My SSDs in raid0 have no trim waiting on the release of the next Intel RST
-
-
Thank you for chiming in. What are you using for garbage collection in the meanwhile? I know some folks use CCleaner to wipe the free space. I have actually done that with my TRIM-enabled single SSD.
-
Not showing in rst. What other program might show it?
-
-
Also crystal disk won't post info with RAID0 SSDs for me anyway
-
ah, no trim on raid so far. I just checked

1. Using the Start Menu Search Box, Search CMD;
2. Right click the Cmd Program and select Run as Administrator;
3. In the command line type fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify (without quotes)
If DisableDeleteNotify=0 TRIM is Enabled.
If DisableDeleteNotify=1 TRIM is Disabled. -
Thanks, Stevie. I totally forgot about that command.
-
So if in Raid and new Intel Rst is released... you need to run that command? Trim isnt enabled automatically or it because in raid its not set on automatically
-
The command is only to check the status. TRIM should be enabled automatically, but it will not be supported in SSD RAID0 until Intel releases the new RST drivers.
-
Thanks Mr.Fox i see now its just to check. Thanks again
-
Here is more info from the opening post of the http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...d0-questions-troubleshooting-discussions.html thread for anyone that hasn't already found it.
-
Intel RST 11.5 is suppose to bring trim support to raid also btw. When will that be released, good question.
-
We are all anxiously waiting for Intel to release it. That's one reason why I am procrastinating about buying a second matching M4, optical drive caddy for my data drive and eSATA enclosure for my BluRay burner. When the new RST with RAID support comes out, I won't have a good excuse for waiting any more, LOL.
-
I've got the two mushkins in raid 0 using garbage collection and they've been working great. I've checked the performance after a few months of usage and they're still hitting around 1GB/s which is what they're suppose to hit. I had an optical bay caddy from a previous laptop, so I put the 500GB drive it came with for the data drive. I had the external enclosure also, so I put the stock dvd in there but I'll probably grab a blu-ray shortly.

3Dmark06 scores seem low..
m18x
cpu= 2720 i7
ram= 16 gigs 1600
hard drive 320 gig 7200 rpm
gpus= dual 460s in sli
ok my question is this.. on the free version what should my base scores be around?
is 13000 to 14000 normal? i thought it would have score higher..
also in the free version is says its using only 1 gpu? it doesnt work in sli?
well thanks -
Here is my results with the free version as well:
3DMark Score 22948
SM2.0 Score 8579
HDR/SM3.0 Score 11534
CPU Score 6142
GT1 - Return To Proxycon 73.33 FPS
GT2 - Firefly Forest 69.65 FPS
CPU1 - Red Valley 2.07 FPS
CPU2 - Red Valley 2.92 FPS
HDR1 - Canyon Flight 141.55 FPS
HDR2 - Deep Freeze 89.13 FPS
Conclusion was my system is comparable to like systems. -

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is that normal that my Video Card #1 is used a like 40% and the #2 at 60-70% in a game? They aren't supposed to be on same % load?
-
Mr. Fox said: ↑Can you please post a screen shot so we can see what you are looking at. Would like to see the score as well as what you are seeing that says it does not work in SLI. (I don't have the free version, so I am curious what you are seeing.) If you can, post a screen shot similar to this:

here is what i scored
13891 3DMarks
is normal for my set up? I have sli 460s.. it shows 1 in the mark06..dont know if this is normal or not..

Mr. Fox said: ↑No, neither CrossFire nor SLI distribute load equally between the GPUs all of the time. What you are describing is normal.
Looks like you need to turn on SLI in the NVIDIA Control Panel. The web page from your benchmark run states that SLI is turned off. The score looks like a single GPU score. It is normal for the software GUI to not mention you have 2 GPUs. As you can see, my paid-for version of 3DMark06 only mentions one GPU. If SLI is enabled in NVIDIA Control Panel, it will also be confirmed by GPU-Z. See the attachments.Click to expand... -
its the way the cards scale drop some backround tasks and overclock your cards and SLI will score higher (so will single card)... But for most part 1 card will always have a greater score compared to SLI score cut in half and compared... Single card is more fully utilized than dual card but no doubt dual cards still get close to double performance over single card... close.

Can anyone tell me why my results suck so much?

Ok, I got my 6990s from Dell.. I dl the newest drivers..and ccc
i got my 2960xm installed with the proper heat sink..
and I did a free install.. followed all the steps out lined buy Mr.Fox
also my cpu is over clocked..
and I ran the 3dmark06 and my scores still suck..
AMD Radeon HD 6970M / 6990M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: 23811 3DMarks
why is it that 460s in sli scored this when the cpu was over clocked.. also my 460s scored higher in the WIE 7.6 vs 6990s 7.5 really?
I see in the begining of this thread people scoring alot higher with 6990s.
so what do i need to do to get my scores higher?
Can some walk me threw the settings i would need to score higher than say 25000? -
My first test with 3dmark 06 think it came out ok.

and for testing purpose can the 6990s be over clocked? -
You need to set the primary plane to 1000. primary plane is located in the power/advanced cpu control in the bios. And that's it.
And you can use Trixx to over clock the gpu or even CCC can over clock them for you. -

This thread is growing fast and there is a lot of technical information already posted, so there are things to be learned from reading what is already posted.
Click on the link in the right side of my signature that will take you to my cumulative scores. Once there, click on the links to the Futuremark web pages for my 3DMark11, Vantage and 3DMark06 scores and you will see the settings I used outlined in the description field. You're going to need some creative cooling techniques to hit scores that high. -

and for 45x whats the a stable setting for core clock? the mhz steps right now i got mine set to..100.25 is that safe? should it be higher? lower?
also this power plane..if i set it to a thousand.. is there any risks? am i bypassing the normal shut down options?
and is the potential there to smoke my cpu? id like to go big.. but im to to to push it to the point of ruining the cpu.. I couldnt afford another 2960xm right now or the near future lol/. -

That said, OC always has its risks (and rewards) so I suggest you take baby steps when OC.
Also no one can tell you what's stable and whats not, being that every single CPU is completely different, so they behave different, that's what's so awesome about OC, while the formula is pretty much the same, the results are sometimes widely different. -

ok in my version of the newest unlocked bios.. where do i find the power plane at? I didnt see any option for it.. not in the first advance menu or the second advance menu.. -
