I would like for some people to chime on any success stories of overclocking the m11x gpu r1 or r2. I always used Rivatuner on my desktop Nvidia GPU's, but it won't properly detect my card and give me any overclocking options. It actually may have detected my card, but didn't give me any overclocking options. I definately had Nvidia mode on. Is it possible and what software did you use. I have an M11xr1. Thanks!

Also for those who could overclock, what speeds did you reach for gpu/shaders/memory. Thanks

MSI Afterburner is the best flavor of Riva Tuner.........works fine on my R2. I'm on my desktop right now but I'll post my mild OC when I get back on my R2.

Memory is the bottleneck so that's what I concentrated on. Didn't want to push GPU too much because of heat. -
Also using EVGA Precision at 540/1300/835 works great for me.

Are any of you guys using an R1?
. I'm installing evga precision right now. I will report back with my findings. -

Using the Nvidia overclocking tool here. I'm not sure why everyone seems to use another program? The Nvidia one works great! The 335m is an overclocking beast!
Running 580/880/1450 here, and haven't hit a wall yet, just slowly creeping up a few mhz at a time. Runs cool (never seen anything above 54 in my testing), which is the same as stock temps. I have to assume that it's because a fan kicks on sooner and keeps it the same temp but that's just a guess.
I am confused about what driver I should be using. I have an R2 that came with the dell 257.30, but I had constant crashes in Sacred 2 so I decided to try another driver. I am using the 258.96 now and Sacred 2 hasn't crashed yet so it may have fixed that problem. However when I run 3dmark06 I get about half the score I got with the 257 (4400 vs 8000). I know it is just a benchmark, but my worry is that big of a descrepancy could mean that my games are running with much lower framerates.I never get temps above 54 so it's not overheating and I even tried stock clocks and its the same thing so it's definetly a driver thing.

My 3dmark06 score is 6840 when overclocking. I used EVGA Precision but it caused my NVidia driver to crash every now and then (irrespective of the OC settings). I switched to MSI Afterburner and havent had any issues with it yet. OH YEAH! Starcraft II on Ultra baby!

Thanks for the replies. EVGA precision worked great for me. I haven't checked for differences in my games yet. I played gta iv for a while overclocked at 550/1400/905 very stable. Since its so cpu bottlenecked, the OC didn't really do any justice their. I will check my improvements on Crysis Warhead soon though.

I just used EVGA Precision to overclock to 580/1480/820 (using Iris's settings) and everything seems fine. CPU is overclocked to 166.
In fact, Portal and Dragon Age seem to play better.
I like EVGA...nice and easy... but the "test" setting does not work because you have to have a EVGA card to use the feature.
I used HWinfo32 (can't seem to find a 64bit version) and the benchmarks on it were very high. -

@kizwan - 3dmark scores are R1 -> low 7000 range (7200 or close to that)
R2 -> 81xx (low 8000 range).
Nobody has ever scored into the 9000 range with a m11x.
Best Wishes, StevenX -
Isn't there a huge thread on benchmarks on this board?
In any event, i havn't pushed my r1 to the max but just a quickie "can mine use those settings' kind of deal, I got a rock solid 06 of 6990. I remember someone getting 7100'ish on an r1, BUT, here's the kicker..In *many* games, the R1 will beat the fps of the i5 R2's..most likely because the stock software doesn't handle the i5's scaling up and down very well. The R2 i7's can reportedly beat the r1's in *some* games by a few fps.
What I want to see is when those early buyers get out of warranty and hard mod the PLL to kill the TME. The Asus guys with the su7300 routinely get 1900mghz plus, I think we will do better. This is based solely on my own o'clocking experience with core2duo's. Assuming quality support components on the boards, i'm *fairly* confident we can hit 2k-2100 on a substantial number of units. At that speed and given current drivers, the r1's may very well challenge the r2's. Be forewarned though, not many are going to be able to mod the pll. Competence with a very small soldering iron, a steady hand and good eyesight will be
critical to success.

Sorry if I caused CPU & GPU overclocking spree among M11x owners.

I have an Samsung R590 with an GT 330m and i get 7445 points with 3dmark06 demo at 1280x720 , my stock clocks are 575 core 790 memory 1265 shader.
I heard the 335m got 20% higher score than the 330m , but it`s a shame when the manufacture cripples a good card, and you have to use software to get back to the normal clocks. -
Yeah, on my asus the memory clock is 790MHz. It supposed 1066MHz because it use DDR3, right? Is it true GT 335M core clock should be 550MHz? On notebookcheck website, GT 335M core clock is 450MHz.

GPU-Z says my 330m has 48 shaders not 42
Also GDDR3 can be clocked up to 1000MHz, depending and how well the memory chips are cooled , it`s a pity they do not have a temp sensor, though the core temp sensor is of limited use as i have seen graphic corruption with an core of only 65c on my old 9200m GS , but i clocked the memory to 950MHz fine.
-
Maybe they disable 6 of the shaders for the 330m in the Samsung R590. Well, I just played an hour of Crysis Warhead with memory at 948 and gpu/shaders at stock. So my memory doesn't seem to be my problem. I'm going to start boosting my gpu/shaders with my mem maxed at 948 and see what I reach.
-
The fact that the 335m is such an awesome overclocker actually makes this all worse! Since there was no appreciable heat increase and no crashing in my case I couldnt find a hard limit. Eventually I ended up with this half speed problem then could not get rid of it regardless of driver version or back to stock clocks.
I had a heck of a time choosing which driver to use on my fresh install because there are so many available and (to my knowledge) no comparison between them all. I am aware of the punkbuster issue with anything above the 189.xx but other than that I couldnt figure out which one was best. Sacred 2 was the reason I started changing drivers in the first place, it crashed on 257.30 and ran solid on 258.xx (but at half speed ). I decided on the 259.47. I'm giong to try playing tonight, wish me luck -
RTS: 600/1360/900.
FPS: 580/1480/900.
The good thing is that EVGA saves profiles so you can just click and auto OC it.
Also for anyone that has no idea about what you should be Ocing :
You can OC three things Core, Shader, and Memory.
Core & Memory: The Core makes out whats to be drawn, how it should be and etc on the screen, the Memory sends that information over to the shader Thus if you have a high core it'll make quick decisions and send it over to the memory. Ideal for rts, and most intensive games, where there are random explosions.
Shader: The shader judges how fast pixels can be shown from card to the screen(I might be wrong on this), ideal for fps games but generally all types of games.
Note: Ocing the memory clock is very important to whichever part you oc whether its the Core or Shader, if the memory can't handle the rate at which the Core sends information to the shader or vice versa, the usual Driver Crash will occur making the card sluggish until reboot.
edit: I have no idea why I just quoted :/. -

Nice OC lol, thats a setting I dream about although could never achieve. -

i5 560m huh, guess we know what to look for in the next revision eh?

The title is ambigous. -

I actually wouldn't be surprised if it were true and he's got an early edition. Things get released over on that side of the world alot sooner.

Screen IS 13xx/768
from that screenie.
If GPU is same, me = ticked
The OS is Vista or XP (more likely XP), as far as I can tell... -
MassiveOverkill Notebook Consultant
I'm betting XP as XP gets pretty high scores in 06 where Vantage is more multi-core/thread-friendly.

Either way, the OEM ID is one of Taiwan's big ODM/OEM boys
Could be intersting
Anyone having sucess with overclocking 335M GPU?
