*OFFICIAL* Alienware M18x Benchmark Thread - Part 2

It did do some nice numbers while chilled i will say that. Your oem was for sure. giving it a run for it's money.

 

Hehe I think your ES was giving my OEM a run for its money. You had that thing squealing calling its momma. =D

Depot better not touch my chip lol I'll have to bust-a cap hahaha always wanted to say that I finally just shipped it out the day before yesterday.

I quote the ES "no... God no... Please not that John... Ahhhh. NO not the Vantage not again... Silence... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that burns is so f-Ing hot yet my head is f-Ing frozen for some reason is that?...more silence... Quiet breathing (a thought in its head... Is it over)... A scream of panic... Your going to do it again? Y.y.your going to raise my BSCLK .1? More screaming... No not the cold head again John I can't take this hot cold thing we got going on I feel like I'm in hell and Antartica fell on top of me. Not much more was heard from ES but I can say this to this day you can hear the most faint scream coming from Brother Shadens PC. ;-)

 

Too funny!

 

Hahahahaha !!!!

 

A new personal NVIDIA high score...

Vantage: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M SLI benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2760QM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: P27343 3DMarks

 

First page updated.

 

bah, my new vantage isn't up there

PS ... going to run some 3dmark11 today and do some CPUs at some point.

 

It is now.

 

Nice wprime John when I get mine back I plan to play with less tight of ram timings as I think that and other factors held me back some when I was benching I was just starting to learn timings. Nice score Mr.Fox that's another great one from team green. ;-) Shaden nice cards 875 core rocks.

 

Just did a quick little 3dmark11 run, don't have time to actually play and push clocks ... but I think this works for now.

Spoiler

 

WOW

Nice one Shaden,

Now that is what I'm talking BOUT!
Awesome score BRO! Amazing scenes.

Cheers.

 

Man Brother FOX you just keep doing wonders with your non Extreme CPU. Amazing scenes really. I just keep seeing updates every few days and your score just keeps on rising lol!
Keep it up. Great stuff.

Johnksss your benching academy is looking very HEALTHY
Great coaching.

Man if only I had a pair of 580Ms. I'll just have to wait it out for some 680Ms or something next year

Cheers.

 

Thanks, brother reborn! Appreciate the accolades, man... thanks to Shaden and residualvoltage, too. Brother John gave me several pointers that were very helpful in pushing things a little further. I think I might be close to running out of firehose at this point, but we'll see.

At the very least, I'll have a good starting point for a personal benchmark when I acquire the XM CPU that will replace the 2760QM. I'm seeing it hit it max on turbo multipliers more consistently than I ever have before and the temps are starting to reflect that. Not too hot, but a lot warmer than it ever was before. Maybe I'll have to see if scook's chest-freezer trick will help the humble QM run a little bit faster.

 

Great to hear it great job Mr. Fox. Shaden nice 3dmark11... Way to push that CPu and you I'm curious to know what you had it running at or even your physics subscore would suffice. I would go by CPUz ;-) but that don't tell you all. Nice job.

 

Thanks voltage ... Phys Sub Score of 10400.

link is here,

AMD Radeon HD 6970M / 6990M video card benchmark result - Genuine Intel(R) CPU 0 @ 2.40GHz,Alienware M18xR1 score: P8743 3DMarks

 

Wow that's very well, Kudos brother Shaden. My CPU subscores were very similar 10700~ was nearing the max I had got when benching last but that was almost 2 months ago so hadn't maxed the length of my firehose as Mr. Fox says. Way to push things seems to me an estimate would be you ran 4.5ghz - 4.633 perhaps somewhere there in... what's your max when tessellation is under defaults? if you haven't had a recent run yet that's okay.
Brother John or anyone knowledged on ac coolant tech will an AC window unit still function without venting the hot air out of the house but basically in the same room?

 

Running the ac that way will work fine i was doing it for a while .... cool her down !!!!

and thanks for the support .... doing it on the es chip ... i need me an oem !!!! poor though

 

Aye poor here too I am paying my system via Dell DPA. Do you have an original CPU? If so sell that ES and save got any other original parts sell them and add that. You know sticking to that ES can be good still, it is the fastest known 2920xm ES chips recorded to date.

 

mmmm Just set another personal best in Vantage pushing this thing ever further ... lol

Spoiler

 

Great job that's one nice 6990 pair! Great going Shaden.

 

hehe, you know what you R doing eh brother shaden? that is a great bench.

 

Congratulations, bro! That's just SICK man. Good job. +1

 

Now, start your engines and prepare to overtune your overclocking adventures...
people in NY on Tuesday you will enjoy 19° F. (-7° C.)
in Chicago they will reach on Monday 18° F. (-8° C.)...
Even in the good old warm Atlanta (sweet Georgia) they will have enough to overoverclock your machines: 21° F (-6° C.)
It's not Alaska but anyway...

Happy New Year 2 all!

 

Yea I am benching Tues, probably the last day on the es chip.... its going to be -11 in Niagara Canada.

 

Just bought an OEM ... yummy ... now if only it was instantly here

 

How much did ya pay and from where? I'm thinking about getting one.

 

Hay shaden, yes where did you got it from?

 

First paged updated.

 

Yes Michael was looking to we need an official cheapest price on oem and source.

 

Ebay, 680, bought his last one though .... he is parting out an m18x.

 

So you did grab that chip? He did have 2. Wonder who bought the other one.

 

Yea snagged it .... selling the es and goin big.... the chip has not been benched or anything yet .... so lets hope its good

 

You already know what time it is. Hit me up when it gets here.

 

Yur first on my call list

 

Cool.

So, did you finish off the cpu bench test's yet? So you have something to compare with later...

 

So is it a 2920xm OEM or 2960xm OEM? The other benchmarks are good to get used to like John said.

 

New 3DMark11 score here...

3DMark11: P7831

Spoiler

​

CPU max clocks and CPU/GPU temps still looking good.

Shaden - congrats on the new proc. Great way to ring in the New Year, with a new CPU.

 

Happy New Year gents!

 

Happy New Year Brother Drifter =D nice way to run that 2760QM. Nice job Mr. Fox your doing some top notch stuff here.

 

Thanks for the compliment, rv. Pretty basic settings, but working well. See attached.

You, John or Shaden have any idea what the MSR Lock is for? Should I leave it disabled? Haven't experimented with that yet. Also haven't taken time to Google it yet.

Happy New Year to everyone! May 2012 be a year filled with great things for you and your loved ones.

 

You want to leave MSR lock disabled its the lock that prevents changing watts in windows which is default to enabled so you have already set it properly. In windows throttle stop and Intel extreme tuning utility can adjust watt limits while that MSR lock is disabled cheers brother Fox.

 

Yes, it unlocks the watts. You see it greyed out when it's set to disabled. In your pic where it says....enable limit. When you flip that switch, it ungreys that stuff out.

 

Guys... check out Southways' Alienware M18x beast with working NVIDIA Quadro 3000M... I have asked that he run a 3DMark11 and Vantage bench and post in this thread. Should be interesting.

 

i had a 8560w with Quadro2000m, the result is not that great Mr.fox ! my friend had quadro3000m and its only scored 6.9 in WEI.

but if you asked for Specviewperf which is optimized for openGL and workstation type of machine. it can out perform any SLI gtx 580m

 

There's also the 5010M which is the fastest mobile quadro

 

Aiki - do the Quadro mobile cards have a port for an SLI cable? Is this a mod that fornax has done on the M18x before?

 

It sure looks like it...
NVIDIA Quadro Mobile Solutions

But looks like no direct support for sli though...

 

Amazing Bro, I just know your gonna break 8k with mark11 soon.....

 

NVIDIA® SLI® Technology for Quadro Professional Graphics Cards
The systems this page relates to are all desktop computers. Looks like the mobile GPU may not be SLI enabled. Just wonder if the mobile Quadro PCB GPU even has the port for the SLI cable. The image on the NVIDIA page is really small and hard to tell.

Spoiler

 

Yep, seen that, but was looking for the mobile version.
