*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

att made my system unstable in terms of performance. It made my system slower.

 

Woow this thread is way back. Probably because of all the issues.

 

I'm focusing on my cpu score right now. I'm hitting 4700 on 06 with my cpu at 3.140ghz. After that, it's very picky with clock speeds. Lets see what I can get with it.

 

you can just set your system up to run the gpu tests in dual core mode then and the cpu portions in quad mode Don, then you got a good score going on

 

Was that the secret to higher GPU score??

 

i dont know how to do that. if i did when i had my 280m's it would of been a different story.

 

This is a cpu score.

 

lol. i dont have a 920 so i cant hit those numbers.

 

With SLI systems running the gpu tests in 06 using dual cores will give MUCH higher results then using all 4 cores. But the difference in cpu scores keeps the overall scores higher with quad mode overall. If you can combine the two though, well, that is how Johnkss got his 06 score so dam high with a pair of 9800m gtx's and a quad cpu at 3.0 GHz

you just have to get a program that manages core affinity for other processes and set it to be based on the time into the 06 process or something like that (sadly never got into it when I had my GTX 280m's)

 

I'm learning something new everyday.

 

update my spot in the r1 section mandrake!

yep. nvidia has issues with quads and 3dmark06
benching vantage you would get better scores with factory drivers and no system tweaks...get to tweaking a bit too much and you would see it in the runs.

 

Updated!

Good job in knocking witcher from the ranks in Vantage and 06. I think these days he's by himself at desktop review.

 

What score did you get with 9800s? I remember I was only in the 13K range with 8800s.

 

yep good job i was wondering when that is going to happen i don't even have a M17X no more i hope the scores keep getting better and better every day for you guys

 

Vantage: P11253

06: 16851

His 06 score almost beat me with a .33 GHz higher OC and higher clocks on the GPUs in my M17x....I really needed to do that trick lol

 

The G73 is the ultimate CPU OC'ing laptop. It can hit a 7% increase in BCLK frequency and full control of the TDP/TDC and multipliers. Now image if it had dual 5870s. 25K would be a piece of cake.

 

nice. and itsa nice card also. i want 5870 crossfire.

 

25k vantage? My desktop with dual gtx 280's OC'd and a i7 920 @ 3.8ghz only scores 24ishk without physixs, 26k with.

So 25k in a laptop would be so friggin nuts.

 

well a 920 and 4870s outclocked gets 21,000 in 06 so it is posible.

 

he is talking about 06....lol maybe 17k vantage

 

i meant to say 21,000 in 06. i wasnt thinking. lol.

 

almost 22k really

if this flickering crap was fixed, I think we would see 23k or so

 

Hopefully the power restrictions are more lax in the next version. Even more so than Joker's modified system.

 

Oh wow then. It is like zfactors .29 for the M17x then haha

I just want an unlocked core voltage

 

dual card 16.8k
single card 13.6k

 

Time to get a core i7 laptop.

 

unfortunately....all i would do is bench it then sell it.
but the thought of an i7 with 5870's would be the ultimate machine

 

how would that be different from most of your other computers john?

lol

 

guys are those the stock clocks of the ATIs. i want them all to be exactly to stock. or someone upload the stock vbios of R1

http://go.notebookreview.com/?id=525X832&url=http://i50.tinypic.com/k4eebn.jpg

 

yes that link is stock

 

how would what be different?

 

benching them and then selling them

 

I think it's time for John to take another power nap.

 

Mandrake,

Can you update my last score?

 

nice.

can you do a cpu run only in vantage and 06?

the highest you can go and at 3.33ghz
also 2.66 would be nice.

 

i have one x58 classified benching system...what computer?
i bench parts.
vga
cpu
pci
ram

you can only do so much with a laptop.
heres one days setup..

another day getting ready to test dice.

 

Disco light and having a bong is my kind of party.

JOhn, seeing your setup makes me want to go back to building desktop. I miss those days.

Side note: I still have my nVidia CM Stacker 830 collecting dust. The funny thing is, I colored the word " nVidia " logo red.

Another side note: I have a close friend that work at ATi/AMD. He got hooks on the 5970s. Maybe I should just get some?

 

what setup did you have?

 

The last setup that I had was the the Asus Crosshair , BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC in SLi with AMD 3200+. Zalman CPU fan , and tons of mroe fans From those specs, you can tell that, that was how long ago I left the desktop era.

 

that was a while ago. i'm waiting for fermi to come out so ati to drop there prices then i will snag a 5770 maybe in crossfire.

 

The 5770 is around $210.00, won't you snag them...it's cheap.

 

really??
i have one 5970 now, but getting ready to bench a 5870 for points. i love my 5970 after i flashed the bios. although i need a copy of the diamond slave bios. im running it as an asus.

the main reason i switched because i ran out of benching on my laptop. and i started benching from the dv9000-gateway fx. 3 of the four models-d901c. so 5 tops under my belt...

they are like 179.00 right now

 

i used this registry tweak for the cpu. here is what i reached as for the cpu speed.



however i cant finish benchmark06 as benchmark crashes during cpu test. voltage thing as a friend before mentioned so i cant do something more.

 

you have to get it cooler.

also up the multiplier and drop the fsb alittle. you have to find a "comfort level" for both. also when it is getting to it's peak, you then have to tweak the ram speed to get every last drop of performance out of it.

 

That's modern, lol. The last time I built a system it had the Asus P2B system board.

 

Your wish is my command.

 

rengsey:
can we get you to run some of the test mandrake ran...time to find out about just how many cores are running at full speed on the m17x2

i think i remember joker doing it and it showing his multiplier only at 15 or so.
thanks. just look at the pictures mandrake took.

thanks.

great score by the way!

 

Crashing in 06 is an unstable CPU OC. Like Don said, it is temps. Sometimes I can do 3.33 inside others only 3.30. But it IS doable.

And about clocks, I dont use 10.5 multi at all.....my highest clocks are at 10x 333 (1333 in BIOS). I like to keep the multi low so that I can get my RAM high too (it is rated 1333 so no worries on stability) as ram speed is a HUGE bottleneck in CPU performance (something I took away from that fun computer engineering class)

But question for you Mandrake, didn't you manage to boot and get a screenie of your QX9300 at 3.45 or something around there? Please share how that happened....I want those speeds lol

 

I think he sent his system back cause of the flickering issues.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
