*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

It is my storage drive. The 160gb ssd is my system drive.

 

oh right.. should have paid more attention haha.
i've been trying to find a 10,000 rpm drive, not having much luck. and ssd just doesn't have enough pace for me + pretty expensive at this time.

 

In theory a bare velociraptor should fit in the secondary hdd space with minor modification. It will be loud though. And carry no warranty on the drive itself since it is only supposed to be used with the 3.5" adaptor/tray.

 

i'll check that out. you have a link for a description of one for sale?

 

Apparently you can get the bare drives now. Just search velociraptor in newegg. I would recommend the newer SATA 3 drives (they will work ok with the SATA 2 in the M17x though - no performance loss)

 

You need a 12 volt rail to run a raptor we only got a 5 volt rail on M17x.

 

they have the 6gbs velociraptor bare drives for like $6k haha that's more than my computer costs.

the 3gb/s are closer to $300

 

That was a 20 pack for 6k. The power thing is more of a concern.

 

you can get ssd's for cheap now...60/80/100/120 gb's
and run it as an os drive. not try to run everything you own from it.
and keep your my doc's folder on the second hard drive. since this is the folder holding damn near all your personal stuff. even game saves.
you can run the os/office/adobe/autocad/corel all from a 60 gig drive with plenty of space to spare. like 30 gigs of space left. (speculation, because it's been a while since i have done it.) and that's like a 100 bucks.
but!
ys, there is a but. you have to get the ssd's with cache memory or you will get the stutters bad! the downfall going super cheap on an ssd.

 

Whats the secret to Aquamark? I can't get above 168, and there was only a 3K differance in my single GPU to dual GPU. I'll be setting up a new Benching SSD this evening on my second 160GB X25-M. Going to call Intel and see about getting the 40GB RMAed since it's well within the three year warranty. If not I might just pick up a second 40GB when I get home.

 

Well just spent 15 min (half on hold) on the phone with intel. They said to just mail the X25-V when I get back to the states and they will RMA it. Gave me a case #, so at lease I'll get a working drive out of it. Now I just need to set up my extra SSD to bench on. Going to do so now

 

nice!
no secret, but i did get 241k single 5870m card

 

hey guys, if anyone can help me out, i was wondering if anyone knows what is the highest cpu vantage score reported so far for the M17x r2.

so far i've seen dr650 is 21600, is that still true?

thanks

 

I believe it is StamatisX

 

thanks scook, would you happen to know what was his score?
just wanna compare to mine M15x score, hehehe
thanks again

 

I was wrong, looks like it is DR650se with 21600. Going to beat it?

 

already did with an M15x, muhahahhahaah

 

Holy hell that is an impressive score!!!

Very well done sir!

Now what can you do in 06?

 

here is my 06: trying to get to 18k but i think i need setFSB to do it.

 

Every bit as impressive....can't wait to see what Johnksss says haha

He was really excited to break 17k 06 with his G73 but this will really impress him

 

We need to get you on hwbot (Join Team EVGA Enthusiasts )

You oughta run the full battery of tests (HWBot has the full list)

 

i concur!!

that is damn impressive!!

 

ok will look into, still a benching noob,
still too cheap to shovel out $5 for setFSB, for true cpu oc'ing.
but t stop alone is pretty impressive.

 

I thought it would get your attention John haha

I considered myself a benching noob too....until I managed to get the best laptop vantage score in the world (at the time) then I took it a little more serious haha

You are there....(just for single gpu)

 

he sure is there.. he beat moo's top gpu score

 

Guess the M15x never occurred to either of us for your mobile i7 benching John

lol

 

yeah it did. remember..it was on my list of possibility.

 

i'm super surprise to see the M15 top the M17x r2 cpu scores, since you guys get the extra 5% oc boost. trying to see if i can hit the magical 22k cpu score, hehehe

 

Oh, I thought you were looking at the Asus, the MSI, and the M17x

 

Now start playing with setfsb, once you get that memory bandwidth up then scores get even better! (mainly the physx score)

 

thanks for the tip. i've seen mandrake hit 18k on 06 with setFSB and tstop, so i know its possible to do better. just need more pointers. not too many benching pros with the M15x sadly.

 

i just could find one at the right price...they wanted like 1700...i was like..huh

hummmm, 22k cpu in vantage huh....

 

That is higher than my stock i7 930 was haha

 

i'm almost there, i think setFSB will get it there and then some. i've already got to 21919 without it.

 

You got that already, just get some lower latency ram

The 4GB DDR3-1333 Cas 7 HyperX kit in particular. Unless you can get XMP working, then the 1866 stuff (which would be godly in a laptop)

 

those runs were with hyperX's cas7. but i've gotten similar scores with cas 9 too.

 

maybe...it's a give and take when using setfsb..but it gives you room to be more precise with your over clock.

i have gotten as high as that as well...
ORB - Compare

gpu over clocks suck though
`

 

wow nice score. geez that 2 point higher, thats gonna drive me crazy until i beat it, hehehehe

 

You will, just keep at it

 

yep. like scook said...you'll get it

 

I never thought I would be getting as far as I did with the GTX 280m's then I did a run that matched Mandrake (he was the top at the time - it was insane that we tied down to the point haha) and then a week or two later I beat it by a fair margin. He later beat me again....but after he had moved on to the 4870s I beat the score he had achieved. When everyone else got the R2 then I finally got the 4870s for my R1 and beat all the top scores for the R1. Then I laid low until July hehe, and you see what I did then

 

hahaha i'm just glad mandrake not around. i can't touch the guy. He had an M15x for a week and blew all my scores away like it was nothing. but he did teach me a few things.

 

Ya he is quite the sensai when it comes to benching lol, him and John taught me pretty much all I know

 

well...that's because you aren't using an a/c either...lol

that might be true, but your a hella damn fast learner and improviser!..

 

ahahah yeah he did teach me the magical powers of the ac unit, heheh

thanks guy, gotta go...probably be thinking about those extra 2 points you got all night, heheheh

Joker or someone can you point me in the right direction to get the prime 1.55 scores for 8 thread multicore i thought i saw some on NB forums but it said 7.787sec and i am sure my scores is not the top i have a ES 920xm. I have been playing with multipliers in TS and want to find some benchmarks to compare too.

thanks

 

lol
well, dont think to hard on it...lol

i have that top score beat, but havent posted it yet.

 

Hey, just checking in. My internet is down in the room and I'm too lazy to stop by the MWR to get online (except now) Just thought I'd see what I've missed the last few days.

On another note, looking for CPU scores? Let me throw out a quick reminder I had a better one I think, lost it when my SSD died a week ago.

Original Post

Vantage: P19237
GPU: 18432
CPU: 22136

 

back to work for me. I can't post anything since the internet is down in my room, guess it gives me time to bench though. But I gotta get some sleep. Plenty of CPU swapping going on tommorrow.

Inap, those are great scores. I need to install Riva Tuner so I can push my clocks higher. Keep up the work man, lookin good.

 

i hear ya. just save them locally and post when you can.
