i know, was getting worse with turing where some companies allowed 2070M a higher powerlimit then their 2080M ones n so the 2070 was outperforming the 2080. 😄 n u can compare desktop 1080 FE vs. 1070Ti FE(has slightly more shaders then the P4200, so will couple % xtra fps) both has 180W TDP... here 4K benchmarks(so no CPU limit everywhere, system on both cards: MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon, i7-7700K, 2x 16GB DDR4 3200 C14), AVR/1% low FPS: BF 1: 1080 73/69 - 1070Ti 66/61: +22/13% Destiny 2: 1080 67/57 - 1070Ti 60/51: +12/12% Metro Last Light Redux: 1080 66/42 - 1070Ti 60/40: +10/5% Middle Earth Shadow War: 1080 60/46 - 1070Ti 54/42: +11/10% RotTR: 1080 44/34 - 1070Ti 40/30: +10/13% Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Wildlands: 1080 50/38 - 1070Ti 47/35: +6/9% Tom Clancys The Division: 1080 53/42 - 1070Ti 50/39: +6/8% Warhammer 40k Dawn of War III: 1080 52/48 - 1070Ti 48/44: +8/9% Witcher 3: 1080 56/48 - 1070Ti 52/43: +8/12% means average fps +10% n 1% low even +10%, n when u count down the xtra shaders the 1070Ti has compared to the P4200(which is between 1070 n 1070Ti) shaders will be around 12%. those low performance gain u mean, is pretty sure bcs of CPU limit(1080p tests), but in the GPU limit the P5200 will always clearly outperform the P4200 at same TDP limit. *%results rounded up/down -

HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
Annihilator replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
will see, its a 7820HQ in it, n its possible u need to push the voltage for the IMC a bit, when u able to boot into windows u can use XTU for it. so possible the seller had a good sample where no adding extra voltage for the IMC was needed.- 281 replies

Aaron44126 replied to Aaron44126's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
You can put a "standard" eDP display in (like a 16:9 4K panel) but these will take a bit of work to get to "fit", the M6700 was released before the "standard" form factor for these panels had materialized (which Dell started using in Precision 7710). It's possible to fit one in, though. I'm not sure what it takes exactly, but I know that @TheQuentincc had a 4K panel working in the M6700 at one point. The 120 Hz glossy "3D" panel that originally shipped in this system can be fit in without such worries. Sorry, I don't have the model number. -

That screen is compatible if you have : - RGB-MB (goes from motherboard to interposer board) cable for the premier color LCD - eDP to LVDS premier colo interposer board - RGB-LCD (goes from interposer to LCD) cable nevermind you have all that, hadn't seen your prior message To be honest it is less of a hassle to get the 3D cable that is actually a standard 40 pin eDP cable + buying a 40 pin lcd, can be 1080p 120hz, 1440p 165hz or even 4k 60hz/120hz. Not to mention that these screens will be better than the premier color 1080p 60hz LCD -
I tried it and it works just fine, with the battery draining faster, as expected. Maybe it's the BIOS? I'm on 1.11

This seems a bit flaky to me. They don't give details of the system that these tests were run on. There are anomalies like P4200 actually winning their Vulkan test. I'll admit to not digging into the tests here too much, because I already know how it's going to shake out. I've been closely following this line of systems for 15+ years and this is something that has come up for discussion and testing, over and over and over again. There was a lot of chatter about this on NotebookReview at the time of the launch of these systems. Users who had the systems in hand tried different things. P4200 and P5200 were barely different in most cases. This really started to get a lot of attention with the Pascal generation as it started to become clear around that time how NVIDIA was putting very power-constrained desktop-class chips that could "use" a lot more power into laptops, and the power limit was the limiting factor on their performance. But the same has held true with every generation since then, comparing 4000- and 5000- series GPUs from NVIDIA in mobile workstations. It makes sense, given that the architecture and the power limit are the same. Spreading out the load over more cores is going to help with efficiency, but not to the tune of >10% performance. You're welcome to check yourself if you get one in hand. -
HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
Will replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Just to let you know, I tried running 3200MHz on both the 7710 with an i7-6920HQ and the 7720 with a Xeon E3-1535M v6, but it wasn't possible. I only managed to get the 7710 to boot once with a single stick in a single slot, but it was extremely unstable. Otherwise, it would always throw memory-related LED error codes and fail to POST entirely. Now just out of curiosity: I once saw a listing on Xianyu for a 7720 motherboard with a Xeon E3-1575M v5 (the one with 128MB eDRAM L4 cache) where the seller claimed it ran 3200MHz stably, but I'm not sure if that's actually true.- 281 replies

Comparison between last years Lunar Lake, and this year AMD and Intel X7 options. Summary Intel X7 is basically a little more CPU power than the old Ultra 9, graphics power about RTX 4050 so much better than anything old integrated. AMD is similar in single tread to Arrow lake, but loses out a little on multi threading. It still clearly wins over Lunar lake quite easily. She mentions that the Aerominium is indeed more stable and feels more premium. It's again very visible in the outside frame of the display if you have or have not Aerominium. Both the new panther lake and AMD have basically zero throttling still pushing 45w into 20 minutes mark. That is pretty impressive so the new fans do work much better. Battery life - now she's comparing an 1 year old Lunar lake model, so I would add a little to Lunar lake. And she compares with max screen brightness. Panther Lake with OLED comes out on top of AMD with the lunar lake last. Differences are rather subtle. AMD for price concious and office work, Intel for gaming and high performance... But yeah - I really guess only the X7 is this piece of marvel - other Panther lake without B390 graphics or less cores will rather feel like an optimized lunar lake - even better battery life but not much performance uplift, and actually worse graphics. I feel the x7 models of many laptops are gonna be sold out soon or as they appear - as word will spread about how much better it is vs older generations or the less able intel products. There must be a reason why LG and others are sending out the X7 models on masse but no other panther lake are widely distributed to reviewers. Also the weight is lower again - the new Aerominium gram pro 16s are at 1195g - so back below 1.2kg.

Cracks in Nvidia's armor starting to emerge.... "Exclusive: OpenAI is unsatisfied with some Nvidia chips and looking for alternatives, sources say" OpenAI wants to move to SRAM based inference (Like Apple uses FYI for their M architecture) and exploring alternatives... Google is already turning inward using their own custom designed chips.... AMD is starting to chip away at Nvidia's AI marketshare.... Microsoft questioning the profitability of AI..... I can smell that change in the air ever so slowly.... -
I love Skillet. I remember going to their concerts as a young adult and they were very young (18 to 21) when they first started the band.

So I must have forgotten just HOW BAD AMD GPUs and to a slightly lesser extent Intel CPUs are for Fallout 76..... Also Intel is always behind that X3D cache...for now I was doing some of my standard static bench runs on the 265k + 9070xt and just going, "why is it so bad?" Problem is I've been playing Fallout76 the last 5 months on a 9800X3D + 5090..... I dug out all my old data from benching in the exact same spot reaching back to the 7900XTX and 13900KS/7800X3D and yeah, now I remember.... 7900xtx vs 4090: 9070xt vs 5090 (9800X3D unable to let 5090 hit anywhere near 100% Utilization or it would have been even more of a blood bath of ~155-160fps+): 7800X3D vs 13900KS w/ 4090: Ultra 7 is even worse as expected than that 13900KS. I wish I had a 5090 when I had my 14900KS as my main driver before switching to a 9800X3D. At least the blood bath wouldn't have been so bad. I might have to re-appropriate the wife's rig for some testing. Unlike her old EVGA DG-77 case, the Vanguard 5090 will fit quite nicely in her Antec Flux Pro. Just swap GPUs and swap in a test NVMe for a night of testing.....She has a 1000w Seasonic in there. Ultra 7 265k + 9070xt is literally the worst of both worlds. Weakest CPU and weakest GPU for FO76. Plays WoW rather nicely and smooth, but this initial Fallout 76 data is about in line as expected with this combo for FO76: Again, for the umpteenth time, if you are a serious Fallout 76 player, GPU has to be Nvidia and CPU has to me AMD X3D. I can't wait to test a Nova Lake chip with bllc (aka Intel X3D) onboard with Fallout 76.... -

Annihilator replied to SvenC's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
14% difference i not would call it nearly same performance(both at 100W) but yeah, they r close, n the price difference is huge from P4200 to P5200, for the 14% n double mem u have to pay more then double price 😬 on the other hand, u can cut the TDP from the P5200 to 75W n get the same performance like the P4200 but much cooler n less noisy + double mem. n still 💩 never a P6000 mobile was out(maybe prototypes), a full GP102 at 100-120W with 24GB would be really nice 🤩 -

Hello everyone. - Dell Precision M6700 with eDP 120Hz display: RTX Ampère and Ada doesn't work. No sign of boot, no splashscreen. Even with the backlight mod cable. - Dell Precision M6800 with eDP display: RTX Ampère and Ada are working. Displays on BIOS and on OS with the backlight mod cable. Exemple: X-VSION RTX 4080 displays on Windows, I didn't try to install the drivers yet because of the incompatible heatsink and pressure. I can't test the TDP. But I think I need to do some EDID manipulation because of the bad X-VSION VBIOS. No EDID manipulation needed for the X-VSION RTX 4070. I'm waiting for a custom heatsink. The heatpipes are already big enough for what is it maybe the plate should be full copper with some tweaks. Could handle max 140W? @Tetsuany news about ZRT? -
