Greetings all... =) I will be glad to start an official N45/N55 Club V2... sorry to keep you all waiting...

QUOTE
Asus presented its new N series notebook at Computex 2011 in Taiwan, the Asus N55SF.  This multimedia laptop is bringing Asus SonicMaster Technology that developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower, and based on Intel Sandy Bridge platform.  The asus N55SF notebook packs 15.6-inch glossy / matte display with a resolution of 1366x768  or  1920x1080 pixels and paired with 1GB / 2GB of Nvidia GeForece GT555M graphics that is ideal for gaming. It's equipped with a Blue-ray Drive and 2nd generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 processors, up to 16GB DD3 RAM (1,333MHZ), with 750GB Hard Disk Drive ( 5400RPM / 7200 RPM) Besides that, it has two USB 3.0 ports, VGA out and also HDMI out.

Diagonal screen ASUS N45SF - 14 inches, N55SF - 15,6 inches


All rite.. Let's start with appearance.. There are two colours... white one and black one (Unsure that white will be available in Malaysia )
We have to admit the design is elegant, almost noble is not that bad. The Asus N55SF is made out of a blend of materials such as hard plastic, aluminium and rubber. The black glossy plastic is proved to be too dust and fingerprint friendly. Opening the lid reveals the full-sized keyboard. At first glance it may look like aluminium but the keys are made of plastic and painted with a special coat that should last long enough. You’ll find aluminium just about the keyboard where the speakers are placed. The perforated aluminium grill looks good. The power button is now a part of the keyboard and that took a while to get used to. We also had to get used with the multimedia keys placed on the first left column. If you get past these details the keyboard is really good. We didn’t experience any typing errors and the writing was smooth.
The rubber materials have a pleasant feeling but you’re going to clean the dust and fingerprints from time to time. As you can see it looks fantastic when it’s clean.

The most interesting port is (of course) the yellow one which connects the external subwoofer to the laptop. It was made out of hard plastic and it was light, not at all what we expected. However the sound quality is amazing when we fired up a video. Don’t get us wrong: it will not replace your Hi-Fi audio system but for a 2.1 audio laptop the sound was amazing. In terms of laptop audio quality it comes second after the much appreciated Asus NX90.

There are some photos for the subwoofer as well as the yellow port... wink.gif

And then to speakers...

SonicMaster is a standard that defines audio specifications based on usage scenarios. There are three different levels, with the lowest guaranteeing users clear voice and speech — this is critical in business applications. The highest level resembles the quality of a high-end audio system, with extremely faithful music reproduction. Users can choose quality levels based on need.
In addition to these objective quality levels, we also have subjective specifications, which relate to how people feel about good audio. For example, many people feel live performances sound better than recordings, and that loud volume is important in noisy environments. Some people prefer vocals in pop music and movies, and most are uncomfortable with noise. SonicMaster standards cover the entire audio system of a laptop, including the line-out and headphone sockets. Users who choose to listen with headphones or an external speaker system will still benefit from the difference in sound quality. ASUS has developed a platform that allows all audio applications to achieve optimum performance. This means SonicMaster doesn’t focus on boosting only certain aspects of audio, instead it reproduces all sound faithfully..... =) and also it comes with asus subwoofer.... brows.gif
" Bundled SonicMaster subwoofer "
In addition to the already spectacular precision of SonicMaster audio, ASUS is offering an external subwoofer to increase low-note performance and result in even more impactful output. It enables a wider sound range, providing listeners with an even richer bass experience.

Now to the GPU... brows.gif
Basically, GT555M have few versions... N45/N55 are using The GT555M version B2 with DDR3 128 bit... blink.gif
NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M is a fast middle class graphics card for laptops. It is based on the same GF106 core as the GeForce GT 445M but offers slightly higher clock rates and support for DDR3 running at 900 MHz. The other features like PureVideo HD (VP4), 3DVision, HD Audio support, ... are identical to the GT445M. The chip can be used with DDR3 or GDDR5 graphics memory. Depending on the configuration, the performance can differ significantly.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M "A" (details)

Summary from above is, GT555M A version is the GDDR5 one 96SP/128bit. while B1 is DDR3 144SP/192bit and B2 DDR3 144SP/128bit....

okay so.. let's see this
Compared to the GeForce GT 540M, the GT 555M is much more powerful. These are the benchmarks I found, all in average framerates:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Overall, it's around 40% faster. Pretty much all games are playable on medium/high settings combo at 1600x900. On the 540M, you have to go down into all medium settings at 1366x768. That, and the TDP is almost the same: 32W and 35W.

Asus has registered significant progress with its cooling technology and the N55SF temperatures were satisfying
Battery time was impressive although the N55SF is a multimedia laptop. Running in Classic mode it achieved 1.5 hours and under the Reader setting it passed the 3 hours barrier. The 6-cell battery copes well with a 15.6-inch display, a subwoofer and the powerful Nvidia graphics.

I think as far as all owner concerned, i would like to share some tips and guide for decreasing boot time... first of all, i will highly recommend you go and do a CLEAN FORMAT for your window.. it's a best way to clean ur bloatwares or wat so ever programs and return your laptop to a clean state and u r the one who determine wat to install in your laptop... I, did you this way to decrease my boot time, and hypothesis accepted... drool.gif boot time significantly dropped...

well... first of all... You will need to do back-up... 5 DVDs' ai recovery burner... if u dont know how, you can refer to user manual, or e manual... smile.gif It's kinda easy,but it took 1 hour and twenty minutes for me... okay... wat's the purpose of doing tat back up? First, it's for your recovery in case ur recovery paritition not working, u can use those 5 dvd's to do recovery.... okay so... IF YOU DID BACKUP, then proceed to second step... It will be reformat your window 7 ... but before tat, there's a optional step before u reformat which is insert your driver disc, try to see list of program/drivers... i think u need to click advance in order to view the applications/drivers tat were preinstalled... okay.. so after u get to know and ideas on which programs or drivers u need to install, then u r good to go....

All rite, reformat is kinda easy... smile.gif

First of all, you insert the win7 disc into your dvd room.
Then you will reboot your laptop. when the black screen appear, press F2 to enter bios setting,
and then you will go to boot tab, and find boot option #1, hit enter and change it to ur dvd room or Blue ray room, for my model, for instance, it shuld be Slimtype DVD A..
Then you will hav to hit F10 to save and exit...
so well now it will reboot and then a black screen with following words should pop out "press any keys to boot from CD and DVD" then u will hav to press any keys,
then will enter the setup... windows will gonna load the files... and starting windows...
then it will gonna ask you for language u wanna install, time and currency format, and the keyboard and input method... set that, and click next...
(do note that the window resolution might get low, instead of HD+ during reformat for i5 sf) and then click on the install now.
then the screen will show setup is starting... read the license terms and accept it and click next....
and select custom (advance),
so well, at here... you shall see three partitions... first it should be system recovery partition, 25gb of primary partition... DO NOT DELETE THE SYSTEM RECOVERY PARTITION, you will need tat for system recovery... Accept if u really need tat 25gb... i would say no. don touch the recovery partition...
and you should see second partition, usually named as OS (C:) and third partition Date (D:) for me...
so if u wan a clean format, you should delete tat two partitions, OS and Data D or wat so ever local disk or wat is named for your partition...
click drive option advance to delete the partition...
click okay if a warning pop out asking you whether u confirm wan to delete the partition...
all rite, then u should see Unallocated space... select it and click next...
once u clicked next, it gonna show window is installing... copying windows files, expanding window files, installing features, installing updates, and completing installation... (note that the expanding might take some time, so relax during window expanding the files) for me, it took around twenty minutes to done this process.
okay... now after the installation, the window is gonna restart, PLEASE MAKE SURE TAT YOU DONT CLICK ANYTHING WHEN IT SAY PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM DISC OR DVD.
then starting windows,updating your registry settings, setup is starting services, completing installation,
setup will continue after restarting the computer,
AND REMEMBER DON CLICK ANYTHING AT THE "PRESS ANY KEYS TO BOOT FROM CD OR DVD"
setup is preparing your computer for first use. then type in ur name and computer name, click next..
then for password, if u don wan any, leave it blank and click next.
your product key, key in the product key and click next, use recommended setting, set time and date click next and select your network...
after u enter the window, congratz.. reformat is done... a clean installation of windows....


okay... so after reformat your window, you might wan to repart your partition...
go start
then right click my computer
click manage
click disk management,
you will see the big partition.. it should be 25gb of primary recovery partition, then 100mb of system reserved after u reformat, then a big parition.. smile.gif it should be 571gb
so you right click on the 571gb, then click shrink volume
enter the amount of volume you wan to shrink
then u will see free space,
right click and click new simple volume, click next, next again, then assign the letter u wan for the new drive, then click next then next then finish...
then u r done... biggrin.gif

(Dont forget to go in your BIOS and adjust back the boot option 1 back to ur HDD instead of slimtype DVD.blue ray) so tat u get rid of the "press any keys to boot from cd or DVD"

All rite, lets proceed to the installation of driver/softwares from your disc.
tat's kinda easy...
first insert your disc into your dvd room/blue ray room
then run,
then u will see all the ticks on the recommended applications and drivers, from here u can tick or untick the programs u wan or don wan to installl
Personally, i installed all the drivers accept IRST, and then for recommended applications, i install INF update driver, touchpad, bluetooth, wireless console 3 and P4Gear...
that's all... smile.gif You may tick any program u need...
after tat, click start, then it will ask install now? you click yes, then wait for the drivers to be installed... it will be automatically installed, frequent reboots, and then you might need to get a cup of tea or coffee at the mean time, for some of the programs or driver, it needs you to click okay if it ask you whether you want to reboot or not... nod.gif after done, you can go start > then right click at my computer > then manage, then click device manager, see if any unknown device.. if no, then congratz.. reformat and install driver is done... cheers.gif

All rite... after facing one week of internet prob and some difficulties, finally i can write my own review rite now... well.... let's start with the look.... hmm... black colour not bad.... juz tat i really did put all my hope in the white one... ^^ oh well... i bought my 55sf (i5) with RM2699... at first, i tried to bargain the price, but only deduct RM50 for the exclusion of free gifts.... so i took the freebies, it's some useless thingy for me... haha.. a "classic" cooler pad, laptop lock, headset, lcd cleaner, keyboard protector... i bought my baby with 10 DVDs... biggrin.gif well... let's start from beginning.. hmmm. i walked into the shop, and then i tell the promoter i wan to test 55sf... because the display unit is not turned on... so.. i wan to confirm tat 55sf i5 is equipped with matte screen and HD+... so then the handsome promoter took 55sf out in a unsealed box (one thing i wan to say is the open box tradition here in my city, i hate it!) they claimed tat they will open the unit once it arrived at their shop, to make sure that the laptop is fine... some of them claimed tat they need to preinstall softwares for the customers so that they no need to wait after they paid..

Actually, i intend to buy a sealed unit, but no choice, i hav to buy by tat time to make sure the laptop is workiong fine before i leave my city next week... (i personally experienced EOL for N53s and n53sv) lol... tat's a quite bad experience,so i buy this baby after contemplate in a shorter preiod of time compare to n53sn and n53sv... hahaha.... tongue.gif all rite, erm, the promoter took sf out and turn it on... then i ask him can i feel the laptop? then i DXDIAG it, and also insert my external HDD to run cpu-z and gpu-z and test he 2 usb 2.0 ports and 2 usb 3.0 ports.... but one thing i hav to say is the desktop is full on programs and bloatwares... later i will provide relevant screenshots to support my statement here... haha laugh.gif then i check if there is any dead pixels.. i check for scratches.. hmmm... type on it... then i bought it home lol..... First nite, i apply the charging theory (8 hours charge) although i know tat's not necessary but i did it cause i arrived home at ten something and i slept after leave it charging overnite... haha...

the next day, i woke up, i start to explore it... 91 programs installed, 4.53gb hahahaha then i was like O.O?!!! The boot time is slow... then i play music, then i was like hmmm? not bad, the subwoofer can barely replace ur 2.1 if u open quite loud... haha... but still i love the subwoofer as it's not tat bulky compare to my 2.1 which is impossible for mobility... i did bring y 2.1 to college before this, it's a nightmare when u wan to bring it to and back from collage... i can hear "thum thum" sound from the coke... i am satisfied with it, and i start to play around with asus sonic master... hmmm. can adjust bass, all those... i try to turn it off, it really makes some diff if u turn the sonic master off... brows.gif all rite.. hmmmm. then i did gaming... first game is er,nba 2k11... with HD+ resolution and all max... i am impressed because i am not able to do tat with my dekstop... hahaha... my internet is down tat time so i cant really reach lowyat or sifu here and cant download any test program for testing or stressing my laptop.. so by the time, i only play games tat i downloaded before this and kill some time... nod.gif

until er... 27 of august i think, i brought my lappy out and try to apply screen protector... at first, the seller said it's bad to hav screen protector attached, will spoil your screen bla bla bla... but after contemplate for some time, i planned to get one, juz in case my fren touch my dear screen with his finger. xD. then i installed a lid protector tat's NOT FIT at all. =.= juz a temp one to prevent the finger prints to get SO obvious... again and again... finger prints will kill you if u really don like ur lid to be full of prints like me... i like the matte screen, i try to shine my screen using LED emergency light.. haha... and i love the resolution... hmmm. i will say,i am used to my HD+ and when i use my desktop, i was like wat?! the resolution is so small... the desktop icon is so big! uncomfortable... hahahaha .... until er today... theoritically, i say today i juz can online after changing a new modem... although my old modem is still working but not compatible with the changed phone line... smile.gif currently typing on my lovely 55sf... erm.. i will say i5 is sufficient for me so far... and the... gpu i am satisfied with it... =) although it's crippled vb2 version.... but one thing i wan to highlight is if u r using the old GPU driver, your optimus will not working properly... for example, u can see clearly at ur notification icon, the colour is green plus grey... although u r not using ur GC, or idle... which means yr opti is working halfy... but u still can use ur GPU when gaming... so basically, i assume it drain more battery life when u r not using GC or doing task without GPU.... imho, you should install the new driver to get the opti working... as now, i can get a complete grey colour which indicate the gpu is at rest while not using it... wink.gif and i didnt find any flex on my keyboard, although i m not tat familiar with laptop keys yet... and erm... the multimedia key is quite useful... the volume up and volume down key is cool too... as well as p4g switching button... but one thing is my music now is not working... haha... will try it when i do another clean format lol... oh well... the batttery life i will do a test on myself and post it here..... notworthy.gif This is my review, correct me if i am wrong and thank you for reading them...

Yeah, I understand what you mean laugh.gif
Been having some problems with the Notebook Price Catelog as well... too much contents doh.gif

Anyway, just came back from Digital Mall after buying Ivan's CM U2 laugh.gif
Managed to play with the Asus N45/55Sf again...
The touchpad buttons are not good imho.... seems like very hard to press laugh.gif
And the i5 variant really comes with HD+ laugh.gif
Couldn't get my hands on an i7 variant though T____T

The port placements is not very good.... The Lan port is on the middle on the left of the laptop... and almost all of the USB ports are at the front hmm.gif

so nice you get to try out the laptops. I don't have time to go out to try them out.

I'm only confused about one thing, why dont they make the speaker pop out like those in SN/SV series. Its really cool imo.

hahaha, those promoters don't have experience actually. They just promote whatever laptops, for commission.

I think you should go to Boulevard. Go to IT Super Store. The green colour shop. There's a dude there really pro. I bought my laptop from him. He knows a lot about processors, graphics, specs, he helps to install programs that u want (I got full Adobe programs like Photoshop, After Effects, Sony Vegas pro, Microsoft Office 2010 brows.gif ) although i know can download myself....

cant wait for Raya holiday next week. Then, I'm gonna follow my dad go to Boulevard and Parkson to molest SF laptops ! and i will buy N45SF rclxm9.gif

anyway, i thought Trance4eva has N53SN, he has 2 laptops? rich....

and i think SF i7 doesn't have HD+ is because the 15.6" looks better on 16:9 resolution (1366x768) instead of 16:10 resolution (1600x900)

and 14" looks better on 1600x900

Asus MY ALWAYS get their info wrong. Just like wad happen when the Sin Chew Paper advertise N53SN for RM3299....but the real price was RM3499 during that time.....their lost anyway laugh.gif

But Lenovo is the worst la.....i dun wanna start dry.gif

the y570p still sucks for me cause the GT555M is 96 cores 753MHz (GF108), 128Bit GDDR5.
Not much of diff compared to my GT550M laugh.gif

Its like 2 seconds smooth, then 2 seconds like slight lag, then 2 seconds smooth again, then 2 seconds slight lag again. Can anyone help on this?

Anyway, just came back from Digital Mall after buying Ivan's CM U2
Managed to play with the Asus N45/55Sf again...
The touchpad buttons are not good imho.... seems like very hard to press
The port placements is not very good.... The Lan port is on the middle on the left of the laptop... and almost all of the USB ports are at the front
I kinda like the touch pad because the area of touch is large..as large as Apple's Macbook but same as u,i dont like the touch pad buttons.The port is indeed weirdly placed...USB ports placed at the bottom of each side

Bro, i try all the methods but my bootup time still around 70sec after clean format
any reason behind this??
U have to do some tweaking to lower the boot time.One of them is by disabling Aero effect.The rest...try google

You and Simon haven't buy, I already feel jelly.  

GT555M man. Can play Crysis 2 at hardcore settings with smooth FPS. My GT540M can only run less than 15FPS for Crysis 2 hardcore....lolx
Hmm..those benchmark u get from notebook review is kinda different because our GT 555M here is type B2.

hahaha, those promoters don't have experience actually. They just promote whatever laptops, for commission.

I think you should go to Boulevard. Go to IT Super Store. The green colour shop. There's a dude there really pro. I bought my laptop from him. He knows a lot about processors, graphics, specs, he helps to install programs that u want (I got full Adobe programs like Photoshop, After Effects, Sony Vegas pro, Microsoft Office 2010  brows.gif ) although i know can download myself....

cant wait for Raya holiday next week. Then, I'm gonna follow my dad go to Boulevard and Parkson to molest SF laptops ! and i will buy N45SF rclxm9.gif

lol... i went thr too.. no pro i can search off... xD... i ever went boulevard it super store, ask them do u hav Jay chou's N series laptop? tat time still havnt reach miri.. then they are like laughing at me... something like jay chou? laugh.gif xD.... lol.... let's date...

and i think SF i7 doesn't have HD+ is because the 15.6" looks better on 16:9 resolution (1366x768) instead of 16:10 resolution (1600x900)

1600x900 is 16:9 yo..

so confirmed the i7 version is just 768p?

well driver now i'm still using 268.47 coz it comes with asus and the latest 280 something still have some issue. How to make sure its my GT555M running? Well the nvidia tray sure show assassin's creed brotherhood. And when i starts the game only hardware monitor starts showing GT555M. Izzit becoz the game launcher not compatible? Coz i'm not sure whether this launcher is 32 or 64 bit. Coz i saw some game has different launcher for 32 or 64 bit

Clean format right????or format to factory default
If u format to factory default, Nvidia driver is still there....the DVD version

Oh yea, make sure ur installing the driver for the NOTEBOOK VERSION and not DESKTOP VERSION........like what Ivan did laugh.gif he was scratching his head to find a simple solution laugh.gif

I also have no idea if a game uses more CPU or GPU processing power.

All i know is MW series and Black Ops uses more CPU power than GPU

i'm just saying tho... even if it quad core optimized doesn't mean the different is huge.. i think in ur case probably just driver/configuration problem. time to test few versions of driver. tongue.gif

install MSI afterburner and enable the OSD function to check whether ur GT555M really working his ass off or just 'goyang kaki'. laugh.gif

if still same.. then erm..


u need those that can monitor and give u graph of the core clock and load over the time u run the game....


if u see it go up... and down steeply.. even though load is still 100%... then means throttling happened....

Ok, i used Furmark to burn-in test the graphic and at the same time i burn the cpu too, the GPU stay stable at 85 degree, im doing this in non-aircond room and without any cooler.

GPU clock, Shader, Mem clock and all value remain constantly through out the test, so i dont think it is throttling.

Isn't exactly throttling, just have spikes which makes the games will run smooth..

Can you try the slider to slightly like Core 700MHz and press apply. Then try again furmark and observe the graph ?

p/s please save image in jpg. PNG too slow for me to load XD

It is, but that's not throttling, throttling you would have the GPU run at 200MHz for 5 minutes to let the heat drop then back again to 675MHz until reach thermal limit then drop again to 200MHz for 5 mintues and so on..

@htpkevin, can you try disable Aero, and set everything on nVidia control panel to performance instead of quality ?
Then furmark on GPU default clock..
The Windows power option, leave it at Balanced.

The GPU clocks.
Currently the N45SF seems to be downclocking itself if under stress..
Underclocking/Overclocking doesn't seems helping..

Will do. Is this normal for new Asus laptops or is it something entirely new?
I'm not sure I've seen any problems on the U series or other Asus lappies so far.
Or am I wrong? I feel kind of lucky to have others buy them first lol.

It won't exactly directly solve the problem. We're still trying to identify the problem and so far got 1 N45Sf having similar problem.
So we need more data whether this problem is across the whole N45SF or it just a defect..

MSI AfterBurner: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm
Furmark: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

Download, install and run both of it. Start Furmark and monitor the MSI AfterBurner, you should see some graph on it. See if the 3rd and 4rf graph is constant or there is sometime dropping..

If it's hardware, the problem is even worse isn't it? Since it's a frigging laptop.

it could be just me, not necessary all N45SF. Thats why we need more N45SF users to test....

Will do. Is this normal for new Asus laptops or is it something entirely new?
I'm not sure I've seen any problems on the U series or other Asus lappies so far.
Or am I wrong? I feel kind of lucky to have others buy them first lol.

@tj the problem is with the graphic. It seems that when it is stress it tends to underclock it self. So far I tried assassin creed brotherhood and its like 2 second smooth then slight lag for 2 second then smooth again then lag. Keep going like that. Even I off everything to minimum it's still persists. But I tried portal 2 and mass effect 2 both all maximum and it's very smooth with constantly 60 fps


@duckies I think it's underclock rather than undervolt hmm. Like throttling like that. I think some factors are preventing it to run even at default. It keep lowers it. And I don have a 120w power brick to test....

I do wait for a long time, the graph is constant, and i decides to make the graph this shape by changing the clock speed during test.
saves upload time, haha.

It is, but that's not throttling, throttling you would have the GPU run at 200MHz for 5 minutes to let the heat drop then back again to 675MHz until reach thermal limit then drop again to 200MHz for 5 mintues and so on..

@simon3041, time to put Nx5SF thumbnail for this thread laugh.gif

LOL!! eh, sifu... i realised that using thumbnail doesnt change many.. still got blank one LOL!!! sweat.gif tat's why i change back to image code.... laugh.gif

Thanks for letting me know. I see Rocket Dock on your desktop, but no Rainmeter? You're talking about Rainmeter from rainmeter.net right???

I just had a look on YT of people using both programs, and Rainmeter looks SOOO complicated. WTH is it suppose to do again? Hahaha ^^ (RocketDock on the other hand, is very straightforward)

Run powermizer, untick enable powermizer, instant apply.

or try Fixed Performance Level,
maybe can try adjust the "Overheat Slowdown Override"

lol, i called them just now. Then i told them about this problem. He said i'm the first to call in with this problem(the underclocking). Then it saids maybe is driver problem, then i said the latest 280.26 driver still haven't support yet. And told him other N55SF users doesn't encounter this problem. Now he said he will confirm with the spec specialist and call me back later.

(i didn't tell him i modded inf file though)

The service center called me back again. But he couldn't offer me a good solution>.< He said not hardware problem coz if watch HD movie no problem also then shouldn't be hardware problem. While i told him other N55SF users with the same spec as mine didn't encounter this problem, and he dunno how to answer me also>.< I guess i'm the first to get this problem

Its should be glossy.Its matte in ur case maybe because of the screen protecter.

I have got my N45SF and everything is fine except VGA
I could not run a game without any problem. I changed the setting in Nvidia control panel to run the games with Nvidia GPU but still some games are problematic and some of the like PES 2011 could not run.
In PES 2011 setting it says the GPU is Nvidia 555 but it says its ram is 64MB and it is less than enough and there is no way to change it.
I have downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia website but it said cannot find the suitable VGA to install the Driver and I am sure I choose the correct one.

Better go the asus centre directly and ask the technician to test it and pinpoint the problem.

This is matte screen, did you place the screen protector or it natural? where u bought it?

So the Asus N45/55/75 dont have backlit keyboard, am I right?

http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm
http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

download this 2 programme. One is call furmark another one is call msi afterburner. U just open afterburner, it will show something like a graph at the right side. U just open furmark, no need to modify anything just hit burn-in test. While let it run look at the graph of the MSI afterburner. Much appreciate if u could share a screenshot of it. Let it run like 5 minutes.

Asus policy can 1 on 1 exchange if its hardware problem. I'm on 5th day ady. So i think i will go over there tmr. Coz a few users have this problem ady. So i think very high chance its a hardware problem. If it is i think i will demand them to change a new unit for me


@lee sifu, just now something funny happen. I opened up assassin's creed brotherhood but left it too long coz i went to toilet. Then when i come back it was playing the intro movie. Then i watched the movie fully then only enter and try. The game went perfectly smooth. MSI afterburner smooth also. But then i wanna try again, i quit the game and try again then cannot ady@@

guys.. i just bought my asus n45sf. Few days back i had installed crysis warhead game, and i set the display setting at mainstream only.
But, unfortunately the game still not smooth. too much lagging. Is the optimus technology working? is there any setting that i can set to run this game smoothly at higher setting? thanks smile.gif

Check the nVidia icon, does Crysis listed on the program that is using nVidia ?
Have you added Crysis on nVidia Control Panel? (Go to 3D settings)

black ops also somewhere around there. But worth trying. Crysis those are heavy and really demanding one. That will make the problem prominent(if have problem). Awaiting your furmark+afterburner test ya xD

QUOTE
Matte screens don't get glare or reflections on them; however, the same rough surface (polarizer) that reduces the intensity of reflected light results in less contrast and brightness since the light from the LCD screen passes through it. Matte screens diffuse light instead of reflecting it so they might be easier to read outdoors, if the backlight provides enough brightness. You don't have to worry as much about reflections as with a glossy screen.

Glossy screens have vibrant colors and the highest contrast and brightness because they have a smooth, high-gloss surface. As a result, it is often the choice for movies or gaming. However, strong lighting causes glare on these screens which is very annoying and may tire your eyes if you have to stare at it all the time. You can also see reflections on the screen. Some graphics designers may also find the colors inaccurate. Glossy will work great for you if the lighting in your room doesn't create any glare on the screen.
I believe my N55SF is matte screen coz my screen fits the highlighted part biggrin.gif

ok. U just download furmark and also MSI afterburner. Then:

1. u start MSI afterburner. U will see it showing ur gpu clock speed and right hand side there got something like graphs one.

2. then u start the furmark. Once u open it, no need to modify anything, just press burn in test. Then another window will come out and some graphic running. Now ur gpu is undergoing stressing. Let the test run like 5 minutes or so

3. then u click back MSI afterburner. Observe the graphs. If can, take a screenshot and post it here, so we all can discuss

I doubt they will do the exchange on the spot.They still need to rectify the problem first and see how it goes.
Maybe they wait till 7 days and proceed only to change the entire motherboard.Thats also possible.At least better than running on ur current conditions laugh.gif

Dunno what is the problem.
ask them to check first.If they say need motherboard change, ask them to order first and once the mobo arrived then u bring in the lappy.
Mobo change will only takes 2-3days.I know because i oredi change my 5750G mobo when the SB problem arises earlier this year

At the road between Lowyat and Sg. Wang, just cross the road to the right side. The service centre should be in that building.

ok. U just download furmark and also MSI afterburner. Then:

1. u start MSI afterburner. U will see it showing ur gpu clock speed and right hand side there got something like graphs one.

2. then u start the furmark. Once u open it, no need to modify anything, just press burn in test. Then another window will come out and some graphic running. Now ur gpu is undergoing stressing. Let the test run like 5 minutes or so

3. then u click back MSI afterburner. Observe the graphs. If can, take a screenshot and post it here, so we all can discuss

Done.. Run for 5mins +

The graph is fluctuating.Thats not a very good sign.
Maybe the entire N45 is affected?
