    Can someone post up a Screenshot of the GPU-Z on a 14x please? I'd like to do a little comparo before going to pick one up.

    is the pixel fillrate supposed to show as 3.5 GPixel/s for the GT555M in GPU-Z 0.5.7?

    Why my PCI-E is 1.1 instead of 2.0?

    Ah Ok! Back to stock the Bus Interface is running PCI-E 2.0!

    Well, I might be wrong!!

    That feel when I have the 3gb card and everyone elses GPU-Z is different (pixel fillrate, ect)

    Well, that's depend on everyone's clockspeed, for example me, I also got the 3GB version but I overclock the GPU so then this result with my GPU having a higher pixel/texture fillrate etc...

    I'm not really sure how GPU-Z calculates the pixel fillrate for this card. Both 14.2 from older versions and the 3.5 reported by 0.5.7 are completely wrong. It should show 9.4~9.5 Gpix.

    EDIT: I was wrong. I read up on how the Fermi architecture works. The newer 3.5 Gpix number is correct, our cards suck more than previously imagined. :(
    EDIT Again: Looked into some comparative benchmarks again, somehow even with its true agonizingly low pixel fillrate the 555M holds its own against much better (on paper) cards. I guess we're not too terribly slow :)

    given the resolutions for the m14x models -- 1366x768 and 1600x900 -- i imagine that even with multipass and post-processing effects 3.5 GPixels/s is MORE than adequate.
