*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

Much better and just fine for your setup.

 

Thank you Revelator, Nice pic as well!

 

Nice score, those 5850s can really scream. So how are you liking the system compared to your 8760? Are you planning on keeping both?

 

Hey, Joker. It's an embarrassment of laptop riches for the moment. I'm probably going to keep both and call one of them an email/home office computer for my wife. The M15x is very impressive and great fun to use, but I am addicted to the 17" screen, the extreme processor and the dual drives of the 8760. I can just do more with the Sager. On the other hand, I may throw a 920/940XM and a SSD in the M15x and change the calculus completely. You've had pretty good success with ES extremes haven't you?

 

Your wife's lucky if she gets to have an M15x as an email/office computer. This 940xm is my first ES and it's been stellar. It works exactly like an OEM/retail chip, no complaints here.

 

Upped my 3dMark Vantage score just a tad-

 

nice broke 9k gpu

 

I'll never see 10k- I don't plan on flashing the gpu/cpu.

 

Anyone Broke my 5850 GPU in Vantage and 3DmarK06 yet?

 

What score you get? I can get 9.6k, but I'm sure with a nice portable AC running under my M15x and the new 10.7 drivers, I can get over 10k.

 

Hey guys this is my first score that i'm sending to this thread
I have no idea wether this score is good or bad =/
3Dmarks06 = 13115

hope this helps

 

Nice score len888. It falls in line with my best: 13,304

 

wow
you are higher than me bro.. haha
your clock is higher than me though
have you tried to use 10.7 driver?

 

nice score len888, also very nice theme your using.

 

thanks inap
but still.. jealous on your 3dmark06 haha
5870 is a beast!!

 

What about mine ? Wattos- 17060

Everyone keeps forgetting my awesome score

 

hahahaha our scores don't matter much ever since mandrake got a M15x,lolz

 

hahaha..
by the way i just got a new score
just beat mb67's score haha

13454 3Dmark06
max temp was 62c

 

wow another killer score, congrats. i should get a 5850 in a few days so i see what i can do with it. also maybe a good idea to resize your pics, its causing scrolling on the page.

 

No, at least I don't forget your killer score Wattos. You have the 5870 and the 920 processor and I'll never see those kinds of scores.

By the way do you (or anybody for that matter) know how to get the iDirect3DDevice9 Error from happening? I can't run any benches now due to that error. :|

 

seems to be a direct x problem, try download the latest direct x to see if it helps.

 

No, it didn't help. I'm wondering if it might be due to my having it hooked up to my HDTV via DP/HDMI cable? I'll check this out in a little bit...

 

Here is my latest benchmark i have a replacement refurb with i7 740qm, 8gb ram, ati 5850 flashed to 5870.


OC GPU to 905/1075

ATI 10.7
Performance setting
power play disabled

3dmarks scores: 13805

 

sorry about that inap..
by the way faiz how did you disable power play?
whats that for? =/

 

Power Play is supposed to help maximize performance but for benchmarking it actually hinders the results. To disable go into the ATI Catalyst Control Center and find the Power Play tab and deselect the check box, and click apply.

 

cool thanks
but i believe the gpu temp will increase higher than powerplay enabled?

 

Just keep an eye on your temps but you should be fine with the temp as long as you have adequate ventilation underneath. i use my 9 cell battery to help lift it up and have not ordered a laptop cooler yet. I would like to replace the thermal paste and pads and slap a laptop cooler on the sucker and start benching to the MAX and see how the temps are on the CPU & GPU

 

My benchmarking days are just about over as I don't want to flash the gpu to run at 5870's speeds. Plus, I'm not able to OC the processor so I've pretty much capped out at my current scores.

 

Nobody is forgetting your scores, and awesome they are. You pretty much closed out everyone except Mandrake and Inap from even trying. Without a 920 and T-stop, there's no point. And even then, unlikely.

 

hey rev have you thought about switching your gpu's. see what your clevo card can do in the M15x and the 5850 in your clevo.

 

Yep, but thinking harder about swapping the 920 out of the Sager and into the M15x. The 5850 kills the 5870 in my Sager, which tops out around 850/1100 at best. A weak sister. I'm just not motivated enough for the undertaking at the moment. But with that 5850, the Sager would have a legitimate shot at the 17K range in '06, but I'm not sure the 8760 would recognize the Dell 5850.

 

ok i understand just wanted to see if somehow the card would perform better in one setup vs another one.

 

I'm surprised no one beat my Vantage gpu score yet...

 

You set a high bar.

 

haven't had the chance to bench lately, but i doubt i can touch that gpu score, geez 990 on the core.

 

yea honestly i don't think i'd ever try benching again... too many ppl frying their cards... and i like my 5870m, thanks

 

hey, just received my M15x couple days ago hd 5850 installed, just trying to show my benchs
is it good enough?

its low if compared to others i think which are 9k+
have i done something wrong?

 

Not bad.

How did you get your clocks to 800/1100?

 

CPU scores look fine try to bump up GPU core to like 850-900 start with 850-875 and monitor temps and see if you can finish the test. You gpu should be around 9000-9500.

I use on my setup 905/1075

 

About to benchmark tonight Will post my results

Edit: Sooooo close

 

First increase the voltage (to 1.0v) using the dropbox and click Set Voltage. Then increase the clocks to 800/1100, and it should take. Without first increasing the voltage, a high overclock will crash most of the time. 800/1000 is toward the high end for 1.0v, but you may be fine. (Mine does OK.) Individual cards seem to vary in the amount of voltage required for a given clock level. You just have to experiment.

 

Very nice.

 

Thanks I lost my 3DMark Vantage key when I reinstalled it because it was crashing and so I could only run it once tonight haha. Oh well. How did you break the 10k barrier so easily? Your memory was clocked way lower than mine and my score is worse...

EDIT: Got the key

 

You have to be kidding! I'm so freaking close.

Do i have a record?

For GPU of course.

 

hahaha 3 more points dude!
try to give a kiss on your laptop
she'll get high! haha
by the way how to get 3dmark vantage?
should i purchase em? =/

 

Guess who just joined the 10k club!

 

I only get this score
I dont really want to increase my clock
scared to brick my card lol

Nothing wrong with that score. Enjoy the power.

 

I did.. just saying

Life's goooood. As you can see in the M17x thread.. I'm one of the only of 2 people to break the 19k vantage barrier.

Upgrading does have its perks.. even if the bank has to be broken every now and then
