9800M GTX or 9900M GTX in the m15x?

i think most users are too bust gaming on it right now. so far the only complaint i read is the touch controls being not sensitive enough. Packer is also suppose to recieve a m17x from AW since AW liked his review on the m15x so much. There hasnt been a update on that yet and he hasnt posted for around 2 months i think. it might be a while before we get to see an m17x review.

 

surely you jest.

 

Hmm, I must say I have to disagree with everyone who says the 9000 generation will be hotter than the 8000. For example, on my old Alienware m5500, which came with an nvidia 6600, I would get temperatures as high as 95C while playing F.E.A.R. and Age of Empires 3. I managed to find an MXM-II 8600M that works on the system, and right now temperatures dont ever go above 80C. It just means newer hardware is more efficient, using less power, and operating at lower temperatures. Therefore, the 9600M should run colder than the 8800M while providing similar performance to users of the m15x. The 9800M should be a little colder than the 8800M, with a bit better performance, but if a 9900MGTX came out, then maybe that one would be too hot for the m15x.

Just look at Pentium 4s... Pentium Ds were a little colder while having better performance, and Core 2 Duos are A LOT colder while offering extreme performance.

 

Yes and no israeljamesbond. If the 9000+ chips are die shrink ya it will be running cooler and faster. If it the same type of chip as the 8800gtx. It will be hotter.

With the P4 and such it was all about ghz and dieshrink and hypertreading.

 

the gx2 is actually a bit more powerful than the 280 as theoretically, its two cards. but the 280 is the best single card out there.

no offence MICHAELSDO1, but youre being a bit too positive about alienware.... i mean, youre starting all these random speculation threads with no real meaning. alienware obviously wont utilise the 9800 Gtx, let alone the 280gtx, because not even clevo dared offer it in a bigger, thicker 15 inch with a better cooling. the m15x will not get too big of an upgrade, montevina proc, 9800GTS at THE MOST. maybe not even DD3 RAM

 

There's a thread on here somewhere which has confirmed that Sager aren't putting the 988GTX into there newest notebook becauseof the heat out put. They are using the GTS version.

The m15x can only just cope with the 880GTX and you want to put a hotter card into it... I'm looking forwarda to the video of benchmarking it.... "There will be flames" lol

It might be able to work in the m17x because of the better cooling...

Just my 2p...

OB

 

the 860tu can have the 9800gt as well. the gt is better than the gts

 

oh, and sager's 17 inch notebooks have the GTX, the 9262 will soon have the option to have sli 9800GTX

 

No, from the latest benchamarks, GT280 is not equals but actually MORE powerful than 9800m GX2.

You are wrong. If you are talking about the 15.4" NP8660, it uses 9800m GT, which is as powerful as 8800m GTX.

 

wow the 280 must be really powerful

 

Yeah i realised once i re-read it i meant the 9880GT....my bad!

I was mearly pointing out that if Sager are not using the GTX in the NP8660, it will never be used in the m15x as it would melt...

OB

 

exactly what i said 1 post before

 

as you are about the clevo based units.
you also post speculation about the new clevo, more so directed at the cooling without even having the backing to validate your argument at this time since it has yet to be in the hands of the public. so you are making a speculation as well without proof.
you also go on to assume that AW can not match the clevo in gpu's and RAM without validation as well.

if you feel the need to attempt to correct another cause they are just speculating, then please do not turn around and do it yourself unless you have proof to back your rebutal.



that said, i have doubts the gtx will be offered in the CURRENT m15x. i do, however, feel that they could utilize them if they re-engineered the 15 to handle the temps associated with the gpu's

 

No need to assume, there are 2 or 3 NP5793 reviews plus one toshiba X305 in sager forum.

take the new CPU as an example, it's 25W vs. m15x 35W, that 29% of heat right there. DDR3 also products less heat as well. regarding the mobo, it's 25% smaller than santa rosa, which means more space for airflow and cooling system.

 

he provided nothing with his post.
and to say they will not is just pure speculation. no one can say for certain they AW is not working on getting ddr3 or a higher gpu into a 15 platform.

can you with absolute certainty say this?
all i am saying is that he posted against another about speculation, then he posts speculation in turn....

i am not here to argue toshiba or np's. i am not the guru you and others are, as i am learning a lot from here, thus a post with proof or links is best for me.

 

i can give you partial credit for offering the information to back his post with this information, and i will say it validates it to a minimum.
still, no one can say for certain how the single fan can and/or will handle until the item is out there.

 

oh ****, i supported sager....... dw, i was just pissed at michaeldo1 at thinking they could fit a 9900 in a 15 inch. 1000 posts of bs...

and it is almost certain, the sager will have a better cooling solution than the alienware.. i will eat my hat if it doesnt

 

If I remember right with the ddr and ddr2 wars. It took 14 Months for ddr2 to be faster then ddr.

It could also mean the same with ddr3.

On the reviews Nirvana You say they are on the forums yet you dont post them here.

 

I posted them in "why alienware" thread as your request, please check.

 

thats 100% sure

and i personally see that IF Alienware could get a new 15inch model or a refresh for the m15x with the new tech, it will destroy the sales of any notebook out there seriously.
