Try testing them (the "Test for Stability" button) and open up GPU-Z to see if the 9400M is affected/values are changed (open up GPU-Z first to see if the 9400M is detected as an active GPU).
But I don't think it will do anything to the 9400M since it's hybrid SLi (and not Tri-Sli), but let's see...
Edit: But to be on the safe side, the simple way would be to uncheck the sync clocks for multi-GPUs and just set the clocks for each GTX 280ms individually.

-
I would assume turning on sli turns the 9400M off altogether, just as if you turn on battery mode the sli 280M are completely off.
-
also, you don't have to use sync. it is just to make over clocking multiple cards easier. instead of having to do it 3 times. so turn off sync and move them indepenantly. also go in device manager and see what happens if you disable the 9400m gpu there. see if this will in turn take the card out of the loop.
ps. do not use find max clocks we already know where you can start. we just need to see if it will take.
run 600/1000/1500 safety net clocks

This is because of the large power increase from turning the 280's on. It's easy to turn off, it's more of a process to turn on. It would definitely make a difference when on battery instead of AC.
Try this: play a game, and pull the plug. Did your PC freeze? -
-
Home at last. You can disable the integrated card in the BIOS so it's easy enough to remove the 9400M from the equation.

Nice results sleey! I didnt know p8600 would hit 3gz
but thats pretty awesome
Look how the CPU is holding 3dmark back hehe. GPU performance seems dam good. -
-
looking good!
-

-
Give me a link and I'll try it......
EDIT: I'm d/l right now. -
Here you go.

I thnk the sager.

mandrake
it's not letting me install the driver (via nvidia setup OR manually forcing it in device manager)
Any ideas?
EDIT: You sent me a XP64bit driver link.. lol at you!
Anyway, the Win7 64bit driver isn't available yet via lv2go. -
Are you getting the error no compatible card found?
-
Read my edited post above you
-
You beat my laptop config @ stock by 100 points! -
Wow.
So the 280's aren't worth the $300 premium, are they? -
-
Vantage will be the place where we could see a difference between 280 and 260, not in '06. IMHO. -
run 3dmark 06 in 1900 res and see who wins
-

Trial version will let you run multiple times.
Put in the trial key, do a test.
Then the next time you start the program, you can just click continue instead of putting in a key and it will let you run a test.
Atlease for me it does in both '06 and Vantage. -
No go for the 190 driver
It installed ok but the system took 10 minutes to shut down. Upon booting, it would get to windows but only the mouse cursor showed up (nothing else at all - black desktop).
I rebooted a couple of times to make sure it wasn't vista acting goofy but it never fully went into windows.
Back to 186..... -
It actually worked for me but I turned off my 9400M. That might make a difference but the drivers themselves did not.
-
That's almost what I get on my M17 with 3870's and a X9100 at stock clocks (3.06) and stock drivers.
I'm sure your Vantage score would be much higher than mine though. -
Its game time guys:
See the screenshot. I managed to overclock one of the cards and we will see how it goes now. By the way when I ran this everything was stock and UAC was on.Attached Files:

dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
nice. it beat the 3870x2.
ok can you put it together on the post stocked. and then try to overclock both. -
What do you mean, it beats anything out there in a notebook. It beats any laptop out there!!!
-
3dmark06 coming
-
Ya im certain those numbers are higher then my W90 was and @ stock that is very impressive indeed. Congrats Alitunay
.
-
3mark came up with 15800. I believe with stock clocks that is ok.
I am running Vantage and then try 8xAA on DMC4 -

stock cpu?
my post was just regarding the 3870 crossfired to the 280m sli.
for 3dmark06 my 3870 scored 15828 cpu at 3.2ghz and stock gpu. -
So what's different now Ali? Newer drivers?
-
That is correct Stuk CPU and a mini OC on GPU1. That is it.
-
Id prefer to see vantage honestly , 06 means so much of nothing . Sure it would fine to see the machine hitting 18k in 3d06 but i would prefer to see 12k on ther GPU scores in vantage, that would be truly amazing.
-
Sorry, you may have posted this earlier but what are your specs? -
GPU1 is a GTX M card right...and you got them running at different speeds in SLI?
