ATI HD 6990m

I guess it's never really well advertised but does anyone know how the 3D works for ATI? I'm planning on pulling the trigger on the 8150 once the 6990 becomes available to pair it with an Asus 3d monitor but I don't know much about eye infinity. Btw, I'm mainly watching movies in 3D.

 

where can i buy the 6990m right now and how much?

 

A guy at Mythologic told me that they aren't shipping them until next week, so maybe that's when everyone else is showing theirs?

 

^^^ I hope that is true.

 

For those asking, we now have the AMD 6990M available for Pre-Order on the Lotus P150HM and Satori P170HM.

 

Is that the final price?

 

thank god cheesy you know what to do, order that thang! wow 580m went up $100!

 

It was $150 less the other day .

 

Wonder why it went up. Looks like the prices on other sites haven't changed.

 

It was a limited time offer. Same with the 485. It was 145 for the upgrade, now its 295. Told ya.

 

New price on the 6990m is $245 so it 50 dollars cheaper than the 485m

 

I love you.

 

Any possibilities to upgrade P150HM which equipped with GTX460M to HD6990M? I bought GTX460M on april this year.

 

One way, as I did,

is to get the upgrade pack from the resellers which includes the full cost of the card,

and sell your 460m.

That way, I got even on whatever upgrade price I would have paid, and I think I got some left over as well.

 

I'm not sure if clevo reseller RJTECH.COM offers upgrade pack. *HMM*

 

As soon as Clevo start selling this Very Waited For card, I'll PM you
They have upgrade pack (card + heatsink) for every card officially supported for a specific model.

 

The problem will be is that Sager will ship their branded models first and for a while before shipping any other brand. Any Sager dealer can launch a Pre Order for it but will jeopardize their shipments of it. Those that launch the Pre Order will not ship for possibly several weeks while Sager Branded units are shipping regularly.

Keep this in mind for those that are interested in this Card.

 

are u saying that machines purchased from sager not resellers will get shipped first because of the new card?

 

Any Clevo machine, whether Sager Branded or Re branded, and purchased from Sager would be affected by this. Unfortunately this isn't the first time it has happened. Patience is a virtue.

 

Just purchased the p150hm from you guys at Malibal with the 6970m back in June last month, can you guys just sell me the new 6990m card? how much ll it be by itself? do i need to update my bios? how do i do that?

thanks

 

Please check your PMs, vitzs1600.

 

KK, thanks

 

Argh very frustrating. Malibal has the 6990M available for preorder but no improved screen for the Satori P170HM. XoticPc doesn't have the 6990M available for order but has upgraded screens.

I'm ready to push an order button! Someone take my money!

 

What exactly do you mean by this? Are you saying other non sager reseller won't be able to ship the 6990m until maybe in September???

 

Mythlogic has both

http://www.mythlogiccorp.com/configure.php?id=66

 

no they wont ship until mid august, starting with those who have placed an order(meaning that if you place your order sooner you wont have to wait as long). place your order... NOW !

 

Mythologic is also about 200 plus more and take 2 to 3 weeks in production before the 4-5 days shipping but they do custom notebook so if you can wait and have money to spend, they are the man!

 

Shouldn't they have a ton of 6990m in stock? I really hate pre-order.

 

4-5 day shipping? I disagree as I had mine in two. And also, when I built my laptop, they were right about the same. They also have the benefit of not being a Sager reseller

 

What I am saying is that if any seller (that purchase from Sager) & advertise the 6990M pre-maturely, their orders will be held behind (could be several weeks) while Sager Branded orders will be shipping regularly.

If a customer orders with one of these sellers and they place the order with Sager, Sager will put it on hold on their order and continually process Sager Branded Orders. This would obviously cause frustration to customers that are seeing Sager Branded customers shipping regularly while their orders are pending.

Sager has always taken a conservative stance to not advertise a item until they have a firm ETA and normally it is a short period from when it is launched until shipments start. As history has shown us here over the years Sager has always had the latest technology first in and out.

I understand the frustration but placing the order now will not get you the GPU any sooner unfortunately. We are getting very close to release

Not being a Sager reseller is not a good thing when it comes to delivery times of new technology

 

=(

I'm in the same predicament. I want the better screen but I also want the 6990. I don't want to settle for the 8150 because I want the 17 inch.

 

While I agree with you about the first point (the sellers that have already a 6990M preorder will not be the first to ship these cards), but I disagree with you about the second point, Sager will release their branded notebooks and the Clevo barebones at the same time. There is something in the business called CONTRACT.

 

I have no problem waiting a month or so for the laptop. I'd just like to get an order in now so I can check the laptop search off in my mind. Unfortunately I have to wait until Xotic or Malibal lists both together.

Thanks for the link to Mythlogic, unfortunately their prices are hundreds more than Xotic or Malibal.

 

I was wondering, I know AMD comes out with Catalyst Drivers every month for desktop GPUs, how about AMD's Mobile GPUs?

 

NO ONE (Clevo-Sager dealer or reseller) in the USA is shipping this card yet.... All in due time....
_

 

From what you guys (the sellers) can tell, is the card the godsend it seems to be? So much power for so much less than the 580M...

 

Which one are you?

I don't understand if you guys have them, why can't you ship them out unless it has something to do with dell deal with the 6990m? The 6990m was release on July 12, so by my estimate, you guys should be able to ship it out as soon as that deal is up which would be the the 2nd of August right?

 

All Sager/Clevo dealers reseller builder, their machine is originally shipped form Clevo Co factory in China or Taiwan. If Clevo Co doesnt ship yet the 6990M notebooks, then no one will have it. the only exception that could be done is if a builder can get a barebone without GPU and buy individually the GPU from somewhere else (DELL for example) and this supposing that the vBIOS in the DELL cards are compatible withthe Clevo Mainboard.

 

Sager get their stuff before Clevo

 

Clevo Co is the ODM of Sager, so it's them who sell to Sager (I'm not talking here about Clevo as a brand)

 

Oh ok that make sense

 

As history has shown in every other release, this is normally how it works. As I posted above Sager has always been conservative and waits until they have a solid ETA or there is a limited window from release to shipment.

 

ATI seems to like screwing with NVdia as they always decide to offer something cheaper. Just like the case with 485 and 6970. They didnt really have that big of a difference. But the prices where around half... ATI wins the world.

 

Other than screwing with Nvidia, isn't it also a bit of an olive branch to the consumers as well? They had some terrible drivers and what not and quite likely lost a bit of business and are now at the point of wooing customers back. Either way, I know I'm going to enjoy mine when it arrives. ; )

 

I worry if it a rush Job and we might have a problematic card on our hand , it has not be tested yet so that the only thing I'm worry about and the fact that we will be the first.

 

under 1500 for a high end gaming laptop yayy. price wars ftw.

too bad amd cpus are still way slow, hopefully bulldozer will be decent but its not looking good.

 

Do you guys think if I order a notebook with a 6990M will they start shipping before September? Thats when I need a laptop b y and I will have to go with GTX485M if they don't ship before September

 

If you order now it may not..... It is all up in the air right now. As far as we know it should be sometime in August.

 

-high fives my fellow GW2 brotha- im also waiting for 6990m to be released in the other laptops besides dell so i can get one

 

If HD6990m released, does it'll fit on P150HM? I bought the unit on April and interested to upgrade from GTX460m to HS6990m
