    Hello guys, I’m going to buy Asus G50Vt in this configuration:

    T9400 – 2,5Ghz
    9800 GS
    1680x1050
    4096 dd2
    2x320 5400rpm hdd
    Blu-Ray Combo

    Got few questions
    How much this thing gets in 3dmark06 in default settings (1280x1024) with out overclock?
    How much this thing will get in CPU overclock and GPU overclock?

    It there any problem in overclocking GPU?

    Can anyone make this tests and submit excel file from 3dmark?

    Any problems with this laptop? Strange sounds? Overheat? Keyboard bugs? Anything that have more than one guy?

    BTW, I live in Russia, and this lappy cost 2400$, know that this pretty high price, but, we’ve got some economy problems so that’s best what I can get :/

    P.s. is there any “official thread” on this machine? I see lots of Little threats about it, but nothing big :(

    P.s. how it runs GTA4?

    As to the questions, there were some problems overclocking the earlier model G50V. I am not sure whether these extend to the G50Vt.

    No overheating, G50 is cool running.
    Keyboard bugs, yes, there may be the keylag problem -- there are many workarounds for it but no final solution I believe. Again, I am not sure it applies to the Vt submodel but there is a good chance that it does. See the Info Booth sticky for more details.

    Also, please do not cross-post, I have deleted your post on the owner's lounge. Thanks!

    The lag is hit and miss. I had no problems with it out of the box, but I do have some bad flex so some keys (mostly the backspace key) make a loud popping sound when struck hard (yes, I pound my keys :p)
