[Acer 5920g] 8600m GT GDDR3

Has anyone tried this upgrade? Or should I take a chance and pray hard that the 9600m (if it even is) is mxm type 2 ?

 

Ask Bigspin. He mentioned to check it out, by comparising BIOSes from C90 8600m GT DDR3 with Acer 8600m GT.

 

So how do we go about upgrading it? Do we need to buy the chip from other countries (I'm in Malaysia)? Can someone explain a bit about how to do it?

 

If you can even get a hold of a C90S 8600m GT GDDR3...then it might be possible. If you do...please PM me.

 

I will seriously hope that one of the next gen cards will actually be compatible with our notebook and that they'll fit!

 

@ Artix

Unfortunately, yes, you would have to get those mxm cards abroad, you could get them online and upgrading it isn't as easy as doing so for the desktop, you may want to pay a visit to www.mxm-upgrade.com for more information.


Yeah, I'm hoping we could fit a next gen card equivalent to the 8600m (should be the 9600m) and hope that it'll be 5920g mxm type 2 compatible

 

well, I won't be surprised if they keep the 5920G platform as it seems solid, successful and it's got great appeal price and performance wise. with that in mind, I won't be surprised to see if they release a model with a 9600GT...whether they later the layout enough that they mess up our options is to be found. let's all hope!

 

Let's hope so, keeping my fingers crossed for a 9600m GT upgrade, it'd better be a GDDR3 this time though.

I'm pushing my 8600m over the limits, overclocking it to the maximum, btw, to those who do overclock their 8600m, do you experience slight yellow artifacts in areas that are black in colour? I mean, these small boxes of artifacts appear only on black backgrounds, my games don't crash or anything like that.

Does this mean it's time to lower the clock?

 

^Yes, artifacts are because the card is getting to hot // not capable/stable.

 

Ok guys. I check the BIOS & nothing special about BIOS .BTW I only check the BIOS files ,so I'm may be wrong.

I'm thinking about to buy new laptop with GF 9XXX series

 

Bigspin would You be so kind nad sent me this BIOS file I will try to ask some guys in my country side to check it with puting C90 8600gt to 5920G but first I have to check the bios by my self. I PM You with my email. THX

 

i'm not even going to try it anymore but i want the DDR3 GPU so my acer is on sale and i am getting the XPS m1530

i know i could w8 till newer crds come out but now i still can sell my acer for a good price sinds its still new and in warranty.

 

Woah... yeah, well, that' the most feasible way of having a 9 series working well in a laptop. Though mind explaining why the sudden decision to give up on the Acer 5920g?

 

I got your PM.I'll send it to you by tomorrow(Now I'm on vacation @ Malaysia )

Try to buy new gateway FX series 8800GTS laptop (You can buy it from bb for $1400)

Actually dad want new laptop ,So I'm going to give this to him

 

Thats a really nice laptop yes I would have bought that if my budget would let me atm it's just that i can get that xps very cheap so when is sell my acer it would just like a trade in

but its really nice for the price that Gateway notebook!

Have a nice holiday BTW

 

Some guy from www.laptopvideo2go.com forum, manged to put 8600m GT C90 to his Acer 5520 (8400m on board). Check this out: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17040

The only think he had to do, was bios flash...

 

Cool, more hope for the 9600m GT in Acer 5920g...

Anyway, there's a rumour spreading around in the C90s thread that Nvidia and Asus is planning on a 8800m mxm type 2, doubt it's true, time will tell for sure, but in the mean time, I'm hoping both of them do come true, then we'll compare performances and pick the better to fix it in 5920g

 

C90 with 8800M card?......Hmmmm i don't think so,may be C80 or C70

 

bigspin, you're from Sri Lanka right? You buy things from excaliburpc don't you? I know they do international orders and delivery, so, how do you pay them?

 

Bank Wire Transfer

 

argg..damn..was hoping you'd say differently.. they charge an additional $80 don't they... plus the bank itself will charge more too.

Getting ready to get my hands on a 9600m GT GDDR3 whenever it is available ,by Asus, I'm speculating, to offer support for C90...and the VBIOS? well, I'm hoping the next revision of Acer 5920g or similar models will have a 9600m in it, or if someone would modify the vbios to make it work anyway.

Since my country don't actually import stuff like that, I'd have to rely on online international buying.
