Nvidia GTX280M For Laptops!!

yea i knew one of them was the 9800m gtx thanks for the info +1

 

would it be possible at all do any of you think to put either the gtx 260m or gtx 280m into an M15X? like just fit it in, not talking heat or anything else, just fit it in and use it.

 

as far as i know they use differnt slots but it should fit ...?!?!? i think the 280m is mxm 3.0 n m15x supports mxm 2.0. WHIZZZO where are you ?

 

Here's some info on the GTX 280M, which is basically a desktop 9800GTX+ core:

A note about the GTX 200 series: Nvidia hasn't done anything significant with their architecture for a long time, we're basically using re-hashed GeForce 8-series architecture from 2006 that has been slightly tweaked and die-shrunk since then. The 9-series was almost a complete rebrand of the 8-series.

Nvidia has reached the end of the line with its current architecture; an excerpt from the article I linked above:

 

wont even support 10.1... pffffft

 

Both cards will fit, but the 280M will burn a hole in it.

The Clevo M860TU/Sager NP8660 will soon have the 260M as an upgrade option, so that's what the M15x would be looking at. Both cards are slated for early April.

 

ok, would the 260m be worth the upgrade, not immedietly, but by the end of the year? do you think that future card will also work in my m15x?

 

if AW ads the BIOS support for it, then probably.

Clevo had to make a BIOS update for their M860TU for the support of the GTX 260M.

 

When are those new GPUs coming to Alienware laptops?

 

Hopefully soon. Would be nice to have a GTX260/280 in the m15x !!

 

no one knows ..... im sure it will be every where when it does come out, so just keep coming back and when you see the thread gtx260 is here!!! i would say its in lol

 

How long did other GPUs take to appear in laptops?

 

.....

If the m15x can't even handle a 9800M GTX, it will explode if it uses a 260M/280M. Common sense prevails over wishful thinking.

 

Common sense also dictates that a 55nm core generates less heat than a 65nm core. So no, it won't explode and it may be possible to see either card in the M15x (probably the GTX 260M more likely seeing as it's being offered as a pre-order with the Clevo M86xTU chassis).

 

im not saying it will work .. im on the fence ...because there is hardly any real world info out....

 

why the big deal...it will not even support 10.1....

 

And who really even cares about 10.0?

 

its just something to argue about duh!!!! im not getting it ...cuz i know my 4870's will kill it

 

not i....but as Moo said, some people will argue about it...others may not.
it is simply one aspect of the card that will not be present as compared to the ATI....
take it for what you will....

 

PWNage!!!!

 

Then why downplay a card for not having 10.1?

I'm not trying to argue or anything, but....
