New M17x Pics- with Nikon D80 camera

Yeah, the 8692 I cited was the total score.

 

it says gtx 180m, not 280m??

 

yeah it's not reading it right. but it is a 280m.

 

Orb does that sometimes with new cards.

Hey electrosoft, didn't Orb mess up the name of the 4870's?

 

Yeah it did, messed up the names of the graphics cards in the W90 with the 4870's as well as the Sagar NP5797 with the single GTX 280m.

 

gotcha Praze...never knew what the limit was...

Vandit...if you could then maybe pick a few that you really like, or follow Praze's suggestion it would be appreciated....

 

Any chance of a 3DMARK 06 score?
I know Vantage is the gold standard now, but just to see what I can hit.
Stock and OC'ed CPU if you don't mind?
Great work and congrats man!

 

yeah it's earlier. 15,707

 

I think he already did it at the standard 1280 x 1024 and got 15,707.

 

ohh gawd i can't wait for mine

i sold my m17 for a total of 1560 with out shipping but turns out this guys wants over night im formatting and getting drivers ETC omg and then ship it out ....its a 120$ for the shipping alone


sorry but vandit you have earned my thanks many times

 

Moo, make sue that you are shipping to a confirmed address. Also get insurance, delivery confirmation and signature to be safe.

 

Gratz on the sale Moo.

Just make sure he's legit, and if he wants overnight, make sure he pony's up the coin for it.

If he's willing to pay $120 S&H on a $1490 item, that would raise alarms for me and I would check and recheck his legitimacy.

Make sure he's confirmed/verified.

Also, ask for a voice # to verify.

 

lol i called him then he called me back he is american and has been on ebay for 4 years and has 100% feedback

and he wants it ... he paid on ebay then found out i needed a extra 30. and paid that to me


... but turns out to get it over night i need another 30 shipping really went up


so i gotta have it out in the morn .... i have the money so im happy and i am getting insurance

 

Ok, we're just making sure it isn't a scam. We're looking out for ya.

We know you're chompin' at the proverbial bit waiting to get your M17x.

 

dang paypal fees were 60 bucks so that mean i now have to pay 60 out of what i won on the laptop so im down to almost 1420

 

you will pay another $50 to ebay. Is he address on paypal confirmed or not?
I know how hard you work to save money, I don;t want you to loose it just to get alittle bit closer to the allpowerfull.

 

wait guys, some people already recieved their M17x? I thought it was going to take over a month for it to shipped? It has been just a little over 2 weeks since the M17x has been available to order. Alienware is shipping these system in 2 weeks or less?

 

Great pictures!!! The screen looks exceptional!

 

Yep, a few have received theirs on these forums thus far, most had ship dates of the first week in July.

 

Very nice pictures thanks.

Now this is a laptop with keys that light up, not that fake lit keys the M17 has..

Hope i sell mine soon so i can order the M17x

 

Nice pics, (need a tripod for some ) I tell you what the Keyboard is what really brings the M17X to life, not only just the awesome lights but also that its a nice full sized keyboard with a real number pad.

 

I think you score is not supposed to be just this

Here is my 8800M GTX SLI with 185 driver. I think you should be able to get at least 10k for GPU.

 

Thanks for the feedback and thanks guys. I am happy to do it for my NBR bretheren. I am at work posting on my blackberry, but will try to get some new pics tonight

 

You have some nice shots of the glass panel lcd. Thanks for taking the time to post these.

Duane

 

Agreed, very nice pics (considering the overall lack of them available) but I'd like to see that D80 on a tripod for all those AlienFX shots for sure .

 

cpu score 22693 how did u get that??

 

physx was enabled.

 

so which score is more reliable, physx enabled or disabled??

 

disabled for the cpu.

 

Futuremark doesn't consider physx enabled scores to be "official" so if you don't use their approved drivers with physx disabled, your scores wont be listed globally for ranking/what-not. Kinda shady, but they have their reasons...

 

yeah...and those reasons have to do with ati not being able to do the same thing...so to stop the ..er ah...confusion...they dropped it from requirement.

and the flip side...

almost all modified ati drivers seem to be certified, while touch an nvidia driver and it's no longer orb verified....(speculation of course)

 

Kinda silly how they engineered PhysX support for Vantage only to make scores using PhysX not official.

 

ati couldn't use it...so it can't be official anymore....

say, does ati have some sort of step up program? i might try a pair of 4870x2's if i can step up to the next higher card without having to sale mine....or would that be some more whishful thinking?

 

I havent seen an ATI step up program like say EVGA has , there might be one just not heavily advertised .

 

thanks quad... because i didn't see one either. just making sure i didn't miss one as well....

 

johnksss on ur sig, i see ur vantage gpu score, it says 11.016 with no Physx enabled but thats with 9800mgtx sli and qx9650 oc, is it fair to say u bound to get better score than that with gtx 280 equipped with qx9300 and over clocked.

 

i mean gtx 280m version

 

1: 9800m gtx's over clocked
2: cpu stock
3: memory stock

hard to say, but it seems that..the better your vga and ram are..the higher the gpu score..over clocked cpu for over all score.

i use to think it was based on the fsb, but after tring this on an i7 at 4.5 ghz..vs a lower speed...the gpu's stayed pretty much the same..it wasn't untill i started uping my ram speed and changing the timings that i notice the gpu scores starting to seriousy change for the better...(work and understanding..still in progress.)

 

i am kindda new here, do u mean ur graphic card ram or ur actual laptop ram speed and by the way what does vga stand for.

 

Guys- I went to Frys tonight toting the big rig, and tested all the bags they sold. As you recall, I bought a Booq Mamba bag and it didn't come close to fitting. Actually, almost all bags don't fit this monster. I found a shoulder bag that fit the m17, but it was heavy as crap. So, I ended up getting this Swiss bag and it fits great, and looks great. I think u guys would be happy with it. Plenty of storage for other stuff too. Very sturdy.

I told you so man!

Just kidding. The swiss gear bag is very nice.

 

Is the lappy really THAT big? lol

 

not a problem
i mean the ram and not the video ram
vga= video graphics array

nice bag

 

That looks just like the bag I have for my M1710. So need for me to buy a new bag. And that bag is nice.
