m18x r1 780m SLI cpu limited?

Hi

I have recently done an upgrade to 780m sli for my m18x R1.

I did a couple of tests and I noticed that 3dmark 11score not change when i overclock both gpu's (11600).

unfortunately I have a 2760qm as cpu.

It may really CPU limited?

thanks for the support

 

Yes.. Get a 2920XM/2960XM if you can.. Look around, they can be had for cheap!

 

Cheap? I'll search it better couse i don't find it less to 350$ (€ in my case)

you have to keep looking. i happened to find one for 160, and when I used my ebay coupon, I got it for 110$. It runs 4.3ghz 4 cores with no extra flex. That is one hell of a chip!

 

But 2920 or 2960? 160 for 2960 would be wonderful! You mean 2920, right?

 

2920XM. there is no perceivable difference between 2920XM and 2960XM. Like I said, my 2920XM was a Dell system pull and it runs 4.3GHz no extra flex/voltage added.

 

Oh... I find only up 270. Too much, right?

I would wait for better deals. You still shouldn't be CPU limited a 2720QM.

 

Ok but why i'm very limited in game? in 3dmark 11 score not change when i overclock both gpu's.
11600 points are too poor score. i know that 14/15 k is a right score.

 

What? With my 3920XM at 4.2ghz 4 core and slight overclocks on the 780M I get like 13600 COMBINED. Look at the graphics score for now. Your CPU will limit you in benchmarks, but it is highly unlikely to be the case in games.

 

You say that? Ok. So, for example, on fallout4 i have "only" 45 to 70 fps in game (all set to max).
Ok, driver are very old (eurocom vga's) but why so poor performance?

If i'll OC cards , do you think that Graphics score should to change? maybe i must to change 3dmark11 graphics setting and raise settings for delete cpu limited and confirm OC inprovement?

My temps are pretty good (70°C cpu and 65°C gpu @Full load) and, as i can see on logitech lcd, all chipset works fine at full speed and load (70% for gpu but i think it's normal)

I expect much more with this 2 beast. Where is the problem??

thanks for patience.

 

1. Old Drivers.
2. System not fully optimized for best performance? (Other programs running in BG?)
3. Expectations too high.

 

You definitely need the minimum nvidia modded driver 359.06, updated intel chipset drivers, and close out of all unnecessary applications.

 

Agree with point 1, system is fully optimized but not in Nviidia CP (i hate full performance option couse bypass ingame settings) but i'm not agree on 3: 2x780m powerful not is 60fps ~ in fallout 4.
Maybe i'm cpu limted, maybe i have old drivers as you said, maybe some PC's Saint is against me ( ) but i expect at least 120fps @Max settings.

Wow, what are you talking about???
I can update my old drivers??? Tell me yes, please

Not going to happen.

Fallout 4 is frame rate capped by default on the PC version to 60 FPS for 60hz displays.

....... Duplicate post

 

Thanks! i hope this include eurocom models too!

Ah, ok. So, FO4 not is better game for test my vga's



@ALL

But in your opinions, with my currunt cpu is a good idea OC vga's?
As i understood, in game context OC should have impact.

 

Depends how the game is coded. ARK Survival Evolved runs like crap no matter what GPU you use.
