**M980NU (X1/Commanche SLI/NP9850) Owners Thread**

there 2 keyboard??
I didn't know that

 

i will do some photos tomorrow in daylight

The build feels very very very solid, doesnt get hot either, is heavier then my whitebook tho

I prefer the overlook and feel of this one tho, the internals are 500x better then the white book, and alot better then the m17x, 10 mins for cpu or gpu in or out

very very pleased

 

you have
the picture got removed i have to look for another one

and

 

Doing a little happy dance waiting for mine Seems like with the bios mod the M17x might be able to clock higher, but I'm liking what I hear about the construction of the Sager. Here's to hoping we see the unlocked bios some day.

 

Either of you that have the laptop play ARMA2 at all? I'm curious to see what kind of results people will get with taxing games. Both of you are happy with the 18.4 screen though correct also how is the noise?

 

Same keyboard as mine.

 

there was another one and it was aa like a normal keyboard but i can't find it. eurucom had it up there but it's now removed.

 

What are some good benchmark programs other than 3DMark and Vantage?

 

that what i got also

 

Mine seems a bit low.

 

Very Very Nice!!!! Now I'm getting impatient for mine!

 

I asked about noise on another page like 6 or 7.
He said it was quiet and was surprised at how quiet.

 

Different CPU could be it as he's running a QX9300.

 

our score is very low. what driver are you using and i don't think sli is working. regardess of your cpu. your at 1280*720, your scores should blow out mines.

I'm using 186.03.

In 3D 2006 I get 12800 for a score and SLI is set in the control panel.

 

I just went to SLI Zone and it scanned my system and the SLI was not detected.

 

what the link for sli zone?

 

show us a screen shot of gpu-z

and use 190.38 or use
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=405895

 

Here you go. Also 190.38 is not compatible with my hardware it tells me.

 

Enabled 2 GPU is what you need .

Open the Nvidia control panel and click manage 3d settings

At the top of the control panel there is something that says 3dsettings click on the show SLI visual indicator and run a game , there will be a long green bar that will fill up when your running SLI .

You can test it in games to see how much the game takes advantage of both cards and to make sure its working.

 

use the link i gave you above.

for the 190.38 you would have to use a different inf.

or you can do what quad says lol.

 

No I don't have that option to select "show SLI visual indicator."

 

This is what I have.

 

click set sli and phsyx config i believe

 

Congratulations on your purchases, guys!

I will be most likely after this notebook in the beginning of September.

 

No nothing.

 

Click on the SLI and Physx tab and take a screenshot of it for us to see.

You have SLI because it clearly says it right in the Nvidia control panel.

Half way down in that screen shot you took it says SLI performance Mode Nvidia recommended .

 

Here you go:

 

Lol you have SLI enabled so whats the problem ?

 

Because of this post Quad.

 

Did you disable Vsync in the control panel or the game ?

If your not using the latest drivers then the drivers your using does not have an SLI profile for Streetfighter 4 its that simple .

Also i think in that Streetfighter 4 benchmark you have to set it to variable frame rate not fixed .

And run the game at 1920x1080 not 1280x720 that machine you have does not need to lower the resolution.

 

I did what you said and take a look!

 

dazman i did the sli zone and i say my sli is not enable.

I put the 3d visual thing on and I play a game and it does show me SLI.
So I think the sli zone is wrong. I think is only for desktop gpu

 

So i take it that made you happy ? .

 

any link for the 190.38 inf?

 

hey guys

i have arma2 and it will b going on my laptop tomorrow, have to go to work shortly sp bleh

glad to see you got yours working daz

Nice to see you are all enjoying my benching

oh they might be able to get thier cpu little higher atm, but mine hasnt cured yet but the benchies are similar

 

Yes it it did Quad. That problem was cutting into my beer time.

 

I think it's because it's not a Nvida motherboard or rather it isn't certified by them.

 

Yes it's been great. I feel like a bit of a prat for not picking up on the v sync.
I'm just getting back into the pc side of things.

Keep up the good work!

 

I've got probably a week and a half wait for mine

 

Time to start a benchmark thread?

 

me on my own?

only me running em at the moment lol

 

im catching you mandrake...

check out the temps

 

I've just put on 190.38 drivers you get a couple of more options in the nvidia control panel wooooo

I'll download vantage and see what I get Pete

 

c'mon cat ya know u want to bench

 

I keep wondering if maybe the x9100 will turn out to be the better choice after all

 

at 92% so won't be long

 

So M980Nu owners, what say you about the quality and performance of these beasts?

Build quality sounds high from Pmanuk, ambient noise sounds to be low, screen sounds to be gorgeous, benchmarks at stock speeds look awesome. Is there a flaw with these, so far they sound too good to be true.

All in all is this the system to buy over the M17x for a high end gaming rig? My current DTR laptop is dying on me and I am now rushing to get up to snuff on the current laptop offerings and the M980Nu is certainly on my short list for purchase in the next month or two.

Thanks in advance,
-Ken

 

i had the arguement couple of weeks ago

maybe in the short term because of its natural higher clock, but if you are playing anything quad optimised then qx9300 is better

im getting closer to mandrake

 

More and more people will start getting this system and they can't put their benchmarks there. Don and I are always happy to post comparisons.

Very nice score and temps. Plenty of room to push it. Scored a new high in 06 myself today.
