QUOTE(Onyx_black @ Oct 15 2009, 02:01 PM) I'll be honest, I didn't give much of my attention to the Studio XPS 1340 users on the previous thread (because I didn't own a Studio XPS 13). It's kinda hard for me to realize and understand some of the issues faced by Studio XPS 1340 owners. well, basically SXPS16 and SXPS13 are very different... SXPS16 is Intel chipset with ATi graphic while SXPS13 is Nvidia chipset with Nvidia graphic and runs on SLI as well...So if any of you would like to be the thread starter for Dell Studio XPS 13, drop me a PM and I'll do some arrangements with you. Suggestions or feedback to this thread are welcome.  anyway, if there's any SXPS13 users who dun mind contributing, pls refer to the thread in my siggy (Laptop graphic), really want to see the performance between 9400M G only, 9500M GE only and SLI... |

QUOTE(Dogta @ Oct 17 2009, 12:17 PM) Anyone thinks it's worth it to get the 256gb SSD instead of the 500gb 7200rpm HDD? The faster speeds are too alluring..but there's also the exponential price increase to consider. not to forget the lower life as well... |

well, HD4570 is 33% better than 8600M GS if we look at 3D Mark 06... in real life i expect at least 20% performance increase... so i doubt u'll lag when u play at high settings...
besides, i believe online games will stay at DX9.0C for at least 2 to 3 more yrs... DX10 is not performance friendly, and DX11 is still new... so there's not a really solid reason to get a graphic card that's totally overkill for wat u play... of course, if u play offline big title games as well, that's another story... |

try clean install instead...
get Driver Sweeper from guru3d.com to clean the old driver, then u install the new one... fyi for Catalyst Win7 beta, the driver itself has not changed since 9.7... i ve installed 9.9, but the Catalyst package itself report that the graphic driver will not be updated, and on GPU-Z, it shows as Catalyst 9.7... |
