*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

Very impressive. You do not seem to be suffering from a lack of power.

 

AW should have made a 300+ watt PSU. I would be swimming in the OC water...

 

yep stealth got me too. i forgot i turned it on then shut down laptop. turned on laptop later and was converting movies and working with photoshop. it lagged like poop on a stick. i thought it was because i was running photoshop and converting at the same time. Nope. that sneaky stealth mode.

 

Where are your multipliers at those levels?

 

So far, I only played with the Bios Percentage. Pretty new to i7. I'm going to try and use other means for fsb and multi. maybe tommorrow.

 

That's incredible. You ARE the King.

 

how are the temps going on both cpu and gpu during these tests + games, can it handle being oc'd the entire life of the laptop?

 

O.k..last one... going to bed now.

5% CPU + e-leet @ 24x + OC GPU

great job!!!
cali in the house!.wooohooo!

lol

 

so.... 21098 is the highest laptop 3dmark 06 score in the world? any vantage runs anyone?

 

hot dam son!

very nicely done

 

I ned to get on the phone and order. This lack of ability to compete is gnawing at me I want to bath in the glory that is benchmarking

 

Man....if I had an unlocked voltage I could be up there too!

lol

Dam you Dell, playing favorites against me!

 

anyone have any luck with Vantage? i wana see the GPU scores with the i7.

 

I'm at 13k on the gpu :/

I need to get to my cooling zone for my run to the bigs

 

All the Vantage GPU scores are around 11,000 at stock clocks since they're all using Xfire 4870s.

 

xfire right? well at east later today we'll see some mobility 5870 benches from g73jhs. i really hope alienware releases the 5870s this month. (probably won't happen till march) i'm dying to buy an R2.

 

Nice score Rengsey, numbers are starting to hit on the big league..and this is just the beginning!

 

Great job guys. Make sure you have screen shots of your clocks for CPU and GPU to get into the Top 5 rankings. Even if the runs are stock.

Great job!

 

Wow nice M17x scores!! Core i7 is truly awesome.

I'm dabbling in overclocking myself.. but i'm new to I7 and have very little clue what i'm doing. I increased my BCLK frequency which caused a system crash, thats pretty much as far as my i7 knowledge goes!

Can anyone share resources on how to get started with i7 overclocking?

 

Unfortunately it will depend on your system. Tools will very based on system. If you want some real general info I'm sure it can be googled, here I'm sure someone (Moo) will come up with something specifically for the M17xR2.

 

Do you have 3K points still in your system?

 

Vantage GPU is the same as R1. Stock CPU is in the 16K range. You're seeing a lot of 3DMark06 runs because of the new CPU.

 

I thought 3dm06 was dead, people?

Guess you hardcore benchmark runner's will never give up!! lol

 

It's a good way to test your CPU OC.

 

OK, gaming on battery did what I thought it would do. No flicker but crappy FPS. The system did not shut down.

 

Bigger numbers. Looks better.

 

watch out man! dont keep it overclcoked the whole time.

 

Well Mandrake...if I had unlocked voltage I think 3.8-4.0 would be doable on the CPU like you had on the M17. That coupled with these cards should absolutely get over 20k

I had 20k (or dam close) on my desktop with a Q9550 at 3.8 and dual 4850s stock I believe (similar hardwares)

 

Can someone with a 920XM check their Core for me? Core #2 on my CPU is higher by 6 - 7 degrees higher than the rest of the other Cores. Is it normal?

 

that's a good thing. means you can lower your settings and keep the high res and still play a fairly good game.

 

My Core #2 is the hottest one also.

 

yes, this is normal with i7's.
they can get as far as 10 to 15 degrees apart from lowest to highest core...

 

Thanks for the confirmation guys.

Side note: I'm gonna try to see if i can hit 22K

 

Go for it! Are you doing anything special for cooling?

 

I'm pretty sure my score is way too low, even ignoring my CPU scores...

Your score is not way too low. They are tweaking and OCing their systems.

 

Nothing....I have a Crylo Cooler thats all..... I haven't tried yet.. lol..

Getting there..

Anyone with the R2 up for trying some crysis benchmarks? So we can see where it stands?

 

i will try some. i just have to install it first

 

This should be interesting, I think it'd be the first crysis benchmark of this thread? Unless I missed one somewhere..

 

You're not paying attention to the fact that when Reng didn't overclock his graphics cards at all, his score was 19k. CPU score was only like 1,500 above mine, so explain how his 4870's are able to out perform mine by 2,500 points? And let me add that there were people scoring 18,000 minimum out of the box. Yet their CPU score wasn't getting 3,000 more points than mine.

I understand that I have an 820 and they have a 920, but the CPU shouldn't influence graphics scores by thousands of points, only the CPU score.

 

yea he did. his gpu clock was at 655 and yours was at 550

 

Everything Stock , including GPU was 19028 out the box. No OC on my part..lol Score is on the first page a few post down.

 

my bad i was looking at the most recent one you posted one with the 21k 3dmark

 

Kicker,

You got the gear, when you going to contribute? lol....

 

one word....
experience.....
that and you have a few settings off is all..

 

you also have 9.7... you need to install 9.12 hotfix or 10.1....

 

ok don...what game should i load up?
