ASUS G73JH-A1 with ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5

looks overclocked to me

661 core

850 memory

the cpu is @ 3.3Ghz which would absolutely demolish an i7 720QM

 

Hmm...

1. Vantage is strictly DX10, and
2. Vantage was used to benchmark a DX11 part (i.e., the Mobility Radeon 5870)???

 

yes because DX11 is brand new

 

3870 stock is 660/850 so thats stock 3870s...

 

the gpu is stocked.i had a whitebook. and 6400-6600 on the gpu score stock is feasible.

 

oops, well then depending on how cpu heavy vantage which i dont think it is as much as 3dmark 06... the 5870 could be definitely be faster than the 3870x2

all i need is a mobile 720QM vantage cpu score

 

with the whitebook and the 3870x2 pumping clock speeds from a quad will not increase your gpu score. now if you pumped a dual core. (and i mean break 3.5ghz or higher) you will see an increase in the gpu score. compared to the 48series. not sure about the 58series.

just found out i7 scores almost double what core 2 quads in vantage (never used it more than once because the benchmark sucks as it is)

http://service.futuremark.com/resultComparison.action?compareResultId=890339&compareResultType=19

heres a score with the 4850x2 and a core i7 920 at stock but it cant be up to date as its too low of a score

3DMark Score
P7693 3DMarks
CPU Score
N/A 17144
Graphics Score
N/A 6498

 

i'm sorry do you have one with an ati card. they could of used physx on that. unless that's official.....

the last run with the 4850x2. crossfire isn't enabled btw so people arent cunfused...

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

ha, lets hope not.

* Intel Core i7-920XM Processor
* 4GB DDR3-1333 (2x2GB) DRAM

The Performance settings were used for testing, so a resolution of 1280x1024 was used.

Would these data be reasonable for comparison?

http://www.notebookforums.com/3DMark Vantage-laptop-benchmarks.html

 

yes, those are good comparisons

with 10K for mobility 4870s i guess 7.26k isnt that bad

mobility 5870 isnt as fast as id hoped

 

hmm 5870 will be properly faster by 25% than GTX280m it seems i say

AsusG51Vx NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M 3DMark Vantage 4,230 without overclocking!
G73 +7k not bad even if it was overclocked

 

A little late to the party...

This new lappy looks sweet. I might have to add this to my shopping list

 

!! go ahead!!

 

sounds about right

i dont see how the 5870 is 1600SP/256-bit GDDR5

 

The benchmark is not accurate though according to many people, it tend to favor Nvidia cards over Ati or so some say

We need hands-on review with real games benchmarks

 

yeah, if the score of 7260ish vantage is accurate, then it's most likely a juniper core (128 bit, 800SP, GDDR5). Would be kinda disappointed as ATi in the past always derived their mobile parts from the corresponding desktop parts (which is why there isn't a mobility 2900 card), but as I mentioned earlier, I expected this because there is pretty much no competition from nVidia. No incentive for ATi to drop monsters in the mobile field although looking at the thermal specs of the desktop 58xx cards, it isn't much different from the 48xx cards.

Looks l;ike date moved to 2nd quarter.....thats a bit to far ahead to pre order for me.

 

Thread dies a little inside.

 

you think it is a 128bitbus over a 256bit bus because there is no competition?

 

I think a lot of us here died a little inside from seeing that =P they have have FALSE information.

 

Maybe we expected too much? I can't believe release date is delayed though.

 

Which information are you considering false. The 128/256 bit info? The Q2 Release Comment?

What is the real information? Maybe we actually have to wait to find out, and hold out...

 

Q2
10chars..

 

2nd Quarter!!!
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Can resellers please confirm!!

 

I can live with Feb, but I do not want to live with Q2, and I also do not want to live with 128 bit bus either. Striker supposedly verified the 256 claim a while back, however I have seen no other public information to back that up.

Anyone know this for certain and have actual evidence?

 

From the screenshots I've seen, it looks almost like an Alienware crossed with a Clevo. I the dual fans finally get temperatures under control.

Because it would probably only last five minutes. WOKKA WOKKA WOKKA.

 

I am quite glad I dident jump on it right now

 

Where did Q2 come from?

What I said was it has been pushed back to February, not Q2.

 

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/01/asus-gaming-notebook/

Let me quote

" Priced at $1,700, the G73Jh will be available early second quarter of this year, according to Asus."

Right there

So...glad I dident go on all the hype....

 

wired[dot]com article http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/01/asus-gaming-notebook/

 

There was a wired article that made that statement. It seems to be misinformation. Donald, are you able to confirm the specs on the GPU bit bus at 128 or 256?

 

Hmmm, the press is not my favorite source for accurate information.

 

And we should believe yours because..................

 

I believe it will be 256bit, but until we actually get it in country no one can really confirm it.

 

How do we know that is mis information...maby Donald has mis information...

 

Because that is the information that was provided to him directly from ASUS.

...not to say they could/would not push it back again tomorrow, that is just the most current information he has.

 

yea plus the article has Apple and awesome in the same sentence, so really can't trust it

 

And wired says it was provided to them by asus......your point being what ?

 

Just a note, Donald's only here to help. If he does have any information that happens to be inaccurate, I'm sure he didn't mean to provide incorrect information.

Perhaps it might wind up like the w90? With only a trickle at first?

 

I was not implying he was being maliscious..I was stating the latest info is Q2.... and poeple jumped all over me for saying that. Donald COULD have bad info ya know.

 

Okay, I can confirm neither so you proved your point, you win. Glad you did not pre-order

phew....

note the resolution stated for the vantage run.

 

ATI is on a roll and it would be not the greatest move to shove a 128 bit into their high end card

 

That is true. And that was precisely my point. If Donald turns out to be wrong, it's simply bad info.

No need to jump on anyone, reseller or user.

 

Stop the hate-child...we all want shiny things, and The Donald was just sharing the information he was updated with. For all we really know, this laptop may be a myth. Until you hold it in your hand, I would remain a skeptic, and keep your pre-order money in your pocket.

My pre-order has been placed and will remain that way.
