Pic of GTX 480M + 3DM06 Test

[HeavenCry]

Good to hear.. i really do wonder how far you can push it in the D900F... If it at least overclocks well that could help it justify that price a bit... We were just commenting with what we have - stock gtx 480m vs stock mobility 5870... Well have to wait to see if its capable of more..

Notebookreview is already in possession of and doing their review of the Sager NP9280 with the nVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M.

So, there is one "Skilled user" anyway

+1!
the first one out of the gate with someone WE know. nice.

[5150Joker]

Send me a test system. I'll happily compare it against my M17x. I'd be completely impartial as well. I think I qualify as skilled enough.

lol
never owed one since it was a rebrand of the 9800m


far cry 2 when all the all the explosions near the end of the ranch long run
far cry 2 about 1 minute in to the ranch long bench when your curving down the road out in to the open country side.
devil may cry 4 3rd test when you fight the dragon
metro2033 when you start fighting the long armed dwelling monsters

come on now, how are you the only person in the world with no micro stuttering??
rotflmao

bet you had stuttering with that 260m you use to have, tell the truth.

.

I'll check metro and far cry when I get back home on Friday. I nearly finished metro with my old 4870 xfire setup and never saw microstuttering. Of course with the already abysmal performance it's possible I could have missed it with that game. Why would a single 260m have microstuttering? I never had the sli.

lmao!



yep, pretty pricey as usual...



side note:
the 480 will still win in the end.
no need to argue, when they start hitting the market and after like 1 or 2 months, they will do just as the 5870's did to the 4870's..

but of course...im not card specific. so we shall see...but that's my prospective....

The 480m probably come out a bit faster overall like we've seen but it will be a far cry from "smoking" the 5870.

[johnksss]

you do qualify sir!

"smoking" the 5870.<-- this comes from a better min fps.

if we are all running around at 120 fps and get into a battle and your fps drop to 20 and mine stays at 40 for the next 15 seconds....who do you think is going to be in the better position? regardless if you get 240 fps staring at the stars.

it's nothing personal, but gaming..your more concerned about you min. frame rate..not your max. the min is going to kill you every time..not the max or average

yeah, you got me beat on games...i only have like 50 or so games and demos.

the 260 was to give and idea of how it looks...i guess im just not explaining right or something, but every system i have had showed signs of micro stuttering in places. and you have to serious be looking to see it. along with screen tearing. (this is real easy to see - move the mouse real fast in all directions to see it. hard core gamers use vsync no matter what) but with the fps so low. most pass it off as something else.

ill try to make a video of it...

Please do us a favor, by testing the 480M's overclockability.

You are asking the wrong person. It is NOTEBOOKREVIEW that is doing the review.

[Quadzilla]

Who is it that will be doing the review ? Gophn(not sure he is even around much anymore ?) or Chaz ?..

The other thing we need to be realistic about here is not everyone is going to overclock these cards so what truly matters at the end of the day is stock performance...

So even if these cards end up opening a hole in the space time continuum when OCed that wont reflect everyday performance...

24/7 hardcore overclocking on laptop video cards is just not realistic... Sure people do it and may never have problems but even the big benchers will tell you after they are done doing the crazy stuff it gets turned back to stock ...

Either way i still wait anxiously to see some real results from people we know ..

[5150Joker]

I agree with quad. Oc is important but not everyone does it so stock matters for most consumers. However for us as a select group, oc means a lot as well.

Ps typing replies with an iPhone is tedious.

Have we seen min fps differences yet? I agree if one drops to 20 and the other 40 that's substantial but I don't see that happening in many games outside a select few if at all. I'll have to watch the vid later since my iPhone connection is iffy in georgia.

If it can be safely oc'd then I'd like to see those numbers. People that are buying these machines are the kind of people that do overclock I would think.

id agree its saving grace may be a solid, very high OC 30+ %
