4870's IN MARCH

i love supply and demand .....just forget about them and get a 4870 lol

 

I have 3 MOS's 15N2F, 15B20, and, my primary is 15U2F

 

Sry for this silly question... but what is a MOS? Wikipedia says an old company who made micro prozessors.

You're job

 

i wish the best to all military people but any way back to the 4870's i want them now

 

NEWS! SB from the german forum toled me this:

He spoke with an AlienWare Guy and he said that there will be NO 2x4870 Crossfire! Only ONE 4870x2 ...

I am note quite sure wether I can belive him or not ... does anybode can comment on this?

THX & Greetings

hummm thats not the norm but hey surprises happen plus i heard that chip is huge

 

humm...you guys got a new alienware laptop coming out or something, because that solution wont be fitting into any current models if that is true...unless it's going to be sticking out the back or something...lol

think ill wait for a 2nd opinion on that one there

 

me to rk computers just confirmed that the 48xx will fit why on earth would AW do that ? money of coarse but come on be practical ....i'll wait for a opinion to because i heard from some one else in a german forum that a AW rep told them some thing is not the most convinceing story .. and AW hardly every leaks any info

 

May be "he" didn't realy understand the AW Guy ...

that person in Germany probably got their info from someone in India who has no idea what they are talking about

 

make that no opinion rather! lol rob/zfactor/e-wrecked/mark all say they will fit.



edit: after reading that.. seems your right...i think they we're getting mixed up between x2 and two cards.. also if he knew what he was talking about..he would know...saying "sli" is sacrilege when talking about ati cards. when everyone should know it's crossfire.

 

i garuntee ocz will say they fit next week now the RK has ... butttt i cant read german so that qoute makes no diff, i took spansih in school

 

I'm sure they will fit the ocz + variants. It would be stupid for them not to fit im sure alienware is planing on something to replace the m15x that may use a version of the 48xx. but to not put it in the m17 would be stupid since it is fairly new. same goes for OCZ

 

I still think the 4870 will fit into the STANDERT m17 ... I just got this info and wanted infos from you!

I know you know everything!


Another litle question:
(pls don't think all germans are silly )

"SB" said a x2 version would have no microrucks (don't know wether you call it like this) and I disagreed ... now what do you think?

i bet AW love's ATI now ... i think there gonna go with a 15 inch with single 4870 ... which will be amazing ...they will go for a black m15x chassis( can a m15x fit a 4870? like slot wise?)so 2 nvidia laptops a 17 n 15 and 2 ATI a 17 and a 15 what yall think?

any there giving away the m9750 sooo there clearing for something ohhhh makes me want wait.....nvm i dun any more!!!

 

Nah 15" will be the 4850 max, which will still be really awesome performance, probably > 9800M GTX at a fraction of the cost.

 

im saying 4870... maybe im just hopeing to get one for my self but the 4850 will play all game out now really awsome so eather way its gonna be nice lets hope new frame and looks

 

Even Crysis? This would be perfect! But ... I am sceptical ... ok on 1440x900 ... but ... öhm ... ok may be^^ *hopefully*

Let's make it known... OCZ says it will be possible. OCZ Verfies it. Here's the thread

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49184

Oh..and if it fits the OCZ it also fits the AW M17 - Just to clarify.

EDIT: Sidenote, the person mentions the 4870 x2 because the drivers provided thus far all call it the 3870 x2 Crossfire.. Im not confirming the 4870x2 in Crossfire fits. I am confirming the 2 x 4870s in Crossfire fit.

I read on some Taiwanese website (that I can't find anymore when searching google news) that ATi officialized the max TDP for the two high end cards: 4850 being rated as 55w TDP and the 4870 being rated as 65w TDP. If this is true, it the latter may be possible in 15 inch notebooks like the Clevo and Alienware. We need a super rich guy with no life to test if it would work on both chassis when the time comes...

 

I am not super rich, but I am that guy, especially if the 4850 is under $300. What's the 9800M GT TDP, 65W?

 

Same here. I would purchase, then sell an M15x (I doubt people would loan me an M15x at this point to test, like the awesome Matt Lee did with his M9700), but I gotta get ready for tax season and pay off my credit card.

According to Notebookcheck.net, the 9800M GT has a TDP max of 65w and the 9800M GTX rated as 75w max, but again, the TDP numbers are just the maximum power it can consume before becoming unstable. A 9800M GT or GTX in stock form won't be consuming anywhere near that much power; same with the ATi cards. You'll need to overclock to get up to that point.

 

I need a confirmed answer to this soon so I can go ahead and buy the M17.

 

It was confirmed a few pages back.Heres a link confirming http://www.rkcomputer.net/rkcnotebooks/index.php?l=product_detail&p=95 Yes it also says in crossfire so its 2 cards.

 

guys they will FIT. and they will be 2 CARDS NOT ONE. they will be still 2 separate 4870's not a 4870 x2 card. the newest driver may read them that way as they do the current 3870's.

they will for sure fit. dont even worry about it if that is what is holding up your order now..

again 2 cards in crossfire NOT a 4870x2 just want to make sure that is correct

 

Uhhh..did my OCZ link leave any questions in ANYONEs mind? Geez. Hard headed folk

 

Here another link...

Enjoy!

I'm more of a software guy as opposed to a hardware guy, but you all might understand more of what they're talking about than I am.

It does have some of that TDP stuff mentioned above.

 

I think the confirmation people are looking for is that its a button they can select on the configuration page. it doesn't matter how many places confirm it, even if amd/ati start putting advertisements on TV, they need more.

 

Wait there's a button? WHERE WHERE WHERE???

 

Don't worry I believe in u E wrecked
