Well, go over to the clevo section.
The 5870 has been available for a while for the W8x0 series laptops.
Performance should be very similar. -
3DMark06 = Asus G73
Vantage Total = Asus G73
Vantage GPU = "M15xR2"
That's how it is with the Clevo systems so I expect them to be similar although the driver used will make the difference. -

But we all know those are uglier
And there is at least some overclockability in the M15x bios (even if it is just memory lol) -
Best idea is Stress the system useing Furmark and such and high end games and monitor the temps. Check to see how the cooling is. I just dont want tons of people buying the 5870 and expecting it to work.
Now the question is 4870 and 5870 crossfire in the same location. So we can do this with a M17x r1 or M17x r2? I also think it will require a bios upgrade.
But good work. -

I'd guaranty it will not even come close in 3DMark06. The challenge would be with Vantage GPU.

Comparing a 17 inch asus with a 15 inch alien isn't really fair is it? I mean I've seen these 2 PC's next to one another. It's not even close.
-
Same hardware, though the clevo 5870 runs better than the asus-made 5870.

-
Same Hardware except the Heatsinks are COMPLETELY different the author of the thread showed us that too. about the Clevo,

True, but which heatsink comes with these cards (W860 or W870)?
The heatsink on the W860 is similar to the M15x while the W870's is quite beefier. -
Hey, is this the same card?

Just sent them a message about returns, which they do not accept.
I want to at least know there is a DOA period. -

Yea never buy from Canada, there is a reason why so many Canadians cross the border everyday to make their Computer and Computer part Purchases.
-
Well, I would rather not buy from eurocomm (if it is them) but at that price and it says they have 9 available.
If hemi can't get more I might bite. The listing is very specific so I doubt it is a bait-and-switch either. -

I might once they respond to my DOA question.

Just make sure you guys use paypal. I've had only 1 shady deal with ebay and paypal gave me my money back quickly.
-
dang there was 9 available when i post this afternoon now there only 3 left. So do i have to buy a heatsink separately with this or it come with it? How much does the heat sink cost and where can i buy one?
-
Uhhh you should be using the heatsink that came with your m15x originally I thought.
-
-
The last sentence tells us the heatsink is not included:
Picture simply represents the card for sale and is not the actual card. Sale does not include heatsink and is for the Video card only. If other parts are requirted, please enquire.
I reckon you can buy it there as well if needed. -

If you have a M15x, you will be reusing that heatsink so this should be a non issue.....

Heh, some action at last. Soon we'll see the first M17X-R3-home-made system.

TDP does not = power.
However, I do believe the 5870 is less power-hungry than the 260.
I hope hemi gets more as I didn't purchase one from ebay before they sold out. -
do these 5870s have crossfire connection on them.?
fantastic job by the way people like you make this forum what it is -
No

Awwww. Man, I'm sorry. It always seems particularly unfair when such exemplars of good will and friendship are lost.
