Hands on Dell Precision 7710

You have thunderbolt - "W/T-C" is what you are looking for.

 

I am on my 3rd 7710 as all three have had issues with dynamic video switching. I have the W7110M card and Win 7. DELL will be issuing a recall on this config's LCD panel to fix the issue soon (July). I have been working with the DELL engineers directly on this since the very first day the 7710 was released.

I am expecting my 4th 7710 in the mail in a week or so, but this time I am getting the M5000M instead of the AMD card.

 

Did you do any benchmarks on the W7110M card? Would really like to know how it compares to the M5000M.

 

(holidng out hope here for the NVIDIA M5500M...)

 

Do you have any details about what the recall entails?

I've been having a bunch of issues with my display staying completely black when resuming from sleep. Even when setting the machine to never sleep, and simply having the display turn off after a period of time, the display doesn't wake back up but the keyboard LEDs light up.

 

With non certified drivers from AMD (card shows as Radeon 390 RX) Fire Strike 3D Benchmark score of 6325

With certified drivers from AMD (card shows as W7170M) Fire Strike 3D Benchmark score of 6137

 

The recall is for a ROM on for the LED panel. This particular recall will be for those that are having a problem with the device disappearing from the device manager with Switchable Graphics enabled in BIOS.

 

That puts the performance in between the Nvidia M3000M and M4000M. Also means it is definitely faster than the K5100M. The Nividia M5000M should be 25-35% faster than the W7170M - which is a pretty big jump.

 

The 7170 will beat the 5000m in DX 11 but the 5000 will destroy the 7170 in OGL (using certified drivers, that is).
