I Just Got My Sager 2090

it's beautiful, i'm downloading rivatuner now so i can see what kind of ram it has

 

Pics please.

Oh yeah what are your specs on it?

 

ok... 64 bit vista might be a problem, anyone know of a similar program that works with 64 bit vista?

 

512 mb ddr3!!!!!!!!!!!! screenshot to come

 

How long did it take from the date you ordered it?

 

is it clocked at what is advertised on the nvidia website(700mhz)

 

here's the pic from riva


i ordered mine on the 18th and i got it today, so about a week and some

 

You should probably say GDDR3...otherwise people will think you mean DDR3 main system RAM.

 

DDR3?! So, every 2090 has DDR3? Well then, I will be ordering mine right.about.now! Oh, and show us pics of the lappy! And, if time is on your side, how bout some benchmarks of games, perhaps Oblivion and Supreme Commander?

 

I'd be more interested in benchmarks of DX10 games like Lost Planet, CoH, etc.

 

here are the clocks



i'm thinking its a bit underclocked

 

It's actually overclocked. Stock for 8600 gt is 475 core, 950 shader, 700 memory. http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600M.html Yours is 513 core, 1026 shader, 800 memory.

 

oh... lol sweet then? i can't wait to play some games now

 

shouldnt it be 700mhz double pumped to 1400mhz

 

thats what i was thinking actually when i said it was underclocked

 

When did you order your Sager?

EDIT: never mind, i found out.

 

check out these pics

Sager 2090

 

Battery life??

 

So you got the WXGA glossy screen, right? Doesn't seem to be that glared, which was what I was worried about.

 

a bit early to tell... i just got it an hour ago

 

oh man thats great news!

 

Looks great...but yes, please do post the 3dmark06 scores. Some people on this board are opposed to such benchmarks, but they are indeed benchmarks and useful comparisons at equal resolutions between different platforms.

Also, is it possible that Riva tuner is simply saying the video memory is gddr3 because it assumes the new 8600gt uses that, or is it capable of actually detecting what kind of ram it is?

 

actually i don't notice much of a glare. and theirs a light right behind me. all in all the laptop feels pretty solid. i cant feel a flex on the keyboard. the screen ripples a bit when you push behind the screen. it feels fairly light and the fingerprint reader is so easy to setup. i haven't really tried out much else. i'll give as much detail as i can give tomorrow, i have to work in an hour and then i'm hanging out with my gf. tomorrow i'll try to answer any questions that are left unanswered

downloading 3dmark06 right now!! i need to get and then install an additional gig of ram tho... so my 3dmarks scores are gonna be gimped

 

3DMark is only so useful...it's a synthetic benchmark.

I have bookmarked this thread and will check it periodically. Thanks for all the info!!

 

does anyone know how i can figure out if robson is being used?

 

Can it be safe to assume that since the Sager version of the IFL90 has DDR3 that they Compal version will as well?

 

I AM SO PUMPED IT HAS GDDR3 everyone thought it would be gddr2 yay!

 

i would say it is a pretty safe bet since they're the exact same computer just rebranded

 

congrats on the new notebook.

It should serve you well... as long as you do your part to take care of it.

lemme give you my pre-requisites for owning a gaming notebook:

Remember these things to have your notebook be healthy for years:

1) Battery: to maintain the longevity of any rechargeable battery
- you must NEVER overcharge it [especially for long durations of time] by keeping it plugged into AC
- when it reaches 100% you should unplug it and let it discharge to 5-15%, then plug it back to power
- OR you can just charge it to 50%+ and remove the battery and store in cool place.. not the fridge [remember to use it occasionally 3-4 times a year to charge and discharge it].

2.) Heat: to prevent a healthy notebook from overheating
- ALWAYS use the notebook on a hard & flat surface
- RECOMMENDED to be used on a notebook cooler... namely the Zalman ZM-NC1000
- check your fans underneath occasionally (at least once a month) for any dust clogs [clean them out with Q-tips and air cans/compressors]
- ALWAYS monitor the temps (CPU, GPU, HDD, etc..) to watch for fluctuations, which would indicate overheating

By doing these simple things, your entire system will easily last for more than 3 years.

A notebook is only as good as
- the support that comes with it [from resellers/vendors/OEMs]
- and the owner that takes care of it

 

yea, um can you repost that guide of yours?

oh yea the fn key being all the way to the left is the suxors. i keep on messing up and pressing it instead of ctrl, i'll get used to it i guess

 

Yea, thats what I figured just didn't wanna hold my breath just in case!

 

where you buy from?

 

so are you running 64bit vista? and how much RAM are you going to have once you pick up more like you said, 4gigs?

 

Gahh, just called every reseller and EVERYONE is out of stock until mid-July!

 

Who is all selling it?

 

PowerNotebooks.com and Xoticpc.com and several others. Check out the Clevo Guide that is a sticky at the top of this Forum.

 

For those thinking of ordering. I ordered a Sager NP2090 from PowerNotebooks today. I want to highlight the fact that Donald was very nice and patient with my ramblings over the phone. I hate not being able to see the face of the people I talk to... so I can really end up rambling over the phone but Donald remained cool.

 

heh, not to be rude, but anyone here could have told you that. lol

 

Here's something nobody's asked about. What's the audio like, both attached speakers and headphones.

 

right now the audio coming from the speakers sounds really bad, maybe its a setting that i need to change but it sounds like crap

 

flippoet, worst than usual laptop audio??? The sound that comes out of my current Dell is pretty awful but then that's laptop audio for ya.

 

I agree, when I spoke to Donald (Paladin44) he answered all my questions politely despite the fact that I asked a lot of them. I ended up buying my laptop from Power Notebooks that night.

 

yea pretty bad, my old dell 8200 sounded fine but this just sounds bad to me. it sounds hollow and from a tin can. also the top black part is pretty easy to scratch. my girlfriend has put a sizable scratch on it already.


*edit* ok so system sounds sound bad but when you play songs through media player it sounds fairly decent

 

Do you think the bad sound is because of the speakers or the integrated sound? Say if I were to run it to external speakers, do you think I'd get a good sound?

 

whipped.......

 

if you saw her you would be too

 

pix or ban !
when u say somethin like that u gotta support it

 

lol add a pic of her holding your lappy or something

 

fine looky
