*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

I have never seen this before, but ran the benchmark to provide some point of reference. Don't know what it means either. Maybe it's explained on the program publisher's web site.

 

Figured I'd post this here since I just ran it for someone else

Completely stock run (OS is factory install from Dell and all related drivers are stock). No OC, either.

Power plan was set to High Performance.

 

Hi Inappropriate, I know it is, and I actually started downloading it a couple of days ago, but as soon as the download started, it gave me an estimated download time of 6.5 days. You know how my internet is. I will try to take my laptop to a place with normal internet soon, so I can run some benchmarks. I honestly couldn't give a furry animal's behind about it myself, but some people want to know how the 240 card holds up, so why not give them some idea?
Anything I should do to push the numbers? (With that I mean do things other people might be interested in me doing before running the benchmarks).

 

just a stock run would be fine harry, just good to have a i7 720 and 240m combo on the board for reference. glad to have you on the forum but man 6.5 days for a download, thats seriously slow, man your awesome for even trying.

 

Nvidia System Tools is bugging out on me again, it won't let me change my clocks -_-

Is there a guide on how to overclock with RivaTuner?

 

go to M15x throttling page, on first page should be info on how to use riva tuner.

 

Dude, Oc'ing with Rivatuner on the 260 is REALLY unstable. I couldn't even get a 8-10% increase before everything started going crazy. REALLY UNSTABLE. Use NST Trust me, as it allowed me to acheive 20%+ OC clocks.

I know what you mean though, NST sux hairy nuts because every now and then, it'll give you that damn message. Seems like how to solve it varies from person to person. For me, i always just had to unistall it (and rivatuner if it was installed), run CCleaner, then Reboot, and re-install and it would fix it. Some people have had to: Uninstall NST/RivaTuner-> Reboot -> Uninstall Video drivers-> Reboot ->install Video Drivers -> Reboot -> Install NST -> shut down and do a bios reset -> and then boot up again to have everythign solved.

Quite annoying... i know.. but lets just hope you can get away with just unistalling/rebooting/and installing NST again to fix it

 

Heh yeah I'm not even gonna bother with RivaTuner. My 5870 comes in tomorrow anyway, but I wanted to do some last benches with the 260M before I put it in.

 

Jstar is the man when it comes to oc problems. You blow my mind bro. Lol

 

Thanks Jstar, the method you use works for me. Was able to push out a nice benchmark before retiring the 260M

 

Scrap that above, this is my last bench with the 260M. Goin out with a bang
Clocks at 675/1100/1690 and max temp was 77

 

wow awesome score man. what drivers are you using?

 

Thanks for the reference. It's no surprise your machine beats mine, given the specs. Nice set up, by the way!

 

Luckily internet speeds aren't this slow everywhere!
When I have some time I'll drive somewhere with normal internet speeds, download it from futuremark, and run the benchmarks.

 

here are both of my benching scores with 197.16 drivers
3dmark06

3dmark vantage
http://s772.photobucket.com/albums/yy6/tuenkamen/?action=view&current=3dmarkvantage_driver19716.png

 

I was using 197.16. Those clocks were the highest I could get without the 2nd GPU test in vantage crashing.

 

One of the best score I managed to get.. CLassic OC @ 650/1100/1500
I'll see how far I can get before it crashes..

 

So its pretty much official now, the i7 620M gets better benchmark than the i7 720QM at same clock speed!
Well, until benchmarks start using 8 cores
EDIT:
Just hit 12808 on 3dmark06, not sure if I should try to overclock more. the temp is all good, but we never know!
So for now, that score will be my all-time best!

 

Finally something I know a lot about...cheating!!!!
This is easy bro. You only study the subject you're good/the best at. The other one you completely ignore. In fact, what you do with thew second exam is make a cheatsheet, a very elaborate one. Then you you take out the most important items of this cheatsheet and make another one of it. Then another cheatsheet with only the most important items in it, and so on. By the time the sheet is small enough to take it into class, you copied all important things enough times for it to be saved on your internal hard drive. More importantly, as you have only been copying and not purposely studying this matter, it does not interfere with the subject you have actually been studying for. Mind you, this won't give you an A+, but it has always given me the points needed to pass (all I have ever been interested in). Believe me, I have 2 masters and I am one of the laziest people on the face of this earth!

Good luck man, I hope you do great on your exams!

 

hehe, great tip, I'll remember it!
Also, tried to bench with 3dMark Vantage after my 12800 run on 3dmark06, but my gpu driver crashed.. Then I restarted and got about 2500 >.> Baw I dont know if its the bios or the driver acting, but it shucks

 

nice beat my oc of 650/1050/1500 by like 100 on 3dmark 06 lol what was the oc when u got that score

 

The 12800?
I'm always running at 650/1100/1500, when I try to go over it, my gpu crashes or something..
I had all my setting set to performances and I had NOTHING running in background


I'm sure the 260M can go further, I haven't even reach 65 degrees, even though I've ran 3dmark06 at least 5 times in a row!
If it wasnt of this bug..

 

thats good i mean the difference between the 720 and 620 is pretty slim if i were you i wouldn't worry yes i meant the 12800 score. i got 12748 when i oced

 

Ok, fellas! This run was stock with the 10.3 mobility driver and I just finished a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate. FWIW, I did not have any problems installing the official 10.3 drivers from ATi.

Monitoring temps with hwinfo32 and amdgpuct showed max temp of 81C.

Not too shabby - my previous score was with the 240M so I would say the $400 spent for the 5870 was WELL worth it, wouldn't you?

 

Wow, That 5870 makes a world of differance. Looks like you may have had more services running in the background. Your CPU didn't score as high as the previous run, but the GPU more then makes up for it. Can't wait to get my hands on a pair of those!

 

Physx might have more to do with the CPU score since the previous run was with the 240.

 

Ahh, yea makes sense

 

blew my vantage stock score out of the water lol

 

The g92 is no match for the juiper-based MR 5870!!!

MWHAHAHAH

 

ok here is my first bench with the 5870 stock.

 

Did anyone cotton on that you are mod yet?

 

This thread is kinda dead. No one likes to bench the M15x or what? lol

Anywho, here is a run I just did. Clocks were @ 750 / 1050.

Not too shabby Gonna try some more!

Oh, temps. Sensor 0 maxed @ 70C and sensor 1 which I assume is VRAM maxed @ 77C.

 

750 / 1100 but got some artifacts with the memory at those clocks.

Temp went up 1 degree on each, so 71 / 78.

 

Ok. ALMOST at 9k vantage

Drake - you got any tips to get this last 200 points? lol

Clocks were 800 / 1100, temps same as last.

 

Is anyone going to keep score?

Who has the highest scores for the M15x?

 

lol seems like you are talking to yourself. :-(


Sorry dont have the M15x to test for ya..

 

W00t!!!

Hit 9k+

 

sorry all the bencher bought M17x's,lol

 

Nice.. grats

 

I have an m15x on order. as soon as it arrives I will be swapping the gtx260m for the clevo w870cu 5870. The 5870 reaches 900/1100 in the clevo at about 85c so hoping I can reach something similar in the m15x.

Hoping I get mine as quick as you got yours

 

So whats your opinion about the Intel Core i7-620M ? So fat the fastest in a single core

 

sleey

Well, looks like I topped-out.

900 / 1100 didn't do me any better than 850 / 1100. Card needs more juice, me thinks

 

I think Tangtang broke the P10,000 barrier, but he was using a 920XM with the 5870. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=6157832&postcount=434

 

I think the 620 is a great proc. Fastest dual-core mobile CPU you can buy.

I think it is definitely the clear choice over the 720 due to the smaller die process, less power consumption, and less heat.

That is another discussion for a different place though

Was that with an M15x?

And my GPU score was higher

 

That's remarkable with a 620M. The 5870 turns the M15x into a firebreather -- finally.

 

Sleey I don't understand much jet about benchmark but in your picture says >>>your cpu 2660 MHZ Fastet 3231 MHZ

Both with 620 Why such difference ?

 

The one you see under "fastest" is not sleey0's system.

 

I knew you'd pop your head in here eventually, drake

 

You still have 400 more points to go.

Nice too see there aren't any throttling issues. The M15x is now a legitimate choice over the w860cu.
