my CH control manager runs without problem either.

 

Windows 8 changes UI a lot but the bottom line is, comparing it to Vista is a blasphemy.

Wait about six months. Windows 8 has a lot of issues currently and only is cool if you actually have a touch screen. Other than that, not worth upgrading to currently.
