*OFFICIAL* Alienware M18x Benchmark Thread

[scook9]

I suppose you could, I just bought 1866 to start with. The price difference is not much....and then you retain a life-time warranty on the ram

[Räy]

Where is the fun in that though? Though I didn't spring for the 1866 since I decided my money would be better spent going towards a second set of 2x4gb 1600 hyperX if I was having any troubles with CAD. 8gb should be fine for Inventor, AutoCad and CREO.

But the burning software (I have used Thaiphoon burner) is $20 itself, eating away at those perceived savings

Scook, stoked to see your OCed results. That thing walks all over my R2, except for RGB thats the one thing I'm hanging on to!

I thought it would be cool to see what the m18x can do. So instead of just giving you the benchmark numbers, I figured why not show you as well

"Stock Dell drivers, Dell install, nothing done - just a boot and benchmark."

Current specs:

M18x Space Black
18.4" 1080P WLED
2820QM
6970 CROSSFIRE
Blu-ray
8GB 1333 Ram (don't have the memory yet)
320GB 7200RPM HD (only 1 drive)
Intel 6300

**These videos maybe still processing, so give it more time for the 720/1080**

Wow, that's what this laptop is capable of really. Nice. Can you post a screenie of Hwmonitor or Hwinfo32 after benchies? Thanks

yup, just gimme a few mins. for some reason hwinfo and hwmonitor dont show the temps of my 2nd gpu.

yet furmark and gpu-z show the gpu2 temps .

also the ssd took about 3mins to install. this laptop kicks .
