@Vox: I ran a quick and dirty test with Crysis 2's sub intro up to when you can actually start moving around with a gun in your hand. If you've played Crysis 2 before, you know that there's a lot going on in that section because Crytek likes to use the intro section to showcase the engine.

Settings used were the built-in Extreme graphics setting at 1366x768 resolution.

Fraps results was minimum 21 (at about the time Prophet lets loose with the light cannon at the alien Ceph), but tended to run around 24-33 fps in general. Remember that Fraps tends to reduce your recorded FPS from the actual ability of the hardware, so up that value by maybe 10%. I say this puts the 6770 on par with the GT 555M at least.

Heat reached a high of about 87 C, and this is without any notebook cooler in a relatively warm room with little to no air movement from the ceiling fan. System temperature returned to idle levels about 3 minutes after stopping the game, but went down to about 60 C almost immediately after stopping. Be warned, the edge of the chassis near the vent gets really really hot and the left area of the keyboard (around the "F1" - "3" keys) get a little uncomfortable, like you have your hand beneath a thick blanket with no fan on.

This is the first time I've run anything at full settings and maximum resolution and still got something playable. Holy s%#t is the phrase that came to my mind, but let's be honest, Crysis 2 isn't as demanding as Crysis was on the hardware at the time.

I'm also happily impressed with the dv6's cooling. It can work well without a cooler, but I think I'm going to get a U2 tomorrow for safety's sake.

@Acid_RuleZz: Yeah, my HDD is also a Hitachi. Maybe you're using a different version of HW Monitor? I'm running the 64-bit version 1.17.0

just compare your scores with this one

and you will see how close a stock 6770m to a stock gtx 460m

sure man.. 1min googling is more than enuff

I get the same 87c max on 1 of the core when i'm playing Assasin Creed 2@Max detailed without AA. The temp immediately dropped when i Alt+Tab to desktop. The vent did get hot, i'm concern and rejoice at the same time know that the cooler is working but its hot.

I'm using the same HWmonitor version as u. Maybe u accidently uninstalled driver or hp application that will give access to the hdd temp. No idea... lol

Holy S&$%t is the same words that came out from my mouth when i play AC2 and Shift 2

But an overclocked HD6770M is no where near a stock GTX460M

Hi Guys,

I'm really interested in this and have been doing some research as to where to get it cheapest
One of the authorised HP reseller I know is quoting RM3.6k with the Beats. The guy mentioned that I do not have the option of removing the Beats for a cheaper price.
So what do you guys think? Good offer?

Cheers.

GPU-Z ?

It's up 2 you whether you wanna get the Beats headphone or not, if you want to purchase this without the headphone, you may get it in Mobility Square in lowyat plaza for RM3199 without Beats headphone.

damn posionous ...

i don't think there's backlit keyboard for this dv6

what a waste without backlit keyboard ~.~
Rm3150 hp laptop will not come with great stuff .....

no backlit keyboard...you can refer to the review vid in the 1st pg...but it has backlit touchpad? =)

Why there are so many people request for back-lit keyboard? From me, I don't see any useful of back-lit keyboard unless you want to use your laptop under no light situation which is harming your eyes definitely.

It's good when u watch movie at night ^^
The backlit keyboard make ur laptop look cooler ~

it's a distraction to the movie IMHO...hey is there any difference using the built in HD3000 to play 1080p movie compared to the graphic card in side
