SF IV Benchmark: Dell Studio XPS 16 vs HP DV7-2043

[srispg]

:\

Nice, but I wish you had taken AA off so we could see what the FPS was like without it. I'd imagine at least 60.

Also, you should switch your frame rate from variable to fixed.

[BrennanMyers]

I own the 2043cl and lemme tell ya, it is still a beast... I can run cod4,5, and 6 all at maxed out settings with no lag at all. I don't have the same problem with the color that he has on his screen, the colors are beautiful on it.

[Aleaxan]

Hey just got my xps 2 days ago.its fantastic.especially with crisis

[Turbinieris]

Would the result been better for the HP if it had a faster processor???

[Masterke85]

i have the same only i have the i7 and i want to buy that intel ssd 160... why i don't know i only chat and use word :D

[darkksyde]

[LildAnakin]

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4Ghz

Memory (RAM) : 4096MB

Primary Hard Drive : 320GB

Secondary Hard Drive : None

Video Card : ATI Radeon HD3670- 512MB

Optical Drive : DVDRW (DVD Burner)

It's weird you get less than 60fps on any of the systems.

I have an old AMD 3500+ (2.2ghz, stock) with 1.5gb (DDR1) ram, and 6800gt (stock) and I get 60fps non-stop on this game at 1280x720 on the highest settings but with no anti-liasing (this game has almost no jaggies at all).

I set the FPS to "Fixed".

[albert2090]

I have exact same XPS 16 but 2.93GHZ CPU and it perfect for gaming. I even play COD4 at 1920X1080 setting (still smooth). System 1: Dell Studio XPS 16 with ATi 4670 GPU (stock), 4GB DDR3, 320 GB 7.2k HD, 16" RBGLED 1080P

[5150Joker]

Both were run with AA turned on.

[MetalMatt2510]

@MoonOvIce

I have that AMD 3500+ 2.2 ghz. What 3d card do you have and psu? I want a card for my computer but dont know what to get, i think my psu is 300 watts though.

[MoonOvIce]

@MetalMatt2510

I had a 300w PSU (I have another computer now) which was the one that came with the PC and it was a generic brand, if you´re not willing to change the psu then I can´t recommend anything higher than a 6800gt which you can find cheap on ebay...otherwise, if you have a OEM PC (which I suppose you do) and you have the space for a bigger psu then do that and get a better card.

[MetalMatt2510]

@MoonOvIce

Thanks for the reply. Yeah i would be willing to change the stock psu for something more powerful, then get a good card for my PCI Express x16 slot but im not sure what to look for in a new psu and if my mother board would take the new psu. I got a Compaq Presario 2019UK 3500+ 2.2 ghz 2 gig ram windows xp. I wanted to run Crysis. I was told its better to build a new pc. Not many games i wanna play on pc though except crysis at the moment.

I got an A on the Benchmark test with my GPU overclocked @ 740/702. I'm on an HP Pavilion dv7-2170us. Regarding the overclock speed with GPUTool on this laptop, how safe is it to play on this speed?

[5150Joker]

It depends on your ambient temps and if you are using a notebook cooler or not.

[gunkde21]

@5150Joker hey, i have MSI GX623, exactly the same hd4670 with 512mb and core2duo P7350 @2ghz (stock). but mine runs better, i got average 55fps. tested with same setting as yours

[atim31]

@albert2090 and i just bought one 2 hours ago <3

[albert2090]

have you receive your laptop yet?

[atim31]

no, the dell homepage says it's in progress ... But an email told be that I may have to wait until february -.-"

[ND300DSLR]

lol nm I see its the 2.53 how many megs does it have on the CPU? I got the 6 meg version

[ND300DSLR]

What CPU do you have in the dell?

[potheadpenguin]

What GPU clocking program were you using?

[tindra98765]

ooohh boy. Dells screen just eat HP screen like nothing. (much brighter and better)

way to go DELL :)

[5150Joker]

Yeah the Dell's RGB LED display completely destroys the HP DV7's or any other laptop for that matter. It's easily the best laptop display available on the market. Very gorgeous colors, bright and low response time.

[Greev84]

hey!

when you overclocked the DV7 , u think its possible to overclock it even more if you use a good notebook cooler ?

[5150Joker]

Yes it's a possiblity.

[ttebroc235]

P8700/2.53 vs T6400/2.0, basically you get 2-3 fps more with the better cpu is seems..... You would think the P8700 would be a bit better in this test.

What drivers are being used?

[5150Joker]

8.6 catalysts, unfortunately Dell hasn't updated to the newest ones yet.

[BlackoutDOTcom]

amazing.. can't wait to pick this laptop up I can't see a better one

[dan185z]

Is the ATi 4670 worth the extra $100? Do you have any heat issues?

[5150Joker]

It's definitely worth it. The laptop does get hot though (not anymore than it does with the 3670).

[BlackoutDOTcom]

nice... do the graphics get crappy from running the dell's 1920 screen at 1280?

[5150Joker]

Nope, they look great at 720p. I can run the game at 1080p as well but I have to drop a few settings to medium.
