*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

that is weird. and a shame.

 

Anyways, the system is back up and running, first run after the reformatting was 14,818. Going for the 15k.

 

If you don't submit your scores, all your hardwork and skills are wasted.

 

Do i have to have an account on ORB. I found a way to save the files, so that is out of the way. I did not buy the serial. I got it from a friend.

 

if you friend has tied the serial to his acc on orb then you are SOL there

just buy your own SN....it is cheap and worth it if you are going to be benching alot

 

sweet, next stop 15K GPU.

 

Thats the next stop for sure, I want 5870's to try and catch up to me

 

There could be a thermal restriction that might make the 4870s better at benching when dealing with crossfire. We'll have to wait to find out.

 

Is the restriction on the 4870s or the 5870s? anyways that was the latest, other than 21255 on 06 which i don't see a point in posting. I'll see if i can get the cards at higher clocks tomorrow, need to sleep.

 

The system itself. The 5870s will make it hotter.

 

why would 21255 not be worth posting?! Getting ever closer to the top there as well haha

 

it was not that big of a difference seeing as it was 5%+ e-leet @ 27 multipliers + vcore @ 150mv+ GPU OC. and it was in the fridge. if i add any more multipliers 06 crashes. I'm starting to wonder what rengsey did to his system? Liquid nitrogen, maybe?
I will try tweaking the system tomorrow for both 06 and vantage

 

silly question, but have you raised the vcore?

 

TheCodeBreaker, can you try out a Vantage run with hwmonitor open. It would be interesting to see how high it gets when it's in the refrigerator.

Great job with the benching! +rep

 

in the fridge.

 

The Vcore is at it's maximum in the bios.

I'll do that soon. Just let me hit the magic number.

BTW, the last time i ran vantage last night i decided to max out the cpu, 5% bios+ 27 multipliers and it gave me something around 15K for the cpu.

 

Laptop is back to 15K on that same run, i had Hwinfo running. It might have given me some luck .

Almost 17K on the CPU also, nice.

If you can use the same settings but only use one card.

 

Will do Boss. Right now trying to go for 690 on gpu clock, maybe 15.1K.
I have to give the 5870's a challenge

UPDATE: single is P9064 LINK:- http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8753/singlex.png

 

Single went up to 9190. The cpu does not go above 16.9K LINK:- http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7264/single91.png

You might want to check out the clocks and tell me if you want me to go even further.

BTW disabling crossfire with those clocks gave me no flickering at all. I think that is a power issue right?

 

Looks like it. The CPU/GPU is drawing so much power that it gets the flickering to lack of power.

EDIT: Man, at what point do your display drivers fail?? I must have had a set of wussy 4870s. Couldn't get them over 650 for the life of me.

 

So how far do the 4870s OC? currently running single @ 710/1155. checking if its stable.
Using crossfire the maximum was at 680/1145. With a single card it was at 700/1145

 

Not sure, the ones I had we apparently poor overclockers

 

CodeBreaker, you need to signup for this site. HWbot Worldwide Overclocking League Then start Submitting some benchmarks since you have a great OCing system. Also might want to get other benching programs like 3DMark05. Check it out.

 

I'm checking it out right now. Checking how to signup now.
Edit: Registered, figuring out how to submit scores
Edit: when submitting, i don't know some stuff about the memory

 

I'd sign up, but at the moment I have nothing to be competative on. I doubt there is anything for the M11x on there. I havn't searched it much.

 

My little brother has an M11x, he was benching a while back, he got 7018 and then he stopped. I'll probably force him back into benching

 

Ahh yea I got him in the listings on the M11x Bench thread. I think he's at 3rd. Somone jumped into 2nd with a 7046 I think. Maybe you should give it a whirl.

 

That's what a 5870 does @stock.

 

I'm guessing that is good with the power supply limit and all. I couldn't get it to 710. Perhaps i will order some new thermal paste t apply to the GPU.
@DR650SE
I just submitted the score it says 544th global!? and the other one does not show. score pending.
I will give it a try soon. right after the m17x's scores are finished.

 

Nice, I wonder what the specs of the number 1 score are.

 

That is the top guy in 3DMARK Vantage, i think its doable with the 5870's

Dang thats a beast. CodeBreaker, can you push your cards more by flashing with one set of clocks, and then upping the clock further with another program like EVGA Precision?

 

That's why I never really liked hwbot because laptops and desktops are not separate. I think you can refine the search for just mobile cards to get a true reading. Scook and Johnksss know more about that site.

 

Yea, I was just thinking the same thing. Two totally differant ball games.

 

The most stable clocks for me was by flashing the cards. Using AMD GPU Tool, the max it gave me was 645/1110. IMO i think that Ati cards oc better by flashing and Nvidia oc better using software. But i will try that later, took my system out of the fridge, letting it rest for an hour or two. before i starting benching.

I am going to try and fiddle around with HWBOT to find a way to see only laptop scores.

 

They should have a lappy specific section for a more true reading of the laptop benching scene.imo

 

Thats why you use ORB.

 

Here is my new M17x-R2's 3DMark Vantage score:

3DMark Score: P13852
GPU Score: 13292
CPU Score: 15855



I haven't done a lot of tweaking yet, I've mainly been testing the system for stability and if everything is in order.

 

Nice Run Glzmo! Keep pushing it 10MHz at a time till you find the limit! it is usaully around 660/1130. Keep going, try running 06.

Rengsey, im about to purchase Vantage, do they ship the serial? or can i get it online right after purchasing?

 

it should be online.

Man if you post to HWBot there went 2 of my gold medals lol

you can only filter it to show the scores for an individual cpu or gpu, otherwise you will see global scores and can only filter by 1 gpu, 2 gpu, 3 gpu etc but will still mix desktop and laptop stuff. Me and John have been trying to get them to segregate off the laptop stuff since only 2 points for the top of a category really blows when the desktop top score is like 150 points haha

 

Got the key for vantage, i think i submitted it, where can i see all the laptop scores?

 

I'm a tad confused, if you have a 920xm and Crossfire 4870's your score should be like 17,500+ for 3dmark06 out of the box... with just an 820qm with Crossfire 4870's I'm getting 15,000+ reliably. Are you in Stealth mode possibly?

 

He ran Vantage. Not 3DMark06.

 

In validity after submitting it said:
"Please note that this result has been produced using display drivers which have not been validated or approved by Futuremark and will not be visible on default result search on the ORB or on the Hall of Fame. "
Does this mean i have to start benching again??

@DocSteel
why not bench your system, i don't i have seen an overclocked 4870 with the 820 processor in Vantage. I think the scores might be equal or better. You guys have more power given to the 4870s.

 

Dont worry about that. ORB never is up to date on drivers.

 

I am not going to bench Vantage for a long time, pretty much fed up with it. However 06 is what im going to run. Rengsey, what settings did you use? The program (not the OS) keeps on crashing if im on 28 multipliers with 5% and vcore is at 150Mv.

 

you can lower your gpu clocks for 06, will be more stable and give more juice for the cpu (which moves the score alot more)

 

I lowered them to 670/1140. The benchmark is running smooth on 2% oc +28 multipliers. will update when it finishes

 

You got something magical going on in those cards, so good luck!

lol
