Dell :: SXPS 1340 9500m Hybrid SLI

Sep 27, 2009

I've had my laptop since June and have not been impressed with the graphics performance of the Hybrid SLI setup.

I installed nHancer for the first time and started tinkering around with stuff and noticed that some of the games I was disappointed in weren't utilizing both GPUs by enabling the SLI Load Balancing Graph (Vsync has to be disabled for this to work).

Upon further tinkering I noticed that for both GPUs to be used, the game profiles had to be modified with "Hybrid SLI mode" set to "1". Thought I'd share this information so everyone can try and get the most out of their computer.

Dell :: 1340, Hybrid SLI, And 210m

Oct 12, 2009

Does anyone know whether a 1340 with a 210m GPU has the same hybrid SLI setup as the 9500 configuration, or is it a more conventional discrete GPU that's always active?

Dell :: SXPS 13 + Win 7 + 9500M SLI?

Nov 7, 2009

I posted here a few months ago about a SLI problem in Vista that was resolved. I have recently installed Windows 7 and have been having more SLI problems. I've installed many different Nvidia drivers from laptopvideo2go, from Dell, and from the Nvidia website.

My problem is that I have a huge performance increase under Power Save rather than Performance Mode.

What I believe is causing this is that when I am running in Performance Mode, it only runs off the 9200 which is slower than the 9400. It doesn't actually use both cards together.

I've noticed significant FPS drop and rendering issues while in Performance Mode while playing Call of Duty 5 and more recently, Dragon Age. However, when I go into Power Save, I get a significant boost in FPS and virtually no rendering issues .....

Dell :: Studio XPS 13: 9500M G Or 9500M GE?

Jun 5, 2009

I'm doing a bit of research on the NVIDIA 9500M card offered on the Studio XPS 13.

Notebookcheck.com claim that the card fitted to the Studio XPS 13 is the 9500M G, but the G is not a Hybrid SLI card (i.e. two GPU's):

Dell :: SXPS 1340 SM Bus Controller

Dec 23, 2009

In the process of trying different nVidia GPU drivers I inadvertently uninstalled a bunch of other nVidia drivers from my SXPS 1340 . Managed to reinstall most of them, but I keep on getting an error looking for drivers for the SM Bus controller. Now all the advice on t'internet is that this is part of the chipset drivers, which I have reinstalled a number of times- all the other devices are fine now, but the SM Bus controller is still flagged up in the device manager.

Dell :: On The Fence For A Sxps 1340!

Oct 25, 2009

I have been waiting around for the release of all these new notebooks but I find that this is more within my price range while having solid specs.

I would plan on this build:P8800 (2.66ghz)4gb ddr3500gb hdd (maybe 128 ssd)210m gs

For you owners out there:
Are still any problems with heat or anything after the bios update?What battery life should I expect with the 6 cell? or the 9 cell?Is the P9600 worth the extra $150?Does the leather accent wear easily?

Am I better off with just standard glossy?Any other concerns? or reasons I should or should not get this?

Dell :: Dimming Screen On SXPS 1340

Jun 28, 2009

Does anyone's screen dim itself every now and then? I don't know if it's a defect in the screen or maybe a bug in Quickset or something else, but occasionally my screen just dims a few levels.

Quickset shows it still maxed out and lowering it a notch and raising it back up using the keyboard shortcuts makes it go back to normal.

Dell :: SXPS 1340 - Theoretical Memory Upgrade

Mar 8, 2009

If the information below is true, then why does Dell offer 6&8 G memory upgrades in the configurations? (Main points highlighted in color)

Memory
Connectors two internallyaccessible
SO-DIMM
sockets
Capacities 512 MB, 1 GB, and

Memory type 1066 MHz DDR3
SO-DIMM

possible
1 GB, 1.5 GB, 2 GB,
3 GB, and 4 GB

Just wondering, as I have been "window shopping" today. So far, it looks like Dell's upgrades are actually cheaper than DIY kits. I guess you could subtract whatever you could sell your stock memory for.

To anyone who has actually opened theirs: Does it really only have two slots? 3x2 Gb kits are around 100-150 USD, depending on where you look. Would be too convenient to have empty slots to stick extra 2 G modules into...

Dell :: SXPS 1340/1640 Synaptics Touchpad

Jun 25, 2009

I am really curious if any other 1340/1640 users have run into a similar situation.

The problem:

when typing on the lappy, sometimes the text jumps to wherever the I beak of the cursor is. At first i thought i was accidentally touching the touchpad with the base of my thumb, but now i'm sure thats not the case

I've already tried uninstalling dells drivers, using the drivers from synaptics website, changing the sensitivity of the touch pad, using the touchpad with no drivers at all (windows drivers only)...

Dell :: WWAN: Sierra MC8700 HSPA+ In My Sxps 1340

Jan 16, 2010

http://www.sierrawireless.com/product/mc8700.aspx

HSPA+ MC8700 PCI Express Mini Card

Works fine in my sxps 1340's wwan slot btw.. drivers are just latest version of sierra watcher software.

recent speedtest using Telus HSPA+ , this was in my office in downtown edmonton earlier this evening;
ping: 28ms download: 12.83Mb/s upload: 2.76Mb/s

excellent speeds for internet on-the-go

I chose this card because it is capable of full HSPA+ speeds (Peak downlink speeds up to 21 Mbps and peak uplink speeds up to 5.76 Mbps) .. Dell's current WWAN cards are just not fast enough, lol

Dell :: SXPS 1340 Thermal Paste Replacement Guide

Aug 26, 2009

Replacing Dell's default thermal paste in the Dell Studio XPS 1340 can lower your cpu, gpu and ambient temperatures by as much as 15C/60F.

When I first received my SXPS 1340 from Dell, my temperatures were:
THRM-57C, CPU-52C, GPU-62C.

For me, these temperatures were O.K., but I knew I could lower them by replacing the thermal paste.

My temperatures after replacing the thermal paste were:
THRM-48C, CPU-34C, GPU-50C. Note that after a month or two of having the MX-2 inside your computer, the cooler it will become as it settles

Dell :: Hybrid SLI Options

Sep 13, 2009

I'm currently running 190.40 drivers for my GeForce 9500M on my SXPS13. Before updating to 190.40, clicking the little green NVIDIA tray icon that shows what mode you're running in allowed me to choose my mode manually through the use of two radio buttons.

Currently, I can only switch between "Boost Performance" and "Save Power" by switching power profiles in Windows. Is there some way I can get back those radio buttons without having to go back to the older driver?

Dell :: Hybrid SLI .. The Definitive Comparison

May 10, 2009

it seems alot of people don't seem to understand the workings under SLI and have simply decided that the Hybrid SLI found in their laptop is pretty much useless.. While there is some truth to this it isn't completely true.

As those of you with SLI on your desktops will know, SLI is largely based on 2 things. Game support, and driver support.

By game support I mean some games will darn right refuse to work properly with SLI enabled. Some games may also work with SLI enabled, but show no clear benefits with SLI turned on. And linking in, nVidia have to make profiles for each game in their drivers. If you're up for tweaking it is possible to add your own profiles using nHancer, but then again, how many of you would be willing to do that?

So what I plan on doing, is benchmarking several games to give people an insight into the workings of SLI, what games support it, what games don't, what games need tweaking.. and hopefully based on this you can decide whether it's worth it or not for you in particular .....

Dell :: SXPS 1645 Discontinuedi7-820QM No Longer Supported On SXPS

Dec 30, 2009

This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.

As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.

Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...

Acer :: 6920g. 9500m To 9600m Gt Swap

Dec 28, 2008

I managed to snag a minor graphics card upgrade for my laptop and installed it. I changed up my 9500m to a 9600m gt. Everything seems to be going great, just needed an HDTV to get it going For some reason it would only initially post video through the HDMI.

Anyway, my issue is, while the machine runs great in windows I can't for the life of me get it to display anything before that. Which includes the BIOS boot screen, the BIOS itself, the Boot Menu or even my Windows XP disc.

Like I said, games run great, windows runs great.

Acer :: TehSuigi's Driver Comparison - 6920G/9500M GS

Nov 20, 2008

here's the results of my 3DMark06 benchmarking.

All tests were run on a vanilla installation of Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1 with only RMClock and 3DMark06 installed on the system, and HWMonitor included to keep an eye on temperatures.

All tests run at 1366x768 (native res) with default options.

Only drivers with WHQL certificates for this series were included; which means two that supposedly had them, 174.74 and 174.93, aren't shown.

SUMMARY
- The 174 series of drivers is officially obsolete - they clearly benchmark lower than the newer 175 or 176 drivers. Upgrade if you want to.
- 175.61 continues to be an anomaly, with higher-than-average HDR/SM3.0 scores, both in my previous benchmarking before this comparison, and during it.
- The 176 series is probably your best bet overall.
- Temperatures never really were an issue - 73 Celsius was the highest I saw.

Here's the chart - focus on the GPU score instead of the overall 3DMark to remove the variance provided by skewy CPU tests.

Acer :: Overclocking GeForce 9500M GS On Aspire 7720G

Jan 18, 2010

Over-clocking with RivaTuner. Right now I'm at 500Mhz for core, 1Ghz for shader and 425MHz for RAM.

On idle graphics card is at about 63C and processor at 33C with fan off.

To put some load on system, I used Intel BurnIn standard test and two instances of 64bit version of fluidsGL.exe from nVidia's Cuda SDK (acording to GPU-Z, the load on graphics card is about 93%). Mandelbrot.exe does put some more load on graphics card, but it closes as soon s application looses focus, so it isn't as convenient.

When I run tests, temperatures are around 85C for graphics card and 65C for processor.

I wanted to ask you how much should I overclock the graphics card and what are safe temperatures? I plan to use this laptop for few more years, so I do not wan to cook my graphics card.
