Make sure u turn PhysX off for 3dmarkvantage to be fair with the ATi cards

My conclution. M17x sliver base is the most beautiful, wat u guys think?

Anything than black for me is nice

Black like normal edi

well, turning off physx is to be fair for nvidia to vs Ati, if turn it on, nvidia might have more load, and Ati will have advantages

+1..
The only silver owner for m17x?? i mean me..

pleasure bro.

enjoy your stay in our Mothership!

added!

how much did you brought? kinda keen your specs

if i willing to buy other Alienware, my next M17x maybe in silver. bored with Nebula Red already. Silver will looks like pure breed of baddass monster yo!

Oh, the new OSD driver for M11X finally shows volume bar on screen when increase/decrease volume.

just open up my m17x boxes..
here is some pictures..


very very excited

wolcome:respect:

all the alienware collections
belkin 17", mouse, laptop, and headset

belkin 17" , free giv.heheh

osd drvie? wat volume bar bro? =x

On Screen Display. When you use function F8, F9, last time it doesnt show volume bar on the screen.

okay, thanks bro. and btw, it only works on bios a04?

hows a04 so far? any problems?
any improved performance? or downgraded performance? @.@

I dunno bout A04 bios, but this should be under OSD driver, since it is indeed updated.

ok, btw, r u using a01 bios or a04 bios?

Yeaps bro. You been missing for a while ya? Lotsa headache installing it but finally working fine now...

After seeing all the versions bro, I think I like black now cos I haven't seen enuff silver ones to make a conclusion

True. Cos its something of an advantage to NVidia. But turning Physx on increases the CPU Scores like crazy in vantage. IIRC, My CPU scores with the i7 820QM was about 12-13k without Physx but about 20k with it dramatically increasing the overall 3dmArks Vantage scores.... turning off Physx levels the playing field and determines pure performance of the GPU Chip thats why they turn it off when doing benchmarks.....

Nice one man You have great specs... enjoy the POWER!!!


P:S: One of my friends from Aussie ordered a M17x, dual ATI 5870 CF with an i7 940XM. Can anyone shed info on this cos I can't find the option to customize this in AW USA or AW Aussie. My friends not online so I can't ask where he got it....

No le.. Turning PhysX on will increase the CPU score.. Not effecting the GPU score.. So I don't see where ATi will have advantage when PhysX is On.

@ Julchin_09 : i saw that somewhere on someone siggy too..

well, i have black red and sliver on hand......
i can say sliver is the best
For M15x i will say black the best, Red and Sliver, not ncie

Found out that the CPU was bought differently from Ebay and a swap with the AW M17x CPU to produce that MONSTER of a system..... Guys overseas are
