QUOTE(htpkevin @ Sep 4 2011, 09:48 PM) well KongorJr passed it to me. And his laptop is running it. Thats why i dare to flash it lol. If not i wouldn't also. By any chance the service centre can get so advanced bios much earlier than what is uploaded? Coz website only has 213..... this is like 215@@ Run CPU-Z and click on the Mainboard tab to see when the BIOS was actually released |

GT555M on the N55SF is way better than GT540M le if want to play BattleField 3 at High Performance i think GT555M can play it at low FPS....but that just my guess. Have to get the game to try it out |

QUOTE(mkhairie @ Sep 4 2011, 10:02 PM) Dear all sifu's.. GT540M and GT555M there are quite some gap in between. The performance difference is about 30%. And seeing ur budget, u could easily get N55SF with i7. But there is one catch here, N55SF with i7 now comes with max resolution of 1366x768 only.I'm getting a new laptop and a newbie here..

But I wonder either this model could coup with BF3 graphic at high performace..  I'm such a hardcore gamer and seeking new laptop which is compatible to play BF3... Thanks kevin for your help.. If there's any other good info please post okay.. Dear Sifu Trance... Have you tried "World in Conflict" and Battle Field2"? How's ur comment? Is there any other heavy game that u have tested?

Coz i haven't really read much about BF3, so i can't give much comment on that. But so far, in MSI 620EX also uses the same GT555M as in this new asus N series, it can run crysis 2 @ 1366x768 ultra setting+directX 11 + high resolution texture at around 25 fps.30% gap is a big different... hmmm...

QUOTE(mkhairie @ Sep 4 2011, 10:20 PM) Dear Sifu Kevin, I tell you one thing, World in Conflict and Battlefield 2 works pretty smoothly on high on my old GT335M equipped A42JV. It's gonna be peanuts for the GT555M. I can even play Crysis 2 on high settings and still get a good 30+ FPS. 30% gap is a big different... hmmm...

QUOTE(mkhairie @ Sep 4 2011, 10:20 PM) Dear Sifu Kevin, and err BF3 haven't official release yet, so we can't really tell much also. But as for mid range gpu, this GT555m can consider one of the top among the mid range gpu ady. If for high end, like GTX460m, GTX560m those type the price gap is real big30% gap is a big different... hmmm... But I wonder either this model could coup with BF3 graphic at high performace..

QUOTE(Ikmal91 @ Sep 4 2011, 10:30 PM) Hmm....now I'm still waiting for sifu Devour to contact me about my Nx5 D: still waiting for white colour? Ikmal izzit possible next week u accompany KongorJr go to the service centre. Coz u seems more well aware of the situation. And i don think i will be able to make it, if not i will go there myself also. and have a look at the new test.QUOTE Guys, i discovered something strange. Can u guys N45sf or N55sf users run some test? First, guys go and get batterycare. Install it, double click on the icon and detailed information. U can see charging and discharge rate. Secondly, plug in ur battery and pull out your adapter. Note the discharge rate and post it here pls.(if ur battery is 100%, discharge it a bit by playing games or something heavy, coz we wanna see the net wattage here) Thirdly, plug in ur adapter(battery still in there). Then open up MSI afterburner and furmark test. Start the burn in test. At the beginning of the test the gpu should still be able to run at default speed for some times.(NOTE the charge/discharge rate also, and post it here). Then after a few second maybe the gpu will start to underclock and spiking(note the charge/discharge rate also, and post it here). And i encounter one problem here. When i started the furmark test with adapter and battery, when the graph is still running at default speed, i hear a high pitch 'yeee yeee yeee' sound from my laptop. Then after some time, when the gpu starts spiking, the sound is gone. Guys, pls run this test and let us know the result can? C/D rate(battery): -23.3 C/D rate(adapter+battery and running furmark, gpu still at default clock): +2.3 C/D rate(adapter+battery and running furmark, gpu starts spiking): +23.3 Guys can u pls run this test? No matter N45sf or N55sf. We would like to compare. And pls tell us whether u hear the same high pitch 'yee yee yee' sound. This sound can be some physical circuit problem or some power issue. Pls do help us. Coz this may lead to solving N45SF's throttling problem. for those who haven't run the test pls do so. Thx in advanced. much appreciated This post has been edited by htpkevin: Sep 4 2011, 10:33 PM |
