Does the battery life drop to 3 minutes when playing games?

That's what I was going to ask.

I'd love to have a powerful laptop with one of these in it, but the impact on battery life may not make it worth it....

 

[TStep]

Pretty sweet. Makes me desktop

 

[Ronin]

DTR's aren't meant to have battery life Although, I haven't checked to see what it's like.

This is what it looks like, though.

No, but the laptops using the mobile X800xxxxxx sure do.
Just kidding. I don't know. Just countering your "Right out of the box negative attitude" about it.

Very Nice results OP. Finally, a laptop that really kixorz izzass.

What's better is the NV41M is modular, which means I can take it out, and put something else in there (say, a better MXM 6800, or an x800, if I so desire), so the possibilities, and performance is only limited by what's available in a modular format.

 

[Ronin]

Bump for those that might still want to see the results.

 

[SynthDude2001]

Are there yet any laptops using this chip?

 

[DorianX]

I would like to someday build a laptop with a sempron system from amd and an nvidia card

 

[Ronin]

If there weren't, I'd be hard pressed to have benchmarks, wouldn't you think?

Sager, Eurocom, Alienware, to name a few, are manufacturing laptops with the NV41M.

 

[crazycarl]

what kind is yours Ronin?

Sorry, I was under the impression that these were just benchmarks you pulled off a website.

I need sleep. :moon::clock:

wow thats AWESOME for a lappy...i can't hardly belive that. MY rig only gets about 5200 in 3dmark 2005, you make me feel slow

None of the above, actually. I have a custom builder that I use. They're all off the same chassis, it's just a matter of how much they charge for them.

nice lappy

I want to see what the 6600 does

 

[Odeen]

Is it a 12 pipe / 5 pixel shader or a 16 pipe / 6 vertex shader card?

NV41 seems to imply it's 12/5, but there's no real reason to disable the features when you don't have a 6800GT mobile - may as well let the 6800 do all it can do.

 

[Ronin]

12/5, and it's only the GDDR1 version (clocked stock at 250/600). I'm lobbying to get it swapped out with the GDDR3 version (350/1GHz), which performs better than the x800 in benchmarks. I'll blow my current scores out of the water if I'm successful.

 

[Regs]

I wish I could go into work with that. I would likely get fired by month's end though.

 

[Ronin]

Now I need to start looking for a 6800 Ultra instead...oi...damn releases and not letting me know beforehand ><

 

[VirtualLarry]

Wow, a laptop with a 6800-series in it? That's pretty killer.

That gives me an idea.. I'm truely surprised that no-one has come out with a laptop specifically for trade-show presentation usage, with an integrated Matrox Parhelia part, the one with three video outputs. That would be a fairly killer solution, for driving some of those "triple video wall" displays that I've seen set up at trade shows. Sure, it would be a niche product, and would cost a bit more, but for that target market, I bet some company could make a bundle of money on that. (If someone does, you can just PM me my royalty check here on AT, ok?)
