QUOTE(MrUbikeledek @ Oct 16 2011, 06:39 PM) you tell me. i ordered M14x with i7-2630QM and a month later, the i7-2670QM version came out. Performance between 2670QM and 2630QM isn't a big gap. Though notebookcheck claims that 2670QM performance is sort of equal to 2720QM. |

QUOTE(MrUbikeledek @ Oct 16 2011, 12:01 PM) anyone know how long the M14x battery will last in sleep mode? Days? Weeks?  Added on October 16, 2011, 10:45 pm QUOTE(TongCN @ Oct 16 2011, 04:32 PM) Not sure to get M14x now or maybe wait for M14x R2 ... Later revisions will almost always be better Last time i bought M11x R2 and two months later announced M11x R3 =.=ll  I'm pretty sure the R2 won't have the weaknesses found in the R1  This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Oct 16 2011, 10:45 PM |

Guys, just repasted the thermal paste on my both GPUs, before this, they are running at 95C-100C for GPU 1 (this is the card I got from ebay which has very lousy thermal paste) and 76C-80C for GPU 2.
Now after repasting, see below  
This is taken after 3D Mark Vantage benchmark. I use IC Diamond 7, can't find IC Diamond 24 (which is better) on ebay UK. But I think it is very impressive right? Added on October 23, 2011, 6:21 pmSeems like our mothership is very quiet now.  This post has been edited by hidz7: Oct 23 2011, 06:22 PM |

The concept of 3D is to render twice the same graphics, so that when you use the 3D spectacles, it appears to be 3 dimensional (basically it is an optical illusion), so to get ROUGH estimation, divide your 2D FPS by 2, that's what you get in 3D mode.

For M17x-R1 or any model that had issue with Nvidia 285.63 WHQL driver, kindly download this .inf file and follow the instruction below;
QUOTE Guys with the M17x and 280M GPUs, i modded the inf files so you can take advantage of these drivers too, enjoy. Follow these steps: Download the 285.62 drivers to your Desktop(or wherever you want) Double click and let them extract the files in the default directory (C:\NVIDIA) download my attached archive and extract the two files cut/copy them and paste in "C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\285.62\WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver And replace originals" Go back to the "International" folder and run setup.exe continue performing normal installation steps, choosing Custom(Advanced)>Next>and check Perform a clean installation>Next and at the windows prompt choose Install...anyway Reboot when prompted and voila Don't forget to reenable SLi in nVIDIA control Panel Cheers QUOTE Download .inf file @ http://forum.notebookreview.com/attachment...285.62_infs.zip |
