Tak nak Crysis 2... Nak tengok result @ Crysis 1~

for crysis 1 i play at 1080p with all settings at ultra (enthusiast) except shadows and blur at medium. hover at 30-40 fps.

for witcher 2 i set all to very high, 1080p, hover at 30-40fps.

my OC is 790 core 1000 memory. can probably go higher but it gets unstable at 800 core.

or you can just refer to notebookcheck's benchmarks. http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD...0M.43077.0.html

so after u apply the thermal paste .... the max temp reduced?

wow.. how can you game at 106C? your GPU doesn't throttle itself?

that's waaay to high.

my GPU starts throttling down to 400 Core 900 mem when it stays at 90C for more than 10seconds and I found out that the Thermal Pad (not paste) is not applied correctly, i corrected the error and reapplied new Paste, you have to reapply because you have to take apart the GPU and the heatsink.

I will upload my GPUz log for after and before i applied the paste when i get back.

edit: I idle at 58 - 60C, which is normal for 6970m.

maybe i nid to reapply paste d... since i havent done it before

Can teach me? I is afraid T________T

lol i plan to do it XD?
nid to do some research ahead

use these guides

the 2nd link is for gtx460 but they are very similar, you can reuse the thermal pads, i've been unable to find any pad sellers around KL.

it is not hard but you must be very diligent, make sure you prepare all the items listed, add in a air-can just in case you need to blow off dusks. I had a problem when i connected my GPU, i had blue lines on my display, so i blow the GPU connectors and re-seated the GPU again and it was fixed.

sure thks dude... if anything i will ask u bro

na you dont need to apply the paste on the heatsink's side, if anything you DO NOT WANT to put too much paste or TOO FEW paste.

too much paste, and you end up not transferring heat effectively between the GPU die and the heatsink.

too little paste, and you don't have enough surface area covered on the GPU die.

the point of pasting is to fill in any micro cracks on the die's surface.

vy cheap

heres my gpuz log before and after repaste ;p

both logs from playin crysis, you can see the temps on c2 log is much lower

hmm indeed
log 1 max temp is 90
the c2 is about 79

hi guys , had anyone tried SSD SATA 3 on m14x?

all sandy bridge bridge are satat III, so just go ahead and get a sata III SSD, other than that dont waste money on those sata III HDD

u wan sata III ssd mah??

2gb 6970 gc good ar??

i can say with confidence it's the best price for performance card in the market at the moment, 6990m is slightly premium but at least it's not as huge of a premium when compare to the overpriced 580m. and the 580m is just a slightly overclocked 485m (no extra hardware), whereas the 6990 has more cores than 6970m. look at the spread sheet below and you'll be able to see a clear difference between the 2.

Thanks . Finally there's something for me to upgrade my m14x

bro, u cant compare on paper work......

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, are you saying we should ignore official spec sheets, benchmarks, reviews..etc and just buy with preference? without doing some homework?

howabout you make a better argument other than saying "don't compare to paperwork"? you want benchmarks? the 6990m and 580m are neck in neck in benchmarks. real world Game performances? same thing. 3D? the 580m 3D does not work in m17x r3 at the moment. Driver support? AMD/ATI's support has been uptodate so far, even enabled MLAA, that's something nvidia has yet to release themselves. price point? the 6990m is a 300USD upgrade, the 580m is a 600USD upgrade. Phyx and CUDA support? cool i guess, but with a 300USD premium on top? not my cup of tea.

I know some people will still choose the 580m due to nvidia preference but hell any person that has done their homework would know which one's is the better deal.
