win7 user here.. around 70 at idle without any coolers.. when on load.. not sure.. havent tested it out.. will keep an eye in the future.
a question here.. is the gaming experience between HD 4330 and 4570 big diff? both 512MB... 4330 with 450 clock speed while 4570 with 680 clock speed.. 4330 equipped with turion RM74 2.2gHz while our 4570 athlon QL64 2.1 so hows the difference for the 2? Added on October 17, 2009, 5:39 pmsept 30th. win 7 graphic driver... hmm.. anyone using... the performance better den AMD modded 9.9?? im still using the modded 9.9 This post has been edited by Batusai: Oct 17 2009, 05:39 PM |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Oct 17 2009, 06:30 PM) I think HD 4570 got and edge from HD 4330, despite the memory speed losses because of huge GPU clock speed difference, and I don't think even with faster Turion would be better i see.. thats great.. hahaa.. cos.. a fren of mine bought HP Probook 4416s at rm1999.. and the specs are the turion and 4330. lolzYou can use FurMark to check for load temperature, you don't need a long time to get the highest temperature since it was meant to stress test your GPU to the max, I just tested for a bout 2 minutes and it registered steady 90-92C. I don't know about the driver, I just satisfied with Cat 9.9 because it bring back 1280x720 resolution and I just leave it there  im using Everest to monitor my temperature.. hmm... i dont get it.. 1280x720?? i tot the default is 1366x768. why opt for lower resl?? |

basically.. i did not overclock my GPU... i feel the increase of the little clock wont do much.. for the heat and the little increase in performance.. dont think its worth..
correct me if im wrong.. u guys had significant increase of performance? |

hmmm. trying to use the AMD clock tool.. but worried.. and not sure whats to use..
when i open.. the engine speed shows 219.37 and the memory clock shows 249.75 i suppose that is when in idle mode.. how is it possible when to see them in 680 and 500?? when how should i overclock it? and my PCIE Link Width is only X8. tot its supposed to be x16. any idea? |

u cant deny heat problems in a laptop.. and especially. gaming.. the heating is definitely not a problem.. u wont feel the heat on ur palm rest. the heating part is only on the top part.. so i'd say its very good..
besides.. u can always undervolt ur CPU.. helps alot.. and yes.. k50ab has better heating system.. more heat dissipated.. big volume.. evenly distributed.. This post has been edited by Batusai: Oct 18 2009, 05:02 PM |

yes... most of the K40/50ab users use 4570 all the time.. the switching thingy is still not perfect yet.. i doubt anyone made it work.. provide a guide if anyone has..
in the mean time.. set in bios into dGPU mode.. that would only enable HD4570. HD3200 is disabled.. dont worry much.. it doesnt have much difference... just utilise the power Hybrid and u'll do good |
