Someone should make this the official thread or copy the content on the post above to whatever thread it becomes.
I think its a good summary

 

I'm Ignorant, Can someone explain to me why the mobile chips no longer support gsync ?

 

Have they ever supported G-sync?
The problem is that you need a PCB with controllers and stuff to do the G-Sync magic on notebook displays. So far I havent seen any notebooks with that. Who knows, maybe someone will add it this year?

 

Oh i was talking about external displays, i have a pg278Q and was hoping to ditch the desktop this gen. I know at first the 870m/880m supported gsync but it was removed later on.

 

Good news, thanks.

Oh and by the way I'm subscribing to this thread so you guys play nice

 

Gigabyte P34 v3 comes with 6GB GTX 970M :
XOTIC PC | GIGABYTE P34Wv3-CF2 - 14.0" Gaming Notebook with GTX 860M

I want you!

 

can someone put links for online websites that sell the new gt72-2qe equipped with the 980m in germany ?
please respond as fast as possible as i am going to make a friend of mine get it to me from there

 

AnandTech | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M and GTX 970M: Mobile to the Maxwell

Overview

 

Ever hear of Google?

 

my budget can only get me a 970m with 3gb , how much worse is it than it's 6gb counterpart?

 

Very nice, with the official announcement, now we will have a flood of information pouring in very very soon haha

 

It will perform the same. More VRAM doesn't increase performance. The 6GB variant may last longer, though. As in, it will be more "future proof."

 

Does Anyone here have any leaks/ inside information on - whether Clevo will be updating their models?

XoticPC: All of them are last year's models. They are just giving an option to upgrade the GPU by replacing the 880M.
CLEVO website: They haven't updated anything.

I thought Clevo will update all their models w.r.t new GPUs which they usually do (Build design, mobo, power, cooling, weight parameters). I thought the new models will be lighter, with new port design, architecture with cooling updates not to mention a smaller power adapter due to new GPUs.They haven't done it this time and thats frustrating. Are they still under some NDA or they will only replace GPU's using the last year's models? Information from users and resellers appreciated. :hi2:

 

1st , thanks for being a smartass
2nd , google doesn't display any websites that are listing the models that we see in this thread . i need someone german to give me more accurate information
3rd , if you can elaborate or help , please do .if you can't , please stay away .

 

95 watt 970m and 125watt 980m did I read that right?

 

hahaha look at all that power, too bad 1400-2160p laptops aren't going to be mainstream till a couple of years from now after phones lead the way.

 

Gieff gs60 + 970m - currently i havent seen a single offer from Polish resellers

 

Just took a look on Xoticpc, and I noticed there are gtx970 with 6g VRAM on multiple laptop, which I believe their graphic card are soldered.

 

OriginPC EVO15-S has an option for 970M 6GB now

EVO15-S Ultra Thin Gaming Laptop - ORIGIN PC

I was considering this laptop since its uses GS60 Ghost Pro shell but never decided since the person who ordered it cancelled due to the rumors of 900M coming out soon a month back or so. Hopefully, someone will get one and do a review this time around. =)

 

GTX 970M benchmarked :
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M - Notebookcheck.com Technik/FAQ

 

Why the new Aorus X7 can't have each single 970M card come with 6GVRAM? That should be good for future. Or are they afraid the new set up is gonna boom? Or the current information is not correct?

Do u have any idea what's the deal of Origin PC, some said is just a front of some other laptop and OPC charge a sky high price?

 

Good news, MSI GS60 Ghost Pro will also have versions with 1080p screens and 6 GB VRAM GTX 970M:

MSI USA GS60 Ghost Pro (GTX 970M)

Sidenote: as graphics programmer I recommend to get 6 GB / 8 GB versions of GTX 970m / 980m. Independently of what you think of the current games requirements / quality of console ports, modern graphics techniques in future games titles will benefit from more VRAM (screen resolution / framebuffer size is only small part of the story, extrapolating requirements solely based on resolutions, textures and techniques used in current games is wrong).

I'm looking at xotic or origin. The main thing holding me back is getting the IC Diamond put onto the GPU/CPU along with the Killer Wireless. Those 2 are tipping Xotic in favor for me. It is hard because I really want the Origin

 

Why do you want the Origin one over the MSI? Are they not the same thing? Just curious ...

Do you know where to get the Gold Edition 1080p 15.6 with 970m and 6GB VRAM?

 

Why do you want origin so bad? Am I missing something. Do you just like the logo.

I might pick one of these today.

The only thing hanging me back is possibly going with 970m SLI. Slick and powerful still very nice ...

 

Maybe I'm just capitvated by the Origin marketing. Coming in a wooden crate! I should probably get over that and just grab the msi.

 

From the benchmarks I`ve seen so far, it looks like GTX 980M is leaps ahead of GTX 880M:
Bioshock Infinite
+46%

Metro Last Light
+85%
Nvidia Maxwell GPUs Bring Desktop Power to Gaming Notebooks

Sleeping Dogs
+46%

Tomb Raider
+51%

Can`t wait to see what Notebookcheck and Anandtech finds out

 

Anyone seen the new Clevo P65xSE/G available yet?

 

any chance i can get an msi,asus or gigabyte 970m 6gb for 1400-1500$?

 

Yes, and I'll be sure to try and keep the first post as up to date and organised as possible!

 

I don't know why the pricing is so high this time. It was actually cheaper back then I believe.

You can email OriginPC CS and request for IC Diamond. They will tell you they use something else but if you ask nicely they will do it for you.

OriginPC was actually cheaper than MSI and it looks way better, IMHO. Plus, with MSI, you have to order the 3-4k LCD version to get 900M compared to OriginPC where its 1080p. Windows sucks at font upscaling currently and I have no need for 3 or 4K LCD when I will game in 1080p.

 

So then it just comes down to Killer wireless?

I was able to get the MSI 1080p with 970 6gb no problem. Price is actually comparable to Origin.

 

Given how important Wifi is to me, I think the MSI wins out. I checked with Origin just now and they can't customize on that.

 

A comment in this thread has me wondering - will a GTX 970/980m support GSYNC via displayport to an external display?

 

Where are you ordering yours from?

Can you over night it?

Can we get them now?

Which one has killer card?

I want 1080p matte screen 970 6GB Card. 15.6

Can I order this now and have it overnighted?

 

Origin says the 28th ...

Where can I get one shipped overnight now?

 

I'm getting mine from Xotic.
It has the Killer card and 1080P. They can do rush processing.
I've placed my order and will be watching it go. Though I didn't rush process it.

 

In Neverland?

Unless you sip tea or play golf with the CEO of the manufacturers or retailers, you're not getting anything right now. Do you have any idea how many orders they have to fill before allowing customers to grab them...? Spamming this thread is not going to help you get it any faster.

 

And we got some more official info about new Gigabyte models:

Gigabyte P35W v3 (GTX 970M, 6GB VRAM, 1080p)

AORUS Gaming Laptop X7 Pro

According to Notebookcheck P35W, P35X and X7 Pro should be available since November 2014.

Then later on 14" model will come, called P34W v3 (with GTX 970M) available in December 2014 (not yet on Gigabyte official site).

Expected prices (in Germany, so assume end-consumer prices, 19% VAT included):

Those laptops are a bit overpriced, lol.

Did they make desktop Maxwell cheaper and mobile Maxwell more expensive?

 

Did they mention time frame?

I would order the SLI model right now if I could.

Do you know of a site where I can do that?

 

And first availability info from one of resellers using those new thin Clevo 65X models (25 mm height, 2.6 kg):

Gonna send that email off to Xotic now... Lol

I've been scouring YouTube for videos but everyone is misleading us by writing "980M" in the titles and gaming with lower cards, lol.

 

Still only a future model, though... or am i not seeing the preorder link?

Ask for pics of the GS60 with 970m cooling system, while you're at it!
