Dell Studio XPS 435T has the best performance! UPDATE 11/2009 - Page 2

Last message on previous page:

c'maaan you can't challenge the knowledge of clairvoyant christopher, he's a psychic, have you ever heard of dionne warwick ? these people have special gifts for seeing information which is undisclosed to the normal individual.

guys.. even tho this is a similar and rebranded 9800gt as many said,
the price really diff u know, i live in MY and 9800gt cost 400 (512mb)(480 1gb),but u know how much this GTS 240 cost me ? only 280! and it beats
9800gt that is priced at 400, 280(1gb)-480(1gb) is a huge diff, plus i got the performance too.

I've dealt with many Dells including a dimension 2350 that still runs to this day. Just like any product ever made quality is a crapshoot. I will never buy a big box desktop again though. In fact many of the techies I know, including myself, swear by Dell laptops. Unfortunately my Inspirion 1520 has a crappy Foxconn motherboard and 8600m GT which amazingly has not failed yet, (knock on wood) oh well time to get a Studio XPS 16.

I was lucky to get my Dell Studio XPS 435T on sale. And it's a great computer. The graphics card does run a little hot.

Yep gotta love Dell sales. My 1520 was 1500 but with discounts and a coupon I got it got 1000. Really can't complain. It still is a decent mobile workhorse.

This is one of the most ridiculous threads I've ever read, actually signed up just for this.
You're comparing cards intended for HTPC's / Low end market with a 4870 and then claiming that it's because the ATI is BETTER QUALITY?! Are you serious?
You then claim that in order to use such cards you would have to tweak in-game settings, so are you under the impression that most people play games on default every time?

You also claim that 'some of your games' require Dx11 in order to play, do you honestly know how many Dx11 games are currently released? One. Just the one.
With a whole one more by the end of the year in EU/US, woo and yay.


Rage over, didnt even bother mentioning how claiming another recent card is outdated compared to a 5850 is mind bendingy stupid. Owait.

Venting at someone who made a poor attempt at pretending they had some comprehension of what they were talking about, Mr Bleach fan.

If the performance of your Dell XPS 435T - that you only purchased are few months ago - is so good, why are you already asking in a new thread started just two weeks after you started this one - on Oct 1 - whether you should now purchase an Alienware computer of build your own? You said this one would last you 4 years.

And why in a post on this thread on Oct. 12 - twelve days after starting the other - are you still ranting about how "it is a great computer". That would indicate you still think it is "the best" as stated in your thread title - but you never mention that you have already apparently outgrown the best - not in 4 years but in 2 weeks?

Or is all of this just a cover as you try to advertise your business - you boasted earlier in this thread about how it has gotten you new customers.

For those interested in following his self promotion - the other thread is:

Meh, this guy's BS. I bet I have more experience than him, but that's not much considering a peanut knows more than him. Seriously, I'm not even in the middle of my teens but I find his explanation and non-existent defence have got more holes than swiss cheese and more loops than a rollercoaster.

1: The 4870 obviously beats the GT220 in performance, but not in quality; that depends on the ODM. My old DIY PC had a Celeron D CPU and a Chaintech FX5200, 8 years old and still running. A newer OEM PC my friend got had a Q6600 and a 8600GS. His PC failed pretty fast. One's a budget system, the other was meant for gaming. He beat mine in performance, but not in quality.
2: The GT220 was a test platform for NVidia to experiment with the 40nm process + new features, just like what ATI did with the 4770. NVidia chose the simple design of the GT220 to test it out, because any flaws could be easily corrected with a simple GPU design. Good thinking, rather than jumping straight into the high-end, complex GPUs to move into 40nm.

My current PC is an OEM from Compaq, reliable, but not-so-powerful and overpriced. Just to say STAY AWAY FROM PREBUILTS.

With what are you taking issue?

Alienware, a rebadged dell with a little alien logo.

unfortunately its not out of this world anymore except in the price..

The were better when they were their own company until dell bought them. Saying that im sure thats the same case with Voodoo and HP.

actually thats no so true - when nvidia brought out the 8800 gtx - there were reference cards which at that time manufacturers put their own labeled box around - evga was one and when i was sold it there were many rebadgers then

i'm having trouble computing the following: "thats no so true" "reference cards" "rebadgers"

Hellboy,

You know so much about graphics cards. You have such a vast knowledge about graghic cards.

Clair - what are you doing? Coming back here once a week to bump the thread by copying what someone wrote in an old post and typing an innocuous comment? Trying to keep the thread active for advertising purposes?

I am suprised you bother to come back after the other thread you started 2 weeks after this one to if you should buy alienware or build -and that after stating at the start of this one that the Dell should last you for four years. But I guess any charade to help your business right? Just keep fooling people into coming to your thread in hopes they become customers. Sad.

If he was really clairvoyant, wouldn't he have known the discussion was going to turn into a feud, and not made his original post?

I'm just saying

I can't be clairvoyant when I'm typing on a internet site! People, places & things have to be present in order for my clairvoyance to work.

I can tell that your jealous of my psychic gifts. And you can't believe how well my post has had a very high response rate. You're jealous of this as well.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY POST, THEN WHY RESPOND TO IT AT ALL! I'M NOT RESPONDING TO YOUR COMMENTS BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE OF MY TIME. YOU MAKE A CAREER OF HARRASING ME, MAKING UP LIES & SAYING THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. And last but least I do phone consultations, not email psychic readings because they are not accurate at all. The company that I work with is a psychic internet company, which means that they do all advertising via the internet.

Wrong. You have no gifts so I have nothing to be jealous of. To even assume I might be jealous proves you have no gifts. Just another petty attack.

Just proves the two points I have been making all along - you are only using this forum to advertise yourself and your repeated bumps are for this same purpose.

I choose not to sit by and watch this forum be misused for advertising - especially of charlatan practices. You are taking up the time of good people looking for help or trying to provide it. Further, I choose not to be a silent victim of your vicious personal abuse.

Lie. You have been responding to my comments. Why state such an obvious lie?

And more bogus and viscious attacks. First, a few forum responses do not a career make. Second I have not been harrassing you but only pointing out to everyone your motives - confirmed by yourself in previous posts and the statement above - and defending myself from your abuse. Instead of making viscious and generalized personal attacks, I challenge you to identify one specific lie I made or one thing that does not make sense. Please back up your general attacks with a single specific case. It is easy to see who is the one telling lies here and it is not me.

It is also easy to see who is doing the harrassing here. Did I ever say anything to you like the abuse you threw at me with:
RockyJohn you need to get a life and maybe get laid. You're still trying to give me a hard time. I feel sorry for you. Something is wrong with you mentally.

And others in earlier posts have stated how your comments don't make sense and you don't even understand what you are talking about on video cards. You were just misleading people about that as well and I tried not to let your misleading comments lead others astray. The purpose of this forum is to provide accurate helpful information not to mislead with bogus attacks on the products of good companies.

The quote we were addressing was your statement "People, places & things have to be present in order for my clairvoyance to work." First off, clairvoyance does not ever work. Second, people on the phone are not "present".

Moderator, can we please get this thread closed to stop these continued bogus and viscious attacks.

Er......

No it doesnt actually work everywhere in the world.

I dont know what we got here in the UK but that dont work either.. And I cant call it capitalism. more like a complete f@~K up.


At least you got rid of Bush, we still got poxy Gordon Brown who just wont leave

I think he secretly likes you rocky

No , and we have been there before clairvoyant.. All because you like some one of the same sex doesnt mean you are gay does it.

Thank you. Then I trust we will not ever see any more comments from you here again and and I can stop defending myself from your abusive attacks.

No, the problem. Clair, is that you never did respond to the legitimate questions I asked and instead made abusive attacks that I chose to defend myself against. It is just utter foolishness of you say to I feed off you. If you go back in look you will see that each time I was either asking you to provide specifc information to try to support your claims - all proved bogus by your inability and refusal to respond in substance rather than with the abusive personal attack - or responding to defend myself from your attack. The threads are clear - you were the abusive attacker keeping this going - with your attacks and returning once a weak to bump the thread and keep it active for commercial reasons. And you did not respond to the substantive issues - about the nVidia cards or your viscious attacks.

Just like this commment where all I am doing is responding to your attack. Or just like the last one, and ones before that where I was either responding to your attacks or repeated misuse of the forum.

And I did not once make the kind of derogatory personal comments like you made about me. So your attempt to play innocent does not wash. I am the victim here and you have been the abuser. And all the people who spent time reading and responding to your commercial thread are also your victims.

But I do thank you for your word not rto espond again which I take to mean the abuse will stop.

yeah mainly by two people arguing

Dell is ramping up performance with the Studio XPS 435.

Over the last several years, Dell has diversified its computer offerings in an attempt to better meet the needs of its customers. What started with Inspiron and XPS desktops is now Inspiron, Vostro, Studio, XPS, Studio XPS, and Alienware. Confusing? Maybe, but the increased number of brands has allowed for some powerful desktops whose looks are beyond the classic Dell cases.

The newest offering in the desktop market from Dell is the Studio XPS 435. The Core i7-based system does have some impressive options, although it is not yet for sale. Users can customize the 435 with Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme processors, which come on an X58 motherboard. What really separates this new offering from existing Studio XPS desktops are looks, memory, graphics, and storage. The 435 can take up to 24 GB of triple channel DDR3 memory as well as up to 4.5 terabytes of hard drive space. Compared to the 12 GB of RAM and 1.28 TB (640 x 2) of storage in existing offerings, this newest Studio XPS is a cut above other Dell desktops in its product line, offering more than enough storage and RAM for any Photoshop or Avid buff.

You are so right, because my Dell Studio 435 has such great performance. I have 6GB of memory. And the computer runs fast!
