Dell :: SXPS 16 :: Is RADEON® HD 3670, Outdated ?
Sep 10, 2009I was just configuring SXPS 16 but confused with the graphics options.
There are 2 option to choose eith 512 MB RADEON® HD 3670, or 1 GB RADEON™ HD 4670.
I was just configuring SXPS 16 but confused with the graphics options.
There are 2 option to choose eith 512 MB RADEON® HD 3670, or 1 GB RADEON™ HD 4670.
I bought a Dell XPS 16, with 2.53 GHz prossor and a 512 ATI HD3670 graphics card.
I partioned my hard disk and installed XP on one of the partition.
XP installed fine, updated fine from microsoft, validate to an original copy and everything fine, except for m graphics card part of it...
i downloaded the xp driver from ATI website amd tried to install it, but itjust wouldn't do it....i tired display only drivers, the full catlyst driver packk no use....
every single time i install it it gives me a error message "setup did not find a driver compatible with your currrent hardware or operating system, setup will exit now" .....
I just sold out my three week old macbook pro 15 unibody on ebay....useless filthy piece of crap...utterly over-priced block of aluminium.
And now I am typing this on my DELL studio xps 1640 .I have a simple question, Will it be extremely risky if I try to overclock my gpu, ati mobility radeon hd3670 512mb gdrr3? Also, I am a gamer, but not one of those
who faints if the fps drops by a point. I mostly play games like gta san andreas, cod4, world of warcraft, fear, soldier of fortune, assassin's creed, prince of persia, diablo, half-life, far cry , mafia, nfs etc. Is it necessary to overclock?
I lucked out on my exchange and ended up being given a Studio 1640 instead of an XPS M1530, I would appreciate a link to the current best driver as far as performance goes for the aforementioned card
View 5 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know if anyone has successfully done it or if it's even possible to do on this laptop. Sorry if this is a duplicate thread but sorting through 498 pages of information proved to be a bit daunting. I was looking into a bit and it supposedly possible to do via rivatuna but I figured I'd ask around before fiddling with it myself.

View 10 Replies View RelatedSo at first I was confused but now I understand. First official, completely top to bottom support for all mobility cards (in the specified range of course) will come out with 10.3. What they didn't say that SOME mobility cards will be already supported with 10.2 and our " Dell (Studio XPS 16 Mobility Radeon HD 4670)" is on that list.
This was posted in another thread, but this wasn't the focus. They also have beta 10.3s...but I thought it was neat that official 10.2 WHQL certified drivers supported our card ....
Is it possible to use the GPU client with the 3670? I need a driver of 8.7 or later but I currently have 8.512. And since ATI doesn't support their mobile GPUs... is there a mod that will allow me to run F@H GPU client?
Also... Is it ok to run the SMP and GPU client?
I recently installed ATI Tray Tools on my SXPS 1640, and found out that the clock speed of my GPU is set to 400Mhz. This seems sort of low, because on AMD's website it says that the Mobility Radeon 3670 has a core clock speed of 680Mhz.
1.) Would it be safe (or possible) to raise the clock speed back up to 680Mhz?
2.) Did Dell do this on purpose to prevent overheating?
Oh, and I'm currently using the Catalyst 9.11 driver (modded with MobilityModder).
should I buy the Dell XPS 1640 (P8600, ATI 3670). I intend to use the Dell XPS 1640 for web surfing, watching movies, and play some light games online. Would my Dell XPS 1640 with ATI 3670 will have these problems like overheating and throttling?
After reading those horrible stories about XPS 1640 like overheatinga and throttling). I am not so sure about buying them.
I've owned my studio xps 1640 for about a month now. Had zero issue with it. Yesterday, while doing some browsing, listening to a net cast etc.
I was notified by Vista that my card had failed and was reconnecting? This did not work and brought up a blue screen telling me that if this was the first time this had happened to reboot (which it then did anyhow) so I did not have time to catch the rest.
I went to Dell's site and Dl'd every bios,chip set and urgent driver update they had. I tried the Ati update but like others have mentioned it did not seem to take. I read that someone had this card fail on their first Studio. Is this behavior a forerunner of a critical malfunction?
so tomorrow my friend will put his laptop together, (he will get the ati 3670 card, he could get the 4670 (if he paid some extra money) but he is not some super-gamer and said he could live with 3670 without any problem.
i knew that ati 3670 512mb and nvidia 9600M gt 512mb was pretty similar, but ati 3670 performs actaully better, (quite much better).
I know this question has a rather obvious answer, however I was wondering what kind of games can the ATI 3670 - 512MB graphics card handle?
I was hoping to get the 4670 card however the only option available to me from the Dell websites in the countries near me only have the 3670 listed
last night I ran 3Dmark06 on my SXPS16 with 3670 GPU, and I was surprised by the way it ran (in a negative way).
The machine is all standard Windows Vista Ultimate 64Bit as it will be replaced by a similar machine with 4670 GPU. Specs are as displayed below (only with the 3670 GPU instead of the 4670) .....
Heya im planning on buying my XPS 16 within the next 2months.
Ive seen that there ATi 4670 costs £50 more than the 3670,
and as im currently unemployed £50 is alot of money.
I play games on ps2, not laptop anymore though, so wont be needing graphics card for gaming.
But so would the 4670 actually provide any other advantages in like laptop speed when surfing net and having multiple pages open at same time,
or increase speed when watching movies online? ect
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...
This is a hands on discussion of the new videocard which include benchmarks, screenshots and video links to demonstrations.

I have a new Studio 1537, Core 2 Duo T6400 (2mb cache), 250 GB HD, 3 GB ram, Vista Home premium and a Radeon HD 3450 with 256 MB dedicated graphics.
What sort of games will play on this.
I have a desktop PC that play a few games on, Splinter cell and Tour of duty. These games are quite old so only list XP as the operating system. Will they play on Vista and is the Radeon HD 3450 good enough.

Hi,
I'm not too bad with computers, but I'm struggling to understand how my Radeon HD 4570 gpu, which came with the Dell 1555 I bought last week, is showing up on DxDiag as having 2280mb of memory? The Dell specification said that I had bought the 512mb version of the 4570...
Can someone explain this? What basic fact have I misunderstood?
Thansk,
EDIT:
I just found this ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 with 512 MB discrete graphics for up to 2280 MB of dynamically shared memory allocated by the system Can someone explain this a little more for me? Does this mean that when playing a graphic-intensive gain the system could use more than 512? Thanks!

But, I couldnt find any info on the new ATI 5000 series notebook GPU's in the Indian context. So
The DELL Studio series now comes with the HD 5470, which according to tha GPU benchmark isn't good enough for gaming. (The studio 17 here still carries the 4670, but, the better 5650 in UK) .
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Compute...s.13849.0.html
A studio
15 core i5-540M(2.53Ghz,4 Thread,turbo boost to 3.06 GHz, 3MB cache),
4GB 1333MHz DDR3,
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470,
320GB 7200rpm,
1080p LED Full-HD dispaly,
backlit keyboard & 1 year CCADP
costs INR 59,000 (excluding only delivery)
Should I go for it or wait for them to upgrade the studio 17 to the better 5650 graphics ? (portability isn't an issue for me so the 17 is fine too ). IMO the price is too high. But I would like to know the opinion of you folk ! Are there any better alternatives(I doubt !)................
Is it possible? I have tried nearly everything and nothing supports this card! I want to run fallout with decent frame rates, and it just isn't possible without overclocking. I am using windows 7 RC 32 bit.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the interest of maximum (safe) performance, I will test both generic ATI drivers and official Dell drivers with real-world benchmarks (probably mostly video games).
I will test Dell's official ATI driver, the generic ATI 10.4 driver, and any beta driver available from ATI's website. I will not be testing third party drivers.
ATI recommends that Dell laptop users use the Dell drivers.
Dell recommends that Dell laptop users use the Dell drivers.
Which is actually better? We're going to find out.
The test should take place within a week. Right now I need to find a few games that can produce consistent results (i.e. number of fps when watching a pre-recorded demo). Any ideas or requests for games to use? (free game demos, please)
I will be testing Resident Evil 5 benchmark demo, set in fixed mode, DX10, default settings. It gives an average fps reading.
I might also test Quake Live (I think it has a good timedemo test, need to find out) and Starcraft II beta if I can find a way to average its fps reading (does FRAPS do this?).
When I find 3 total tests that I can perform, I will begin testing.
UPDATE: thank you to gaah for performing the driver comparison test.
Test Results: The Dell driver's performance is equal to the performance of ATI 10.4 driver. The Dell driver offers additional features such as the HDMI/DP Audio driver and AVIVO.
