Precision 7550 & 7750 Owners' Thread

I'm not familiar with running phoronix benchmarks, which tests are you interested in?

My geekbench5 cpu results are here: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/3044272

 

So I guess all we can do is wait for Dell to roll over whatever tweaks they had for 18.04 to 20.04. That may take a while.

 

Does anyone here own a 7750 with the Quadro RTX 5000? If so, might I ask if you could dump your VBIOS using nvflash, and upload it here?

 

Hi, I am planing to buy Dell Precision 7550
Did any to try is Acronis True Image is working with 7550

if not, do you know any application what can make image of hdd before first start?

 

Thank you! Oh wow I did quite a lot worse than you: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/3084057

Edit: Oh nevermind, the baloo file extractor was causing high CPU usage in the background, this is more representable: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/3084261

Regarding phoronix, I am also new to this but quite like it, but have read a little into which tests make sense. So far I have done only the build-linux test. Thank you!

 

Hi guys, my 7750 just arrived and managed to install 4 x 32gb Kingston HyperX 2933mhz DDR4. So far so good. The original 8gb ram that came with the machine are Samsung 3200mhz though. Also managed to install 3 x 2TB Adata 8200 Pro nvme. On top of the original 256gb nvme that came with it

Thanks. I received the 7550 this week and ordered the same memory Crucial 64Gb. I replace the factory memory.

My order had a dual Pointing keyboard too. It is listed in the invoice too. But I do not find any center stick pointer. Is this a wrong keyboard or does it work in other way?. Is Dell selling something, which does not exist?

 

In the bios, does it run at 3200mhz or 2933mhz? I read in nb51, a chinese forum, where someone bought 4 sticks of 32gb 3200mhz ended up have to return them because of constant error and blue screen

So far , the 4 sticks of 32gb Kingston HyperX 2933mhz seems to be working alright. Haven’t really tested or benchmarked to the extreme yet but I left it on the whole night, fingers crossed, so far still stable

Maybe not. I did some digging and discovered the fact that right click worked on Ubuntu 18.04 was because of it using libinput 1.10.4-1 (vanilla 18.04 worked the same as the Dell modified version). Ubuntu 20.04 uses 1.15.5-1 which changed trackpad behavior to ignore right clicks on "clickpad" devices. I have submitted a merge request to libinput that adds a quirk to not treat our trackpads as a "clickpad" device which will hopefully make it into libinput and subsequently future versions of ubuntu and other distributions. I also created a patched .deb that has this fix already applied. I built the patched package on debian, but it should work fine on ubuntu as well. FYI: with the patched libinput installed, and the non-free Intel firmware loaded, vanilla debian also works great on our laptops...minus the fingerprint reader, of course.

Patched libinput packages, I think you only need to install the binary and shared library (i.e. sudo apt install ./libinput-bin_1.15.5-2_amd64.deb ./libinput10_1.15.5-2_amd64.deb after you cd to wherever you downloaded it in a terminal window, the other packages are just there for completeness): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cg0lb7979go5stm/AACroFY42poE115B13XxuRlXa?dl=0

 

Do we know what brand SSD the 7750 machines have been coming with when a Class 40 is ordered. I'm hoping it would be a Samsung, so that I can use Samsung's cloning software to extremely easily move one drive to a new one, saving $ by buying the bigger drive myself.
