Sager NP9262 SLi Update

Final Magnus question. Does it play smoothly like butter on VERY HIGH at 1600x1200 or you actually need to turn back to HIGH and opt for 1900x1200 to get that extra smoothness.

These drivers I am using doesn´t give me 1680x1050 nor 1440x900 that´s why I ran the benchmark at 1600x1200.

I prefer to play in 1920x1200 High since it is native res and looks really good and yes runs better of course

 

ya know what? i had that same problem with the Clevo drivers.

and the powermiezer didn't work.

there was weird resolutions in the list. that's for sure.

 

Yeah reason I got these drivers were because they fix some SLI issues. Will see if I will update them soon, currently running 174.31 Vista.

 

You can force the resolution in the game you know.
Type
- con_restricted 0 , enter, then
- r_width 1680 , then
- r_height 1050.
It`s how I`ve hacked the game to run at WUXGA/2 (960x600) because it looks better than 1280x800,since it renders the same pixel in a similar proportion to WUXGA, 4 times less though.

I got 14940 with Vista with some background stuff running.

Installed XP Pro a couple nights ago and I actually scored 200 points less than I did with Vista, Not sure why tbh.

 

15k? not bad at all. I`d still like to see quad core results

 

I will try to get some Quad Core scores posted soon. Here is a Crysis Run with the same system w/ E8400

Crysis patched to 1.21

Setting 1920x1200 everything high no AA

I can't wait until I get my second card.

Rjtech... hear I come

 

I just benched mine with 1900x1200 single card

Overclocked 600-1500-950

 

@Veggie,

That impresses me. I honestly would like to someone to test Crysis on 1680x1050 and 1280x960 at Very High on a Clevo. That would be the settings I would prefer.

If it can run any of those settings I would consider an upgrade to 2x8800M GTX SLi. If not, maybe the next gen cards that may be here around August I suspect.

PS: I Agree with eleron X2 is the way to go, but until then ...

 

Actually 1680x1050 is not more pixels than a 1600x1200 res. 1680x1050 is essentially the widescreen res of 1600x1200.

DFTrance Very High can be run in DX9 too and don´t put as much constraint on the GPU as in running in Very High DX10. Running in Very High DX9 is easy I can do that in 1920x1200 without any problems, though running it in DX10 is another story, but you see I can even run it in Very High DX10 if you like 27-30 fps

So definitely a Clevo should pull it off

 

Just multiply the values (VxH) and you'll see. That is why I did not answer.

 

Yep already knew that
