Bill Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Single GPU = FAIL The Sager 9262 can beat it in video games most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael G. Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 The laptop will play nearly any top end game you throw at it, though not as "well" as a dual gpu card. But its CPU horsepower will kill any other laptop. Look up crysis benchmarks on this machine, it kills any other laptop (the game is CPU intensive). More to life than games, at the cost of this machine, its used to make money (work), not to say it cant be used for some videogames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 The laptop replaces the D901C. Same size, same style chassis, mostly same features, yet they gimped the graphics. The only alternative from Clevo is the inferior model that has a crappy lower res screen and crappy laptop quad core CPUs. Clevo should have used a desktop GPU or waited and built the laptop around the LGA ll56. Also this laptop still only has 4 USB ports, only 1 Esata, only 2 video outs and only 1 LCD. It also has the same keyboard as the D901C that lacks dedicated Home, End, Page up, and Page down keys. (Very bad for programming) The laptop probably also has another realtek non 7.1 sound chipset. My homemade laptop can have much more computing power (and of course gaming power) running a up to a GTX 295 (possible upgrade) as well as the Core 2 Quad.

Costals Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post this... A friend of mine, happy user of this site's drivers, recommended this site to me after hearing about my problem. The problem in question, first brought up by someone else: "OK, First post. The D900F meets all my needs but one. I need to drive an external display at 2560X1600 (NEC LCD3090WQXi) and that seems to require dual-link DVI. The photos of the DVI connector on the D900F look like a dual-link DVI-D connector and some Clevo/Sager report a dual-link DVI interface. But elseware in this thread (page 84) and in a couple other places I have seen where the D900F does not have or does not 'support' dual-link. So my questions: 1. Has anyone in this forum tried to drive an external diplay at 2560x1600? 2. Does the D900F truly support dual-link? 3. If the D900F does not support dual-link, where is the limitation? graphics card? mother board? something else? 4. Is the limitation something that could be worked around for example, through wiring, new drivers, new video card, new firmware, new motherboard!, etc.? 5. Is there an i7 laptop that does support dual-link? Thanks for all your help to get me even this far." To which I replied: "Hey, I'm quoting this post from some time ago as the question really interests me and it seems it hasn't been answered yet. I am the - so far happy - owner of a D900F computer. I asked the company I bought it from before purchasing it wether it would support an external 30 inches monitor in its full 2560x1600 resolution - one of the main criterias for my laptop choice - and was told it would support it just fine, except for the Apple model for some reason. I now have the D900F in hands and connected a Dell 3007WFP 30 inches monitor to it. The maximum resolution I seem to be able to get is 1280x800. I tried connecting a Samsung Syncmaster 305T Plus 30 inches monitor to it. Same thing. I saw that "problem" mentioned on tomshardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/eurocom-d900f-panther,2354-6.html). nVIDIA's website page for the nVIDIA Geforce GTX 280M graphic card that's powering the D900F says under Specifications that the Maximum Digital Resolution and Maximum VGA Resolution are 2048x1536. Any chance you guys can shed some light on this? Am I just not going to be able to support a 2560x1600 resolution on my 30, or is there a way? Thanks in advance." And: "I am posting about this again. After trying out the two 30 inches screens without any success at getting a resolution higher than 1280x800 (connecting them both through DVI cable or HDMI to DVI cable), I bought a DVI to VGA adapter which I plugged in the laptop to link it to a VGA 24" Samsung monitor, a VGA 23" Samsung monitor and a VGA 19" LG monitor... without any success. Even after installing the monitor's drivers and seeing the monitor recognized by the Computer Management panel, the NVIDIA Control Panel, and the Display Settings. This is really disappointing. Am I doing something wrong, or is that monster not capable of handling any external monitor properly? My reseller is waiting for answers from Clevo and Nvidia about it, but any help is appreciated really! Thanks in advance." Would the use of this site's drivers be of any help in my case? Thanks in advance for your time, any help will be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I was under the impression that all of the newer high end Clevo machines supported dual link. (with a recent driver) Someone here has probably tested it. Resellers post here as well. http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1017 Maybe your drivers are just out of date or your doing something wrong. I've never gotten my hands on a dual link display though so I can't really help you with this. Even the D901C and the 8660, etc should all support dual link, and the 9850 should too. If there is a limitation it would be with the BIOS or the motherboard if you have the 280M. This laptop may need a new BIOS version for that feature to work probably.
