Precision 7530 & Precision 7730 owner's thread

Forgot to tick the fingerprint reader option - too late for that

 

I was seeing 125-130w on the P5200. Over 200w at the wall.

 

How has performance/battery life been so far with the P5200? How does it compare to a GTX 1080 8GB? Thanks!

 

Confirmed (if you want to call it that...) through Dell chat that the P5200 is a Max-Q version. In fact all of the cards are Max-Q versions of themselves.

 

I was seeing clocks of 1569Mhz and 12% performance loss vs the AW17's GTX 1080 OC graphics card on the 4K tests I was running. Is the Max-Q version of the P5200 limited to 1430Mhz?

 

125-130W sustained or peak?

What 4K tests were those?

Max-Q is a power limit, not a direct clock limit. The GPU will clock higher is less power intensive workloads like GPU-Z Render Test than in power viruses like FurMark.

 

Ask them if they plan to put the proper Max-Q branding on their GPUs then, or otherwise provide vBIOS updates with raised power limits. What they're doing right now is fraudulent.

 

Can you post the chat log?

 

Does anyone have a 7530 without dGPU? Are the temps much better? And I suppose it's an entirely diferente motherboard.

 

Unfortunately I chose not to have it saved, so I no longer have it. But the person seemed confident (without any hesitation) that they were indeed Max-Q cards. I told him none of the literature/spec sheets mention this and he was passing that information along to perhaps have that changed. I find it interesting the HP G5 Zbook 17 does mention throughout that they are Max-Q cards (which according to another chat with HP, may be released/available to order July 11th).
