if budget tight, go for 5870.
if budget no a problem get GTX580 for lesser driver issue

yup 6970 is more than enough. but wondering 6970 100W in M15x + Core i7 45W. work good on 150W adaptor provided by dell?
even last time my Core i7 920XM(55w) + GTX260M(65w) and other stuff of the laptop already lead me to throttle issue d

yeah baby!! play bf3 in ultra and high mixed setting now! damn nice.!!! hehe  drool.gif worth the investment... next upgrade is SSD

ps: thanks for the recommendation jul_chin smile.gif

Congrats bro. Yeah with the new card really revive our M15x! Worth the upgrade for sure coming from a 1GB DDR 5 to a 2GB DDR5. Anyways the temps differ for me as my my Thermal DIode temps have reached max of 89c and my MeMIo has reached max of 95c at the same time when im stressing the GPU with max DX-11 settings on CRYSIS 2 and METRO2033. Other than that check for ur throttling issues if any and whether you card starts up on stealth mode settings. You need GPuz for that. Your game will perform slower when ur clocks are down to 400/900 .

Good upgrade will be the 6970. Worth the price if you don't mind forking out RM1.2K at least.

For those using old version i7 u may need this tools to stop all throttle on "heat, voltage"

all review u may refer to below 2 link.

p/s: a better cooling pad and aircon needed and higher watt ac adaptor needed for my personal advises.


Throttle Stop Performance

ThrottleStop Guide


For M15x with atil6970m ot 6990m 150watt ac adaptor is more den enug juice for it. unless u go for GTX580m biggrin.gif

Yup, Mushkin start selling single 8GB SoDimm 1600 now,
Add RM1k, u got 16 GB today

Even older machine still un-officially support 16gb, as long as u use x64 architecture.

But seems the benefit is goes more to digital & 3D artist than to gamer..

Still, is a good thing... Gonna wait till the price lowered a bit, and gonna get pair for myself, hehe
