core are the ROP, TMU, everything but the shaders.
Shaders are... the shaders![]()

eh

Render Output and Texture Memory units. I didn't think that TMU was relevant in recent years. Then again I don't keep up with this stuff anymore.

My results...
M11xR2
Processor: i7 @154 MHz
GPU: 520/1080/900
TS: 30/60
Resolution : 1280x768
3DMark Score: 8043
SM 2.0 Score: 3471
SM 3.0 Score: 3478
CPU Score: 2266
I'm sure I could push the GPU a little higher, especially the shader clock, but I have read that some games are finicky about shader overclocking, so I'm just going to stick with my relatively conservative speeds. My CPU is unstable past 154 MHz. I have new OCZ memory on the way and will see if that allows me to push it any higher. If so, I will run another benchmark at that point. -

Not really sure how to overclock the gpu.Attached Files:

are these tests being ran at 1280x1024 on an external (the default) or 1366x768? I would like to see some results at 1280x1024 to compare to...(as I do not waste my time benching at the non default - and comparable - resolution)
-
-
cookinwitdiesel Retired Bencher
but that is only comparable to this notebook as the rest of the entire world uses 1280x1024......

New to all this OCing and benchmarking stuff -- can anyone recommend a good program for monitoring temps? Also, what are good CPU/GPU temps for an R2 at idle and full load?
I ran 3dmark06 with the R2 setup as it arrived from Dell and got 7,135. Spent an hour or two messing with stuff and seemed to max out at 8,495 then played BFBC2 for a couple hours and didn't have any problems. I'll probably avoid playing any more games with those OC settings until I get a cooler to put it on though... seems like it gets hot enough even at stock settings. -
For temps on m11x, I used CPUID HWMonitor: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Am I the only one here using SU 4100? - -"
Trying to find a SU4100 vantage score on 1366 reso..lol -
cookinwitdiesel Retired Bencher
Will be the same as the Su7300. The only difference is cache size.
-
New 265 drivers with fsb at 166! A new high score!
-
I just ran 3dmark06 from the link given in the benchmarking thread and my score came out to be around 4200. This seems very low compared to other scores. Any thoughts?? specs in my sig
-
Is your CPU or GPU OC'ed? Sometimes that can have adverse effects on benchmarking, it did for me.
-
Do you have your gpu set to full performance in the command center? That was my problem when I first got the m11x.
-
-
Dumb question, but your not on battery, and your power profiles are set to maximum as well, right?
-
I have been hearing a lot of people wondering about how Empire Total War will play. Before I got my M11x for Xmas, I too was wondering about this. I can now comfortably say that ETW runs fine for me maxed out. I haven't even overclocked, and I can play it maxed. Some FPS freaks might say there is a bit of lag, but coming from an acer playing on lowest setting possible, this is a happy day for me and the gamer community
. I'm running 4GB RAM, SU7300 @1.30GHz, no overclock yet.
Large land battles gets you around 15-30FPS on max setting, no AA.
Campaign is about a solid 15-18fps maxed with no AA.
I haven't tested sea battles yet, but I tested on them on high and it was absolutly phenomenal looking.
(These are rough estimates as I cannot remember the exact numbers from Fraps, but the game is definitely playable on max).
I will see how Darth Mod for ETW runs next...

Here is my 3DMark06 score:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I need to hit 8000+ because that's what every R2 gets.
EDIT: This was run with my stable, everyday clocks. -
NICE SCORE! does this mean you got the volt mod to work?
P.S. the link is dead but i see the score in your sig -
. I'll try it again sometime.
All I did was remove high CPU usage.
I fixed the link. -
3DMark06 Score: 7897 3DMarks
SM2.0 Score: 3648
HDR/SM3.0 Scrore: 3596
CPU Score: 1831
That'd be a good score for an M11xR2
BUT
We're talking about an M11xR1 SU7300 clocked at 2.07Ghz.
Who's the daddy now, you know it, you know it.
M11xR1 rules!!!!
DavyGT is the new Guru.
Go for GPU 580/1425/890
Sorry, I might have got a little bit excited.
BatBoy/DR650SE can we have this new M11xR1 score added to the top5 list -

Btw every game runs good on this notebook, but everytime I try to overclock the GPU all my games end freezing even with a slight overclock (475 Core Clock), the higher this number the faster it freezes.
I'm using 266.44 modded drivers right now, I tryed the new beta drivers from Nvidia but it doesn't fix it X.x -
At 890mhz on the memory, I lose performance as it's unstable. Really, these clocks are the limit.
-
Benchmark scores updated to recognize DavyGT's outstanding performance.
Nice score DavyGT! Congrats, You may have given me the incentive to pinmod my system. Do you by anychance have a picture of the pinmod now that you've completed it? I'd definately be interested in seeing that. I've read the directions and seen the diagrams, but a photo of the actual shot would be cool. Anyway nice job! Thats pretty awesome. You can definately tell how much the CPU affects the SM2.0 scores. Any idea on how the pinmod affects battery life?
Now that the CPU is kinda unlocked, have you tried throttlestop? I don't thinkt it will work, but it'd be pretty sweet if it did. -
Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to take decent photos. But it can be completed easily in 2 different ways: Connect TME pin to ground through 10k resistor or the cheap and dirty way, cutting the pin off altogether.
I doubt battery life will be affected much- it's still the same VID .9v. Maybe lose 30min? I haven't tested that aspect out at all. -
Ahh, ok. So simply just cutting the pin works too? Is there any differance between the two methods? Reason I ask is, why go through the trouble soldering in a resister if you don't need to?
-
thats what im sayin, if you ever needed to reverse the mod for any reason a small soldier blob could fix you up. the "clean" method sounds much more involving and would seem to leave more evidence of hackery.
is there any performance difference between the 2 methods? your basically just adding a ton of Resistance to the circuit right? -

With my m11x r2 i7 oc 166 + throtlestop + oc gpu
-
Nice score.
Amazing that a i7 can give approx 1600 3dMarks over an SU7300 with the same GPU.
Out of interest does 3Dmark11 have any use for us GT335M(DX10.1) and win7(DX11) users. Guess 3DMark06 will live long as so much has been compared using it. -
Curious- do you guys leave the card overclocked for gaming or is this just for setting new benchmarking highs?
-
550 - 1320 - 890 is prety stable i think, i will try on cod black opps
-
Gaming, I over-clock at a moderate rate of say 540/1296/840.
Nothing worse than having the GPU reset (or worse crash) and then being clocked after that at a much lower rate.
I'm guessing people are just chasing rainbows with these high clocks, but that said I have read of people complaining cause their game hangs or crashes and then you find they've a memory clock of 910 or something. -

3DMark11 only runs on DX11 hardware regardless of the OS (although windows 7 IS needed)
-
Thought it might be like IE 9.0 and uses whatever card, but requires Win7
No DX11 card. No work. Guess it's one less thing to clutter my Notebook up with.
3DMark11 Minimum requirements
3DMark 11 requires DirectX 11, a DirectX 11 compatible video card, and Windows Vista or Windows 7. -
cookinwitdiesel Retired Bencher
Just like you cannot run Vantage on a system that is not DX10 capable hardware......
-
As for the R2 getting higher points with the same GPU, the man reason for that is hyperthreading. With the CPU doing more work, the GPU score, especially SM2.0 will scale with the CPU. Thats why with a higher CPU and similiar GPUS, all else equal, the higher CPU, or CPU clocked system will put out a better score.
Things could get interesting with M11x R1s being pin moded now.I just gotta find some time.
-
-
^^^ Wow, you're Jake the peg with the extra 2.1Ghz on an SU7300
-
Just to clarify i got this 3dmark06 score at default resolution for m11x 1280 X 768 with setFSB at 174 FSB and the GPU overclock is shown.
edit: it was 1280 X 768* -
-
The score i wish i could get
my best so far look through the details if you need proof they are mine i will put something in the details box at your request. -
just a quick question for you R2 owners.
do any of you recall the ending score (in the bottom right corner) your get for Return to ProxyCon? (like at the very end before the test switches back to the desktop)
thanks. -
I've only ever seen the FPS, time and frames. Am I missing something here?
I only have an M11xR1 (SLG) -
no, your right, thats what i was talking about. (the total frames)
i was just wondering what to expect if i get the volt mod stable. right now im crashing after the first CPU test finishes but the score i get at the end of return to proxycon is much higher than before ( now @ 2.0ghz). was just sizing my self up to R2s
if i can get this stable i am thinking ill be anywhere between 8000-8600 3Dmark06 score. -
cookinwitdiesel Retired Bencher
he is just asking what you see in frames right before the test ends i think
-
Mine are 46-48fps right at the end of that first segement; CPU@166 & GPU at 540, 1340, 840. That gives me about 8300 3DMark06 stable
