News on Haswell based mobile Precision M6800 ?

Also, let me know the driver version and I'll try to see if I can get the same for my M6000 then I can run some comparative benchmarks if you'd like.

 

is the ultrasharp panel ips or wled?

 

The driver download is here: Driver Details | Dell US

I don't do any graphics work, so I have no benchmark tools. What could I use?

 

For gaming benchmarks: 3DMark (specify which version if you do use it)
For CAD: SpecViewPerf

For the driver, I'll see if I can hunt it down on AMD's website, otherwise, I'll have to settle for a slightly older version or install the 8.1 version on Windows 8 (should work).

 

I just test mine after I updated the latest driver and Win8.1

 

Before I run anything on new drivers, here are the scores on three of Dell's drivers as well as some other GPUs in SpecViewPerf: http://forum.notebookreview.com/gam...call-benchmarks-cad-opencl-4.html#post9270193. It'll also place it relative to GPUs like the K5000m. As you'll see with the M6000, drivers have a huge impact on things, anyways, I'll try the Windows 8.1 driver some time this week.

 

3DMark 11 basic with my m6100 on Win 8.1 x64 with latest drivers from Dell, running at high performance power plan:

Graphics Score 5117
Physics Score 8059
Combined Score 5424

Available here: Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4800MQ,Dell Inc. 0XD1M5

 

My AS SSD benches dropped to almost half the initial values.

Installing the latest Intel Rapid Storage drivers from Dell brought me back to initial values.

Just a FYI that updating that driver can speed up your drives.

 

wow that's pretty good! from the benchmark it looks better than K5000M, between K5100M and K4100M

 

Running that bench was the first time the fans really kicked in with high speeds.
Good that my typical work load does not need that
