    I am trying like hell but the closest I got was 14890, but anyways I easily play every game out there, even Crysis on all high settings.

    What exactly is ntune? Is it for overclocking GPU's and CPU's?
    I am sort of new to this stuff and I don't want to fry my system.If it is what would be a safe level to start off at?
    I also got a new NZXT Cryo laptop cooler to keep things at a safe level.

    Does anyone have non-synthetic benchmarks of the 9600M GT (DDR3) vs 9700M GT?

    I've read that the 9600 can be OC'd to 9700 speeds. Would that increase temps and decrease battery life?

    Hi Ikas V, I edited a reaction in a previous post, but you might have not noticed it. I'll repost it here :
    edit :
    I'm sorry if you allready mentioned this, I'm new here and I see the forum is very alive, cycling through all posts seems impossible :p

    nTune is like an add-on to the nVidia Control Panel.
    Basicly it adds the ability to change the Core and Memory clocks/frequencies, control the GPU fan (if you have one), perform stability tests and Tune System, which I have been told to avoid.
    Heres a screenshot of the page you will use most frequently out of them all:
    nTune

    What temps are you getting, are you overclocking at all?

    No overclocking yet Manic, but it seems very appealing.
    I will give the nTune a shot.
    What's a safe level to start off on?
    These temps were taken about an hour into surfing the net.
    Justanotherguy be well I do have a Q9650 and Crysis plays really well on high settings, barely any slowdown in SLI even during some heavy action.That's using 1920x1200 resolution.
    I don't know if Crysis is PhysX but I have tried UT3 and to tell you the truth I can't really tell a difference, using the original drivers(176.06) UT3 already played very good and after installing 179.92 drivers it's pretty much the same it does seem to run smoother but maybe it's all in my head.

    If you do want to overclock then you will need to get the max temps at the usual clocks first, run the most demanding game you have, all maxed out for ~30 minutes. Report back here with your results. This will determine whether or not it is a good idea (or not) to overclock.

    Two very helpful guides can be found here and here

    Jest, absolutely. Temps shouldnt be too drastic, and if you're not gaming then you can set clocks back to original settings and run off battery.. Gaming off battery usually doesn't perform well anyhow. :)

    Absolutely! Whatcha got? :) Let's see your monsters unleashed..

    The supplier told me I'll receive it by thursday/friday. If there any specific programs you want me to run, I can make sure i'll have by the time i get the notebook. I've never really done benchmarking (did a 3DMark03 once on my acer ferrari) therefor i do'nt know what might be interesting to show.

    3Dmark06,3Dmark Vantage and maybe some game benchmarks for comparison :)
    Those would be good for starters

    Ordered it @ notebooktotaal.nl (netherlands).
    @E-wrecked, hows that 1066Mhz DDR3 ram doing? In which scenarios does it give advantage over 800Mhz memory? I've read it comsumes 30% less watt, can you notice that?

    nah, haven't ditched it yet. it's still the fastest 6860fx as of right now. and im done playing crysis, which was the only game i had to back down the settings on. but it ran fine running at 1920x1200 everything medium. looked great and nice frames. still debating though.... 7811 is looking very appealing but then so is tat sager and 3 hard drives... *LOL* i could do allot with that system!.

    yeah, them other gtx's we're using sli so i grabbed the ones in your close proximity. :)

    It´s pretty amazing looking at these 3D Mark 06 scores and desktop with a Core2Duo 2.93GHz, 2GB 833MHz Ram and a 8800 GTX at 612/1512/950 scores around 13000 in 3D Mark 06 and that´s with a single GPU.

    E-wrecked hey man what happen to your x305? I bought one because of your overclock post and the q guy, forgot his name that took one apart. Well I was looking forward to more posts of your experimenting with it, hope you still have it. And also what drivers have you tried on it besides Toshibas? I want to squeeze more performance from the 9700m gts. The gateway seems to be a nice notebook too.

    I thought you couldn't do RAID in a 7811-FX
    Also I am trying to use nTune to try and change the GPU settings, but when I press apply it reverts to the stock speeds, any ideas for how to set them to run faster?

    nTune 6.02 can only successfully overclock the shaders. Our only option at this point is the BIOS flashing.

    1: C:\Users\johnksss\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\nTune\Profiles
    (your user name and not mine of johnksss)
    2: you should see some profiles in there. right click on one of them and click open with notepad.
    3: it should look something like this:
    [BoardConfiguration]
    Version=200
    CPU=6fb
    MCP=65535
    SPP=65534
    GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280

    [ClockSettings]
    FSBMHZ=0
    AGPMHZ=0
    PCIe2MHZ=0
    CpuCore0Mul= 8.0
    CpuCore1Mul= 8.0
    CpuCore2Mul= 8.0
    CpuCore3Mul= 8.0
    CpuCore4Mul= 0.0
    CpuCore5Mul= 0.0
    CpuCore6Mul= 0.0
    CpuCore7Mul= 0.0
    TRAS=0
    TRCD=0
    TRP=0
    GPUCOREMHZ=602
    GPUMEMMHZ=1107
    GPUSHADERMHZ=1296

    [VoltageSettings]
    CPUVOLTAGE=-1
    NFORCEVOLTAGE=-1
    MEMVOLTAGE=-1
    AGPVOLTAGE=-1
    AUXVOLTAGE=-1
    CPUFAN=-1
    AUXFAN1=-1
    HTCPUSPPVOL=-1
    HTSPPMCPVOL=-1
    NFORCEFAN=-1
    AUX1FAN=-1
    AUX2FAN=-1
    GPUFAN3D0=41

    4: see where it says:
    GPUCOREMHZ=602
    GPUMEMMHZ=1107
    GPUSHADERMHZ=1296

    try changing these settings here. "example"
    GPUCOREMHZ=620
    GPUMEMMHZ=900
    GPUSHADERMHZ=1500

    5: then click "save as"
    overclock1.nsu

    6: then double click the file you just made. it will load the profile you just edited

    7: use gpuz to see if it took.

    the shader has to be at least twice the core clock or it wont take as well.
