GTX 480M SLI benchmarks

I just saw them today.
Only Deviltech offers them so far. Funny thing is it's only offered in the Hellbook DTX. The Hellbook DTX doesn't even have a notebook processor as an option LOL. Your lowest is i7-950.

So 20k in 3Dmark 06, 60FPS in Uniengine, 23 in Metro2033, 30 in Crysis (no AA though).

Thoughts?

There's also the EON17 which features SLI 480m's.

17.3 Full HD Widescreen, 16.9, 1920 x 1080
Up to Intel Core i7 980X Desktop Processors
Up to Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M Video Cards in SLI
Up to 24GB of Triple Channel DDR3 Memory
Up to Three Hard Drives
Full Size Keyboard with Numeric Key Pad
HDMI In and Out; Optical Digital Out, and 7.1 HD Audio
Touch Sensitive Multi-Gesture Pad and Instant Access Buttons

 

Just hope the 480m cards don't melt the plastic casing on your laptop

 

All built off the Clevo X7200 chassis, mighty cool laptop.

 

Now let's see a 460M SLI, or a 470M machine roll off the production line.

 

You can do dual 460m's on the EON17, it'll save you $1,300 over the dual 480m's too.

 

whoops wrong thread

 

I don't know, 20k seems good but considering that you can squeeze 18k out of an m15 on 3dmark06... Well, quite frankly, is it really worth it? I don't really see it having the best OC abilities (runs hot enough already), probably weighs more than an m17x so not exactly portable... Hardly gonna be any battery life worth mentioning...

Just seems like you're getting the performance of an average desktop pc (ok maybe above average ) without much of the advantages that notebooks are supposed to give, all at an exorbitant price. But then the people who would buy this wouldnt care about the price I suppose

 

How do you squeeze 18k out of m15?

 

30 FPS on Crysis seem pretty disappointing. That can be pulled off with 5870s at 1920 by 1200. I thought 3DMark06 was mainly depended on CPU instead of GPU. Vantage would be a better choice to really test them IMO.

 

If you have an i7-920/940xm, a 5850, and a lot of balls.

Alienware M15x ... My M15x Benchmarks!!OCZ doesn't support HDTune so I submitted it with ATTO. OCZ has even mentioned that other benchmarking tools for the ...

18,107 on 3dmark06

 

i can get 20k out of my m17x with 4870s & and i7-640 cpu. this thing better get around 30k 3d06 for it to be worth anywhere near the cost for those cards.

 

You can't really compare 18k unstable OCed bench, that potentially causes damage to the machine, and such that no one uses the clock in everyday usage (that guy's probably lucky his machine didn't die on him at that clock within his benchmarking period of time), to un-OCed, stable 22k.

 

And don´t rely too much on 3D Mark 06 scores, that benchmark program is outdated by now. Try Vantage instead that is more up to date. Also better yet compare real in game benchmarks that´s where the performance counts, not in any synthetic benchmark.

 

u know...i kept hearing some hoopla about how the 480M is a portable oven blah blah blah. that got me a bit paranoid, at first. now, i'm like...where the heck do these ppl get this jibberish from cuz my 480M runs some 20*c LOWER than my 8600M GT, in my m1530. even after 30-45 mins of starcraft 2, my m1530 would peak in the mid 80*c range. my NP8850's CPU and GPU are barely peaking at 64*c - 65*c after 4-5 hours of straight gameplay.

u guys also have to remember that those 480M SLI benches aren't even showin their "real world" numbers. it's brand new, so there's no drivers to optimize the SLI performance yet.

 

No offense to anybody here, but there are too many imaginary users and way too many ATI fanatics, who would make their assumption based on some pure TDP numbers. The 460M in Asus G73W and 480M in your Sager all run very cool, don't know why people are simply ignoring the obvious fact.

I've read the review, the test unit more or less clobbers any CF 5870m configuration with an identical CPU on almost all games all round.

The question is, how many people will fork out the price premium, increased weight and even shorter battery life for the increased performance?

 

You won't have to sacrifice much when you get the 480M sli on a mobile platform. Right now they have a smaller battery and a desktop CPU and chipset. It IS the ultimate in mobile power, make no mistake. For that power yes you give up some. But put 480/485M sli on a 940XM and you'll get much of the power and very little of the battery life hit.

Clevo has always beaten Dell to the punch with new GPU's. If you need the full desktop platform this is a fantastic machine. If not, wait and see, both Clevo and Dell will manage SLI 480M on a mobile I7 in a bit more time.

 

Had to do some housecleaning. Sorry that I might have thrown the baby out with the bath water.

Best bet going forward... stay on topic and don't feed the trolls.

 

What an amazing machine. Desktop i7 X, and the X58 chipset. All mobile intel chipsets are limited to v1.1 PCI-E speeds, can look it up if you want, so X58 with it's full 6.5 GB/s one way, very nice. I think this is the one thing I would want, the X58 chipset or intel unlocking the full potential of PCI-E 2.1 for mobile chipsets also! While the benchmarks are incredible, 100 FPS in Stalker COP, I think I would avoid any SLI and CF just from the thousands of posts everyday posted in Nvidia, ATi and gaming forums about multi-GPU issues.

Reading the Anandtech review, the downsides seem to be extensive. Substantially louder than any of his desktop machines topping out at 53db and regularly 47 db while gaming. Everything with this machine is large!

 

Well it is GEN2 but the p55m only has 8 lanes.

 

I don't know why Intel only implemented a crippled version of Gen2 in it's chipsets. Just cheap?

 

Could have some power saving benefits or package footprint benefits.

They need to do an X58M that has more lanes.

 

That score is rubbish, my single gtx480m is doing 22-28 fps in crysis, and warhead at highest settings! The card is slightly overclocked

Core: 505mhz
Shader: 1010mhz
Memory: 1310mhz

 

@lawtq
thats the reason i m never willing for SLI in laptop.
Double the power usage but not essentially double the performance!Thats dissappointing!
