*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

Very nice score but I'd honestly not tempt fate too much. You're bound to blow something up eventually and then no more 5870 for you.

 

wth. I keep on running vantage with my GPU @ 925/1100 and apparently it scores lower than my 900/1000 or whatever clock. I get 9400 while before i got 9600.
Plus my CPU only gets around 11400 when I know it can get 12200+ cause I've gotten it several times before.

 

lol crazy stuff ehh? i can't even believe it.... and the fact that dell gave me this BEAST for free... is mind boggling

 

*blows up 5850 to try to get a 5870*

 

Yup... thats what i was thinking... and im not very much of a benchmarker... i HATE doing them..takes so long and im impatient.... so this will be a one time thing... then never again...

and ill just keep like 900-950/1100 for gaming... or even my stock 850/110 should be good enough


and joker your good at this stuff... i put a mega fan blowing on it... temps never passed 65celcius... is heat the only way these things can fail?

 

I wouldn't complain with those scores personally. My best is a shade under 9k.

 

900 for gaming!?!? That's still pretty hefty. I wouldn't risk it and just leave it at stock 700-800. I usually run my 5850 @ 625 when I'm not benching.

 

Great scores, J-man. Gotta be at least a local record for a 720QM. And you got that 5870 FREE?

+Rep.

 

yeah can you believe dell gave him that card, geez. and the 720 score was high too. hahahah

 

I'm kinda sad that his 720 can match up to my 820. But then again, i payed only 290 bucks for it.

Jstar, what's your 32M wprime score? (8 threads)

P.S. Jstar. Your avatar pic creeps me out.

 

stock or oc'ed

 

Stock with throttlestop enabled.

 

hahaha man no fooling you mandrake.

 

Ima try my 32M wprime score now

and my avatar creeps you out? lol awesome

 

Do you really need throttlestop on the i7-820/720 if you aren't experiencing throttling?

And could you post the link to the throttlestop dl?

@ Above, don't really get it, but it reminds me of Saw how that piece of metal is stuck in that persons arm.

 

I'm into house music... its supposed to mean "house music runs through my veins" ... although a little disturbing i must admit.. just dont look at it for too long

 

Holy smokes Jstar! When did you become a benchmark pro!? These scores and crazy!
I should start working on my scores too (I mean, working on getting a 5870 you know?)
Good job guys!

 

I get it now. Somewhat less disturbing. XD

 

Lol thanks Soccer

Come to think of it i had a pretty good score with my gtx 260m... like 62xx on the gpu score in vantage...i just never posted it cuz no1 cared

lol and my wprime isnt working... never loading up.. not sure why... but ill post an older one i did yesterday for now..

Its no 920xm thats FOR SURE

Kinda miss my 820qm i traded away ... wonder what kinda clocks i could've gotten with that

 

I think the reason for my recent lower scores is throttling. When I downclock my GPU to stock clocks, I get "normal" CPU scores again. (12k + scores)

@ Above. Now those are the scores I expected. Nice work man. Beats my stock 820 by a good 1.3 seconds.

 

well my recent cpu clocks are a little higher.. i think i'd be able to get into the high 13.xx seconds if i can manage to get wprime to load up.. but its past my bedtime already... we shall see tomorow .. gdnight everyone

 

the 920xm is friggin awesome bro... OC that baby to 4ghz

 

WTH!!?!?!?!?!?!!

My GPU easily gets 30 FPS average on the Jane test (and still does), but on the Calico test it got like 27-28 before, but now it only gets 23. Why is this happening?

Plus, I saw 4100-4300 total frames a couple days ago, but now I can get 3800 max in the Calico test.

 

First thing i'd do is a Bios reset. and see if it returns to normal. but also, might i ask :

1. what vbios you using?
2. what clocks you running?
3. what drivers you using?


I have a question also... righ tnow i have 100/150 for 2d clocks, and 850/1100 for 3d clocks.... is there a way to set up mid-range clocks for desktop use that switch automatically when playing videos n such?

 

I was previously using a custom one, but apparently it caused throttling so I reverted back to the stock bios. The throttling seems to be fixed, but I have yet to try another benchmark.

 

It is highly recommended you ALWAYS save the original vbios from the card, and modify a copy of that vbios to your own liking, rather than downloading someone elses "custom vbios" off the net. the idea behind it is simple. You would always start with a clean slate before trying to sculpt it into something.

I hope switched back sorted out your issue (whenever you do bench again...)

 

No, I meant custom as in my own customized one.
I think it's cause I pushed the voltage limits to the max.
Just ran it again, got P10043. Both CPU and GPU could definitely of gotten higher. Just need that portable A/C at home and I probably could crank out P10250 easy.

 

try running throttle stop, could bring up the cpu scores alittle bit more.

 

how unlucky. 1 second before the end of New Calico, it crashes. It was gonna be the best score I ever got, I got like 4250 frames in the end, which bested my previous record of 4200. 910/1175 overclock.

 

try leavign the mem at 1100, and raising the core... if it allows it.

 

Been trying for 30 minutes. Even 1000 crashes now. I'm not even gonna bother with trying to raise the GPU score now. 9.6-9.7k is probably the best I can ask for with the 5850. Now I'm just gonna try to increase the CPU score.

Throttlestop increase the CPU score by 100 and I got 10066.

 

I'm assuming that's for 3dMark Vantage?

 

Yep. Your assumption was correct.

 

Woah didn't realize you were talking about your 5850! i'd be more than happy with those clocks and that score with that card! Good stuff!

 

Are you going to bench tonight??

 

Seems to be the highest I can push it tonight....

 

Nice score Mandrake.

 

Geez Mandrake make it sound like it was a bad score or something. Man everyone is breaking 10k. Amazing score, I need to start benching again.

 

I just tried again and hit 10257...I want to pass J's score so he's motivated to keep benching.

 

Yeah thats insane ...

 

Well you got me motivated for sure,lol

 

I've been jealous of J's luckiness, but if you think about it, Dell might have F***** someone elses order up and gave them a 5850 instead of a 5870. Must suck to be the person on the other side of this, if there is one. :/

 

All that person has to do is complain.

 

Lol. Good point. They might even get added gifts as an apology from Dell.

Win win.

 

Sorry for the Delay J, but yeah i live in FL so it's hot as Satan's *** here.

Hmm Did anyone else work with raising their voltage to get higher clocks? My temps are alright but i can't get higher than 850 core without it crashing. Should i switch my drivers to something other than 10.3?

I benched a few times till i got something stable to finish a Vantage run but it's not comparable enough to even post up here lol.

 

Lol. That's how I got a 925/1175 overclock to run. 1.15 volts. (9400s in vantage)
Though the score was was lower than my 900/1100 @ 1.1 volts cause it throttled I think. (9600s in vantage)

I think 1.1 volts allows for the best balance of max mhz and performance per mhz.

 

Nice score for real! I'm feeling the pressure lol, everyone's after me now I'm pretty smashed tonight, so i think i'll bench in the morning lol... see if i can beat my vantage gpu score bright and early

Luck? i call it hard work... took alot of complaining ( ok ok i got REAL lucky too lol... my 9cell n new cpu fan came in today...just awesomeness )

how does that old saying go? Only the brakes that squeak get the oil?

try 10.5 ... and my benches were done at 1.15v

1.15v is my gspot... all this talk is ACTUALLY making me want to bench .. maybe even tonight

 

I need to try using 10.4/10.5 sometime cause 1.15v really messes up my scores. :/
I'm using 10.6 ATM.

Anyone else care to provide HWinfo benchmark numbers for the CPU? I wanna know how mine stacks up in comparison.

 

Interesting- Vantage is crashing on me and I only have my card oc'd to 850/1075...

 

Are you over-volting at all?
