hummm, talke to AW today and they said the 900p screens are in fact single lamp and the 1200p screens are dual lamps...now just how true that is...i have no clue..me, i would probably have taken the screen apart by now to verify.

I think it's time to move the convo to the appropriate thread here.

righto, moving to that thread

Just ordered an M17x:
Black Metallic
QX9300 2.53GHz
2x nVidia GeForce 280M GTX
4GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
17" WUXGA (1920x1200)
500GB HDD @ 7200rpm
Blu-Ray
Should arrive around July 17th. Feels like an eternity. And I hope to post some game benchmarks. Crysis, Supreme Commander, Empire: Total War, Fallout 3, not sure what else. Probably stock first then OC'ed and tweaked after.
Oh and I won't be buying/downloading games I don't want just for the sake of benchmarking. Just throwing it out there. -

Lol same specs on every detail except I'm getting a Blu-ray burner, can't wait to see you in the benches

Remember I also saved 400+ dollars by vying to install the Qx9300 myself
-
great to hear ... we need someone to try out CPUgenie -
yea with a voltage increase we could push the qx9300 to 3.6GHz....

Anyone try the ctrl+alt+F1 method when entering BIOS to bring up voltage control?
-
-
-
I don't like 3dmark06
vantage is not CPU dependent
Also need some help trying to OC these 260 and 280's -

no guarantee it will work, but definitely worth the try none the less.
-
-
just for the record I have an M17 and i have my 8600 at 2.97 almost 24/7 through setfsb
runs like a charm
Pete -
i am still waiting for some results from crysis in 1920x1200 with very high and high details without aa.. please
i need the values for my decision between sli 260 and sli 280.
-
Ctrl+Alt+F1 didn;t work. I am RMAing my lappy due to a MB issue. The wireless issue I was having was related to the MB and not a software. At least I have this system for testing until I get the other one.
-
-
It does not pick the wireless signals as it should be. I have around 10 wireless signals in my house which all other computers I have can pick but this one can only see the one from my router and even right next to the router it picks 2 bars.

i have some benchmarks coming at stock speeds first, i've already ran 3dmark06 @ 1280x1024 and 1900x1200.
1280x1024 at stock settings & drivers was 13,500
1900x1200 at stock settings & drivers was 12,900
they seemed like pretty low scores in my opinion though
but i still plan on running 3dmark vantage and pcmark vantage at same settings, then do it all again after i overclock everything. I will be starting a thread of my own with my benchmarks once completed. Expect to see a thread pop up by the end of the weekend with stock benchmarks, overclocked benchmarks will come sometime next week.
also screenshots will and have been taken with the scores as well as temps -
hey, could you run crysis in 1920x1200 with very high and high details without aa.. please
-
Wow, those scores are low, but it is 3DMark'06.
My scores where:
13400
13100
@ex2j
I haven't ran the Crysis benching tool, but I have played 4 hours of Crysis @ 1900x1200 no AA on Very High and the game has been liquid smooth. -
i need results of the benchmarke to compare it :/
-
I got 13,280 with my SLI 260's
but my CPU @ 3GHz....
-
With my [email protected] and 280M stock, I'm looking at lower 12,000's. Only ~1000 more points with sli sounds low, but that's because your CPU bottlnecked. OC your QX9300 to 3.2ghz and you'll score over 16k.
In vantage, CPU speed wouldn't make a difference since it's very stressful even for the best desktop GPUs. -
Yeah, my desktop E8400 @ 4GHz and single 4870 (no OC) get 15,300 in 06.
Gotta run vanatage here soon. Be back in a bit! -

yeah that's low. for my [email protected] and stock 9800m gtx i get 10,100 and then i overclocked the stuffing out of it and got 12,500 but that's with an old driver and i haven't tried it since.
-
1920x1080
Minimum=31
Average=33
Max=55 -
That is double the min and +10 to the average -
Dumb question here but how are you guys doing screen shots of DMC4? I keep getting just a black screen.
-
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
stocked gpu better drivers????
just alt+enter it and then use snipping tools and cut it out and save it. -
-
there should be a little place you click and crop it
-
I'm also scoring 15065 in 3dmark06. Doing DMC4 now. -
10 char. -
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
you know what i notice. with ati, when you overclock the cpu the fps in dmc4 doesn't change. but with nvidia, the second and the fourth scence does. does anyone know why.
i have test for ati with 2.53ghz dual, 2.53 quad, 3.06 dual, 3.06 quad and nothing has changed. nothing what so ever but with nvidia i see it matters??????
can't want for your results. -
First run...
-
You may want to put AA status also. And what is your CPU clock?
-
nice mandrake +rep for actually helping -
-
When my CPU is at 2.93 it still shows 2.53. So question holds:
IS this 8xAA and what CPU speed? -
You just have the world record for laptops on this benchmark
-
nice...
Dell should use it for marketing. -
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
and he's pumping a dual
-
Dual performs better for this benchmark. My quad at 2.93 scored around 10% less
-
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
oh really. ok i didn't know.
-
Mandrake can you run no AA?
-
10char. -
dondadah88 Notebook Nobel Laureate
before we forget about this. can someone explain then for at least ati. my t9400 stock @2.53ghz and my [email protected] scored the same. give or take 1fps.
