QX9300, I only used it for about 2 hours and I got it new. OC's just as well as the one I got from Dell. I paid $550 with tax and shipping so I want to try to recoup as much as I can.

I no longer have my 280 obviously. You want me to blow away your score with my 4870?

That would not work as NWGuru correctly mentioned. The whole discussion on your link is being based on tweaking the W90 with a patched (ASUS) BIOS. You can stick to OP topic, can't you?

cheers ...

The W90 has the proprietary Asus 4870 w/512MB GDDR3. That's not the same. You said earlier it was 4850s.
post #390 of 542
ughhhh now every one thinks i am the idiot ....

Now to clarify, i do know the Asus W90p does indeed have 4850's they are 512v RAM vs the M17x's 4850's with 1 gig vram.

the Asus uses the upside down design vs the MXM 3.0 standard that the M17x uses.


Why anyone in their right mind would switch cards with the Asus is beyond me since the MXM 3 provides more voltage and is not proprietary.... is beyond me.

Now the reason i mention this is because they are the EXACT same die and that makes them the same card and unless there is a a defect in the card. The cards should olverclock to about the same and provide the same-ish scores. The only thing would be the desktop chipset the Asus W90p(x58) that allows for more bandwidth (x 16 x16 vs x8 x8 ) but that has a very very negligable gain in this case since the Mobile cards now cannot push that much out yet



So the Asus is VERY relevant to the M17x since it does in fact have 4850's as well.


Now should i go off topic any more

this omment was putt here because Mandrake should know around what res because he does have the exact same cards( the Vram in this case wont help since Vantag is run @ a stanrd res of 1280 which wont fill up the 512 on the Asus)

I don't think anyone thinks you're an idiot. I just consider them Asus cards and not ATI because no one else sells them.
