*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmark Thread - Part 3

very good indeeded!
damn near beat my 5970
now if you have time..
8xAA
16xAF
extreme Tess

this is so i can get a fulll understanding

 

Yes, Sandforce 1500 and the Vertex 2 has the 1200 controller.

 

If you want me to just beat your score just say the word.

 

Here you go. BTW I'm beginning to think the stuttering we see in these benchmarks is because the vram is saturated. I haven't checked the memory usage yet to verify.

 

The score that matters (GPU score) was beat a long time ago anyway.

 

It all matters...

What was your GPU score?

 

update on my progress i have a05 on the system now but im having one hell of a time trying to get 10.5 the have disk method isnt even working this itme around like it did for the 920 system.

Edit- now catalyst install manager locks up and quits working on it lol. Im at stock dell drivers with it with a05 i would revert this one back aswell to make an even test but i dont want this problem to start affecting this system. Any ideas?

 

20k already ... sheesh ...

Good job mandrake

 

Try uninstalling the ATi driver and Catalyst Control Center entirely, clean with Driver Sweeper, reinstall the Dell Catalyst Control Center, and then install the ATi 10.5 driver over it.

I don't have nearly as much experience with ATi drivers as I do with Nvidia, so hopefully someone else can correct or verify this.

 

Had to get this out of the way...

 

Oh wow

10 char

 

Given the general high (in)competence of Americans, I shouldn't place faith in anything developed here as well... yet surprisingly many things work.

And btw Futuremark - the developers of 3DMark benchmarks - are from Finland. Maybe you should sometimes check the map of the outside world.

 

A cpu multiplier of 29! That's amazing. I think it's funny how no matter how high the cpu is overclock, the 3dmark06 cpu score stays around ~4500, while the two graphics components of it skyrocket.

 

A new #1!

Though not by as much as expected...Great job however.

 

That's because 3dmark06 is a cpu benchmark, and Mandrake has the same cpu as the current top score.

 

Ren was at the limit with his clocks. I'm still testing.

 

Mandrake, you should be able to get 4800-5000pts for CPU in 3Dmark06. That would improve your score by another 300-500
Great Job, BTW!

 

Very nice Mandrake, I'll have to mess with mine tonight. I need to sign up to imageshack so I can post my scores also

 

you can also use tinypic.com

is what I use

 

Thanks scook, I forgot I already had an account with imageshack, just had to do the remember password thing. I'll mess with benchies when people go to bed later

 

Haha I was referring to the Unigine devs. It's just my preference btw, I have had better experiences with game engines designed in the US by the likes of id/epic/valve et al. Like I said, no offense meant to anyone. There's a world outside the US???

 

Killer score there Sensie Mandrake...... The teacher once again surpass the student

I might have to get back in since my DPA is back to 3K and there is that 12 months thingy...lol...

 

really amazing reasult mandrake. Good job. Keep on.

 

overclocked to 3.9



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

 

I overclocked the cards to 850 and 1150 with the cpu to 3.9 and got 21210 but when I went to take a screenshot I got the bsod.

 

Monitor your temps.

 

Will do. When I get off work I'll use my cooler and see if that helps out any. When I oc to your same settings and try 06, 06 crashes in the middle of those firefly things in the wood. Did you turn off the wireless and all background programs when running it?

 

Mandrake
When are we going to see a new record on Vantage?.Bring it on

 

lol, thats awesome, love this forum.

 

General rule it turn off anything you don't use. That applies to benchmarking and everyday use. I used my Cryo with a portable AC blowing air into it at those clocks.

Today. Just need to wake up.

 

Lovely Jubbly

 

My personal office was moved so now I may have lost my benching setup I'll figure out something.

 

What was special about the original one?

 

I had a fridge that put the notebook, when on it's side, directly in front of the air conditioner. So it blew directly into the fans. Now I'll have to find an empty room. But it was nice to have my desktop right there so I can browse the internet while the benchmarks ran.

 

16K is around the corner

 

wtb tutorial on how to do that

 

Very ooh la la

 

70% cooling, 15% OS tweaks, 15% drivers.

 

Nice 1 well done

 

16K GPU

 

Wow, nice scores!

 

I'll have to jump on that.

I take it you're in a well circulated room with at least one extra fan blowing on the laptop?

 

Portable AC unit blowing into a Cryo cooler.

 

What kind of differences do you guys get for SLI vs non-SLI?

I've got a Q9000/SLI 260m system, and after over clocking the CPU and GPUs I get an 11.8k out of 3dmark06. I turned off SLI, and the score dipped down only a couple hundred points. I was hoping to improve this..

 

nice idea

 

Very impressive, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out that this is entirely impractical for daily use. : )

How about a run at normal temps, no extra cooling? I'd be curious to see how that goes. I'm at 870 and I'm seeing about 13400 GPU on an 820QM.

 

My everyday use is always stock.

 

Ok so I would like to run some benchmarks on my system which arrived yesterday. I have never done anything of the sort, if someone could maybe point me in the right direction?? Or is it as simple as downloading some of those programs up there and running them?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

 

I've been running 24/7 for several days at 870/1000 with no heat issues. I posted the benches for that, but it's a fair trade off to your run, with perfect stability.

That said, again, nice run.
