Nagamaki Benchmark Thread and pictures

Aeris, Update your drivers to the 180.48 or above, cause your minimum fps is low. I get 44fps min with those new drivers.

 

wow I missed again. lol

 

I think that score is not Aeris's score because Aeris has 8800 gtx not 9800, right?

 

That is johnksss' score, I have SLi 8800m GTX.

 

Like stated in my other threads. Im not doing this battle of the brands any longer. I am going to simply post the scores when I feel like it. If you guys like the Odachi (D901C) by all means purchase it instead.


I was giving my opinion since I had both systems. That is all. Have fun guys.

 

thought you dropped the odachi and got 2 nagamakis's?

 

That is really a good opinion, it is not like that we are doing advertesiment for the companies that make the laptops, let's just put benchmarks to help the future buyers of either laptops or other laptops to decide which they should choose that fits their needs, also, to "show off" a little our abilities with system tweaking and optimizing too, just a healthy game.

 

Acutally he shipped me an Odachi to play around with for a few days to see if I wanted one.

And I havent got the 2nd Nagamaki yet been playing around with some ideas.

Added-This all just happened this week.

 

aight, cool...now you can see both sides of the fence and give a very real world call on both machines.

 

The new drivers are giving quite a bit of performance gains. I stated it before but I did send back the Odachi. The Nagamaki is much more my prference because of the previously stated reasons

 

so odachi vs nag?? hoop??

 

you know that's an argument waiting to happen...lol

let that go!

*meditation time zfactorsan*

 

no arguments.. i just want his OWN opinions.. nothing more. im curious to know what he did or didnt like about each and why he chose one over the other. i def want to keep it civilized lol..

 

It can compete to with the D901C as Mark sent me and Odachi fully loaded, which I returned to him, so

Thanks to him for the free test drive comparison.
Right off the bat lets be realistic the D901C is heavy at almost a full 3 LBS heavier it’s a ***** to lug around.

Look, In my opinion, the Odachi next to my Nagamaki (which I might add will have carbon fiber soon) is impossible to describe. I guess I could start by saying, "This isn't a desktop replacement, it's a dang desktop!"

The odachi was a pain in the *** to hook up to the TV and the External monitor and the picture quality diminished as the Nagamaki has a HDMI output with sound the Odachi doesn’t have the output at all.

Backlit keyboard isn’t an option with the Odachi and it looks brilliant on the Nagamaki (in three colors!).

The keyboard quality and feel itself was at least 10 times better on the Nagamki for long typing sessions.

External storage was a breeze with the eSATA port on the Nagamaki which is conspicuously absent on the Odachi. (kkep in mind eSata is lamost 300% faster than the USB 2.0 which allows taking the image of my drives down from 20 minutes to around 6 minutes.

DDR3 vs. DDR2 memory

The list goes on and on but one of the most important to add is the Nagamaki has 2 hours of battery life, the other... 45 minutes!

Fan Noise- The Odachi has a whine to it and the fans are almost always running at an very noticeable level.

In all reality if I would rather have a nice cube Desktop that weights about the same as the Odachi and can kick both of the systems asses in Gaming over having an Odachi.

The Odachi did manage advantages in FPS in Farcry. Instead of around 50-51 with the QX9300 in the Naga. I was gettings around 54-55 out of the Odachi.

Now these are without tons of tweaking etc.but their is no way in my opinion I woudl downgrade form the Nagamaki to the Odachi.

I might add. That I did reset the Nagamaki to factory settings and no tweaks at all and got 48.9 or something like that FPS.

All my opinion.

Please dont flame etc. The Odcahi is a quick computer im not saying it isnt.

Now These are only the resaons why I chose the nagamaki over the odachi not a well rounded review of each system as you can tell.

 

yeah, i can go with some of that stuff, but not all.
and the far cry bench was a stock odachi against an over clocked one. since you would need to under stand over clocking on the odachi.
but weight and no esata, hdmi, back lit keyboard or ddr3 along with everything being over clock able on the nagamaki. would make it the better looking choice.

the odachi needs no over clocking to run in top form
has 3 hard drivers so esata would not be a serious issue.
a stock nagamaki is not getting 50 frames, but the odachi with quad can.
you have to seriously over clock it it to keep up. these are just facts not my personal opinion.
with all the fancy stuff that it comes with...it beats the odachi hands down on looks, portability and added accessories, but as far as performance...it's seriously lacking. out the door no over clocking of anything. just open the box and run. the performance is no where where it should be. else everyone wouldn't need to be over clocking everything in the system to keep up. and without over clocking the cpu...it's way down the list in performance. sorry. it has be ran against a quad 2.4 q6600 and was out classed in performance. now when these new 4870's come out...then maybe they will catch up with the quad cpu and run allot better than the 3870's. this is in no way a diss to the 3870's, but to many folks asking for the 4800's means that the 3800's was a valiant effort on ati's part..now hopefully the 4800's will come the way ati meant them to come along with the correct drivers to drive them.


you have to be a bit more round when suming up the two hooper..

 

Johnksss,

"Seriously overclock it" I got 49.8 FPS with the Nagamaki with just the multiplier set up to 11.5.

Say what you want thanks for flaming my opinion since you are so well rounded and have had both of these systems.

 

This is why I hate posting on these forums. I get asked for MY OPINION, sorry I didnt see them ask for yours and it gets riddled with crap.

 

Hoop.. man its cool the whole point of forums is discussion and criticism. You have some valid points but John has some as well. True they asked for your opinion but someone else can reply based on what you wrote which is what John did. hence a thread is born. now go back and defend your points instead of backing out at the first sign of a challenge.

 

see, im not ocz so dont go blowing it out of proportion.

no over clock means just that. no over clock.
and im not flaming you. yu downed one for the other. i gave yours a thumbs up for all it's true points. just like a gave the odachi it's thumbs up for it's one point.

quit getting beside your self.

 

The reasons I stated where the exact reasons behind my opinion and what I didnt like about the Odachi.

The Odachi is a fast laptop not saying it isnt.

Also just because the Nagamaki is made to easily overclock I dont really consider that a down point on the other hand me persoanlly would say I like the Nagamaki WAY more because how easily it can be extremly overclocked and how reliable it is.

 

i saw he said he actually had both so i wanted to know what he thought of them since he had time to play with both side by side. thanks for the info. i def think the ocz is the way to go i just really wish they had the 4800 series cards coming sooner than they are

 

I would say the major downfall isnt the video cards the drivers themselves are way more important.

I would take a mobile series driver over the 4870s any day

Not saying I dont want the 4870's =)

 

that's all i was saying...give it it's ONE point. you was chalking up as having none!.. . man, i got nothing against ya hoop. never think like that. but it does have at least ONE. point is all i was saying...

 

I will be a little more poliet.

It is a fast laptop.

 

You would think a notebook that is 2.4 inches thick and with two 1gb GPUs would perform better than the 1.7 inch one with two 512 meg GPUs...

Just sayin , but I must say that I was mistaken about the D901c looking plain; I saw a Falcon NW Fragbook painted in pearl white, and it actually looked pretty sweet.

 

ill give you that, except you dont have one doing that yet? if you run yours stock you'll answer you own question. but then you knew that already
