Dell Inspiron 7720 - Review

 

[sam142000]

In my inspiron 15r configuration same as yours max payne is showing 512mb of graphics. I changed in switchable graphics to "high performance" sitll its showing 512 mb. plz help

I'm having the same problem.
Also, in GTA4 the frame rate suddenly drop and rise again!!
I switched both of their graphics to high performance in the GPU settings.

Anyone for this?

Also, shouldn't we be doing a 3DMark11 test instead of 3DMark06 since our graphic card supports DirectX11.

Edit: Some pics of my Laptop *goo.gl/P1iJH

yes, i have'nt tried the 3dmark11, if you get time, please do post 3dmark11 test results too..

For everyone reading this question, please reply to it:

Can you tell me the proper way to reduce and control battery wear level, about calibration process and all for li-ion batteries?

Please post proper guides you follow..

You may read this guide.
Anyways, I have updated the drivers, but strangely the 3dmark score has gone down by a long way. This is really strange. Here's the link.

On flipkart its out of stock....

Please full review of this product

@ratul
Yeah! I know. The score in my case also was similar to yours at 9830 (because of i5) before the driver update.
I am using the latest drivers for AMD 7730M given at dell's site. I don't see any performance difference strangely.
One thing I forgot to mention, anybody wishing to play Batman Arkham city has to install these drivers, otherwise it will crash. I have tested it.

yup, same with me, though there 5-10% improvement in NFS:Run, no other game shows any improvement.. (tested with fraps)..

I'm very interested in the 15R SE, but a lot of people talk about the problemas with the cpu temps (up to 95ºC) while playing high confs in games.

Is it true?

 

[SDP]

My driver version says 8.981.2.0. Is it updated? Please give a link for the latest driver for 15r se.

Guyz...can anyone of u tell me should i go for the i5 3210m (2.5GHz turbo boost to 3.1ghz) or for the intel i7 (2.1hz turbo boost to 3.1ghz)....
Intel® Core? i5-3210M Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz, rPGA
Intel® Core? i7-3612QM Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz) BGA
basically im trying to figure out is it better to hv more core or a higher clock speed...the i7 is a quad core but has a lower clock speed to the i5 dual core....so can u tell me which is a better and faster process?

 

[pratyush997]

The 1st one is a bit more powerful

Got a fix for it.
1) Create a desktop shortcut for "PlayMaxPayne3"
2) Right click on it and click on properties
3) Under "Shortcut" tab in "target" add this "-dx11 -adapter 1" {without quotes}
4) Enjoy the game to the core with high settings with 2048 graphics!!

15r se users anybody who have installed and started playing "Metro 2033"?

@ratul

New driver has enhanced performance of alan wake and max payne 3. Max payne 3 with settings "High" and some of them with "very high" am getting 35 fps

[raj_55555]

Thanks for posting man! So it's confirmed, the new drivers do affect the 3d mark06 tests. It could be because its 3dmark 06, and doesn't test some new features. Just a blind guess though.
