i'm about to order an m18x-r2 with dual 680m and sell my 17x-r4 with the 7970m... just wanted to get my hands on one of those for a long time now!
would you rather get 4 x 4 gb of corsair vengeance 1866mhz or 2 x 8 gb of kingston hyperx 1600mhz? that's what im' not sure about atm.

haha, thx ;-)
yeah, have been away for a while, but i'm back now

edit: sorry, accidentaly posted another post... my brain's still stuck in POST...

thinking about it, i will probably just swap the mainboard with my old one before i sell it! best way to keep my nicely oc'able 650m anyways

soooo i ordered a new m14x-r2, i guess i'm f@cked...
-
ah nice to hear everything's up and running again! hope you get along well with it!
i like it a lot atm. before i've had some trouble with all the drivers / afterburner ini modify until i was able to overclock it. and i got a shitty driver which made the card perform bad as sh*t... but now i got it set up right and it's doing a nice job (max pane 3 atm). yeah i have been playing max payne with a 950 / 1250 oc atm. running nicely

Yeah i am loving Max Payne 3 got it just recently. I am in love with the graphics. Plus some of those bullet time shots are epic. Max Payne 3 has brought some revolutionary graphics I think. Yeah 35gb is just crazy. I read its over what was the biggest game out there... WarCrack oh I mean Warcraft. Ever since seeing WoW freakout I call it War Crack. Im working my way down from a high overclock. So far on about 970-1250 on my 7970m's. Im using 1.05v on that is that what you are using? It may not be stable and may need little lower. So far been trying out all i can on my system. Dishonored i loaded but haven't tried, Max Payne 3, Mass Effect 3, Witcher 2, Skyrim, BF3, Metro 2033, Borderlands 2, Crysis 2, Diablo3, Dirt3 and Dirt Showdown all as of recently. Trying to get a good feel for these 7970m. Hopefully the driver Brian posted about the new 12.11 Wonder Driver hopefully performance and stability were priority and not just performance.

yeah the graphics are really nice and i like the overall feel of the game
but yeah, the installsize is just epic! lol, warcrack...the only thing i like to look at about this game is some if the actionfigures. they have really nice ones. but i can't stand the game and most of the players...i have a few guys i know who play it. and if i'd line'em all up you'd be able to tell right away which ones of them are playing warcrack haha ^^i'm actually just using an afterburner oc, no voltmod or anything
i'm about to try those new drivers today hopefully. but i'm kinda unsure, at the moment the system is running really stable. and i just know....if i touch it, it will sure as hell go for the 50/50 probabilty that afterwards it will be unstabler ;-) -
Oh yeah nice Deadbydawn! Cool nice cpu overclock and not bad gpu overclock either. How you enjoying 7970m. Temps look great. Im grabbing Max Payne 3 tonight cant wait to try some of that action too. I was shocked to learn it is or is one of the largest install size games out right now at about 35gb. Thats crazy lol.

Thanks! I like this overclock, i also use it on my 14x. The gpu i just overcloked a little. It's not neccessary, as the card is a beast anyways, but i figured with the temps running the card in stock, i might as well just add some oc... and the temps still are nothing even close to worrying haha
so did you put your hands on mp3 yet?
yeah, max payne is a huuge-ass install! crazy! i will, sure as h3ll, uninstall it as soon as i finished it. i tend to leave games i really like on the system...as i replay a lot. but this one is sucking up so much space, c r a z y

here a 3dmark11 run: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor,Alienware M14xR2 score: P3197 3DMarks
i rarely use 3dmark11
btw, thx mw86! atm i don't really know what to use my 14x for. when i play, i use the 17x at home. when i'm on the move, i have my macbook with me because of work. so, atm, the 14x is sitting in my office running benchmarks haha ^^
what are you up to lately bro?
-
here a new vantage run i just did. my highest one so far.
-
so, after our honeymoon in bali, after half our company burned down (well, not really, but network-wise almost
) i'm back again what's up dudes?here's a screen after 2 hours of max payne 3 on my r4... settings all maxed out except AA (4x instead of 8x). temps are pretty sweet, i like!
EDIT: (cpu running on level 3 overclocking 43, 41, 39, 37)
-
thx bro for the clear up!
and no worries about the delay, i've been gone for over a month as well. had to spend some time in bali ;-) sorry that I am just now responding good buddy nearly 2 1/2 months later bro. CAPS http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspxCatalyst Application Profiles
its like Whitelist on Nvidia cards... its a preset profile for a few ways the game runs on an AMD card to better optimize performance... though they tend not to truly add much. its a seperate install sometimes from driver and easy enough to install over last...

its hard to say in theory it should be no problem at all. Since they dont sell 32gb 1600mhz kits with the Alienware laptop from factory you will have to pioneer and try it or keep surching if anyone has done this yet. I know you could try 4 sticks of these

for my last result there wasn't even a category yet. now i'm aiming to break the 14k barrier in vantage. =D *300-style huuuuah*
-
my 3720 idles around 45 - 50 degrees c if i use the auto system fancontrol (temps read with hwinfo). but since i have hwinfo fancontroll set up, temps idle at 37 - 40 ^^ =D
-
pushed it some more
now i can't listen to the sound of the fans maxed out anymore, gotta catch some sleep
later dudes

so i got a new mainboard with new gpu and just finished doing the repaste. my temps are super awesome...score isn't bad either so far..
Directupload.net - yt6wok3h.jpg (sorry for the bad quality...)
-
ps: i usually go up by 10 at the time and if it fails i go back from that failing setting by 1 at the time
-
-
haha ^^ i never reeally got one either
-
try +300 / +1000 if your temps are ok and then just go up with the coreclock until it fails (if you want to bench).

because cards are different. each one has it's own personal flavor of OCcapabilities. i.e. in my m17x-r3 i had 3 different 6990m, for each one i had to search for it's max overclock at first, since they were all different.
-
how i stated, the lower baseclock of the card

okay thx dude!
another question, maybe someone knows this: i ordered a single hdd setup, as they charge crazy prices for an ssd - hdd setup. so i'll just get the ssd (aa the primary disk) from my reseller and put the hdd which comes with the m18x in another hdd slot. now my quedtion: is another drivecage (and sata adapter) included (or already installed in the system), even if you only ordered a single hddsetup?
