*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Owners Lounge - Part 4

hows the new o.c. in game any specific gains in fps in some games?

 

largest FPS gain i've gotten with OC'ing the GPU was in farcry2... a solid 10fps gain! ... most other games it ranges from 5-10FPs.. still pretty darn impressive...

 

awesome and that's with the 197 drivers right?

 

That's not good :s...

did u try taking out the battery and unplugging...? you know to make the lights go off... and then do a bios reset maybe? have you tried those good 'ol tools of the trade? loll

 

i gained 30+fps on minesweeper.

 

actually that was with 195.62 drivers... and lower clocks than i have now... ( they were 660/1100/1660 i think... now i reached 700/1100/1700 stable with the new drivers...but i didnt hit the cards limit yet ...so it could prob go higher.. how much i dunno..haven't tried it out yet

 

when the caplock and others are flashing its a very bad sign, calling dell asap is highly recommended.

 

Ugh snap, I dont want my M15x to be away from me
I tried everything you said earlier Jstarnino, there is no way Baw, I'll call dell in a few.

 

yeah sorry bro, but its probably a major issue. but hopefully they can repair next day for you, good luck bro.

 

sweet now i just want my m15x to get here so i can start ocing like a fiend oced the inspiron im on with ati tools stock 230/180 and oc is 315/255 on a ati mobility 7500 lol.

 

only a few games out there that actually needs the oc to run better, but most runs amazingly well without.

 

well im planning on hooking my m15x to my sweet 40" LED samsung tv to play c and c 4

 

Listen to this guy.... he knows what he's talking about...

Yea if Inap says to call dell... CALLL DELLL.. lol

Yea man the 260M is surprizingly good @ stock for a card that came out over a year ago... its rare i run it OC'd...

 

i know but i love pushing a computer to the brink without frying it. i really like to oc it eats up time when im just bored and have nothing better to do.

 

Haha thanks for the back up man. If only I can remember the error code for all 3 flashing.

 

anyone with a watt-meter know how many watts this beast uses when playing a game like BC2.. screen turned halfway bright?

I know running the CPU+GPU full blast with screen up uses about 170~ watts roughly..


any input would be really appreciated!

 

any update soccerthiery????

 

Whats the latest version of AlienFX?

 

Looks like a loose Display connection. Try to shake your m15x a bit and switch it on. Or you can open it up and check the display connection.. Had that issue once just connected the display cable and problem solved...

 

^^^^ man such quality on these forums... i mean... where else you gonna find this?? NOWHERE thats where! loll..

 

that being said its friday night and im outtaa hereee woooooo!! In my brand new A4 laterzzzzz

 

Hello guys, thought i would ask here before starting a thread somewhere, I am currently running 186.82 driver for 260m on my M15x, but it's not running Battlefield Bad company 2 well, it's so glitchy! Was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for which driver to install in order to run the game well? Thanks for readin!

 

the newest one 197.16 seem to work pretty good for bf2, but also did you set it to play in dx9 instead of auto which is dx10.

 

thanks for the tip bro! Will try to run it in dx9!

 

No luck with dx9, it ran even worse, bad glitches, *sigh* gonna to try 197.16!

 

really it made it much more playable for me. owell yeah try out the new driver.

 

Hey.. inapp.. did you try prototype.. it seems to be throttling the gpu.... with the new drivers and the bios even though bfbc2 doesn't throttle the gpu at all.. maybe prototype doesn't stress the gpu enough to push it to 3d clocks...

 

what specs have you got..... what are the graphics settings for the game...

 

yeah didn't have time to install it yet, and thanks again for the game. maybe try tonite to check it out. but first have to make some space on my hdd.

 

M15x i7 820, 260m, 4gb ram, 1080p screen

BFBC2- 1080p res, high settings.

just installed 197.16, and it worked! it's running so much better! :-D thanks Inappro!

 

Sorry, I was working all night!
Err wlel I called Dell, a weird tech told me a couple of stuff to do [disconnect memory &HDD.. etc] it didnt work.. So a tech will be coming to my house early next week (monday or tuesday). He thinks its a motherboard issue, personnally I think it's got to be related to me, starting to overclock and messin' in the Bios (with my ram frequency and my gpu)...
So I dont know what to do, when I try to boot it, I hear the fan, bugging and all..
Mehh
Sadface I'm currently on my old and dusty dell inspiron 1501. Its horrible
Thanks everyone for the advice, I'm gonna try everything you suggested!
Also, you lucky m o f o Jstarnino :O

 

Isnt there any way I could reset my bios?

 

Disconnecting the button battery inside for 30 seconds should do it.

 

The button battery?

Btw, this is getting weirder, Nothing is working, though my alien fx ust changed color, and It seems to be totaly working! I can turn the t-pad on and off! :O

 

Yeah disconnect the coin battery. Open up the panel underneath and unplug the little connector for the battery and gave press the power button to drain any power then reconnect. That should reset your bios

 

I dont see connectors? O_O
Sorry for my lack of knowledge.. Where can I find it?

 

its the little black coin looking thing. its connected to a little wired and the wire connection is right next to it. the white little plug next to the little battery.
if you need and can take a picture of it.

here is a link for the owners manual too:

dude thats sweet, man you and me are alot alike, i just went to an audi dealership like two weeks ago but was checking out a different model. man congrats audi's are so sweet right now.

 

Now heading to bed, I'm a happy man D
Though tomorrow I have to install the new bios and replace my ram, it seems that on of my stick isnt working :O
ANyway, muchas gracias seniores!

 

glad to see that your m15x is revived

 

Lollll! Yea man it is crazy! we have all the same intrests lol.. and audi makes some of the nicest cars ever....if only i had an rs5 lol.. or better yet.. the r8 BALLLLLLLINNNNNN'

Congratz u figured out what it was...

 

Congratz ....

 

forums dead again today huh... and im bored outta my mind at work.. **yawnnn**

 

Inap is online so no more boredom for you, lol. Yeah I went to Audi to test drive the r8 for kicks. Its one bad mofo that's all I can say. also went to test drive the nissan gtr also, gtr wins hands downs, so sweet.

also did nero work for you?

 

WoooT! your a life saver man!

Aww man stoppp..the gtr is pure SEXYNESS... man oh man... i used to have a 1998 skyline and the thing was a beast...the new gtr is just rediculous..

And yea man thanks alot! worked like a charm! NeroVision is just amazing cuz it encodes and burns all so seamlessly without having to be at the computer.. just hit start and come back in 45 mins.. and presto!

 

Omg its CHuck!
So yeah guys, I ran into some more problem this morning!
It seems that I'm unable to boot from my CD O_O Maybe I burned it wrong or something.. I dont get how I can not manage to do it.. But oh-well..
