My wife is playing Tome Raider the Lenovo Y500SLI and it's truly a great machine. It's fairly light and small for having such great performance. It makes my 7970m m17x look really oversized.
I absolutely love love my m17x r3 upgraded 7970m & m18x r2 7970m CFX. Being able to open up your laptop/repaste yourself under warranty is nice. Using standard mxm3.0 cards and being able to upgrade just makes it even nicer. I feel like there's some control to the laptop. I really enjoyed how...
My wife and I have a traditional japanese style home (floor tables, floor chairs, tatami mat floors, shrines, traditional sliding paper doors, etc)
When I told her that a desktop was 1,000 usd less for the same amount of gaming power...she got pretty angry at me for suggesting a computer...
$2000+ ASUS UX51VZ-XH71 650m in an ULTRABOOK! Gaming capable, ULTRA Showy. Otherwise an m18x with two 680m in sli.
$1500-$1999. Sager NP9150 or m17x r4 680m
$1000-$1499 MSI 16F3 - 675m 1,100
Sub-$1000 Sager NP6165 -650m $823.53
I loved every single second of this game, especially all the cut scenes which I thought were insanely well done. I usually hate cut scenes.
Do I wish the AI was smarter? Yes.
Do I wish there was a sexy Lisa scene at the end? Yes.
Would I play it through again? Yes.
ofcourse, the iPad/iPhone can't do any of the pages I mentioned. I packaged a vpn into my iphone's jailbreak to get it to work, but I still need to do it for my wife's ipad.
My router is only broadcasting 10Mbps :[, but the wired is doing the correct speed.

My seedbox from whatbox.ca. It has 300Mbps up/down and 100MB storage for ftp/remote ui seeding/video streaming & vpn. I've been really happy with them so far, and I keep finding more reasons to keep my service.
so I configured a openvpn on my server, rerouted my traffic though the east coast and with its help 100Mbps(1.5TB upload/month metered) I can load all those websites I couldn't before. I wonder how far that will get me though. I'm going to start looking for a unmetered server(100GB storage) soon.

That same thing happened to me. I ended up flashing to DD-WRT instead.
I did this half a year ago or so. I found that bridging only seemed to work for me if both routers were running tomato.
I figured this board would be filled with people who could answer this for me. I have some pretty decent Japanese internet and yet I still have issues loading some american websites like Facebook/Steam/imgur/mangafox/usaa.com

Yeah, you're completely right, but when I could get a game to work I'd be more likely to finish the game rather then quit after a day. Eyefinity/surround isnt for the normal enthusiast who is angered by poor support. I personally liked when a game had minor issues that needed to be resolved...
Eyefinity user for 3 years,
I won't go back to singles. A friend of mine had me try out his new computer with a single 27" monitor and I honestly really disliked it. I felt like I had horse blinders on/tunnel vision now (uncomfortable).
I had become too accustomed eyefinity, and now...
I picked up a m17x r3 refurb for 1100 and as far as I can tell, there isn't a single scratch/dent/issue with function. I think it was just a custom configure whos buyer changed their mind shortly after buying. I don't mind as they left the killer wifi-n, tb harddrive, and blu ray drive, but...
hey..atleast youre not one of them.... Myself and a whole lot of m17x r2/r3 clevo/sager owners who are out of the 30 day return range are very much screwed.
All I have to look forward to TheWiz (notorious biosmod god) answering my prayers and crafting the 7970m community a modded vbios without...
If the game can run above 35fps while at 400/300 clockspeeds then ofcourse they're not going to feel the issues. All Sagers/Clevo as well as the Alienware M17x r3 have enduro based issues as they can't disable iGPU like Alienware M17x r4/M18x r2. I can run 1920x1080 pretty well across the board...
just a reminder that sager/clevo still doesnt have proper support for the 7970m/enduro and that it's causing performance to drop in and out.
p.s./rant Damn Nvidia for increasing the 680 by 5% stock over 7970m with its built in turbo, charging 300usd more, but release drivers that actually...
WoW interesting quests, great pve dungeons
Rift great classes - boring quests - bad pve
The Secret World - incredibly in depth long quests (old school puzzle style), great classes(build your own class), roleplay/lore heavy, pvp felt under developed
Tera - interesting world pvp after lvl 30...
Keep in mind that if you do get a Sager/Clevo with a 7970m, they still don't have the ability to switch off "Enduro" a power saving / downclocking feature. It will downclock your card while under full load and cause issues. The fix may come in a week or it may take months.

Knock everything down to medium, turn off ambient, turn off all AA and PostAA. That gave me 35 Fps on Caspian Border@5040x1050 with unlocked 6950s in crossfire (basically a 6990), but you are at a bit higher res so I would drop your res to 5040x1050 too and then lower settings if youre still not...
Yes, AMD has an App for that... It's called Hydravision. It should already be a part of your CCC, but if not just download it. It allows you to maximize windows in any way configuration you want.

yeah, res = resolution. you need to switch BF3 in the video settings from 1920x1080 to 5760x1080 or 1650x1050 to 5040x1050 etc.
If you have a single card, it will mirror the game on three monitors, if you have crossfire (like a duel gpu 6990) it disables your side monitors. You'll get used to it.
make your group in eyefinity, run bf3, change resolution to the triple monitor res.
if youre on a single monitor res, it will disable your other monitors.

I actually posted this for a friend whos monitoring this thread, but I asked him the same thing. He said it never beeps when he turns the computer on. It didn't come with a bios speaker enclosed in the box. I was looking at pictures too, and I couldn't find an integrated one.

Computer doesn't boot up, no display, no post, just turns on for a few seconds and turns off and repeats. The fans are spinning, and the fan controller works. I managed to get into the bios once when I cleared the cmos, but it turned off immediately.

RadeonPro forces the use of a single gpu without turning off crossfire. No blinking monitor, no waiting. It just works.
RadeonPro is the single most useful crossfire application. You can improve framerates by using alternate crossfire profiles in low supported crossfire games, force AA in less...
uuhhh, these methods are slow.
if you want to disable crossfire in a single game that has poor scaling or stuttering, just use RadeonPro
and run the game with the options Force AA Profile: FORCE SINGLE GPU.
I'm moving to Japan in two months, so I did the same thing. I wanted something I could take on the rail, city to city, and then still be able to play some demanding games.
