Sager 2090: My Take

flipp, would you mind commenting on the noise when the lappy is on/gaming. Any noticable fan noise during either situation?

 

nope you can barely hear the fan while not gaming and it doesn't really get much louder when gaming

 

Just out of curiosity in case you are already monitering it, what are the average GPU temps? I don't want you to go through any trouble if you aren't monitering them though.

 

yea i'm not monitoring them sorry

 

Unlike geico, I do want you to go through the trouble flip, could you check the average temps after it's been on/you've been gaming a bit on it?

Could use Rivatuner or PcWizard to check.

Thanks!

 

Phew, that's a relief I didn't wanna be the mean one here, but I wanted to know those temps, lol

 

I'm with geico on this.

 

i'm going to be attending MSU too, I'm guessing you live in Michigan? Infact I have to go to AOP this week, lol. My notebook will probably be delivered to my house by the time I come back.

edit: Nvm, I saw that you went to Lathrup. I graduated from Groves, very close to your school.

 

cool what hall are you in? i'm in holmes

 

i'm in akers

 

Im going to michigan state! *cough* *cough* actually I go to university of windsor right across the border but im going to your school to watch football games!

 

I think I drove past Michigan State when I was driving through Michigan. Maybe that was something else, who knows.

 

lol. well i got another gig of ram and now it turbocaches up to 1279 mb. can't wait to run 3d mark when i get home from work

 

I would say the turbocache aint gonna much of a difference in scores though the addition of another 1GB of system RAM may..

 

The extra GB of system RAM deff will make a difference due the fact that he is running with Vista. If it doesn't make a difference, ten basic computing logical can just go out the window.

Well at least to actual world performance of the system, who knows with 3Dmark.

 

Awesome... would love to see how it all works now with 2 gigs.

 

Going to georgia tech. I got accepted to the University of Michigan, but gatech has a better aerospace program. Anyway, I need more pictures. Hope my neighbor has got flood insurance.

 

why do i feel like im the only west coast person here?? Im headed toward UC San Diego... Also applied for those ives but no dice.

 

should have went to U of M anyways =p.

 

You're not alone here, I got accepted into UC Santa Barbara.

Join the club

 

I just ran 3dmark06 with 2 gb ram. it only added 6 points to my score

 

Lol, you'd expect more

 

Haha... a bit disappointing

 

I think 3dmark06 is a GPU/CPU intensive test... or maybe it's showing how useless turbocache actually is...

 

UCSD 2005 alum here!

 

i execpected the cpu test frame rate to go up and that would boos my score. i kinda figured the gpu test frame rate was already maxed so i didn't expect an improvement there

 

Ha! I vote for it showing how worthless synthetic benchmark tests are

 

Run your games again and post the FPS. I'm 99% sure an extra gig of RAM will help TONS

 

That's what I was thinking, because with 512 on board I didn't think the card needed much else.

Any idea if they're coming out with a 3d07? lol

EDIT: Yeah, hopefully the extra gig will give us some real world improvements.

 

It's note 3Dmark I was really expecting an increase in, but I thought it would show at least. It's in real world performance you should be able to feel the difference.

So we all agree synth benches are worthless?

 

i think it's kind of funny how you all changed your tune a lil' bit after you saw it didn't really go up. i think this was already shown anyway. Didn't someone compare the 8600m gs and gt and on his gs 3dmark benchmarks he forgot to install another gig of ram the first time so those were the pictures he uploaded. He later said that he didn't put up the 2 gb pictures because it didn't go up that much.

 

lol. Whatever, still a sweet laptop

 

so i got bored and started ocing. i got to 460 memory before i got an artifact while using atitool. i increased the clock in 5 mhz increments. the temp maxed out at 80 degrees. the fans are amazing btw, it's been 3 min. and temp has already dropped to 64 degrees.

*update*
i got to 490 core 460 mem at 83 degrees. i'm a lil scared to bring it higher

 

Try running 3dmarks with it overclocked see what you get =)

 

3d mark score of 3590!! http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp?projectType=14&XLID=0&UID=9951704

 

That's not bad, did you monitor the temps during the test?

 

hey did u have 2gigs of ram in it for that 3d mark oc test?
nvm the link wasn't loading for a sec, now it did i see 2 gigs, but still nice results

 

no i didn't monitor the temps, it peaks at around 86 tho i think

 

You could probably bring the core a big higher. Keep the memory the same.

 

as a fellow Lathrup alum, I have to wrist-slap you for putting S-L east of Detroit. That would put it in the Detroit River

 

Nevermind the new mark score, how much better does SupCom run? I'd imagine at LEAST 25 FPS now with another gig of RAM and an OC'd card.

 

yea i was hoping no one would catch that. i get my cardinal directions confused sometimes. lol what year did you graduate?
so i was playing supcom(lol) and i got 25 fps with 485 core 455 mem the temps peaked at 77 so i'm gonna try to find the highest clock speeed i can get and then try again.

500 core 470 mem 83 degrees
the temps kind of maxing out at 83 degrees.
the fps stayed about the same it went up to 30 when i zoomed out a lil but it seems like 25 is the best i can get. also the temp hovers around 77 while gamign so that's very good

 

you were probably still in diapers: 1989

 

flippoet -

There have been many on the Lenovo forum complaining about the Intel Turbo Memory causing lockups and BSOD when on battery. Have you had any issues with lockups?

 

lol, you're an old man =P

I'm glad to hear that it can keep itself cool when overclocked.

 

thats a good question actually because i have no clue if mine is working at all right now. but i haven't had any issues while on battery but i don't know if my intel turbo memory is working. i do get BSOD when i boot on battery sometimes tho

 

Damn I shouldn't have gotten turbo, I just couldn't resist with it being only 40 bucks and all. The word turbo might have made me jump the gun, damn you power rangers brainwash.

 

when you recieve your 2090, you can just pull it out and wait until there is better support for it

 

Oh no, you do NOT want to do that...it will mess all kinds of things up.

Don't sweat the Robson so much, it will be fine. However if you think you don't want it, just cancel that part of your order...it is not like they have already built yours you know...

 

lol they have
