M17x CF5870's Benchmarks

That's what I was thinking of the processor. Joker has the same system as me except the processor. That must be the difference in scores.

 

There are no overclocks in the bios either. Only turbo boost is enabled. Maybe that makes a difference as well.

 

games, these scores.

 

I'm starting to get confused here, why are anything other than GPU scores being compared?

 

thats a great score well done

 

LE25 has a point, screw these scores. All big scores show is how big your E-pen is. Let's see how these babies run games... now.

 

Ok I'm starting to get a little irked, whenever I try to run 06 the whole computer locks up, uninstalled then reinstalled, anyone got any ideas? It does it to Vantage also

 

Ok here's my latest run, no real tweaks. Just the system with stock drivers and a clean windows install:

 

So, Joker, which CPU r u using with that score

 

That looks better. GPU score is 25% or so over 4870's. Seems to match the 4870 clock for clock, plus you get DX11 support. I'm sure there will still be speed gains with driver updates as well.

Has anyone tried OCing them yet? If so, what kind of results are you guys getting?

edit: quoted wrong person

 

An i820 CPU.


Okay I've gone ahead and made a bunch of bios files for those of you that want to OC using bios flash. It should save everyone time. Here's the breakdown of how the naming scheme works:

ex. 8001000a.rom/8001000b.rom = correspond to those clocks for card 1 (a) and card 2 (b).

ex. 9001000a11.rom/9001000a11.rom = correspond to those clocks for card 1 running at 1.1v (a11) and card 2 at 1.1v (b11).

Ok, here are some late night results for me.
I ran 3DMark Vantage with all stock drivers and stock settings. Also, this is with 5% oc-ed cpu from the bios. Too bad I received the system today with few dead pixels and had to order a replacement.

 

Looks like the 5% OC helps the scores a bit.

 

Now that's what the score should look like....not to mention that's how scores here should be posted.

Who will be the first to get 22K 3DMark06?

 

huh im confused u got 14k and sum1 else got 19? is that due to his 8 gig ram?

 

RAM has no impact on the score. Probably due to the fact that one program was 3DMark Vantage, and the other 3DMark06.

 

ah ok thanks =)
mm my laptop was sent from shangai lol? why would my r2 replacement be built there o0? and is now in NL, i hope they dont use all refurbushed gear in a replacement o.0

 

5150Joker,

on your previous screenshot, I assume you kept the thermal monitoring open during the benchmark. Either the program has the trouble reading out CF temps+utilization or it implies 1 card didn't work at all. (It shows ~0% utilization.)

 

Guess I'll go with the Asus G73 then.

 

dosent look like their much of an improvement on benching then against 4870s does it

but i suppose its higher which is always a good thing on here.

 

why the heck are we using 3d mark benchmarks? play crysis.thats the real benchmark and testing ground to check how strong 5870 cf are.

 

Crysis? Need a game from at least this year. Metro 2033 DX11 would be a better benchmark.

 

How do we run benchmarks in those games? Is it an addon?

 

Use FRAPS to get te FPS on any game played

 

Ok, I will do that when I get home from work on Crysis. Is the other game available on Steam? Also, what do I do in the game when fraps is running? Just run around and shoot stuff to see what my fps is? Sorry for the dumb questions.

 

For Crysis, you can download the Crysis Benchmark tool. Check the first page of the benchmarking thread, should have a link to it.

 

Ok thanks a lot.

 

For Metro 2033 I just want to know if it's playable. I played it with high settings and DX11 and it was choppy. I wanted to know if the dual cards can handle it.

 

Wow!
People got there XF laptops already that fantastic.
Will read this thread top to bottom for sure.
I hope they are worth the wait.

 

There we go!

 

Here is a link to the new Alien vs. Predator dx11 benchmark test. It's 303mb.

Yep but on these you OC by 200MHZ the GPU. Your GPU-Z says 900MHZ and the stock is 700MHZ

 

Use the M17x Benchmark thread -

http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...-official-m17x-benchmark-thread-part-3-a.html

We're not going to have multiple threads based on GPUs. The benchmark thread is supposed to be for results and result discussion only. If chit chat posts are being made there, report them and they will be removed.

Questions, reply via PM.

Thanks.
