Glad to see it helped, now get to roasting that system![]()

6850 Desktop clocks of 820/1100. P14992, almost a thousand point just from drivers.
I'm not feeling the urge to go any faster. -

3DMark Vantage P15676 3D Marks
Looks like this is good enough for the Top 5 of the R3s. -
Just ran a Vantage 14656 on my R2 this evening... not bad for a 720QM CPU.
Previous best 3DMark11
Previous best Crysis

Dang! Nice runs guys
Looks like we may have a few newcomers to the benchmarking disease lol. It's nice to see some more competition out there.
-
My CPU was at 103.99mhz. My GPU was at 840/1175.
I tried with higher clocks: (850/1215) but I actually had a lower score across all boards.
I ran 3DMark 11 and my overall score was 3755, pretty crappy it seems. My GPU for some reason just won't go that high. And 850/1215 is reasonably high yet it doesn't even come close to the 4000 + score people are getting.
Edit: I am using dell drivers, apparently the 11.6 did not install the actual drivers. I will retry later with the newer drivers posted on the previous page. -
I've posted on this thread before, but not recently. Work usually doesn't leave much room for play lately. I do love benching, though. Considering my hardware limitations, I pushed my current configuration as far as I can without upgrades. I was going to get add SSD drive, add 6970 CFX and 920/940XM CPU upgrade to become a more viable M17x competitor, but I am going with an M18x instead.
-
-
So I'm pretty new to all of this benchmarking stuff and I want to know if this is a good score for my hardware. I have a m17x r3 with a 2630qm and an 6870m. I have bm bclk set to 105.6 and my clocks on the 6870 are 870/1285
I scored a 11198 on vantage in the default test. Is this a good score for my system? -
-
Anyone have any benchmarks with the 580m?
-
no one has the 580m yet afaik.
-
Installed 11.6 and good results were had.
Now I will try again with my CPU overclocked. Will post tomorrow. -
Nice run there! You can probably push the GPU a bit further. -
-
All these benches makes me wish I had gotten the 6970m. I tried to call Dell to order the 6970m and they said that at this time they aren't selling Any gpu upgrades for the m17x r3!!! How lame is that!

It's not lame, it's just not true. Call another rep and ask for a manager if they tell you the same thing. If they tell you they don't currently have stock for upgrades that's one thing but telling you they're not selling them is just a dumb rep.
-
I may not be up there with you guys but im very happy considering i have the base specs. i tried to upload but it didnt show up. I got an 11300 in vantage

Can you provide a screen shot or at least a break down of the CPU/GPU scores?
-
I'll have to do it tonight, at work atm! lol appreciate your help. Thanks!
-
Scores are different because he is running an oc.
-
That could be it. I'll rerun the test tonight, and then set my clocks close to his and see what results I get.
I do remember the test results stating that my score was below others with the same system. -
So here are my results. I don't understand how a core clock boost of like 35mhz and a mem clock boost of like 15mhz can yield 500 + more of a Graphics score on 3DMark 11.

3899 is my score, I cannot believe just tied someone with spot #4 on the list. -
-
And my GPU clocks are as high as they go. A few more mhz more and the driver crashes or the computer needs to be powered down. -

Screen Shot of my 3dvantage.
11.7 drivers. Could only OC my gpu to 820/1150 with msi afterburner. Anything higher and my system became unstable ie: locked up, driver crash.
I also added with in the screen shot my cystaldiskmark results. I have a Kingston SSD Now V+ 128g. Seems kinda low for a ssd compared to other results found on this forum.

I'm just barely getting started with the M18x testing and I am going to work today. Still installing all my stuff on the new system.
Here's a quick side-by-side bench on the R2 I am returning and the M18x that arrived yesterday. I'll be posting more on the M18x thread soon.

Leaderboards have been updated with Jas71's Top 5 Run M17x R3 3DMark Vantage run of 15676.
If anyone else has scores that belong in the top 5, please PM me, My schedule is packed for the next few weeks and not much time to search and sort. Thanks! -
oh cool I'm still on the boards. Haven't even benched my 2820 and new 6970 that clocks way higher than previous one....I totally forgot this forum existed for a while lol.
Maybe I'll redownload these apps and give it a shot this weekend or next!
6990 slurrr -
Just curious what GPU clocks you guys had or were running on the 5870s Core and MEM when benching? What was the max settings?
I am currently trying to reach the elusive 20k score. I am soo close but yet so far lol
Cheers. -
reborn - I was able to run my 5870s stable and with acceptable temps at 800/1200. Much more than that produced artifacts, display corruption and temps in the high 90's, and sometimes a BSOD. Here is a screen shot from my R2 OC'd as described. LINK

To kick start the bench!

Thanks for the tip! You have given me a starting point score to beat in Vantage now
I'm just setting random clocks at the moment. Running bench after bench lol.
I'm going to re dl Vantage now and see what I can score since 3d mark 06 is so disappointing for me atm. I can't even reach my 20k goal lol. It must be the drivers ehahahahah
Cheers. -
Here were my 3DMark11 and 3DMark06 benchmarks on the R2. You already blew my '06 scores out of the water with your 920 Extreme CPU, so I trust the results with Vantage will be equally higher. -
I really want to bench 3d mark 11 but it won't even load the program properly for me.... hmmmmmmmmmm any ideas?
SystemInfo initialization failed.
+ I just downloaded and installed the latest vantage but it saids some dll error when I try to run the bench
Cheers. -
-
I've got it going again. I had to uninstall futuremark sysinfo and reinstall an older version.
Time to crunch some numbers!
Cheers. -
