Precision 7510 Owner's Thread

Unfortunetly, AMD FirePro W5170M is 28-nanometers variant of 4 years old architecture Cape Verde. NVIDIA Quadro M1000M and M2000M are based younger, but still 2 years old architecture Maxwell. If you have something really new, you should wait for NVIDIA Pascal and AMD Polaris new GPU architectures.

Yup, but AdobeRGB is a industrial standard for photo retouch and photography. DCI-P3 is a standard for video mastering and sRGB for web design. For that reason 100%-NTSC gamut is not useful.

I had a comparison with older Dell M4800 and new Lenovo P50. Belive me, Dell Precision 7510 is much better.

Lenovo P50 has worse than Dell 7510 cooling system with only one heatpipe. The some story is about display. Lenovo P50 has very good UHD display, but not so good as Dell. Keyboard and touchpad guality is relative, so you should compare both systems by yourself. I can not tell anything about battery life, because I use it very rarely.

 

how could CPU mark improve so much? Results are irrelevant.

If you could get some score from userbenchmark.com please.

Thanks.

 

There is an easy explanation for that. Intel Core 6th. generation is not fully supported but Windows older than 10 and Linux kernel older than 4.4.

Probably the CPU was not working with full performance during that test under Windows 8.

 

Here's the results from userbenchmark.com:

Awesome. Thanks.

 

Here's the test with the switchable graphic turn off in the Bios:

You see, with dedicated graphics only CPU shows much better speed.

 

You don't suppose the relative cool operation and CPU throttling are related? At full tilt the TDP of the CPU and GPU is about 90W combined. There's not enough room for large passive heat sinks. Either the fans have to run, or the CPU and/or GPU has to throttle down....

 

I have an update. Originally I thought that my NVidia m2000 graphics card was not on the laptop I ordered, because it didn't list it in device manager and a few other places, I didn't take the laptop all the way apart to verify if the card was installed. I called dell and they sent a technician out with a new graphics card part to install. The technician was came out to my house for three hours. We found out that there was in fact the part installed on my laptop that was shipped, he installed a new video card, but he replicated the same problem on why I called, and even with a new card installed it didn't show up in device manager or show via control panel, or in BIOS. So in the end the technician had to order a whole new motherboard which will arrive this week, and then we will see if it shows up. My ask is for others who have the same laptop with a m2000 graphics card, double check device manager and check if it shows up there, like it does with my new Lenovo P50. It also seems they have outsourced to two different companies the people who handle the parts to install and the technicians who come out to do the installs. My experience with Unisys, was terrible the part was supposed to be installed on Thursday, but when I called them they said they had a shortage of workers and gave me a window of Friday to install, Friday came and the used the same excuse of being short on workers, and after several phone calls to Unisys to get a window of install and Dell working with Unisys, the main excuse is Unisys had to call some guy the manager to get a guy to come to my house. I was promised a phone call back within the hour and this went on over 10 different times, horrible experience. But in the end I was glad he showed up on Saturday and they are working to resolve the problem.

 

See attachment. This machine is the best I have by far.

It is dead quiet (as if it's off. No sound at all). Fans don't even come on until I use the computer under heavy load. I'm getting +7-8hrs under light to normal loads with the screen brightness at about 30%.
