M6600 Owners Thread

if I have the 1600x900 version , for replace it with a full hd i need another back lcd or is the same ? and the inverter ?

 

If all you wish to do is go from 900p to 1080p, then you already have everything needed except the display panel itself. Your existing LCD cable and backplate will work fine. These LED backlit panels do not need or use an inverter.

Scott-

 

thanks scott , is the same for the PremierColor IPS RGB Anti-Glare LED-backlit Premium Panel ?

other question

there's a website which have many spare parts for the m6600 like motherboard , cable ecc ?

 

No, the IPS is a different story. The LG LP173WF3 LCD is not easy to get and the additional parts (see below) make the effort not worth it at this time. There are no M6600 devoted parts web sites; just eBay sellers and the Dell parts vendors in TX

Had just a wee bit of time today to play around a bit more. On the m6600 with good cooling on its 8900m, I reverted it to the factory HD image with 8900m drivers, etc., and tested a basic overlock of the 8900m:

Unigene Heaven Dx11, Tess off, 4x antistrophic, 4x AA, 1920 x 1080
Stock speeds: 33.5 fps, 845 score
800/1000 OC: 38.6 fps, 937 score
Difference = +15.2%

Unigene Heaven Dx11, Tess Normal, 4x antistrophic, 4x AA, 1920 x 1080
Stock speeds: 24.4 fps, 616 score
800/1000 OC: 27.7 fps, 698 score
Difference = +13.5%

Unigene Heaven Dx9, (no tess), 4x antistrophic, 4x AA, 1920 x 1080
Stock speeds: 35.0 fps, 886 score
800/1000 OC: 41.1 fps, 1035 score
Difference = +17.4%

Under those tests the card topped out at 83*c. Fans never went to 100%.

Stress testing with Kombustor topped out at 84*c.

Looks like a stable and solid OC if the cooling is properly functioning on the 8900m. I should also mention that this makes me all the more confident that there is little to no need to install the 6970m drivers unless your game's minimum spec check is refusing to recognize the card and let you play.

Overclocking was done with Sapphire Trixx.

Oh, and one last note: There was in fact no difference in visual quality between the drivers. It was my brain playing tricks on me. I ran the tests again with the 8900m drivers and they look just as good as with the 6970m drivers.

This is in the case of Quadro cards, right?
