*Official ASUS W90Vp Owners' Lounge*

So I'm back, didnt see anyone post the happy "I ordered mine from Egg" yet, so I'm not that angry.... Quad, share some happy thoughts about your W90 Tell us that it runs Crysis on super high with 93FPS and never drops below 80

 

Lol wish i could my friend but i have my work cut out for me until i get an understanding of how these ATI drivers work. To many years of Nvidia so this is going to take some getting used to . But so far the machine is very nice,its built like a brick **** house Overclocked to 17% and got a 15324 3d mark
nothing special yet but its a start . Most of all no dead pixels that i can see or find /happy dance .

 

Well, so long as it balances the W90 well enough... that's fine.
But yeah a 2nd stand could be needed and maybe some cross braces too

 

BTW, Here's a few pic's of my setup

 

Jamiee thats a biga** screen you got there!! Looks awesome. I can imagine running games like that, must be nice

 

Does anybody have a direct benchmark comparsion in crysis between the ASUS W90Vp-X1 vs the W90vp-A1

 

Hmmm my Asus software on my X1 only allows me to go up to 15%? Why wouldn't they be the same?

 

Thats a good question and it was the first i checked on when i fired up the turbo . Stupid question but i didnt see 17% till i scrolled it down on the right of that little tab, do you have that scroll in the little pop down window ?.

 

Yeah Mine does 17% too.
(Which apparently seems stable now after disabling SpeedStep in the BIOS)

 

Yeah it's a 40" Sony Bravia "Z". I run it off my desktop PC.
At some point I'll have to try hooking up the W90 to it.

I just installed Synergy the other day so now I only need to use one mouse and keyboard across both computers. Excellent bit of software IMO!

 

oh that is awesome 40"screen! Is it 1080p? Does performance of a game decreases drastically on that screen?

 

Well the A1's only clock up to 5% with a Qx9300 atm so i figured it is based entirely on the processor you have installed, but since he has the same Proc it should be the same i would think.

 

Yup indeed it's 1080p 120Hz.
So long as your PC can handle 1920x1080 res. Gaming shouldn't be a problem.
I certainly have no slow-downs gaming on it

 

Lol ya it would and it would be even crazier if he never bothered to check his CPU speed in any of the applications he ran . Stranger things have happpened .

 

Without BluRay and the second HDD. Doh! >.<

 

maybe he didnt notice those either

 

I want ONE!!!! WHen????

 

Sorry I broke down

 

I've heard of sleep-walking, but sleep-notebooking...... C'mon.... ???

 

You order an A1?

 

I don't want a quad.... I've been chasing X1 for 3 weeks now

 

Maybe after looking, he's too embarrassed to post...

...did we guess it?!



:rofl




Asus April Fooled him?

 

Like others out there I am going nuts waiting.

In the meantime I am looking for a decent HDTV/Cable compatible tuner for it. Currently I am leaning towards the AVerTV Volar Max, but I have never had one before so I am flying blind. Any suggestions?

 

I still do not agree with any reason to turn them off, mind you I have a P5Q with a q6600 and I have a rock solid 3.6ghz overclock that is stable with all 4 cores at 100% for hours on end.

 

When I left it enabled I had some crashes with monitoring applications, I can't remember which ones. With it turned off, I'm stable. Glad yours is solid but I know it didn't work completely on mine and there are other tales around the internet of similar situations.

 

all comes down to what other software one runs on his or her's computer...

 

Anyone have a screenshot of this 1080p Very High Crysis run that shows 30fps? The one on Xotic's forum only shows 21fps, but I've seen a 30fps run referenced in several topics.

 

yeah, it was ran at half gamer and half mainstream

 

Kevins offical review of the X1 states 30fps and has a screen shot of it.

However keep in mind Crysis varies greatly depending on the stage your on and what is happening around you. If I remember correctly the snow stage was the lowest fps and almost nobody will bench it since its later in the game.

The best thing to do is run the benchmark and loop it 3+ times and take the average. Then post the low,avg,high numbers.

I'll do this for sure but probably somebody will beat me too it.

 

i just addressed that vicious... in the review thread.

 

everybody knows about the origianl crysis benchmark tool, I should mention there is one for warhead out also but it seems to be less known.

 

you need hardwareOC crysis warhead benchmark v1.1.1

the .24 to .32 benchmarking tool is garbage

 

sorry for the double post.

here is the link to dual 4870s with heat sink off. the one where no one wanted to take the paste off.

nice i'll check it out. though I plan to bench the first crysis not warhead since thats the one I own, also its supposed to be less optimized so should give us a worst case situation.

I played through warhead and did not like it as much as the first one.

 

man, any thing you bench, post, examine or run though is more than welcomed with open arms!

oh, and quadzilla will be putting it through the paces as well.

 

i'll have every game I used in the g50v review and that was like 10 or so games + a few others possibly.

wprime
3dmark06
3dmark08
geekbench
hdtune
vista wei - lol i know

it will be broken down into 4 or 5 games + apps pure stock drivers & settings.

Then everything will be optimized with overclock & drivers (if I manage to change the drivers) and done again so you can see the gains.

Thats the plan for the basic review, then I will probably revisit with Windows 7 results to see if they are higher/lower for 4 - 5 games again + apps.

Add the usual massive photo shoot and write up that could pass for a college essay and call it a day (or more literally a week or two)

 

then once you finish with all that and take a day or two off for rest....
the hard core benching begins...lol

 

Sounds good. Can't wait for your reviews. Probably ditch my G50VT-A1 for this W90Vp by xmas. Looks like a BEAST!!!

 

Guys can someone pm Justin and ask him when p5797 will be coming? please.

 

how come you can't pm him?

 

I figured he'd give me a generic answer, and maybe since he knows you he would give you an honest answer.

 

Ok, so if I can get the NewEgg model (A1 I believe) actually ordered I will be happy. Can someone take a photo of this think next to something for reference lol, like another laptop or hell even next to your iPhone. I am just curious about size is all. I have found the second HDD i want (7200 RPM 500GB Seagate) and I cant find any bluray players from places I am comfortable purchasing from online (tigerdirect, newegg etc) anyone have any ideas of where I can pick one up from? Congrats on getting your machines guys, looking forward to getting mine in the future (cmon NewEgg, get them in stock already!!)

page one of this thread.

hadis
jason is a straight up guy, he will give you an answer to the best of his ablility.

 

This is where I got my blu-ray ROM drive from: http://www.fazecomputers.net/servlet/StoreFront

Just make sure the one you get is 12.7mm and uses the S-ATA interface.

PS. Newegg sells the W90Vp-X1 model


....off to work I go....

 

+1 to that. Justin is the coolest CEO I've ever met, and also the only one that's ever personally messaged me. Ordered one week, and was treated like I was on some sort of VIP list after that.

 

Wow, it has been so long since I have actually been to page one I never say all the updates lol thanks. and thanks for the site for the BR drive. Dell has the 500GB 7200rpm HDD's available (NewEgg doesnt) if anyone is interested in one of those.

 

All high run crysis 1920x1080




Crysis very high all Not bad maybe with new drivers one day we could hit 30fps .





im still coming to grips with this ATI stuff but ill start throwing numbers up as i get them .





Vantage default erformance setting

 

Is that at native res? O.O

 

Nah at 1280x1024 . i dont have the registered version of 3d06 just vantage so i cant change the res in the demo version of 06 .

 

Impressive, Quad. Looking forward to seeing Vicious' A1 marks, and hopefully getting mine here in a few weeks.
