Two questions:

What is the speed of the memory on the Envy 14?

Per intel the i5 450m can take up to 1066 mhz, but the HP sales guy told me it was 1333 mhz?

Second, how come the drivers for the graphics card on this thread are still version 8 and not 10.6 or 10.7 beta?

i5 uses 1066MHz, mine is clocked at 1066MHz, i7 quads use 1333MHz.

The 8.xxx version has nothing to do with 10.6, 10.7 ,etc. That 10.7 is year (2010) . month ( July = 7). Find that here:



I'm not sure of the correlation between the 8.whatever and 10.6, 7 or whatever.

those drivers are the official HP drivers. So it'll only update from 8.713 (10.3b..ish or 10.3 custom for HP switchable graphics) whenever HP releases new drivers.


the memory in the envy is indeed 1333Mhz. But it'll only run at 1066 Mhz with an i5.

needs the i7 setup to use all the speed.

hi there,
on which settings can the envy14 run the new mafia 2 demo (steam) smoothly ?
high in 1600x900 ?
a benchmark result would be nice

thx

someone did that a bit ago.

gonna need to do it at 1280x720 or be that guy who can OC his memory to 950 and keep it stable.

Just giving everybody a heads up. Do not update to 10.7 if you plan on playing Borderlands. Bad memory leak problem that has not been addressed.

10.7 or 10.7a?

[L3vi]

Considering 10.7a does not address the issue, I would say both of them.

I dunno. I ask because 10.7 breaks things on its own that 10.7a does not.

I'm using MSI afterburner to do some slight underclocking. However, when I apply my settings, In GPU-Z under sensors it says I am still running at 450/800, when I set the sliders to 425/700. However under the Graphics Card tab it says the core clock is 425/700. This occurs with overclocking as well.

Where are you guys getting the latest drivers?
