pratyush let me tell you a bitter truth.. the dell inspiron 14r se has gt 640m ddr3 like most laptops have. yeah overclocked gt 640m is equal to gt 650mddr3 but that is 640mgddr5 the ddr3 640m is way behind 650m ddr3

 

[pratyush997]

^^Both got DDR3 ...n as u know gt650 DDR3>Gt 640 DDr3
but will gt 650 underclocked beaten by overclocked gt 640 ...
both have only diff for clock rates...

Due to a higher core clock of up to 850 MHz the GT 650M is noticably faster than the 640M.

check the core xlock. too 625 is way low. plus it doesnt support dx 11.1 even if we undercloxk the gpu by 100mhz we have 750mhz.

now are you satisfied plus jbl and screen resolution looks think again mate

 

[pratyush997]

^^Actually temps kills....

 

[demolisher48]

well thats just looking for excuses. my roomie has lenovo z580 that too reaches 85 + while gaming

 

[pratyush997]

^^does it throttles?

 

[dan4u]

^^Y do we need to underclock it dude... WHY??.......So there is either some faqin BIOS Fault or cooling sux in this thing!....actually.when u can get 100 ...y to opt 70.! Thats my faqin point..
underpowering CPU underclocking GPU!........... WHY?....I think 14r SE w/ gt 640 can do better.... OC'ed GT 640 can beat underclocked gt 650....ain't it?

I underclocked it to see if I could get the temps down, and it works. so I'm sure future bios & driver updates will make a lot of difference....and remember not even a single official driver has come out yet for the 650m, only beta one's are there . and if you didn't notice i said I got 13930 in 3dmark06 after underclocking.....which is still amazing.....I got the temps down without effecting the performance.......and for a fact any laptop out there will get 80c+ when playing demanding games......and I didn't buy this looking just at the graphic card, its got a lot more pluses than the 14r se


btw when you returning your's??

 

[pratyush997]

^^Well U r right dude..........I'm saying that cuz I got defective one!!

i agree you bro... even i m very happy with it....and i m sure future drivers will fix it!! this beast got much more stuffs not just that 650m!! just gta4 dissappointed me yet but still i can play it in high settings others games runs like butter smooth under 70-75 temp. for me i m much happy with it idle temps were around 45-50...i just stopped looking on fps and temps now while gaming!! just chilling with it!! i m 1000% happy and i can suggest this laptop to anyone at anytime!!! i bet he will be amazed!!! ITS VFM FOR SURE!!!!!!!

Great point. Its not just the 650m which makes it worth it. Otherwise aslo they are amazingly VFM. 900p screen/2.1 Jbl for 57/52 is a steal. Even for non gamers this is the best in range.

 

[demolisher48]

no but underclocking reduces the temps and thus the throttling

 

[pratyush997]

Sorry if I'm getting crazy but...did u thought y Samsung provided 90W adapter??...Not good cooling system??
simple:- to cut costs....if checked by TS then result will be "It's throttling....." 100% Sure........
the main reason of throttling of i7 is "Temps.." as it gets near to 88C, it stats getting crazyy.you all might ignore it ......But that faqin Truth......

Ibtw when you returning your's??

Goin to CC tomm. w/all faqin screen shots of super high temps ....
I'm gettin' 60+fps in GTA IV MP..in airport n 50+ in cities....temps are same!!

WTF? Lenovo y580 w/ gt 630 LINK @ 65k faq![/QUOTE]

Well guys today I charged my laptop to 100%, I saw a (almost)one hour clip which was provided in last month digit mag.(Sony gaming conference). After that it showed 66% available, which I suppose is ok for the laptop.but guys I am still confused as it gives only 3hrs backup in 80% charge unlike you guys are getting 3+ easily.
Guys what shall I do?

@pratyush: and I installed battery care, it didn't stop any process, still having same 98 process. Then I manually stopped some process. Now what?

 

[pratyush997]

GO to its settings>General(optimization)>>Disable aero + disable windows process

 

[TheSloth]

I disabled windows process but not aero theme. I was on XP for 6yrs so I can't disable aero.

[pratyush997]

dafaq....cc reps was pure noooob...mm..dafaq asked me how did I measured cpu temps..n told me that if there would be any issue w/ samsung apps then only they may gimme refund ..........showed them gta iv fps...etc...he didn't understand anything....lol

^^^lol...i think you should talk to there senior manager.
