Clevo P177SM, Core i7-4800MQ with NVIDIA Geforce GTX 780M non-overclocked

Clevo P177SM:

Intel Core i7 4800MQ with HD Graphics 4600

16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 CL10

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5

Samsung SSD 840 Pro 128GB

HGST Travelstar 7K1000 1TB

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 (external soundcard)

Windows 7 x64 Professional

so, if you want to have a midrange graphic card in your notebook, take the GTX 860M based on Maxwell. It is a little bit slower than the 680M and very efficient. The core i7 4710MQ of the Haswell refresh should make it.

It depends on the usage. My notebook (Clevo P177SM) with a GTX 780M and a 4800MQ consumes only 25W while surfing. While gaming you HAVE TO use the power supply because the power consumption is high.... about 170W without charging the battery. CAD software needs power and there you have to decide between CAD and low power software like Firefox or something else.

I agree to stark1885 to buy a lenovo notebook for mobility and a desktop for your CAD software - it's a good idea but the price could be a problem. I personally need ONE device to do all the activities and I can say, that power and mobility (efficiency too) don't exclude each other

My advice is: Buy a Clevo notebook with a Core i7 (Haswell refresh) and the GTX 860M based on Maxwell. An SSD is necessary, of course.

Here I use the 2.5'' Seagate Backup Plus with 1TB and USB 3.0. It is a little bit slower than the 3.5'' HDDs but you just don't need an external power supply for the Backup Plus HDD.

When reading it reaches a rate of 80-90 MB/s, writing is about 60-70 MB/s.

But what advantage do you have if you disable HT?

Hi there,

I'm Matt and a new member. I also use the prema mod in my P177SM. That*s what I have searched all years.

Now I'm interested in modding the vBIOS of the GTX780M. I hope I can find a solution.

Greets!
