GTX 900M series officially announced by NVIDIA!!!

I shall add the 675M and 675MX were indeed chips

 

Hi Larry,


For my Sager I got a SLAPPA Velocity Matrix Backpack for notebooks up to 17.3", and it fits nicely with lots of extra space, although, because of the size I haven´t been able to get a sleeve for it. Hope it helps.

Sager NP 8278-S | 17.3" 1920 x 1080 Matte | Intel i7 4810MQ 2.8 - 3.8 GHz | GTX 880m 8GB DDR5 | 8 GB RAM | 120 GB Crucial M500 mSATA SSD | 750 GB 7200 RPM [SATA II - 16MB Cache] | 6X Blu-Ray Burner + 8X DVDRW/CDRW Super Multi Combo Drive | Windows 7 64 bits |

 

Uhmmm, nope? (you mean 2 out of 6?)

285m, ok I forgot
485m, I mentioned
680mx is Apple exclusive

rest is as I said, there have been no x85m.

 

985m? 980MX? 1080M? We could call it Stanley for it actually matters.

The important question is; how many shader cores will it have? 2048 is the only logical answer, of course. Roughly equivalent to the TDP of the 780M.

Now, if it is released before the desktop 1000 series then it shall be named the 985M/980MX. If it is released after the desktop 1000 series, it shall be named the 1080M. Simple as that.

This is the point where NVIDIA pull an AMD and completely change the naming scheme for the fun of it and make me look like a fool

I wanna call it Stanley

 

From now on, when I talk about Stanley, you'll all know what I mean

would P1*0SM be able to rock 980m without heavly modded drivers?

 

It won't be 120W TDP like the 780M. The 780M was a severely downclocked (at stock anyway) 680, and the 980 has higher clocks, higher core count and higher memory clocks... but runs a TDP of 30W less than a 680? I am DEAD certain that a full GM204 chip will be a 100W chip which runs, AT WORST, as "hot" as the 680M. Which was for all intents and purposes, *THE* coolest flagship chip I've ever seen that is not already on Maxwell.

 

You need to mod the .inf of the driver ... but this operation take only 5 minutes.

 

Does this really work? and if so, does it work in a P1*0EM too?

 

First benchmarks of 5K iMac with brand new AMD Radeon M295X started to appear (should be the fastest mobile GPU from AMD for a quite some time, maybe not even available beyond Apple?).

They mostly just did some weird ones, the easiest ones I could find comparison numbers for are:

Cinebench R15 OpenGL 64 bits
----------------------------

Nvidia GTX 970M 131.6 fps
AMD Radeon M295X 105.6 fps <=
Nvidia GTX 880M 101.4 fps

So seems like Maxwells should be pretty safe, at least till AMD will not come with their 20 nm + HBM GPUs in 2015.

 

These new maxwells seem to be awesome... BUT I'll wait for the 16nm gpus I think, no money for a long time

 

"Does this really work? and if so, does it work in a P1*0EM too? "


Prema says that the card will be compatible with first gen of P1XXSM.
P1XXSM and P1XXSM-A are almost the same, i have cross-flashed (don't do this) my P170sm with the last P170SM-A bios, and it works almost well.
The laptop boot correctly and the only issue was that the illuminated keyboard didn't illuminate anymore ... so i flash my backup P170sm Bios.

He doesn't confirm the P1XXEM compatibility.

 

Btw what's the ETA on Stanley Junior's delivery? I am reeeaaaally looking forward to your review!!

 

I think Q2 2015 due to every laptop manufacture saying oh our laptops are compatible with the next gen nvidia GPUs

 

Oh no, it was an inside joke, cakefish will get it

 

so whats the 3dmark 11 oc score? please

 

Is there any other alternative to the MSI GS60/GS70 expect the Gigabyte P35 v3's?
I want a thin notebook for gaming with atleast an 970M

 

Wait for alienware event on 27th, maybe maybe they have something other than 13"? Very low chance though

 

Alienware would be too expensive.
I dont wanna spend more than 1600€

 

They might come out with a 3k/4k 18" or 17" panel

 

Just a heads up: nVidia's DSR is *NOT* available for us yet. The new drivers today allowed for the option in my friend's 680 SLI machine but it's absent from my 780M SLI machine.

On the left is my buddy's NCP and on the right is mine.


On a happier note, here is a baby goat in a sweater.

 

yeah that was sort of predicted before that a mobile tonga will match an 880m face to face, but against the 900 series...

 

You just cant be sad after seeing that picture

 

If anyone plans on purchasing the Gigabyte P34W v3-CF2 (14" IPS with 970M), please post a quick review and some game-play videos. I'm going to be purchasing a portable system as I'm moving around much more lately, and I want a very portable powerhouse. That's on a list of PC's I have in mind.

Much appreciate, thanks.

 

you dont want the p35x ? or are you worried it will throttle?

 

It's the P34 (new series). Only available for pre-order right now.

I'm worried about heat and noise. And yes, throttling is on my list of concerns due to heat. (The 4710HQ should perform well enough for the 970M.) The Gigabyte is closer to the bottom of list, but it's on it. Most Gigabyte PC's I've seen are loud and hot, so I'm assuming this one will be as well.

 

the p35x is the new series too (v3) and is the 980m 15"'r

 

I'm looking for something around 13" or 14" for class and work. That size is perfect for lecture halls. I'm not looking for a 13" or 14" gaming laptop, per say. I just want something that can game if I have time to do so. My hope is that Maxwell is cool enough to not be a nuisance when in a quiet room, but that also depends on Gigabyte's cooling.

 

Not considering gs60? It looks amazing on reviews as well, crazy good build quality!

 

have you seen the upgradability of the gs60 unitS?

 

Yea I have been the person complaining about it the past few days Thing is, if you want that kinda specs you gotta do some magic, that's what msi did

 

we are talking about top end cards not med high

look here. We are not comparing series but arch Gens

285 doesn't count because its just an OC version...not a bigger die.

there were only 4 arch gens between 200 and 700 series. Go back and read my post again and look at wikipedia to compare die sizes. 2/4 times they offered larger chips after they released the first arch gen x80m card. 680mx/780/880 are the exact same card. A BIGGER version of the 680m. So considering we won't see another arch before pascal/die shrink. It is safe to say there will be a 985m or maybe next near they call it a 1080m. Either way the end result is the same.

 

how is it magic? its just clever marketing to pigeon wall you in paying the most when you buy it at day 1

 

Hmmm still nope? I am saying there hasn't been x85m except for the 285m and 485m (with I forgot 285m). I am *not* saying per generation, I am saying per release. I know 680mx is the same as 780m. But they are in different release, 680mx wasn't available for any pc, it was Apple exclusive. So I would cross that off the list.

EDIT: Also from now on for me it is Stanley

 

Would the 4810mq bottleneck 980m SLI. Is it worth it to pay the $300 extra for a 4910mq?

 

It won't bottleneck it. If you plan to keep the system for more than two years, then grabbing the 4910MQ may be worth it. Upgrading it yourself is more costly.

 

you are changing your story. We were talking about if their was going to be a bigger chip, which you claimed their wouldn't be. I provide that there has been 2/4 times in the last 4 gens (7 series) that a bigger chip was made. Series and x85m numbering is irrelevant. Quite being willfully ignorant already. You are just making yourself look bad at this point.

Depends on the game and settings. Do you plan on playing at high res? Do you play older games? Do you play single threaded games? My 7970m is bottlenecked by my 3920xm in several games. Natural Selectino 2 is a CPU hog. So the question is what games do you play. If my 3920xm is bottle necked that CPU may be bottlenecked.

For a mere 300 bucks i would get it but it depends on how much money you have and how much single thread operations you do.

 

what were you playing...

 

sorry updated my post. NS2, any old signle thread game will throttle like no other. If you play Source at 4k...good luck Or try playing source at 120 FPS will be very hard depending on whats going on.

PVK2 and CS source can have a hard time maintaining 60+FPS let along 120.

 

I'm between P35X and X7 Pro. I just want to know the temps!!!

 

and fan speeds

 

Try PlanetSide 2 and World of Tanks.

 

A single-threaded game, lol? That's extremely rare and practically non-existent these days.

 

A lot of games that are still DX9 are single-threaded since draw calls are handled on only a single CPU core.

 

Good thing we're not speaking technically.

And doesn't a single CPU core have two threads? Hyper-threading enables two threads per core.

 

The CPU could be a bottleneck in even single 980m SLI systems, however this will be dependent more on the game itself than the graphics settings you use. Also it normally will occur at fairly high FPS. Even a i7-4710 will only rarely be a bottleneck until you are over 60 FPS.

The i7-4810 is only a little more expensive though and almost certainly worth it. The i7-4910 is significantly more expensive though, so its worth is more dependent on your usage. The real question being: Are you going to have it hooked up to a 120hz monitor or a VR headset. If you are, then get the i7-4910, if you aren't then stick with the i7-4810.

Alternatively if you are spending over $4500 on the laptop it might be worth it instead of getting a 3rd SSD drive or something.

 

I thought GW2 was very cpu dependent and using directX9 ?

 

I'm thinking about picking up two cards from rjtech. This wait for Xotic is killer.

No wonder. DX9 is horrible for MMO's due to poor CPU multi-threading like I said, easily get bottlenecked by draw calls because of the sheer number of objects. When WoW got DX11 upgrade, FPS increased by 50% normally and up to 100% in raids. PlanetSide 2 is a DX9 MMOFPS and has massive performance issues.
