Because the quicker it happens, the easier it is for the market to shrug it off. Laptops being soldered? Nobody really cares. Desktops being soldered? Big backlash. Let them get rid of the thought of soldered anything being the only choice from the get-go. Maybe. Hard to say if it will matter. Stupid is often fatal and incurable. But, your logic is sound, if not optimistic. I rather see Intel and NVIDIA both go bankrupt and leave us with nothing AMD powered Chihuahua-grade trashbooks, desktops with AMD chips, smartphones, Chromebooks and consoles than have to put up with this. If I can't have it my way I don't want anything... screw 'em. I won't pay money for Intel and NVIDIA BGA filth... ain't gonna happen.

I rather see Intel and NVIDIA go bankrupts and leave us with nothing but BGA trashbooks with AMD chips, smartphones, Chromebooks and consoles than have to put up with this. If I can't have it my way I don't want anything... screw 'em. My logic is extended from something I heard a long time before. "When they game for <namehere> I didn't say anything, because I didn't know <namehere>. When they came for the <people here> I didn't say anything because I wasn't <people here>. When they came for etc etc" and it goes on. At the end it says "when they came for me, nobody was left to say anything". It's like that. If they get a slow-creep on all devices, and make soldered chips sell like wildfire in desktops from pre-built machines, and everything is BGA-only, then when they make the switch to mainstream high end chips and enthusiast boards/chips, who's going to say anything? They'd have pushed AMD into nothingness, they'd be the kings of performance, and what they say goes. Simple. Then when desktop gamers want to say that's bullshit, then hey what's going to happen? Everyone else will (rightfully, including myself) rip into them saying how they never lifted a finger before it bothered them, when it happened with all laptops and all lower end OEM tier machines and all mITX AIO machines like the Alienware Alpha, etc. So now they're not allowed to complain, because it's the same principle. But if they push for the whole market right now? Soldered CPU announcements, soldered GPU announcements, buy board with CPU & GPU, no multi-GPU support at all, etc? YEAH. Bring it. See how everybody get vex at everything, and we could ride the wave and push for laptops to have sockets returned and to get rid of soldered-only as the only choice. THEN we might see something. That's why I hoped it'd be earlier than later. Because the later it is, the more other ventures get time to settle, and the less likely are they to be overturned.

Red Line Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Do you know if Clevo intend to include freesync for their monitors after polaris mobile debute? Or there's still no info about such cards?) Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Clevo doesn't seem to show too much interest in AMD, but their BIOS will have the usual basic AMD support for alternative drop-in cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably doesn't help matters that AMD doesn't show too much interest in enthusiasts, especially us crazy laptop overclockers. Maybe if they stepped up with some very compelling high-end notebook components Clevo and other OEMs might change their tune. I think the ball is, and has been, in AMD's court for a good while now, but it seems like every year their forfeit to crown without so much as a half-hearted effort.

Founder Brian Posted June 7, 2016 Founder Share Posted June 7, 2016 Well the last few years AMD wasn't able to compete in performance notebooks because their stuff ran far too hot and consumed too much power. Supposedly that will change with Polaris but we'll see, I'm always skeptical of anything AMD says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us don't like to be wrong, but I know I am not alone hoping I am dead wrong this time. I'm not optimistic, but I will be watching and hoping they do something really awesome.

Guest Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Look at the specs info here... http://wccftech.com/geforce-gtx-1080-gpu-for-notebooks-specifications-leaked/ So, how do you think this will perform in the P870DM-G? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2ultima Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 That's reference Titan X performance, if that really shows up. It's not a GTX 1080 obviously, but 1080M it'd work. AMD doesn't even have a Polaris GPU capable of that performance; they have nothing to compete in the mobile sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Here's this... kind of interesting to look at. This is your basic 200W GTX 980 on MXM performance. No more, no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture confuses me. The GPU-Z says 1080M, though Clevo's own says 1080, and the 980 is still in your overlay. What do you mean by basic as well? I know you don't consider stock as "basic" xD.

Well I checked your review benches and it seems that card is a bit better by stock than the overclocked 980 in 3DM11 graphics performance. Which I would assume to be a good thing, if at stock, since a max OC'd 980 is around Titan X performance give or take. But does it overclock? Assuming that's one that Eurocom sent you to check out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nope, Eurocom hasn't sent me anything, but that's all I can say for now. Steam sure does think of weird things to call achievements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBSIDIANPC Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Clevo might not always give us what we want, but hey, at least we are getting LCD back covers with LEDs! Who cares about being soldered or not when you have Leds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
