*** Official Clevo P570WM | P570WM3 / Sager NP9570 Owners Lounge ***

by the way , I have a new issue now. The LCD brightness stuck in the highest level since I installed internal 3D emitter and upgraded my bios to 3D model. I changed windows thousand of times and did all the registry tricks but still no chance to turn down the lights

 

That's why GOD invented Prema our friend.

 

Did you talk to prema about that?

I did find this page:

https://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=77&system=5

I suggest scanning any files you download since it's not an official page.

 

Thanks, though that's the link I posted before, haha.
I hadn't noticed it said it was an unofficial webpage.
I suppose Qualcomm Atheros don't have an official website, considering only that one shows up when looking for drivers.

I was hoping to be able to find some updates, since my drivers haven't been updated since December last year.

 

They do have an official page but no drivers for your card specifically:

Driver Downloads | Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.

You could download them and see if the driver files are included anyway.

 

Thanks
I think I've found the latest drivers for my laptop (released on June 2014, whereas the ones in my laptop date to December 2013).
However, one thing that makes me a bit uneasy is that, according to Windows 7, my drivers are up to date.
Should I trust Windows?

 

That's comparing it to its own internal list which is never the most up to date on these things.

 

iirc clevo released p570wm info early feb and that took a while before releasing it to market. got a few more month to go to wait for x99, hopefully it comes with clevo lappy

 

It actually goes back quite a bit further than that. When the machine was first "released" it never actually had any units ship due to reliability consistency on the models produced. It was put back to the drawing board and revamped for release at which time there was newer hardware available and when you saw its info release earlier in the year (can't recall if it was February or what). So in short, it may take time before we see a replacement model. Don't get hopes up too high for a new model in a short timespan, these machines take a long time to develop.

 

yea, it was in feb iirc, late jan and feb was the hype which i remembered. however it dragged on forever before they actually release it, had to redo all those preorder lol. right now imho theres no point for enthusiast to go for laptop with regular 4c/8t desktop CPU simply non soldered cpu lid which will require more work for delidding and voiding warranty. probably just did it for the fact that it's cheaper, better performance than xm/mx series for 1/3 the cost.

 

sorry for the late answer. yup we already talked about it, it seems there should be a glitch in the bios from Clevo or the drivers from nVidia. I already tried 5 or maybe more different nVidia drivers. So it seems the problem is with bios.
however there is a chance the problem lies with vbios, but it was working before the 3D mod. Really don't know.
I use sunglasses when my eyes can't take it anymore

 

You could see if your reseller has a vbios from a 3d machine or can source the file for you.

 

I bought my laptop from XoticPC last year. I have 770m SLI, I think they shouldn't have this old version vbios.
Derek, if you have the 3D version vbios, would you please provide me the file? Thanks.

 

I don't specifically but if you shoot our service team an email they'll likely have it on hand to send you a link for. Otherwise we can get it from Sager for you.

 

Hi, I'm new here. My 1st post. Been a lurker for quite a while.I ran these 2 on Windows 8.1

 

See this is what I was talking about

Are you asking if those look normal scores Dark? If so then yes that looks fine

 

thanks man, I'll try your service team and see if I can get any good result

thanks Meaker for the guide :thumbsup:

 

All us resellers are here to help you guys :thumbsup:

 

meaker u gonna upgrade 980m sli for ~$1600? with almost no support, bios/driver

 

Great scores you have there.
what did you do?...because this is the highest score i got so far:

 

Have you guys got this weird issue in which, after sending your display to a TV (through the HDMI cable) and trying to lower the lid of the laptop (not entirely or a lot, just a bit), the screen ends up black (the adapter appears to be disconnected in the TV, and the display in the laptop is black)?

There are a few times in which, by lowering the lid (after sending the display to the TV, through the HDMI), the laptop just goes to sleep. All you have to do is click and it's running again. However, more often than not I end up with the issue I mentioned before (TV tells me no device has been connected, and the laptop display is black).

 

I am planning on moving to a new platform myself. As for support so long as the bios can be edited it will have the same driver support as any 980m sli setup.

 

new platform, as in desktop?

 

No just a different notebook

 

You mind saying which one?

 

Not in this section no, but while I wait I am planning on playing with a k3000m in the p570wm.

 

*goes through Meaker's forum posts*

*smiles as answer is revealed*

I'm not a stalker I swear

 

It's fine, I'll see if the 980m from that machine at all plays nice with the p570wm when I get it.

 

can u have a k3000m and then a 980m and switch between the 2? lol

 

You could use the quadro as a cad/cuda render support card or for phys-x.

 

but that defeats purposes of having two gpu slot if u only use 1 gpu.. sucks

 

You could game using 3 cores while your render uses the quadro and the other 3 cores. It would be a specific setup for sure but this is just a hold over card for me so it's not an issue.

 

Loaded up the K3000M with a little overclock to get me by

 

hi guys, I have a little strange question do you know how this hotkey app communicate with backlight controller IC?

the only thing I could find is an IC named IT7040R which has no datasheet available and connected to EC via SPI bus. and there is a PowerBiosServer running in background.
however, the keyboard backlight wont change, until the hotkey app warms up (which sometimes doesn't and backlight remains blue). So all the communication codes should be inside this hotkey and LEDKB.exe .

 

What is the next best notebook from the 9570?

 

Some of you might find this interesting. It's a dialogue between me and sales team of Eurocom.



Or 6xxx

So, you're confident it will feature the 5xxx series at least?

Our Panther 5 is based on X79 chipset so 5xxx series CPU are not supported. Besides our Panther 5 is positioned as longterm platform so constant updates are not required.

We are planning refresh of Panther series for late 2015

We do not use generic models – and your information applies to generic SKUs

So our Panther 5 is still in production for another 6 months at least if not longer

Sager themselves, and other distributors who post on the notebook review forum.

This has been widespread, I'm surprised you guys don't know. They've not updated them have they with the X99 chipset?

GTX 900M doesn’t support 3D on internal LCD display, however it supports 3D output to external displays connected via HDMI or DP ports

3D support is not available in 900M series

You can use 900M series but internal display won’t work in 3D, but you can still use external 3D display

Hi,

Do you offer any laptops that come 3D ready?

 

The 9570 did not do so well in America due to demand, other regions may suppy the model longer from Clevo, if they do so that is their decision.

 

But, is there anyone else doing it with 980 SLI? Wasn't the word that Clevo have totally discontinued production of this system? Yet they're saying they will be refreshing the very same system next year that will be able to incorportate the 5xxx series. A little strange isn't it?

 

I'd like to know...i would slap them 980 in mine.

 

Maybe they work with someone to edit the bios, if they can't get 3d working that sounds like it's not coming from clevo.

 

EDIT: Conversation removed as requested.

Eurocom have confirmed they will continue to support the P570WM/3 with the 980M SLI and are confident it will be updated to support Haswell E next year.

 

Eurocom will be doing it.

 

Another world's record eh? Is mars in the benchmarking game?

 

EDIT: Conversation removed as requested.

Eurocom have confirmed they will continue to support the P570WM/3 with the 980M SLI and are confident it will be updated to support Haswell E next year. Also adding support of 64GB of RAM.

 

8GB is a hardware limitation on the intel IMC that intel have stated is not fixable through software. It would be impressive if they got around it.

 

Man, it would be awesome if the P570WM continues to flourish. Even more awesome if it gets upgraded to X99 and 5960X.

I think every Alienware owner that demands something equal or greater than the current 18 and is turned off by the idea of going back to a desktop PC will immediately migrate to Clevo if they do this.

Lord knows that I absolutely will not buy another Alienware laptop unless is has a fully unlocked CPU mounted in a socket and dual GPUs mounted in MXM slots. Low TDP, BGA and single GPU are out of the question... I won't waste a single red cent on a poopy little toy computer like that. It's impossible to have brand loyalty if the brand offers nothing that even remotely interests the customer. Looks like that may be what happens to me. It's very sad, but oh well... wasn't my decision. Que sera, sera.

 

What if intel made an extreme edition unlocked soldered part?

 

Agreed. At the present moment it's flourishing via Eurocom who'll be the first ones to update it with 980M SLI. It's no shame to buy a laptop with a 4960 CPU and 980m SLI.

 

I was reading engadget. They (alienware) has "graphics amlifier" external gpu hooks up to their laptops. $299 without a gpu.

 

Here are benchmarks for Panther 5 running 980M SLI.
