the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread

[sd.dreamweaver]

Hi guys i have been reading this post since many days and i have made my mind to buy HP pavilion 6121 TX. I am also relieved to know that HP solved the problems previously experienced by some of our members. I have also noticed that some members have 8GB RAM.

My doubt is

1 Is 4 GB RAM sufficient for smooth gaming ???
2 Is there any difference in fps(frame per seconds) between 4GB and 8GB
Does RAM effect or rather increase fps???

hey guys wat temp u all getting. my lappy reach 90 degree on crysis 2. then i decreased max processor frequency to 50 n it didnt ever cross 70 degree.

also, guys can any1 provide me with HP coolsense technolgy. i did a clean instal n lost that. By the way do i really need that software. i just want my lappy to run cool when i play DOTA (which i play for very long time daily )

1 small doubt......forgive me if i am out of topic:

On dv6-6017tx

Memory
Standard memory
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (1 x 4 GB)
Memory, maximum
Upgradeable to 8 GB DDR3
Memory slots
2 user accessible

On dv6-6121tx

Memory
Standard memory
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (1 x 4 GB)
Memory, maximum
Upgradeable to 16 GB DDR3
Memory slots

If Upgradable to 16GB how is it 8+8?

When I bought the laptop 2 months ago, I had 4gb of RAM. While playing games like Crysis 2, I was sometimes getting Low Memory warnings from Windows. I upgraded soon to 8 gb, and now that never happens. Just to check, I just ran Crysis 2 in the background, one 720p movie in VLC, and Chrome with 3 tabs. The total memory being used is shown to be 47%. That would be around double if you have 4gb RAM, i.e around 90%. You might not be able to multitask so effectively...

Updated BIOS. Fired up Sapphire TRIXX and now running my 6770 at 825/900@1.05v.
In WEI, graphics and gaming graphics are now 7.0

I was running it at 850/950, and it was running fine without heating up or crashing. However, i am unable to run WEI.

What could be the problem?

It could be due to the display driver crash.It usually happens cos the drivers aren't capable of handling such high core clocks and memory clocks
(Depends on the chipset).I would suggest you to lower your core clock(memory clock's fine) to around 830 and rerun the assessment.

I was getting the same error before overclocking. i.e. at 725/800. Anyways I am back to default clock speeds and still not able to run the assessment, even though all the games are running fine.

Hey I am also looking for that Coolsense. I tried the internet but couldn't find something concrete about it. Anyways, for DotA, you can run it in Power Saving Mode itself, and it runs fine.

Looks like I was a bit too late at reading this. I ordered XPS 15 l502x. Almost same specs, with Nvidia GT540M (DDR3 :/ ) costing 58k+.

ok i got my 6121tx yesterday and found it way too amazing!
had the same muxing problem but fixed it by installing the BIOS update released by hp and demuxed during the restart.

NOTHING is powerful than 6121tx at a price of 54K

heat: normal
battery: flexible life
wei: 7.4, 7.4, 6.9, 6.9, 5.8

Good to see HP and AMD coming forward and fixing the issue.

You got 5.8 for HDD?? I get 5.9. Rerun your assessment.

^^ err, it hardly makes any difference. WEI is useless for nitpicking.

someone please answer this query ..... I am confused between 6121 and dell xps 15 ....

 

[arsenalfan001]

I see flipkart offering accidental coverage for both the laptops. I doubt flipkart can offer that. It must be offered by HP. Why dont you call them up and ask for the same?

someone please answer this query ..... I am confused between 6121 and dell xps 15 ....

Why are you confused? Let us know, we may be able to solve.


One doubt for me. I am playing FIFA11 with whatever settings are there set to high and vsync off at native res 1366*768. And I am getting only 65-70 FPS. Also DirtII at highest possible settings giving me 40-42 FPS. Are these results ok?

 

[fz8975]

in comparison of build quality of hp 6121 and dell xps 15 . . . Which one is good ??

Dell is slightly better.
