Sager 9262 Ordered - The waiting thread :D

Yeah I tried my wireless and worked normally, but I was only a few feet away from it.
I guess the next thing to ask is do you have a wireless router? If you do use one you might be getting some sort of interference, try moving closer to it and see if you still get lags or spikes?You might have to reposition it to get wider/stronger signal.
And on the GTX's in SLI I would hold off if I were you at least until someone could post some scores and benchmarks to see were it lies on the food chain.
I know they probably will put up better numbers than 9800M GT's in SLI, the question is how much better.
$600 better, I don't know man............
Just wait If you could.

 

My RMA status has been granted and the production phase of my new laptop has already started. XoticPc says it should ship mid to late next week, so its the waiting period all over again. I m pretty excited. I want to see those 9800m GTX scores with Q9650.

 

Good Luck with this laptop.
yeah the hardest part is waiting, I really hope you blow my 3DMARK06 scores away!

 

If i was in youre position and i been the last 1-2 months i would try to grab 2 9800GT instead of GTX before they are out of stock,is common sense that nvidia try to force the market by using this policy to buy there GTXs on high price now since the majority of consumers cant justify paying all this premium diferrence getting sth that cant deliver the equal performance.

EDIT:Finally my D901C and Nexus just arrived but im in work,i cant wait for some benchs of the D901C,ill try to make a new thread the next week sth like a small review and comparison between the 2 systems.

 

ok guys so here is the cit rep. My new 9262 with 2Gb 9800mGTX SLI just arrived and 3dmark06 scores are crap. Not just bad but total shhhiieeet. In some cases lower than even my old 9800GT SLI. I was pretty disappointed until I fired up crysis. This games absolutely flies almost maxed out. I m making a video for youtube so u can actually see how well this game performs on a 9262. Sit tight, hopefully with upload the video will be available in 30mins.

 

forget the videos. simply run the internal benchmark utility supplied by the game to verify how much faster your rig is.

 

wow with patch 1.2 Crysis speeded up even more. Video is almost uploaded. I ll run the benchmark asap.

 

Have you posted benchmarks yet Masta of that 98GTX in SLI?

 

I get 14.654 in 3dMark06 so thats crap. However Crysis runs noticably better than 9800GT SLI so I ll post my benches on that soon.

 

ok so how do I use the ingame benchmarking tool, cause I cant find it

 

Just find the bin folder that is in your Crysis folder, you should see a GPU and CPU .bat file. Use the GPU.bat.

 

Hers the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHHbdDqgLIo
I ll post those benchies as soon as I ll eat.

BTW.
The game with patch 1.2 runs even better now that in that video.

 

ok one more question. When I start the GPU benchmark, how can I change the resolution. It just runs itself in a loop, so how can I get the results from the benchmark? I got bored after it did 3rd or 4th time the same loop.

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

no one will be selling the 9800m gt anything for the time being. nvidia discontinued it. i just got off the phone with sager and they wont even sell you a 9800gt anything anymore. so they droped the price of the gtx to 795.00. dammmn shame!!! i knew i should have gotten it before.... they will be updating their site tonight. (so they say)

 

Two times!

The configuration I've been working with just went up about $300.

 

i had the thing in the system as they dropped the card. i was like... it's on your site...they said...not anymore...*LOL* the only reason why they still sell the 5796 is because they tring to get rid of them before they either recall them or get stuck with them.

 

That's not right. As long as the offer is public, accepting it makes the deal, and it can't/shouldn't be yanked right out from underneath the feet of someone who's in the system. I don't know how cantankerous you feel like being, but a little grousing on the phone - particularly about how you'd already accepted their offer, which was good as long as it was on the site, and whatnot - might be enough to shake the last one free from the tree.

On the other hand, your phone time might be better spent calling up RJTech - their configuration page for the D901C still lists single and SLi 9800 GT cards. They might still have stock even though Sager's out.

 

im sure they have a little section somewhere where it says. "prices subject to change without notice" ...****, i should have ordered it yesterday.

 

XoticPC just lower the price today, thats sick. I just got my laptop back. I m gonna get that money back. They even lower the price in HDDs. Thats just awful.

 

yeah, it's a sager/clevo/who sales this computer price/card change. they done went crazy!!

i wonder if the 9800m gt was suppose to be the gts....

 

if you bought your system and have it within 30 days, you can ask for a price adjustment, then they should easily credit you back the difference of the new lower price... its not awful, just learn to do price adjustments.

Note: I am talking about retailers/vendors in general... you should contact your vendor to see the exact details on how they will handle any price matches or price adjustments... they don't all do it the same way.

 

Thanks Gophn. I ve sent them an email about that. I overpaid $700 for my config and the moment it gets in my hands they lower the prices on almost most of the components. i would go with a bluray drive then If I new I would be saving that much ... ehhh at least the laptop is a beast

 

that would be the least of my concerns. they are a reputable company and im sure it's not even going to be the slightest problem to get the difference back.

edit: getting two gt's is something different. lol

 

They may, and, who knows, it might even be completely enforceable; but nothing beats working hard on the (in)equities of the situation.

 

Just ordered my NP9262 from RJ Tech. I hope I didn't make a mistake. It was the only place I could find with dual 9800M GT. Now I'm playing the waiting game too!

 

i just got off the phone with them. and yes they do have 9800m gt's left. a very small inventory of them to be exact.

 

I placed my order with Sager for a NP9262 with a 9800m GT yesterday and it was approved-whew, just under the wire!

 

What will people do when the supply of 9800m GTs are gone, go for the 9800m GTX?

 

That's the Sager option now-which jacked the price up $350.

 

change the game's video settings in-game and then exit to run the benchmark. let it do it's thing by looping a few times. after it's done it will show you the results.

we really need wxga, wsxga, wuxga resolutions in all high and all very high settings.

 

And probably one less than they had before you called, right?

 

WoW, I'm really excited now. Got a new toy on the way. Ain't nothing like new toys! Now I need to call Comcast and get internet and cable (lol, yeah, was waiting until I got the computer). Need to get a router too. This machine is going to make my setup KING! I'm going to integrate everything I have and have this new machine control it remotely. It's going to be so beautiful :'( (tear)

 

two different places. the one that still has it listed is rjtech. and that's only till they get rid of what they have left. and the one that said they weren't selling anymore was sager. i was on the phone with both places.

over the phone or on the website? i was trying to get them to switch it and they kept telling me no. they didn't have any gt's left. i guess i got the wrong sales guy then, but i called 3 times. and they all said no. so congrats on getting the gt's!!

 

Oh yeahhhhh

After making the terrible mistake of chosing alienware first, I have cancelled my m17x, luckily the service was so bad BEFORE I got it, so I only needed to cancel it.

Now just ordered my 9262 from Kobalt computers (UK) - Excellenct company Btw

Spec:

17'' 1900x1200 screen
Q9650 3.0Ghz
4gig of RAM
Vista ultimate 64 bit
3x320 Gb 7200rpm (960Gb total) in RAID 0
Blu-ray writer
2x 9800 GTX in SLI

 

^^^
Wow that's a nice spec. I am really looking into this laptop I love how you can upgrade it completely pretty much!

 

Yep, those are sweet spec, the same that I have but I cant stand WUXGA res so I opted for WSXGA. So far this is a pretty fast laptop but there is nothing like too much power for crysis

 

you must have known i was thinking about you man... what happened to the benchmarks??...

 

actually I m gonna run them right now. I ve downloaded ultra high quality mod though so hopefully that wont effect the results too much.

 

you only have to rename that cfg file (ultrahighquality.cf_) and it wont load the ultra high quality mod. (speculation of course)

 

ok so I ran the benchmark and at the end it says that it cant find the file specified so it quit and I have no results. Any ideas?

 

really? what file specified is it looking for?

 

Crap, the NP9262 is no longer available with the 9800M GT.... I don't really want to shell out the extra cash for the GTX...

 

Try RJtech.com. I just ordered mine yesterday with the GT cards. Maybe they have a few left?!

 

just got mine ordered through rjtech and i talked to them on the phone. they still have few gt's left. well sort of through them..

 

Mine will be here next wednesday or thursday !!!

 

"Sort of through them...?" What mean you?

 

meaning... the base came from them and was sent to one of my distributors i buy from. where ill finish putting it together.

 

Very nice. Do you recall, offhand, how many they had left in stock?

 

they had some yesterday. but they are not going to tell me that number...*LOL*. and yes i tried to get it as well. they just said it will stay on there site till they use up all the cards they have left. the nice thing bout them is...you really only need to get the main parts. starting with that sli that you can't just go get anywhere else. and then you can put the rest together in your own time or you can get a complete system from them for like 2900.00 with dual gt's and a q9550

 

Thanks for the info!
