3dmark 11 m17x r2 i5-520m + 5870 > asus g73jw i7 940xm + 460m

So I think this is odd lol, I know the comparison is kinda off the beating path but I saw a thread with the Asus G73JW sporting a 940xm and the 460m, some how i got better marks with my i5-520m @ 3.33ghz and stock clock 5870 than the Asus did.

Hopefully while I still have the i5 I'll get some benchs done with the 580m I bought that should be arriving shortly, should be interesting to see what a single 580m and an i5 first gen can do on 3dmark 11. I think its very possible that it could pull a 4000 on 3dmark 11, what do you guys think? I know its old tech but its still kicking with a vengence. And judging by the current highest 3dmark 11 single gpu 560m is the Asus G74sx, I think I can take him with a i5 and 580m as well. Not to mention the highest xfire 5870 with i5-520m right now is only popping 3700.

Anyways enough of my rambling, gimme some ideas, give me some overclock #'s to throw at the 580m, and I'll show ya the results as it goes. Could be fun to see an old dog beating up on the new kids.

 

Link in my sig was the highest 3D mark 11 Score I got with my 460m. Never did get a chance to run it on my 6990m yet though.

 

Not to far behind ya I'm at 2263 and thats with a 5870 single gpu and a i5-520m, the 580m is 15-20% more than 2 5870's, plus if I overclock the card I might be right along side your 460m, the 580m tho should probably pull 4000 atleast. But we shall see > muhahahaha! Wait.... I'm not suppose to be evil to a alienware now..... lol eh its only a r3 jk

Correction 2506 now with the card oc to 800/1100 and cpu at 3.62ghz Hurray!!!

 

I'll have to do a few runs with my current setup and see what happens. Earlier my 6990m was giving me fits while trying to run 3dmark 11 Overclocked, but hopefully I can crank something impressive out.

 

Update! just checked the tracking on my 580m and it should be here tomorrow afternoon SO EXCITED!!!! should have a benchmark by tomorrow night of the 580m

 

Congrats dude!! That card is a beast! Looking forward to seeing what score you can dish out.

 

So got the 580m in, first run it did 3465 with a mild overclock on the cpu and a light oc on the gpu. not bad for an old dog is say

Well highest i can get is 3532, not quite 4000 but close enough for me, i tried to push past 800/1800 and it just wont do it, requires some overvolting and i really don't want to do that just yet, haven't had it for more then 5 hours lol

It was some time back but I got 35xx overall on mine at stock clocks. That was in line with expectations, so never bothered with a overclock run

 

I'm getting P6575 with a 7990m and the i7-3630QM

 

tried to run 3dmark 11 and it refuses to get past the load screen. Not sure what the issue is.

 

I tell ya what tho it idles at amazing temps for being as mean as it is. Definitely better then I was expecting for something so power hungry
