Can anyone confirm the huge fps drop when on battery?

 

FPS drop is a result of the power management system.
Try setting the Power Profile to High Performance and going to Nvidia control Panel and doing the same with settings over there.

It is not a defect but a consequence of running on batteries which can only provide a limited output.

 

I agree there still is not such a thing as an unplugged gaming laptop regardless of manufactor or a company like apple.

Razer edge pro it's the only exception I know of...and the battery lasts a whole 45 minutes lol. You're right though, all graphics cards throttle on battery and usually switch to integrated graphics. No switching for this machine though

 

But it still will throttle the GPU to go something like 135 MHz and there aren't any settings to change it (at least on the Y400/500).

 

I've been following the Lenovo Y500 for ~2 months now. Reading reviews, user-feedback etc. Now, when I finally decide to move in for the kill, this (Lenovo Y510p) happens. -_-
Serious dilemma. Now I have to wait for the reviews, user-feedback (etc) for this too?

Actually, the long wait, research et al was till a good deal came up on the lenovo site. For the dual GT750M version. Now I want the Y510p. I've seen many here who seem to know a 'rep' who could help me/us with a good deal. Any information about this rep would help (financially lol).

Hi TheSonu. Could you email/PM me the reps details please? Email ([email protected]). Mods please don't remove personal details. After all, I am divulging that information willingly, right?

 

I might as well give it a try as well spam email is thanks!

 

So far I can't find a rep that will come anywhere close to either deal. They wouldn't even consider price matching against anyone.

 

omg why they didn't use a single GTX 765M instead of the stupid buggy SLi ! They just lost my money !

 

No and frankly, you don't want to. The battery drain would be so harsh, you might overheat your battery. Even at half the frequency, you're looking at 30 minutes of battery life while playing a game. I'll never play a game unplugged though. The whole point of a gaming laptop is not to be unplugged - it's to have the ability of having a near desktop experience on the road.

I've been using a Y500 for almost a month with no bugs. For the price(I paid $1150 for the 16GB SLI version), there's really no better deal. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Hiee Sonu,

if you could please email me the Lenovo Rep's info to (my fake name/spam email) [email protected] that would be much appreciated!
I looked out for different reps but none of them have the offer that you got....I am making a purchase today itself so please please email me the info....Thanks in advance....

 

I've tried getting a hold of that rep all morning. No luck yet. No other rep can help at all. If I can't get it by tomorrow, I'm just going to stick with my Newegg order.

 

i hate SLi, and problems with games (drivers and No use of the sli etc...) why loosing the Optical drive instead of putting a single Gpu( GTX 760M or GTX 765M) they could have made a Lenovo Y590 with this model Optimus stable + Single Gpu (high end) + normal design

 

Please bro mail me, I would really apreciate it. [email protected]

I live at Central America and have to pay for shipment here (expensive), lots of money on total for my poor wallet =/

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Yes I agree SLI can cause some problems with older games. But I like what lenovo has done with this model. Slimmer and lighter is the way of the future. The Sli 750m GPU's are slightly more power then the GTX 765M. Optical drives are no longer needed. It's pretty much old tech at this point.

 

Just got a call back from the rep thesonu used and got the same deal. He is the only one who can set that up. Great deal!

 

Spoke to 3 reps who said that they don't price match retailers. What department did you speak to?

Congrats! I'm having no luck this morning, going to have to wait to get this reps info maybe he can help.

 

Sorry for goind offtopic, but I wanted to share this, try this wallpaper, it looks sick with the red keyboard on. Just leave no icons on the desktop

Thanks! It came to $1125.54 after 6% sales tax. By itself, that's a bargain. Throw in the 2 year warranty, case and mouse? - wow!

 

Random Rep its offering me only $50 discount before taxes

From $1,299.00 to $1,249.00. Should I go with that?

I asked for "student discount" (just randomly trying something) and he ended up with that, and said he coudnt discount more.

Please, can anyone help me to get any better discount? Can mail me to [email protected]. Thanks a lot in advance!

 

I just bought Y510p from Frys and it doesn't look like it has a regular MSATA slot in there. The regular MSATA connector has 1 indentation. This 24GB MSATA drive has 2 indentations on it and the PCB board itself is a little smaller. I'll take a picture of it when I get home.

 

waiting for them to get us a Y590 with optimus and a GTX 760/765M and a 1080p Screen + the stuff of the Y580 and they got my money

 

Just placed my order for the y510p this morning! I built up some rapport with the first sales rep that picked up, asked for a "student discount/education bundle", and then asked if the price could be brought down just a little bit more to fit into my budget.
y510p, 24gb ssd, 8gb ram, single 750m, dvd.
$1,029 down all the way to $909!

 

Ok so I came close.. basically same price but no extras like the warranty case or mouse. How the heck did the other guy get the Barnes&Noble discount on top of this price?? Feels like a good deal until I see his $940.80

 

Please, how did you get such discount? I asked for student discount too and only got -$50, from $1,299 to $1,249 BEFORE taxes =(

Email / PM me the name of the Rep please, [email protected]. Thanks a lot!

 

Could you please clarify this further youdontknowmeeh? A picture would be great and much appreciated. Does that mean a normal msata ssd drive won't fit anymore? Because I recently bought a Crucial m4 256gb mSata SSD that I used for my y500 before returning it for this laptop, and from what you're saying, it might not even fit in the y510p?

Could any y510p owner verifiy if a normal msata SSD will still fit/if the laptop is able to hold an msata ssd?

Thanks!

 

Well, first of all the particular model I chose is probably different from the one you are speaking of. (See: "y510p, 24gb ssd, 8gb ram, DVD")
On Lenovo's site, the current sales price is 1,029. When I called, I built up some rapport (basically small talk, get to know your sales rep a little on the personal level. Ex: We chatted about Mustangs for about 5 minutes.) Then a smooth, polite transition into business, pricing.
Just be polite, don't be obvious that your #1 concern in the lowest price possible (even it it really is!)

 

Please send a picture. I'm not sure what you mean by indentations. I assumed it was the same port as the Y500(hopefully it is). It should be roughly 6.8-7.0 inches long

I don't believe that deal. Lenovo doesn't even sell the model that Newegg has so I can't see how they would match the price. My guess is he got a single card model with $50 from the Barnes and Noble deal.

 

Just purchased the y510p at Fry's yesterday. Even though it says 8gb ssd on their site, the computer does have a 24gb ssd. Also after running 3dmark11, it posted a score of 5080 in sli config.

 

whats is givivng that gpu score boost

 

Does anyone know if the same can be said about the newegg version? It's a decent deal, but would want the 24gb ssd, not 8.

 

someone stated in this thread that they got one from newegg with the 24g msata

with all these people rmaing, i expect to see a lot of good sli deals in the outlet in the coming weeks

 

octiceps, more reports of 5000+ 3dmark 11 scores. Beginning to think its true.

 

Heres the 3dmark11 test scores, I first said it scored a 5080 but its actually a 5117. NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,LENOVO 20217 score: P5117 3DMarks

By the way this is all stock no overclocking done.

 

Got both of ya. Good luck!

 

That maybe the case, the only place to list it is fry's here FRYS.com | Lenovo

 

Can you show us your temperatures and clock speeds during the benchmark? Thanks

 

I'm glad it worked out! It is a pretty great deal, and I'm really surprised that he's the only guy that knows this exists haha

 

man this is tempting

 

Does anybody know what the 3DMark score was for the Y500 with dual 750's? I just want to compare, but I imagine that it would also be around this score.

 

Usually the outside vendors all carry the same model numbers. I bet they are identical. Besides...I don't even know where you would GET an 8GB cache SSD these days I was shocked they still packed a 16GB in the Y500s. Sure it helps, but the 24GB and 32GB drives are so cheap now.

I got 4490 when I did mine last month. That was stock with 750M SLI. I can't explain how the score goes up by 500 merely from a CPU change

 

Stock 750m configuration is around 4500. , and over clocked nothing serious .

 

That's so weird! How the heck does that work out? XD
Hopefully some smart engineer here can figure this out haha

 

Thanks for the hints bro, ill try that on my next attemp xD

 

I'm an engineer - can't figure it out. The specs between the processors are so similar that I would have stuck with the Y500 if it wasn't for the deal you(and now I) got. There's no Optimus so the battery savings really aren't THAT effective. But now it's clear as day, there is a definite advantage to having the Y510p. Glad I took the plunge! One thing is for sure - Intel must have ironed some efficiencies out in this design. Even with the same clock speeds, etc, they manage to get a 10% boost in power and supposedly have battery savings as well.

 

man the 510p will be a beast when overclocked
