*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

I was just looking at them and thinking that.

my goal....P21

lol - is going to be a fun slide show....0.03 fps

 

Haha, I think in one test I counted and it showed like 5 frames total lol

 

I was just asking general top score's... you know my facination with score's and them being high.. all over youtube you see me asking.. so what was your best vantage score.. hahaha.

 

My best vantage score is linked in my sig. For the time being

My desktop did 29k GPU if you care haha. And that was stock 5870s

For all the other benches out there, all the links you could possibly want are here
scook9's profile

 

Pfft as if you compare that desktop with a laptop lol. The Alienware is good.. it's not god ok lol.

Out fof curiosity.. what's the highest Vantage score in the world for lappys?

 

Right now...that would be DR650e. Soon, some x7200 owner lol

 

Guess that would make me second for now

 

For now. I used to be #1....back in the day when me and Mandrake were going head to head with the R1 haha

 

Hey I can push it higher if I want lol. I'm just too lazy to reflash the cards. There's a bunch of tweaks I can do for sure.

 

Better get it done, while you still got a chance at being #1

 

Lol it's sad.. I've forgotten how to flash then

Thats what over playing BC2 does to you.. amongst other stuff

 

Looks like I may not be able to run 3DMark05 on the Intel GMA on this laptop

The video driver is custom and has a retarded feature that automatically switches between the discrete and IGP (like the prototype for optimus) and it refuses to launch the benchmark without switching to the GT210m

All other benches are working fine though.

 

that over clock looks pretty damn low...considering that top guy is clocked at 150 fsb. or did yours drop or something?

go get'em tiger!..lol

this is like the most used phrase on nbr...rotflmao

dry disabling the gt210 in windows, but dont reboot if it ask to. then see if it will load up.

 

What are you talking about with 150fsb? And disabling it in windows does not seem to be working

 

I can't wait to see some X7200 scores, when I get home I'm going to see if a little dice will help challenge them

I'm always down for a challenge! lol

Lol



With regards to the 720M, using msconfig to boot on one core disables turbo boost Using MS config for 6 processors gives me a multiplier of 18, less = no turbo boost and running at 1.6-1.7Ghz :rolleyes

 

I could have sworn I remember someone running a 720qm on 2 cores and it booted with 2.8 GHz speed in windows

 

Hmm, time for some research. I'm going to quickly crash the notebook first via SetFSB Also, can't disable hyperthreading in the bios

 

yeah..
Veld's 735 marks 3Dmark 2001 run with 82815 Integrated Graphics @ 133/0MHz

ill try to bot like that right now...hold on a see..

 

That is not the GMA I have...I am running a GM45 chipset.

And vantage was not too painful, P81! The program told me that the score is not a good representation of my systems capabilities and I should re run it at lower settings lol

And all scores are now uploaded. That just leaves 05 then I can put my HyperX ram back in the M17x lol - and actually use the Asus for work....since that is why it was bought haha

 

what that mean?
sounds like someone doesn't have time to investigate is what i got out of all that....lol


side note:
i seem to be maxing out at 2.8 on the turbo gadget

 

The problem with this notebook is there must be some bios level cooperation with the drivers to do this switching. And unfortunately there is NOTHING in the bios regarding the graphics cards and settings

And just remembered, gotta run Heaven DX9 for both cards. So many benches to be ran....lol - Actually it is looking like I can't run Heaven either Dam this proprietary video driver crap!

 

im not talking about the vga card...im talking about over clocking the cpu. since this makes more of a difference than over clocking the vga when benching 01/03/05 pcmark 04/05

 

You have to start quoting whoever your conversation is in reference to...I am confused thoroughly. I mentioned nothing about overclocking the gpu.....

 

and goes on...i thought you knew i was talking about the fsb o cpu over clocking, since we are dealing with 01/03/05 which are purely 85 percent cpu over clock and 15 percent gpu over clock.
my bad.

 

When I said I had to lower my overclock, I meant the CPU, just knocked the FSB down 5 MHz and I was good to go. I was benching the Intel IGP, so no overclocking there at all lol

Hope we are clear now. The BIOS and driver stuff I was talking about was for disabling the GPU switching so that I could run 05 properly. Something about the intel driver is also keeping me from being able to run Heaven at the default settings for the benchmark.

 

clear as a bell.

even if you uninstall the nvidia card, the igp still wont run?(meaning..leave it as standard vga)

 

A new validation for the 940XM


CPU-Z Validator 3.1

 

I knew it was just a matter of time before one of you out OC'd me.....lol

Guess I will just have to figure something out!

 

To be honest I had my benchmarking partition accidentally deleted (damn dd command...) and now that I am setting everything back up, I decided to try on more time LOL

 

Linux wont watch your back the way windows will haha

Good to hear you are back up and running though and be happy it was not the other partition that got smoked, your main one.

 

Yeah true, that's why I keep linux and the benchmarking partitions on the external drive...

btw, do you know any other mobile CPU that got a higher validation frequency? Hwbot is nice for desktops but not laptop friendly...

 

it's laptop friendly...laptop parts that is.
and can you bench wprime at that speed?

 

I use mobile and laptop and it still doesn't find all of them...

I can run wprime on x30 multi

 

hummm, interesting....i use the part in the laptop and it finds them all. even ones i never even knew exist.

exactly how are you searching?

and what was your score for that?
that's all that comes up under your name though..
HARDWARE CUPS - THE FASTEST IN THE HARDWARE CATEGORY.

#1 Core i7 940XM in CPU-Z with 4355.86 mhz - 2.0 points
#1 2x Mobility Radeon HD 5870 in 3Dmark 2006 with 23483 marks - 2.0 points
#1 Core i7 940XM in SuperPi with 9sec 953ms - 2.0 points
#2 2x Mobility Radeon HD 5870 in 3DMark Vantage - Performance with 17805 marks - 1.5 points

 

Does ThrottleStop show all 8 threads using the 30 multiplier in the middle of a wPrime run? If so, what TDP/TDC settings does that take?

 

Let me check it cause I always have the TS minimized and I kill the explorer.exe as well

*EDIT*

running wprime with 1 thread, TS displays x30multi for all the cores (sometimes it goes to 29.99)
running with 8 threads it goes to x24multi (and 23)

TDP (92) / TDA (76) I used those values for this try

 

now that is interesting as well. so it's not holding at 30...

 

No it doesn't hold it (due to temperatures) but if you change the Turbo Ratio Limit to lets say x32 it will crush.

Did you find a way for hwbot to display only the mobile scores?

 

it always displayed mobile scores...just not by laptop brand.

 

I am not searching by laptop brand, I look for all of them, as long as they are mobile scores. It doesn't display all of them unless you specify what CPU or GPU, etc.. that's why I said it's not laptop friendly

 

im not sure i follow? all of them?
give me an example.

edit: and if your talking about world ranking page...not gonna happen any time soon...to much coding and there is one guy doing it all..in between working 40+ hour weeks.
also they said it would take a minimum of like 14 days to train someone else to do it...

 

for instance


As you can see I search for all the CPU-Z scores from mobile CPUs (different results when I use laptop instead of mobile)

I don't expect it to happen any time soon either, this doesn't change the fact that it's not laptop friendly

 

yeah...never said it was laptop friendly..but i did say it was laptop parts friendly..

you did better than me...i typed in laptop and mobile and got everything but that..lol
ok, was putting it in the wrong place..
but half the cpus in the data base dont have mobile attached to them.
example:
Brand Intel
Model: Core i7 920XM @ 4,248.15MHz
Cooling: Stock

now if they could figure out an easy way to put mobile in there...then it would work pretty good.
going to go ask and see how hard that would be to add.

 

An easy way is to add an extra field when you submit the score that says if it is a desktop or a laptop. About the already submitted results it's going to be hard though... unless they notify all users to edit their submissions and select the extra field

Anyways... wrong thread to discuss those things

 

actually it's not, because i found a very simple fix
just put mobile in the description box.

so, to all benching who submit to hwbot.....just start adding mobile in the description box and we will be able to see all by typing mobile.

edit. i just opened up a thread to see if we can get at least a few current user to help.

 

That makes sense. Core i7 desktop CPUs like the i7-920 have default turbo TDP/TDC values of 130/110. When running the 30 multiplier, I think you would need to jack those two values up to about that level to maintain the full 30 multiplier while running 8 threads of wPrime. The power adapter would likely give out first. Either that or you might end up being the first guy on your block with an Alienware hot dog roaster.

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Yea but least I have score's to show for that kind of talk.

 

I used to say that....then I opened up the chest freezer and got those thoughts out of my head haha

 

lol. same here. when i had like 5 trophies. then i got those thoughts up out of my head as well.

 

how high can the new 940xm overclock???
