*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

Welcome to the next installment of the Alienware M17x 'All Powerful' Benchmark thread here on NBR. Mandrake will be keeping a running tally of whose system is rocking the #'s. Thanks Mandrake!

We have enjoyed two previous threads which can be found here:

M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 1

M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 2

There are several apps which can be used to benchmark your system. Following is a short list of some which are typically used. There are others and the core benchmarking members will have plenty of suggestions - so ask away.

• 
  FutureMark Benchmark Apps
• PCMark Vantage
• 3DMark Vantage
• 3DMark 06
  
  Component Benchmark Tools
• POVRay v3.7 (multi-threaded version)
• Fritz 9 Chess Benchmark - standalone
• SuperPi Mod v1.5
• HDTune
• Everest Ultimate - Trial Version

A word of caution concerning benchmarking... While benchmarking / number chasing can be quite a bit of fun, please be aware that benchmarking your system is pushing your system to its limits. It can and will stress your components. Do so at your own risk - nobody is responsible for this but you.

Finally, as with all threads here on NBR, please remember the forum rules when posting. Any images posted which cause page scrolling will be removed. Repeat offenders will receive infractions.

From this point going forward, please provide a screen shot of your total score along with gpu-z and cpu-z in the picture. Take a look at my screen shots if you don't understand. Please provide a link to an attached screen shot OR an image share site like imageshack.us to have your score posted ( how to post a pic with imageshack). I will only post the top 5 scores in each category so you must "earn" your spot on the this . I will do my best to find the screen shots of the best score. If you believe you belong in the top 5 in one of the categories, post the screen shot and I will add it. This should be fun.....

mandrake i tough i was in the top 5

 

Post it. I sure as heck didn't go through ALL the threads/posts.

 

where will i lie?

you also need nvidia gpu's even though there isn't going to be alot soon.

 

I guess we are not distinguishing between nvidia and ati scores anymore?

there went my claim to fame (that is, until I actually bench these ATI cards )

 

Something tells me there are no nVidia systems in the top 5. Prove me wrong.

 

Nope, I am posting ATI or nVidia in the scores but I doubt we see any nVidia in the top 5. So only a R1, R2 distinction.

 

is here on the main thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=424518

 

i'll try to while i can but there should a little top 3 or more for nvidia.

 

Look how I'm posting the scores. I need the screen shot.

 

will you accept ORB links like I usually do? That is the least fakable form of submission

 

Yes. If you can see the clocks it's good.

 

for ATI cards the GPU clocks will show as what the VBIOS is set to, so if you use a software to OC it will not show

I am using bios to overclock though so I should be ok

 

Until proven otherwise the only way to OC the ATI cards is through the vbios anyway.

 

Ill frequent here a bit... not into benching anymore, but I can help squeeze every ounce of power out of theses systems...


Dont sleep on my skills.

 

Since you'll have a system with dual 4870s you need to jump back in.

 

Top 5 3dMark06 are there now. If you have a higher score please post it.

 

1 last spot for the top 5 in Vantage. Who has it??

 

not me. But there wanst alot of benchmarkers with 4870. weveryoone had the 280m gtx sli. And if so it would be scook9......

let see what monday brings to my plate.

 

Scook has the ATI cards. He needs to post a new score.

 

true. Scook9 stop hiding your results and show us...

 

He obviously is holding back until he passes 14K.

 

lol. He might wait to long and someone else will do it.

 

Once I get started again... I wont stop. thats what im afraid of...

Thats also why I didnt build a "benching" system... just got what I needed for gaming and working.

 

I am not hiding anything

Sadly I have not had a chance to do any runs yet outside of stock ones

The system does not like overclocking inside, so I need to get it outside to cool it down

 

I sat mine in front of an AC when benching, although not sure if it really made much of a differance. Just wish I had more time with my system, I was shooting to take down both Mandrake and Rengsey. Guess it'll be a while.

Oh, and be kind to your SSD when you take it outside

 

excuses again.

it's been 2 years now you said you were going to run fc2.... I did it stock gpu so you won't have a problem there.

 

My replacement SSD should arrive next week lol

Lesson learned. Let it warm up slowly and powered OFF for a few hours between inside and outside time lol

 

Yeah there should not be any excuse. I did not have to go outside to get my scores. I did it all at room temperature. It does not even get cold in Norther Cali at that time.

 

well fine!

I will run some dam tests!

lol

 

bout time.

 

well mine is coming in next week and we shall see how it scores. I quickly become very bored with benching and i will try and see what i get but my enthusiasm will quickly fade.

BTW if anyone can find a 920 in the 600-700 range lemme know

 

You can get ES models from ebay $600.00 shipped. search 920xm.

 

Well to shut you all up.....I have some preliminary runs

3DMark06: 18686
3DMark Vantage: P13616
GPU: 13873
CPU: 12902

The cpu score was weak on the vantage run, I have gotten 13600 on CPU before at similar clocks, that would have put the overall past P14k

Since the GPU clocks are not showing properly in ORB, the clocks were 665/1100. I will be sure to take screenshots for you in the future.

YOU ALL HAPPY NOW?!

 

about time. lol. jk. great job.

 

Someone found the "secret" to 3DMark06.

 

i want the secret to 3dmark06...

 

I dunno what it is....he kept asking and I kept saying I dunno. lol

That knocks major81 from a top 5 spot. I know he lurks, need to start up again major81. We need to see handshake also. He's been gone for a while.

 

Great job scook. All you need was just a " lil " push.

 

No secret, just tired of listening to all you fools talking down at me lol

Now someone make me actually try this time

I need some challenge!

 

I think don is the only one left with a system.

 

What, I don't count? lol

 

My comment was a response to your comment meaning besides you.

 

Bench against your self ?
