*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

There you go new guy
Just remember these guys all had duel ati's so your scores arent that far off

 

Yea, top scores are typically updated and kept track of on Page one. ... and what is that 820 doing in the top scores j/k 3vil.

 

DR650SE, I see that you are #1 on the Top 5 in the m11x benchmark thread...... AWESOME !!!!

 

lol thanks, I figure it's going to be a while before anyone challenges me. It doesn't seem as popular with the crowd. I'll be joining this group soon. I'm going to order regardless by APR 13th. I have some gift cards that expire then. Hopefully the 5870's will be out by then, if not, then I'll just have to knock you to the number two slots

At the moment I have PCMark Vantage downloading so I'll give that a shot tommorrow.

 

Always welcome a challenge Mr. DR650SE.

 

For a single card that is actually pretty good... when my crossfire is off I am getting like 11600+, but that is with 10.3 drivers that score lower in 3dmark06 but do better in games. Your system is running fine based on those numbers!

No new records here, stock M17x-R2

820 + Dual 4870, 10.3 Beta Drivers

if you need some single card results

nice runs. i cant compare to that.

 

probably could on the GPUs?

I know my CPU smacks yours around though when overclocked

 

i can hit 4700 in 06 with my cpu but breaking over 13,2xx on the cpu is harder,

 

I have broken 4800 cpu in 06, wasn't my best cpu run

Wasn't bad either though. The 920xm+5870m broke 17k though

 

i broke 17k also with stock gpus so i'm happy with that.

i dont think i broke 4800 on the cpu either.

 

no don, that is a single 5870m and 920xm lol

not CF

 

i know that. lol. i'm just saying it was a massive overclock to get 17k which is very good that it could achieve it but i am happy that my gpu's were stock and just my cpu was overclocked to get the same number.....

 

gotcha

Need to get over 18k though Don

 

Following up on the SSD performance stuff I had a few pages back, it looks like several hours of on time with TRIM enabled recovered me a few MB/s of write speed but did not effect the read speeds

Can anyone else tell me if these is are line with what I should expect?

Thanks

 

What clocks do you guys run your cards at?

 

gaming stocked.

 

I'll make it a goal.

 

What's your highest 06 score?

 

17,265 i believe.

i just ran 06 again.

That would be the stock score with the i7.

 

Depends on the test, but so far:
Vantage: 665/1130
06: 650/1100
Crysis: 630/???

Have not maxed out the OC for any other programs yet so can't tell you. I know Vantage lets you get further than 06 and Crysis will be quite unstable above 630 for me (overvolting ANY results in stutter though thus the low OC in Crysis). I was generally able to overvolt for the two futuremark programs though without seeing stutter.

To clarify since some people still do not understand the difference, I am referring to the stutter than happens when there is a shortage of current to the GPUs/CPU due to hitting the power limits of the computer NOT the audio/DPC crap that has been an issue.

 

guys lately when i play cod mw2 i get strange graphics and specifically white grass, or trees without leaves on specific stages. it there something wrong with the gpus -overclock (actually the cpu is only overclocked not the gpus) or the dx of the game? i didnt notice something like that on other games.

 

sounds like artifacting, that can be as a result of the GPU oc or the driver being used

some drivers sacrifice quality heavily in favor of performance

 

i never overclocked the gpus. In addition this doesnt always happen even for those stages i referred before. It is just that a few flickerings appear (something like that must happen on R2 i believe) and then this. and this usually occurs when i played for a short period before and not when i play for first time so the system is hot.

cod mw2 is not a kind of so much gpu demanding game even on full hd settings as i use it.

and the only thing i do is playing cod mw2 and not something else so heavy load of gpu driver??

 

Whats was that all about?...glad the mod deleted the post...hopefully the user get banned too.

 

I don't know either.

I hope 10.3 comes out soon. I'm excepting some performance increase and more stuff to come out with the real driver release.

 

was going to ask the same thing myself.

 

what did I miss?

 

Some post really not worth discussing. But you know what is worth discussing? This question:

So I checked HWInfo32 and on my cores it shows the speed oscillating between 2.4 and 2.7 for all 4 cores. Shouldn't this be only on 1 core when doing certain tasks? I'm confused.

 

Just check the turbo binning....does it go up by 1 or 2 bins for all 4 cores at turbo speed

 

I've also seen this with the i7-720qm I've used. I was rather confused since I thought it could only go to 1.73GHz when o/cing all the cores simultaneously.

 

Huh, what? Lol.

Here is a pic dude. Knock yourself out explaining it to me.

 

I was mostly speculating, I am not 100% on how the turbo bins work for these fancy new chips....I just have a bloomfield desktop 920 which gets a 1 bin boost (lame!) lol

 

Good thing my post is on this thread; only a matter of time before someone comes in with a perfectly good explanation for it.

*waiting*

 

I too, am very eager to know how exactly this works. I really hope hwinfo32 isn't wrong and we do essentially have 2.4-2.7ish quads lol. hwinfo32 is what I was watching the clocks with at the time as well.

 

Maybe this will help?

Well, CPUID also shows a speed of 2.7'ish.

 

That doesn't help. At least not me. I cannot see how it is running all cores at Turbo speed if I am not doing anything heavy. Also why would all 4 run at this speed? I thought only one went up this way.

Where is Mandrake when you need him?

alittle higher

Keep it up Don, you know what to catch

Can you get the clocks on those 4870s higher? They are limiting you

 

Hey guys,
i previously had a problem with my cpu where it would heat up, alot.I reapplied the thermal paste(the screws were also loose) and now my benchmarks are better I used prime95 and it went up to 91Celsius. im not sure if its normal.

Here is a benchmark with cpuz and gpuz along with my score, is it normal?

Hmm, I am hopefully getting my M17xR2 soon, but just looking at this makes me have a question.

Obviously you have an R1 with 4870's but you are pulling 8k in Vantage... didn't Moo pull 10k in vantage with a single 5870?

Something goofy there?

 

the 5870 is much stronger than a 4870

these scores from Don are a single 4870

 

Ok good deal thanks. His sig says CrossfireD, so I figured he was running two of em. Must have missed where he was running single.
