full refund, the card is still fully working, with shipping cost deducted.

upgrade is not always a plug and play process. it can involve the basic knowledge. and we naturally get a large number of returns. here is an example. lucky it is fully working after removed the silver based conductive thermal paste.

upgrademonkey replied to upgrademonkey's topic in General Notebook Discussions
again ,for media/ experienced tester / enthusiasts/reviewer , we are more than happy to lend card out upgrademonkey. We only have 4 pcs. so chop chop! it is free of charge, you only need to pay for shipping. if you are good, we will even cover one way shipping. ( fully refundable deposit is required, guaranteed by paypal) send me a private message/ email lee A@T upgrademonkey D.O.T com -
I'd be much appreciated if anyone can help me with the driver issue, so we can finish with a proper review. and if you found the preview is useful, you are welcome to copy/paste to other forum. no need to contact me , and you can remove the upgrademonkey words. The 880M is coming this Feb 2014. Here at upgrademonkey we are having an world exclusive peek of the brand new 880M, the new king of mobile graphic card. Essentially a rebranded 780M with higher clock speed. Like in the car industry, there are refresh and new generation of products. This 880M belongs to the refresh, the architecture of the GPU is unchanged, while with the improvement on manufacturing process. We can now labour a higher speed at the same thermal and power allowance. There won’t be anything suprising or even exciting with the new 880M. however the limited performance gain is welcomed, with the 4K display available fairly soon as a spec option. We anticipate the Graphic performance will fairly soon become the bottlenecks of mobile again.The 880M is coming this Feb 2014.

We anticipate the Graphic performance will fairly soon become the bottlenecks of mobile again. Hardware: The PCB is the same Green colour, not the prettiest, but hey this is no beauty contest in the hardware arena .so we are not complaining. It is fascination to see Nvidia managed to squzzed 8 Gig of memory in to a gaming card. We have seen that in the K5100M,( again proud to be the first to test it) which is the king of mobile professional card. I am not sure if we are going to see massive gain from the double memory chips. Is it a marketing gimmick ? let find out later. Our testing rig is Clevo P177SM, with 4930MX the king of mobile CPU installed , 16Gh of Ram, And now the 880M. now we are having the fastest laptop ( single card) in the world. This should be no bottom neck for our new sweetheart 880M. I particularly set the keyboard to random lights, This should match the mood of Christmas handover and the Chinese new year is coming in 2 weeks. we can see the 880M model is not fully recognized in the system with the mod .inf. we can see the card is cool maxed out at 86degree C with room temperature of 21.5 Degree C. still the card throttled. The Test: let call it a mock test. (note : the 880M was tested with 780M driver, no offical driver avaiable at the time of testing, therefore we are experiencing performance bottleneck, throttling problem. with our experience of grahpic card, we can safely estimate the "Real" score of 880M should be about 3Dmark Pmode 9000-9500 , and 3Dmark 11 X mode 3000-3100) 3Dmark X mode, the gain form 3Dmark Xmode is higher, this can contributed by the extra 4G Vram, which may help with heavy load. I'd love to test the 880M with a 4K screen, (nearly bought one , at the moment only have 3 X 27inch apple cinema display sports 2560x 1440 in our stuido) same story with 3Dmark 2013 To wrap up, The GTX 880M nodoubt is the new King of mobile graphic card ,with the 8970M and 780M not far behind, but it is not getting a sound sleep with the 9970M or rumored 290M coming out fairly soon. It should be interesting to benchmark the 2 new mobile gaming kings head to head. Keep turned with upgrademonkey, we should see you very shortly.
