So I ordered a 6017tx for 49k, I got a 6121tx shipped to me. How I wish the OpenGL problem didn't exist in this.

You guys think I should return it? I don't play Minecraft although I was planning to start using the Adobe CS suite of products.
But I think HP/AMD would solve this problem ASAP.

And are you guys positive that the 6121tx=6017tx when it comes to normal DirectX gaming? Does this new muxless switching cause a performance drop there too?

Cyanide, going through aniket.cain's posts, I am not very hopeful. He is having the same one and its gaming performance is not upto the mark.

Please let us know the gaming performances for you. *fingers crossed*
all the best

Did anyone got hands on HP dv4-3016tx?
Is there any graphics issue with it?
Which one is better dv6-6121tx or dv4-3016tx ,screen size and cost difference wont matter much but I will be playing lots of games and using CAD softwares so will the i7 have good advantage and will there be issue with the new graphiccard architecture in 6100 series?

Performance drop is insignificant. OpenGL problems will be solved in 6 to 12 months (Going by time Nvidia took to solve a similar problem).

If you have installed any game, run it at all the settings maxxed out, or run a benchmark and please post your frame counts. I am not alone with this problem, there are other people with it too.

@aniket: I have and ran CoD:Black Ops.
Everything on high,AA=4x: Avg 50-55fps

I think it's alright. Actually I don't think the muxless switching should affect performance *that* much. Maybe 5% or so.


By the way, does the left hand palmrest become very hot for you guys too?

Congrats. :)
And yes, the left side of the palmrest becomes a little hot after little gaming. And the area near the air-vents on the left becomes a furnace.

So my machine is faulty. I think it will be a little troublesome to make the service center guy understand my problem.

Well my machine gets pretty bloody hot near the palmrest while gaming. The area near the air vents (near the Esc, Tab keys) remains warm, not hot

Ishu, I do not play minecraft or will not use ADOBE suite. My primary use will be to run informatica and Oracle BIEE. For that I need multiple Virtual PCs. Also some amount of gaming, mainly FIFA and football manager series. I understand from your posts that 6121 will be fine for all this.
Then why is Aniket facing such problems in all games? If I am going to invest 55-60K on something, I need to be absolutely sure about the product. And there is no answer to Aniket's problems.

Some more confusion.

You can run FM on any PC. FIFA will run fine.

I play them both on the laptop in my sig. :D

It looks like you won't game much. I would suggest you to get Dell XPS15 (better screen & speakers). It will easily run FM anf FIFA for quite a few years.
Get FHD screen and 7200rpm HDD.

Various threads about game performance in the 6121tx here. No one is experiencing anything more than a 5% drop in gaming in the 6121tx, some even having an increase in 5% performance as compared to the 6017tx.
So I think the problem is unique with Aniket. I'll get some more games tomorrow and find out the FPSs.

And btw, I bought mine from EBay. I actually bought a 6017tx, but a shipped a 6121tx. So I got a 6121tx for 48K (After 10% max Rs1000 coupon :p)
