    I totally understand It can take 4ever for a computer. F*** crysis try coverting and see how good your computer is. I sometimes on a movie I love I will set the setting on Ipod or PS3, FF*** something, vivid, and HQ Ultra and it will take a day I will set it up before bed and watch after work the next day But the picture is better than the orignal.

    Oh sorry man that ISP stuff again can't see'em. But I will read this thread again when I get back home so I can see'em. That's sound's good thou because most encoding programs don't use the video cards so you may be able to play games and encode at the same time. SWEET.

    Hey Johnksss did you start your run yet?
    Edit: Oh cool...

    Thank you both 4 your help

    John do you have Xp or vista?

    Because you need Microsoft framework. 3.0 is best but I think Xp has a lower ver you may have to up update.

    Plus you need Avisynth but I though Xvid4psp comes with it.

    The Clevo/Sager is a great machine, and I would guess it would perform slightly better higher resolution gaming, especially Crysis (and more significant improvements at higher resolutions with the 9800m GTX). If you are really considering switching, I say wait until the Mobility 4xxx series become publically available. Single 4850 has already been tested (on archaic 3d06 though).

    @ mhooper1125:

    Could you run the "PassMark Performance" tests for me? It doesn't take long to download and the benchmark is really short.
    Here's the link: http://www.passmark.com/download/pt_download.htm

    ..and if you've got any time left also PCMark Vantage.

    Also how loud are the fans on this thing when idle and when under load.

    I really appreciate everything you've done for us so far.
    Thanks for being our guinea pig :D and +rep to you

    Sure I will run the passmark test. Thansk for the + rep.



    Ok also Wprime.

    and PC mark vantage.

    Sorry i didnt make it to walmart to buy a few games last night the fights didnt get over till almost 3AM and was a bit tired. Will be going over there today to get them.

    Like I said sorry if I dont keep the this thread as up to date. will try though.



    I didnt do temps after the Fumark run but the fan wasnt even in high during it so they couldnt have been all that high =)

    The fan noise- To be honest with the QX9300 in here the fans rarely are even going full speed under all these test. When they are they are noticeable but not loud by any means. During normal operation and fans on medium/low you cant even hear them.

    from what i've seen there is no 4850 test, its a collection of pictures that made many people speculate upon. but he may have another source

    hah, remember the time you quoted me on the other forum for discussing single GPU benchmarks? It was in reference to that. Here is more info (only 3dmark06 tests done so far):

    edit: just use link above your post, pics of actual card (engineering sample probably) is on the 3rd page

    but what keeps throwing me off is his resolution of 1024x768 and 1280x800. and his total score on 3dmark is only 10.2. while running an x9100. doesn't quite fit the bill of speed...at least...that's what i was thinking...(speculation of course) if that we're my card it would be running at 1920x1200/1680x1200/1280x1024 (more speculation of course)

    oh yeah, about running single and dual card mode. reason why was because...
    some people like to know what the total performance in one card is vs 2 cards, so they can gage their percentages. (example 10% 20% 30% increase over running one card)

    battery usuage using one card vs 2 cards

    how it runs in single and dual card mode

    making sure both cards are performing up to par.

    compete and rib with single card users. (i use to do this when i had one card)

    and not everyone can afford to buy both cards right out the gate(thanks to the nvidia hella dammn high pricing scheme) so they buy one first then "try" to get the second later. (in many cases...easier said than done) but now thanks to ati, they made it allot easier to get two cards and not have to wait to shell out another 700 bucks for a second card. gt's in the total cost range of 500 bucks(more speculation)

    also, not all games scale well with dual cards, so you like to test out both scenarios to get the best gaming experience possible.(imho)

    not to mention...im just dammn nosy and i like to test both ways. *LOL*

    because when you start trouble shooting your friends & customers, you like to already have a major jump on the problem and how to either help fix it, compensate it or just flat out replace it, but if it's somethings simple... then end user can do it...who wants to wait 2 to 3 weeks for ones machine to come home...unless your upgrading to the dual card from a one card solution.*LOL*

    edit: did you see his battery left meter!!! 5 hours!! :eek: :eek: :eek: we are struggling to maintain anything under 3 hours!...*LOL* and 3 hours is seriously pushing it! (more like 1 to 2 hours, but im leaving room.)

    More pics up at GoG under my first thread. Will have benches up soon, installing now. Will also run all other requested benchmarks as soon as I get them done.

    Battery life is around 2 hours from my best guess. Havent tested it yet just ballparking from what Ive seen.

    Interestingly enough, AMD/ATi has three high end mobile videocards listed under its device ID page: 4850, 4870 and the 4850x2. I'm not sure if the latter is one MXM card with two cores...

    Crysis bench up only on VERY HIGH setting so far will have High in a minute:

    Also temps during the crysis run.

    This is with some background processes too. Including windows sidebar, Blue tooth and a couple other items running. Also this is no ready boost nothing at all added for performance.

    when you ran it...you went inside the game first. then set everything to high or very high, clicked ok. then set the resolution to 1920x1200, then click ok, then clicked out of the program. then ran the benchmark_gpu from the crysis bin32 folder. using the original crysis with out the patch (1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2)

    yeah, the GTX though runs a bit hotter then the GT. My old 9262 with GT idled at 43-46C, the GTX idles at 48C. After long hours of playing Crysis the GTX will get to 77C max so far. I do use a notebook cooler but I m really struggling to get above 77C. And I mean, not even 5h of Crysis will do that so far. Also wierd, but the GTX after quitting Crysis wont go that fast to idle temps as the GT did. I doest get baack to 48C but after some minutes have past. GT was much quicker in terms of that. Anyway all those temps are still simply astonishing. 9262 is the last notebook in the world that I would think would overheat :D
