It's Oficial, Clevo d901c Supports 8800GTX!

Hi, all just to share that the specs are out!

http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo_2.asp?productid=19

nVIDIA® GeForce® 8800M GTX, MXM-IV Modular
512MB GDDRIII Video RAM on board, support PCI-E*16
MS DirectX® 10 compatible
HDCP support

There is nothing stated on the chart about XP & Vista SLI Ready within the scope of this card though. Hopefully it is a typo!

Trance

 

Darn, no update to the 5791 on that site Eurocom is getting the silver trim version late next week. I was going to pick it up if the 8800m was compatible.

 

damn, nothing about 570 ru

 

it is supported dont worry..

 

Yeah I am sure 570ru is supporter because UK based seller Rock direct has the 8800 as an option for the Rock 770 which is the 570ru

 

I'm sure we all suspected that the D901C supported the 8800M-GTX but it's great to get a solid confirmation. Thanks for posting.

 

i hope so..

 

Hi, DFTRance thanks for this link I am very happy that for sure the Sager NP9261 support 8800M GTX I can't wait till I pre order it on the 6th from XOTIC PC. I am going to get two of them Can't wait to play Crysis on max out

 

Not at native resolution.

 

heheh well at least 1280 * 800

 

I am so glad I bought a Clevo!

 

same here before I bought the sager np9261 I made sure that at least I can upgrade . So now I am waiting badly for the NVIDIA 8800M GTX SLI.

 

great post! good to see an official confirmation!
..at least we will no longer see D900C owners ranting about this upgrade, false advertisment and going to court with Sager..finally

I'm just kidding guys, no hard feelings please

..now all we have left are m570ru owners..but take a look at this:

I don't normally say this...but


HELL YES.


I was so worried about this ha.

 

Yes Fubarms, im in the same boat as you, cant wait for the upgrade..!! told justin to hold my order hhehe even though i got an email saying that it is in phase 2 of construction.

 

Men we are all excited about this new video card. We all be in trouble if the wifes find out where we spend the money. Well we must treat ourself sometime fellow gentlemen.

 

All you current owners of the 9260/9261 how are you upgrading your laptops?

Are you planning on letting someone do it or are you waiting for someone to sell you the card seperately? if so, who?

 

Thank goodness this has finally been confirmed I have been worryed about the upgradability of my 9261 since the 8800's were revealed.

 

old news maybe......

also xoctic pc says this on its NP5791 page

NEWS! On November 19th nVIDIA launched the latest in mobile graphics the GeForce 8800M GTX. Xotic PC & Sager are pleased to announce it will be one of the first offering this technology to its customers. We are currently working with Clevo on the final verifications of the new card options.

+1 respect to all you guys who are getting a Clevo, especially something like D901C.

And yeah, Clevo owners are proud Clevo owners.

My next machine is going to be a Clevo too [Whenever that is. Probably like fall, I'm not sure].

 

We do it ourselves.

BTW, video card installation is documented in the user manual.

 

Having had mine apart an hour after it arrived to install memory, I am planning to do this myself when the cards are out. It is not difficult just take your time and discharge any static before handling any of the components.

 

also keep some intoxicants near by. TRUST ME. you will need them in case you break something. plus I'm just no good with a screwdriver sober.

 

"intoxicants"

Wish I had some here! It really isn't difficult should take about 30 minutes or so to do this.

 

ROFL! Amen borther!

Its well deserved then.

 

yes it is thx for ur sevice
Oh and congratz on ur new order

 

Easier said than done.


Yes the cards are "out" but Nvidia does not sell MXM cards to the general public (even though they damn should) Where are you going to get hold of the cards from?

 

I am getting mine from Sager.

 

Whoa... Buhheast....

 

I am so stoked. Imagine 8800M GTX in SLI, can't wait.

 

Yeah, but you are a Sager customer.

I'm not, and I cant be, because I'm getting this laptop in Europe

 

Umberto, I decided to buy it in USA since I had only bad experiences with German resellers. I know, there is a risk if something goes wrong and you have to send it back, but... what to do?

 

That's nonsense and I am proof of it. I have been a Sager customer for years. Just do it, order!

 

all you folks out there with the NP 9261 hows your battery life like just for curiousity's sake..??

 

1,25 hour - normal use and wireless on

 

Just over an hour, but I have not even tried to optimize for any kind of battery life yet. I think with some tinkering you could get it to 1.5+ a little. If you are looking for something that has a really good battery life this probably is not going to make you happy. But if you are looking for something that can run of of the battery while moving locations or for short times without power it will do okay.

 

yeh im not fussed bout the battery, coz it will be plugged in most of the time. but im also getting one of these
