*OFFICIAL* M11x Benchmark Thread

with heavy overclocking which would be better, i5 or core 2 duo and by how much? im asking because im buying this laptop and i dont know which version to go with. ill be playing games such as just cause 2, hot pursuit, starcraft 2, mafia 2, MW2. if someone could reply that would be great thanks

 

the i5 will give you more performance but at the cost of battery life

the core 2 duo has better battery life still

 

i guess i should post my benchmarks here...

FYI:

Im on a pin modded (SLG PLL) R1. these benchmarks were done on the stock 5400RPM HDD/2GB set of RAM.

now wondering if id score much higher on my non bloated W7 install with nvidia physx disabled?

 

would there be a huge difference or is it just a couple fps?

 

Another thing is i will have money left over if i go with the core 2 duo which some i want to spend on a razer naga epic ( if u have any feedback thatd be great) and some for the m11x. What upgrades should i use on my m11x?

 

I would get the Core 2 Duo and go nuts on accessories

The gain in performance is great for benches....barely noticeable in real life. Loss in battery will be quite noticeable in real life. Also optimus is far from a perfect technology.....

 

Here's mine:

 

so i did another run, this time with nvidia physx disabled and it didnt help much but it did raise my score a tad.



do i have the "fastest" R1?

 

sorry for double post but i went and read the first few posts on this thread and saw i needed a GPU-Z shot as well for my score to count so i did a second run and got even higher!



how are you cool kids putting the link to the screen shot in your sigs? i tried a few different ways but the codes arent working for me.


DR650SE you need to PinMod man. with your GPU OC your going to get over 8100 for sure.

 

no love?

 

hey everyone i though id share with you my 3dmark06 result i just got with my gpu overclocked and the new 267 beta drivers.

7071

 

Wasn't there a benchmark thread for this?

Also,

Pinmodded R1s and R2s removes the CPU bottleneck.

 

havent finished my pin mod yet, was planning on doing that thursday. but yes there is but it seems to get off topic a lot.

 

that means nothing if you were getting fragments...

 

no idea what fragments are lol

 

Lol, try 3Dmark06 with my unsafe OC. I would love tips on how you got that much, so I can shove the results in my friends face. Only the beta drivers and the GPU of an improvement.

 

haha iv already tried it with an unstable oc, it wasnt pretty =p
but got my cpu at 1.6ghz and the 267 drivers and the overclock thats in my signature. also running the os with only about 27 processes running and about 350mb of ram usage at idle. and gamebooster premium

EDIT: also have my nvidia control panel heavily optimized.

 

UPDATE: heres what i just ran, with shaders highest i could possible get.

7087

 

I managed to track down my post. Here's my result.

Your 3DMark results should be interesting, why don't you upload some?

 

Top 3DMark06 for a standard M11xR1 is ~7129

I've clocked close to ~7000 on my M11xR1 quite often.

Good to see DavyGT showing off again.

I tried ReadyBoost, just in case it gives a slight edge. Used a class-10 SD card, but alas it did nothing as the SATA 7200RPM HDD and 4GB of RAM is just to high for the SD ReadyBoost to kick in. Just though I may be able to make use of my SD slot on the M11x.

So looks like the SSD is the smart answer to an easy performance increase.

Damn!!! IE9 has no spell check in the editor!!

 

very nice DavyGT, i hope to get 7,300 at 1.73ghz when i finish my pinmod tomarrow.

 

i guess ill ask again since now this thread is active again...

how are you guy linking text in your sig to pics of your screen shots? i tried a few different types of code but got noware.

oh and do i have the fastest score for a R1. just woundering...

 

Select the text in question, click the Globe with a chain link on it (hyperlink button) insert the URL of the picture. It has to be hosted somewhere

 

awesome! thankyou.

 

@DavyGT

how the heck did you get your texture fillrate so high???
my gpu is overclocked more then yours and your fillrate is a lot higher.

 

I used an old version of GPUZ. You shouldn't use fillrates to judge different cards however as it is flawed- it isn't affected by shader clockspeed.

Those were my 24/7 stable as a rock clocks.

 

oohhh ok, and i know i should use the fillrate to judge the cards power, i just wondered how it was so high lol.

 

M11x R2, i7 640UM, 8GB ADATA Supreme 1333 DDR3 (OC 166 stable in bios), Momentus XT 500GB, Throttlestop (30/30), MSI Afterburner (551 core, 1326 shader, 890 memory), gamebooster 2.3, NVIDIA 267.76

-------------3dMARK06---8862

http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/11/03/28/4w8.png

 

Total newb here. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Baseline settings:
OC'd to 160 w/Turbo on
ThrottleStop TPL 30/30
3dMark: 6939

When I changed the GPU settings to:
551 core/ 1322 Shaders/ 890 Memory, I got 6962.

Then I tried:
575/1405/850, I got 4406?!

Then:
550 core/ 1320/890 = 4392?!?

Am I missing something here?

 

i dont have a R2 but that sounds like thermal throttling.

are you sure TS is set up correctly?

 

7k isnt bad, but the reason your only getting in the 4 thousands is because your gpu is throttling because it cant handle that high of an overclock.

 

i see....how do i disable throttling? Im using MSI Afterburner

 

before you disable throttling... you should worry about your temps.

what are you running? idle/load?

 

Idle, GPU is around 48.
Under load, I haven't seen it go higher than 73
Thanks

 

i mean, the gpu will reset itself down to 2d clocks if the overclock is to high, you have to restart your machine, run furmark, and increase clocks in 5mhz increments, go all the way til the screen flickers or theres a crash, then restart, and go to the clocks where it crashes, and decrease it about 7 mhz from the crashing point. do this for all clocks, core clock, shader clock, and memory clock.

you should end up with something stable

 

i think a driver crash my be the issue. just reboot and you should be fine after you return your clocks to somthing stable.

 

I'm currently uploading a video. I OC'ed with EVGA to the max slider length. I ran Crysis sandbox2. I'll post link shortly.

 

MUST CHECK 335M OC'ED TO THE MAX!

 

nice video dude, did you have gpu-z open to monitor the current clocks to see if it actualy was that high?

also you have a ton of crap open! i bet if you turned all that stuff off things would run even better.

my current 3dmark06 score is 7650 btw.

 

Yeah I tried GPU-Z after, it rarely hit the high clocks and shaders. But yeap, it was that high . I agree with you on the load of crap open, I'm uninstalling A LOT of junk now!

 

hahah good =p also, you may be able to put your clocks that high, but the overclock might not be registering.

and to achieve more speed you should disable all the programs at start up you dont need, and disable any microsoft services you dont use =)

 

1st m11x 3dmark06 over 9k that I am aware of. This is after volt mod and setfsb at 180mhz. Oh yea I have an i5

 

damn, if thats an i5, that makes me wonder what the i7 can do

 

Top 3DMarks(marks) to tassadar898!! Well done.

Best not volt mod and setfsb an M11xR2 i7 before the M11xR3 is released.

Let's at least let the M11xR3 have it's day in the sun before it is eclipsed by it's sibling.

Having a 'standard' M11xR1 1.6Ghz I've never managed above 6965 3Dmarks in 3DMark06.

I sooooo need a vmod GPU BIOS for my R1 just to see my score exceed 7000.

The wait and expectation is worse than watching your first Guinness of the day being poured.

 

your bottlenecked by the cpu, i went up over 500 points in 3dm06 after my 1.73ghz pinmod.

 

yup. i gained about 1000pts after my pin mod.

 

What's that you are using for the GPU OC?
[EDIT tried eVGA but that limits mem clock speed ]

I am using MSI Afterburner and it tops out at 585/1405/1007. With my i7 at 164CPU, GPU585/1405/975, Throttlestop I am getting close to 9k (8992).

[EDIT] Broke 9k with 585/1405/980 and the latest Intel drivers (not sure if that makes a difference) with CPU still at 164 http://3dmark.com/3dm06/15616628

 

i am using eVGA, I find that increasing the memory clock doesnt help nearly as much as core/shader. congrats on topping 9k! push for 9.2k I know you can if you OC the CPU.

 

Silly question maybe....but are you guys running 06 on the M11x screen or a separate monitor to achieve the standard 1280x1024?

I would be MUCH more interested in seeing standard results so that I could actually compare the scores you all post to anything else in the world.....

 

the m11x does 1280x768 for standard benching
