    On notebookcheck, 5830 on Hp Envy is higher than 230M but I saw Ati 5830 is bad.
    I have used 230M on DV6 i7 and it is good to play Call of Duty 6.

    Test with 3Planesoft Screensaver and Call of Duty 6.

    What's the hell with 5830 ??? I think this problem due to driver for 5830 not compatibility.
    And sound on envy is bad ! How can I scroll mouse ? Thank in advance.

    Sorry for images ! :)

    My overclocked 4830 is more than enough in my opinion ( 550/1050)

    How can I set these values for overclock ?
    As 230M and others graphic card, we don't need overclock and we can play game very smooth with max settings. So, what's the problem with 5830 ? :confused:

    I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to Call of Duty 6 or your computer, but for me... gaming with the ATI 5830 on the Envy 15 has been nothing short of simply awesome.

    I've been playing games like Mass Effect 2, NBA 2K10, etc. on max graphics settings... and it's just amazing. Gameplay is smooth and the details/graphics quality is just phenomenal. I mean, sure, if you have a pure gaming rig with an even better graphics card, you'll get better results. But, personally, I'm more than satisfied...

    The other downside is the heat (especially top left), but its tolerable. Not related to your problem though, heh.

    Thanks. I will try Mass Effect and what's the sound on your Envy ? I saw it's bad. Not good as sound on DV6 and HDX. And how can I scroll mouse ?

    TURN OFF ANTI ALIASING. Yes in bold caps. NO card currently available, except maybe the 5890, can max games with 8xAA at that resolution. It's not like 1366x768 is a monster res, but remember that each level of AA asks for double the video memory.

    You cannot get a mobile chip and ask for desktop performance, it's simply not going to happen, because it must use less power.

    I know that :eek: I have tried COD6 on DV6 with 230M graphic card. No problem with 230M.

    May be I would try MassEffect, Dirt2 or etc...

    Well, care to try lower details? :) And of course try some other games. Also do a benchmark at all defaults with 3DMark Vantage and see where you stack between similar configs. If the difference is large then there's something wrong with the driver like you said.

    Your screenshots show nothing of value.

    No resolution stated, no information about the setup CPU/Ram/Etc.

    We're taking your word as is about a videocard you don't have? Where is the data for the 230?

    And sound is bad? I smell troll. =P

    Well the resolution is obviously 1366x768. Other than that, yes, not much data indeed.

    I'm going with bad drivers or something.

    The Vantage GPU score of my 5830 is a little above what notebookcheck.net is showing for the GTX260M and when I overclock it I'm scoring 200 points higher than the GTX280M.

    While Vantage probably isn't the BEST comparison in this situation it's good enough to know that the 5830 should trounce the GT 230M without a problem. :eek:

    Yeah! I will try Ati game.
    Information: Core i7, 4Gb ram, HDD 320, Ati 5830.
    Not data for 230M because I have sold DV6 i7.
    Sound is too small (set max), not good as HDX or DV6 i7

    Check my specs in my sig. C&C3:KW, you can't crank the settings high enough. I've had 7 hard bots (even though I lose, it's still the most CPU intensive) and it was great at full everything. I also just ran Portal at high everything, 1920x1080, 2xMSAA, and it was smooth as silk. The 5830 should handle pretty much everything you throw at it. I'll try L4D2 eventually, don't have a bunch of time right now though.

    Shouldn't be. Even though it's the lowest i5, it's still a pretty quick CPU. If you can, I'd think the i5-520M would be a worthwhile upgrade for $50, but other than that, you should be fine. Since they can all handle 4 threads, that'll help with newer multicore games regardless of the clock speed. It may not be worth it if you're wanting to get the quick-ship.

    @ kyosan1988
    Would u plz show the benchmark result w/ 3DMark. I'm thinking about buying an Envy when I go to the States. The GPU is quite new, and ATI drivers always suck, so give ATI a little more time to deliver a better one.

    I looked @ the specs of 5830 card. It comes w/ 128 bit ddr3 VRAM. I think it causes the bottle neck. So try to over clock the memory to 1000 MHz and run the game again. Good thing is that the chip was manufactured w/ 40nm technology, so it has high ability to be OCed.

    OMG, I don't know why still ATI uses this kinda memory for its high-end modern product.

    I can run L4D2 1920 x 1080 max everything.

    Beautifully smooth. =D

    My Envy doesn't have 1280x1024 resolution.

    The newest version is Catalyst 10.1 (January 2010). ATI releases a driver monthly, but its drivers suck. You can download it from ATI's website.

    Connect your lappy to an external screen which supports 1280*1024 resolution to run 3DMark Vantage, or just simply use 3DMark 2006.

    P.s. Waiting for your benchmark result.

    ...because you cannot just install a desktop driver on a mobility gpu like that.
    ccc 10.1 is installed, but the driver is still the one used before.

    even worse, there is no known way to install the 10.1 driver on a notebook so far.

    get 9.12 and mod it using http://www.hardwareheaven.com/modtool.php
    since the driver architecture has changed from 9.12 to 10.1, the current mobility modder version doesnt support it and the guys at hardwareheaven are working on a new version of the mobility modder with assistance from the ATI developers, so as soon as thats done, you can get the new version of the mobility modder from the link above and install 10.1 or maybe 10.2 if already out.

    then you should be able to get far far far better results with that 5830 and a i7 cpu.

    and turn off that AA, inside ccc and the game itself!!! ..especially when on a notebook!!! once it works well without AA you can try turning AA on inside the game's settings, but not inside ccc!

    dont know exactly, but try the most recent one offered by hp on your envy model's download page (insert your model into the driver download form here http://www.hp.com/#Support, then choose your OS and look for the IDT driver). or look whether there are some official IDT drivers for your device.

    however, since the audio hardware isnt old, theres not much to do wrong when using these drivers offered by HP, unlike the gpu drivers that are heavily modified or even freshly created by HP (in order to be published as HP's drivers, not ATI's, since the gpus inside notebooks are sold as the notebooks' manufacturer's products, eg. ....SUBSYS_###103C being HP) , hence probably far from being good for gaming. its a trademark/rights issue why there are no official mobility radeon drivers offered by ATI (its not ATI's fault!), but it would be a far digression to describe that here.

    regarding the HDMI output - thats handled by ATI and its being installed by the ccc software suite.

    also, install the most recent chipset software, like the intel matrix storage manager and intel chipset software installation utility, which also get updated every few months ( http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/?iid=gg_work+home_support_downloads > chipset > chipset software > choose your OS).

    dude ... don't game in x8 AA... that's just ridiculous.. either x2 or x4 is fine.

    I had it off on 1080p res.. I can't really see the diff on big screen 23in and playing from far away...

    AA works best with low res screen like my default laptop monitor with crap 1366x768

    Depends what you game. I liked to max everything out at 1600x1200 with AA x8 and AF x16 on Half-Life 2 Episode 2 and in fact most Source games, because my HD3870 easily coped with the load.

    But when framerates take a hit, AA is usually the first thing that i give up. Next, i drop the resolution to 1280x960 and even 1024x768 to keep everything in high detail. But i have a CRT monitor on my main computer, you can't really use a lower than native resolution on a LCD.

    Anyone played Supreme Commander or a CPU-intensive game like that? I was wondering if the i7-720QM is worth the extra price. Apps and games still don't use quad-core procs to their full potential, do they?

    Is the i7-720 at least worth the extra bucks for future-proofing?

    CPU wise, the i5-520M and i5-540M are the best value. They perform almost as well as the i7-620M and 720QM but put out quite a bit less heat for a much cheaper price. If you're going to be running CPU intensive stuff, your best value would next be at the 820QM.

    For performance probably not worth the price, but if you refer to envy 15, i7 version has 4 memory slot and usb 3.0.

    Thats a ditto from why I went to the i7 plus I use virtualization. For gaming and general use the Core i5 is a much better bargain and more power efficient.

    meh, i would rather have an i7-620m than an i5-540m or an i7-720qm. The 620 is quite faster than the 540 and runs just as cool (its not a quad chip and runs low wattage like an i5), and is faster than the 720 in some cases. I almost bought a 620 but got the 820 instead (hotter but faster)

    The 620M isn't really faster than the 540M in majority of real life situations and runs hotter...

    wild kid, how did you stabilize yours at 550 and 1050? I can push mine to 600 and 1000 but nothing more...

    Not really. the 4830 is ddr3 only, while the 5830 is gddr3 and has more shaders. It is faster. In theory.

    My clocks are 500 core, 1050 memory. I don't increase the core because it becomes unstable at 550 and the 5830 is bottlenecked by memory bandwidth not the shaders. I get like 60 FPS playing Modern Warfare 2 all settings maxed out but no AA at 1280x720. I get 50 FPS on Crysis Warhead with everything Gamer except post-processing and shadow at minimum at 1280x720. Dirt 2 DX11 all high except no reflections and no post-processing gets 40 FPS at 1920x1080, 50 FPS at 1280x720.

    If you're getting really bad performance, check your clocks with AMD GPU Tool. If PowerPlay is enabled, the GPU throttles to 299 core and 299 memory.

    I am seriously thinking about the envy... and I need a 1920x1080 screen.

    I want to run my games at native res, even if that means turning down the settings.

    Can the 5830 handle games at Native Res?

    If you don't mind me asking whats the need for running games at native res. I am not questioning you, I am asking coz I want to know.

    On an LCD I prefer the look of the games when running at native res. For me, if you select a lower res the image is blurred because you are stretching the image over smaller pixels.

    I would rather have less AA and less detail and more accurate resolution.

    I can run FEAR at native res and some pretty heavy effects at standard clocks, same with Portal. I haven't tried any games much newer than those, but it should give you an idea of the performance. The 5830 really only falls down when you start adding in AA, which is what really eats up GPU memory bandwidth. With the Catalyst 10.3 beta drivers, the 5830+540M will score almost 8000 in 3DMark06.

    i think the same way. but when talking about notebooks, i definitely prefer a 1600x900 (& 1680x1050) resolution over the full 1080p, as theres no single mobile gpu able to handle the most demanding games at full resolution and maxed details of course. so in order to play at maxed details i think it is much better to have a 1600x900 native resolution than 1080p, as well as no AA, of course.

    Depends entirely on the game. I can play UT3 at maxed everything except AA, at full res. The 5830 is a powerhouse of a mobile GPU. If you're looking for a mobile massive gaming rig you should be looking elsewhere at SLI/CrossFire enabled machines. But you can't beat the Envy in the portability/performance comparison.

    sure, thats what i meant.
    maxed gfx settings & 1080p resolution gaming is only possible with a sli/cf gaming notebook, unless youre playing 3+ year old games (ie. if you want to play crysis, dirt 2 dx11 etc.).
    and i am sure the envy 15 is great performance wise, but if id take one (i wouldnt, since i dont like it in some points, unlike an elitebook 8540, except for its gpu & missing hdmi port), i definitely would take a 1600x900 display as the 5830 wouldnt be able to handle the games i would play at maxed settings and its native resolution, even less with AA.

    Dirt 2 seems fine at 1080p with slightly lowered setting.
