johnksss Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 How does this helpf if the driver crashes and locks the card in throttle mode. No matter what machine you put it in it's still locked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J95 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I used the install instructions/sections of the K5100M 8GB, it won't fix throttle but certainly reduce crashes...remember before installing to delete the mentioned folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevorr Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I for see the 880M having major issues with the current drivers once they crash one to many times...And yes an inf edit is working as of today's test. Thanks Johnksss, might just go the dual 780,s this time round. I hate things that just come out, to new means problems / bugs every time. Will have the same specs as you! lol May need some help with settings after if that's cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have the same specs as you! lol May need some help with settings after if that's cool? For m18x R2 with 330w adapter, 680m sli or 780m sli (or even 880m) are somewhat similar in performance if you overclocked them. This is because of power lack. The 3dmark11 P-scores are limited at 13k with 330w PSU. However since you have p570wm which has factory-built 600w PSU, I'd rather wait 880m.

Q56_Monster Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Why would you go AW clevorr? You got p570wm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevorr Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Naaa, i will get Mr. Fox,s dual power brick adapter for the M18x R2 so power won't be an issue. I have the M18x R2 already just need to get some new cards either the 780M,s or 880M,s..Umm i actually have both laptops Q56_monster as i am blessed enough to be wealthy and have whatever i like which is why i have both. Umm, personal preference is the phrase, the M18x looks so much better plus i like the screen better on the AW and i totally hate the piss poor sound quality of the P570WM compared to the AW. I once had the AW m18x R2 but sold it to a mate before i could even unlock it and open its true potential..More interested in gaming now days with a little bit of tweaking rather than hardcore benching and breaking records so that is another reason why i prefer the M18x as well as its just pure Sex!!!!

Clyde Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Would be even more sexy if it had the service manual as Clevo.BTW, GTX880M, however called is still same GK104 like the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astelith Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The performance of the 880M is the same of the 780M, with same clock we have the same score... my 780M (Blue pcb) can handle 1000 on the core with 0.975V rock solid granting 9K score on 3dm11Maybe I have a lucky board...

Clevorr Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Damn @Astelith That is impressive at those volts.. Yeah so 780M and 880M at the same clock speed produce the same score ?? Mmm, Kinda makes sense as its just a 780M with higher default clock. The 8gb memory is just stupid overkill IMO anyways. Probably not even worth paying that much extra over a 780M to get the 880M.. I was thinking about this today actually as i haven't purchased the 880M,s yet.. You have started me thinking again Sorry to get off topic a little but would the Clevo 780M work in the Alienware? If yours is Blue PCB i think its Clevo yes?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astelith Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Mine is Dell, I'm curious to go deep and understand if it's only a rebrand, if is this the case Good for us with the 780m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the addition of the ridiculous memory increase.. lol BTW, don't worry about the Question i asked ppl, i found out you can use the Clevo card in the AW.. I may just buy the 780M,s and save myself about $400 each card.. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably do this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably do this as well. Well yeah i can justify $790AUD for a 780M but $1260USD is a bit ridiculous really which is what the 880M will cost and for what really?

Founder Brian Posted February 11, 2014 Founder Share Posted February 11, 2014 Honestly if you even have 680m sli there is no compelling reason to upgrade unless you are a number chaser. Wait until high performance Maxwell hits the market.Sent from my Yellow Nokia 1520 (RM-937) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am selling my P570WM which cannot take any newer cards than 680M,s and i need new cards for my M18x as the GTX 675M,s are not doing the job for me sorry to say.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega939 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 880ms are released and the price of the 780ms go down before buying the 780mhmmm but come to think of it.. one 880m is like an sli 680m/780m. If there's a stable driver for this one then good to get. Provided to wait first until driver gets stable and amd gets a counter part for this gpu, then price will be competitive :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevorr Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for that Info as well Astelith You saved me $430 each card// Yeah from the tests i have seen recently they are the same in performance clock for clock (when core clocks are same) And have also seen that the 780M has no problems reaching the same clock speeds if not more so Meh.. I thought that the 880M was something better and new at the start but now that i know its the same damn chip an pretty much the same card and obviously just a glorified top binned GPU anyhow. Sooooooo i guess there is absolutely NO reason to pay more then $400 more for it.. Yeah i didn't know what omega939 was on about there when he was comparing 680/780 SLI with single 880.. I then thought maybe he meant price wise but the SLI will still cost slightly more than the single 880. Hahaha Anyways, i ended up buying two 780M,s locally to run in SLI so no 880M,s like i thought i was going to run. I don't mind paying lots but to pay $430 more for the same thing with a dumb memory increase and it won't make an ounce difference now that im over hardcore benching which is why i didn't buy the new P570WM which is king in that department, my AW is much nicer and will destroy all the games im going to enjoy!

Q56_Monster Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So clevorr, your p570wm can't accept higher than 680s? You have earlier model or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phila_delphia Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi there and thank you very much for the test! It`s much apreciated as I was looking forward to see the specs.I was hoping to see a Maxwell based 880m. As it is right now there is (thanks to svl7!!!) absolutely no need to trade in my 680m running at 943/2340 for a rebrand.I`ll save the money for the 885m (or 980m)Best regardsphila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackxlj Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 thankyou for the review,i just bought an alienware 17 with the gtx 780,and was a bit bummed when i read the maxwell details,but as this is just a refresh,im good with my 780,will oc it if i need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
