I am, but im alright without the insert too![]()
That what i did too, Gotten my Slappa way before i ordered my Notebook.![]()
That's not Happening on my Sager.. hmm.
-
-
Where does slappa ship from? North Carolina?
-
Anyone able to get the latest nvidia drivers installed on this thing?
-
Nope, you need the modified INF's from laptopvideo2go
-
Well I just placed an order for an X7200. I decided to go with 460M GTX Sli instead of the 480M GTX. I just could not justify spending the extra money on GF100 chips when GF106s are available. Plus I have seen no benchmarks yet for the 460s in SLi either so figured I might as well try em out and be a guinea pig.
The best thing to do would be to wait and see if better cards come out soon based on the GF104, but I hate waiting... -
the 480's are great cards.
-
Oh I have no doubt they are great cards, I just have a sinking feeling that shortly after I get my hands on the lappy, a new GF104/106/108 based card will come out that will be better than the current 480's (or reeeally close in performance to them).
I really hope that I can OC the 460's to be close to the 480's at stock...but I am not going to bet on it though. -
You'll be able to overclock above stock Mobility 5870 Crossfire. That's a good enough reason to save the extra $720 for something coming in 2011.
Just think, that may be near enough to buy two Mobility 6000s. -
-
That would be nice if ATI/AMD comes up with some new 6000s that are supported by the x7200. I have always favored ATI just a tad over Nvidia because thier cost/performance ratio is always better.
-
its 260.99 too and its official nvidia drivers,
NVIDIA DRIVERS 260.99 WHQL -
Nope those don't work. They say can't find compatible hardware.
260.xx from nvidia don't offer support for our expensive machines. Lame! -
btw guys how do you do a clean install of driver for gpu?
would like to revert back if something goes wrong for me -
They'll probably be amazed by it's giant PSU rather than the notebook itself. -
Look again on the right of the DOWNLOAD DRIVER. -
When do you guys think 580M would be available? Two-three months? And would clevo folks put it in X7200? I presume it would have lower power consumption than 480M, if one goes by desktop cards power consumption trend.

I would not expect it for a while. Also keep in mind, it is a desktop 580....so GF110 will probably be called a mobile 680m lol....this is nvidia here....
-
-
click "INF Modified" and replace the file in the nvidia driver
-
so how did the drivers fares? Works any better compared to stock Drivers?
-
yeah,how are these new drivers fare?

^^^Just to let all know my experience with the modified 261.00 drivers. In my case my performance dropped several hundred points in vantage
As for now (or until someone finds a real good one) I am sticking with the standard 5951 Sager drivers...
____ -
So i have been reading a lot about the 7280, but cant find a comparison of the SLI 460m to single 480m or SLI 480ms anywhere, also i see some people are very unhappy with the screen quality - not ideal for photo editing, but i will mostly be gaming, has there been any news yet of a new powersupply?
Im planning on buying one as soon as tomorrow... probably from PCtorque as they will accept a Aussie Mastercard for payment to a US address and this will expediate shipping
- i plan on buying the 950, and waiting until the 990 extreme comes out, but
not sure to go with a single 480 ar dual 460ms!!!!

What do you think???? -
You mis understand my question, your ASUS "MAY" have the same screen as the sager (and its pretty crap apparently) compared to the sRGB of your Alienware M17, my question was as you have both you should be able to say with some authority if the AW Screen is indeed a lot better!
have a go here, LCD monitor test images on both machines please.
It may help a lot of people out, myself included, I am looking at using a x7200 with and without another screen, but if the primary moniter is crap id like to know if and how much it would cost to upgrade before i buy, and i am planning to buy this very soon!
thanks!!!! -

Nice test/calibration page!
+rep'd -
Illumination: 84 %
Black: 0.12 cd/m²
Contrast: 1158:1
In addition, viewing angles are very good.
Brightness could be better though - Average: 153.6 cd/m²
I'd rate this screen as one of the best TN panels, second to the RGB LED found in M17X, M6500 and a few other business laptops.
As for upgrading, I'm sure options will appear down the road, as soon as there's a RGB LED 1080p available. I'll grab one personally, especially if it's an IPS -

Is that the new company you were talking about starting aikimox? To make notebooks the way user want them?

link in sig.
that way...we can get all users from all over the board involved to come share their thoughts on the matter. -

"post deleted"

They removed the delete post option a while ago. Now only mods can do it.

Hey guys, I need yer help. I got myself 2 120gb vertex II at raid-0. strangely my bootup takes up a minute. my strip size is 128kb.
even my m17x boots faster with just one ssd. -
Larry@LPC-Digital Company Representative
It has been reported that the Intel SSD's are doing best in this system up to now... -
cookinwitdiesel Retired Bencher
Well, Intel SSDs ALWAYS do good
-
-
Although I will still go for OCZ unless I'm loaded... Or more loaded than I am right now lol

Hey I'm looking at getting this monster. I am in need of a semi portable editing machine. I work completely with the Adobe suite. Premiere and AE mostly. What graphics setup will I get the best performance out of for my work. SLI 460, 480, or SLI 480?
-
SLI 480 will be much faster than SLI 460. Plus you can use the CUDA for processing.
Semi portable is indeed the word. Battery is purely a UPS with life around 40minutes in web surfing.
I am actually looking into a super portable to take to meetings so that I don't have to lug this beast around the office. The power supply makes it a royal pain to carry in your hands. The battery at least lasts until I get from my cube to the conference room.
-
Also enable it in device manager too
Enjoy, I have the same SSD's as you -
Guys,
What is everyone using to overclock there 980? I downloaded the extreme utility from Sager, but I can not get it to open, it starts and then just sets there at the display page. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! -
It realy pays of then, to wait for their 3rd gen.
And i ve been waiting like forever....
