M17x Stutter

[scook9]

dropping the OC on the CPU should absolutely help things out as at stock it uses 1.1275V and when overclocked it gets bumped to 1.1675V (means more power being drawn). Same thing for the GPUs if overvolted - I have proven that overvolting them DOES equate to higher power draw

Also yes, I found a long time ago that turning off the screen alleviated alot of throttling, that is part of why I liked benching in my chest freezer, external screen I initially found that just dropping the brightness all the way down helped as well

And as for a power estimate of the screen, just hook up a kill a watt and open and close the screen and observe the difference. If you have a kill-a-watt it becomes ALOT easier to diagnose this throttling as I am absolutely certain it is related to system power draw (I spend ALOT of time benching this laptop and pushing it right up to the limits). As mentioned before also, A03 caps out around 225W at the wall where A02 allows about 255W at the wall (All before throttling that is)

Surprisingly, after dropping it down to stock clocks on my CPU [ which is the QX9300 ] I'm still experiencing the same amoung of stuttering.

What a pain, I probably just got unlucky with my system haha

Weird - well, thanks for testing that. Not sure why I see less stuttering than you do.

Does the RGBLed draw less power? and has anyone tried it yet on the R1. My R2 is not here yet (first thing i'll try)
Also i'll give this a go with the external monitor.

Most likely the RGBLED uses as much or more power than the CCFL screen.

If we can somehow bypass the communication between the chip inside the charger and the mobo(BIOS) then we can use bigger chargers.

With the GTX 280m's you should be able to push 300W if you have the screen brightness up

does my m17x support 120mhz for 3d ?
cos i wanna play crysis 2 in 3d and i know i need Stereoscopic 3d glasses ??

i also saw this and might buy it

NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Glasses

I think it does but only on a external monitor! The m17x R1/R2 lcd is @60Hz max.
PS: what's the connection with this thread?! The Stutter term in the title refers to something different if that made you post here

i didnt notice the title, i just did a quick reply, but thanks for informing me.
i do have a 46" led tv that supports 200hz. but on crysis 2 i can turn on 3d and it seems fine when playing the game.
i just need the right glasses.
