M17x R3 485m Nvidia Solution Discussion

Me instead, i bought another heatsking for the gtx460m

 

How much was the heatsink? Part number? Come with retention clip?

 

I'm surprised they aren't charging you for this motherboard replacement...

btw, if they make u pay for it. let us know. i'm curious how much the motherboard costs.

 

Others have pointed out for some time that the 485M is not listed in the 3D Vision requirements on nVidia’s web site. Though the Clevo P170HM3 is supposed to be released with a 120Hz screen and the 485M, it is not available yet. Sager, which follows suit with their own version of Clevo models, has explained to me that they think it will be a few months before the model will actually be released. This may not be related, but then again…
3D Vision Requirements

 

I bought it with an ebayer for 100$ shipping included. The item left Miami yesterday.
I don,t know what included, I will see when i will receive it^^
Dell say like '' no in stock'' after i say that I used it for my gtx485m lol

 

i was really looking forward to see the gtx 485m work with no issues on the m17x r3.... props to everyone who tried!!

 

Yea but 32 is soo useless today. For user 8gb is enough and if you do emulating or idk, u will ''need'' more.

 

Really wanting my notebook back from dell already

 

What happen? why did they tok it?

 

I believe he sent it in for repairs.

 

Yes. The dell repair guy broke the system board when he was replacing it.

 

what a failure.. bet you could get some kinda perk from them due to their crappy, drunkard technician

 

This is what I'm going to tell dell if I screw up my motherboard when trying to install the 485 again.

 

With all these dell repair screwups, I am surprised people are not pressing to use the advanced warranty.

 

you sayin kill it and get a new replacement? i feel like many people will be doing this to go from the r2 to the m18x lol that's just my thinking though

 

That would be fraudulent and is not allowed here...

On another note:

I no longer have the 485M, we aren't going to be seeing 3D in the 485M any time soon and I preferred 3D versus a 1.5-2x faster processor, it runs everything great on the 460M, only reason I even got it was to help you all out in testing it since I can afford it right now.

No reason for me to keep it because I won't be utilizing it so it was sent back. Sorry I can not contribute anything more to this.

 

Were you able to return it and get a full refund?

 

Thanks mate for all the effort, I'm in agreement with you on the 460m it seems to be doing very well indeed and considering that 3D is best played at 720p so far it has handled everything I've thrown at it, been playing crysis 2 in 3D and it's great, no lag high fps and very playable in 3D.....I really can't complain

Only glitch I've had so far with my machine was the wifi not connecting out of the box but with several installs and messing around it's 100% now

also had to reinstall the 270 nvidia driver due to portal 2 not running in 3d, it was fine yesterday, I think some MS updates messed something up, Windows 7 in my opinion is less than perfect, better OS than Vista but no where near as stable.

 

Thanks for testing it out! Very sad ending to the thread though. :/ It's just a matter of time until someone finally brings out 485M with 3D, too bad it's taking so long.

See you on the vip threads.

 

has anyone found a way just to get the built-in ir emmitter to run? if so, the new beta drivers for iz3d may give us a 3d workaround...

Not working johnnobts :/

This is what I received All piece included

the new 3D clevo model is due out soon. i know there's at least one place in Australia that has is listed on their site. going to try to contact em for you guys to see if they have access to some drivers or somethin that may be of help

 

Thanks if you can have the driver, i can mod them^^
It will be niice but I think it won,t work :/

 

its worth a shot.. I dont have a 485m any more, nor have i picked up an R3. I just like when people can successfully get what they want out of a machine, especially if it's not how the original manufacturer's intended it to be


edit: for whatever reason i cant get their website to show up correctly. i can pull up a cached version, but it's not loading anything i want to click on lol. maybe someone else can get it to work?

http://www.logicalblueone.com.au/store/454-clevo-horize-p170hm-3d-notebook.html

 

lol.. website is death or in update, it will show up maybe in 1-3 days but it ship mine the next day and receive it in 7days^^

 

very good to see darcoder. and you bought it off ebay? not dell? was there a part number?

 

yep with an usa seller of ebay but i didn't use ebay services^^.
I give him the part number than dell give me because dell didn,t want to sell me one looool.
And I was surprised that ALL were included so now, i got 2 working gpu and can switch it like a ram lol

 

can you post or pm me the part number if you please? also, if you noticed, i was able to swap the 485 and the 460 without having to uninstall and reinstall drivers, so swapping them back and forth is really very easy (with an extra heatsink).

 

OMG I just found a website that purpose the gtx485m driver :0
Hope it,s working^^
Graphics Driver - Verde Driver v270.61 - GeForce

yep the part number is:
J9H7X ( MXM Thermal Module N11E-GS (Heatsink only) ).

up driver not recognize wth lool bcse it say gtx485m lol xD pff

 

my notebook is still being serviced. not happy waiting... can u pm me the ebay seller as well please?

 

sure i send it^^

I,m on 270.61 but 3D still not working ;/

Can someone with 3D gtx460m send me his registry of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NVIDIA Corporation

I might be found a request device id^^

 

thanks darcoder, hopefully my repaired r3 will arrive the same time as the heatsink.

 

^^
on driver i found this 3D id line: ''StereoMonitorID"=dword:02c5e430
Maybe it's the solution but idk...

So i check on gtx460m and it's the same and 270.61 works and 3D works on gtx460m.
Something with gpu and screen id has a rapport. :/ for sure..

 

back to changing device id with nvflash maybe. also any word on the 1.03v bios just for overclocking purposes?

 

I'm trying first of all how to integrade an mxm to pci port on my desktop so I will be able to flash/ unbreak a mxm cards.
if you know how, it will help^^

 

Not sure if I posted this, the 485M is back to seller, good luck in your ventures, ironically I now have a home theater set up with a 100" screen and could have still used the 485M connected to my cinema set up, which I am on write now writing this

Each letter is about 1/2" large

 

that sounds like an awsume system

made me laugh a little too IMAX in your living room lol

 

lol niice one

 

After seeing this post and your sig, I feel it is imperative that you do everyone here a favor and post some pics of your setup!

 

So you're gonna wait and find an mxm adapter or something before attempting a flash?

 

It's not REALLY Alienware related though

 

Link us to where it is appropriate

We all are interested in that setup

 

yep, that,s the only safe solution :/

 

well, safer solution anyway. question is, do they even sell mxm adapters or do you have to just fork out money for a mobo that accepts them or something?

 

Can always post it on avsforum. Dedicated web site for that. But if you got your Alienware connected to it, I believe it is VERY appropriate!!!

 

i want a mxm adapters to put it on my desktop, it should exist but where to find one :/

 

I think there was a dual mxm to pci-e adapter but it was just a prototype and was never sold.

 

I guess you meant this:



This was from MSI for the first gen MXM-card, I don't think something like this still exists for the newer cards...

 

^^
That's a MXM 2.1 adapter, also MSI stopped making them

 

wow, still no laptop from dell. r3 has been with them for over a week.... so, nobody wants to attempt an id change since mine failed? and no 1.03 volt flash? no way to do a registry edit or something so the nvidia drivers will read the gpu or display differently?

well, my 485m is up for sale if there are any takers, I bought it at $799 at the time, but now retails at $750. I'm selling mine for $600. Wish you guys luck. 485 is a great card, but my M18x is on the way.

wish all my 485m friends good luck in cracking the 3d mystery. if not, hey, enjoy a sweet 120hz screen and smoking fast card!
