*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

Sounds fun. Keep the reprobates over there in hand.

 

Anyone Remembered My Score? Benchmark Ati HD 5850

No Notebook Cooler

GPU OC: 880/1125

CPU OC: 3.4Ghz @ Multi 26x

Vantage: P10,682

GPU: 9614

CPU: 16,027




And here is 3Dmark06 (Don't know where the screen shot is)

3Dmark06: 14,843

m15x 3Dmark06 14,843

 

Holy crap?! How did you get such high scores with such a light oc?

 

i believe he's using i7 920
so he can get such a high score o_o

 

I got 9615 with a 900/1100 overclock. :S
I also got a 9729 with a 920/1100 overclock.

 

did you flashed your GPU? or just pure amd gpu clock tool

btw is changing the thermal paste necessary? if it is which one is the best?
my m15x is still fresh from the oven, just arrived less than a week

 

915 on GPU...
If he didn't flash his GPU, then, he would be the luckiest 5850 owner ever.

 

Hahaha or you can just call me Jesus. I walk on water too, you know.

In all seriousness, yes I flashed my GPU to 1.15v and 800/1200

 

Quick question guys, my i7-840QM is rated to run at 1.86GHz but in HWiNFO it shows my processor (all four cores) performing at around 2.9GHz. What's the deal? Turbo mode only kicks in when other cores are idle, right? Why would all four be performing so high?

 

It's a reporting anomaly which occurs when the power plan is set to High Performance. You see the same effect in CPU-Z and eLeet. The author of HWInfo32 is seeking a workaround, but isn't there yet.

 

Give ThrottleStop a try. It shows the average multiplier for each thread and follows the Intel recommended method for reporting these CPUs as listed in their November 2008 Intel Turbo White Paper. When your CPU is idle, ThrottleStop won't be showing you that all 8 threads are at full turbo because they are not. On an i7-840QM at idle, none of the cores or threads are.

 

Thanks for the quick responses guys! I was just curious.

 

Any reason my 3DMark06 score would be 8189? Is that normal.. I thought I should get over 10k easy

 

here is my first 5850 bench with vantage. over 11k yeahhhhhh!!!!!

 

11K?! :O

10char

 

Great score, Inap. King on the Mountain!

 

hahahha as long as mandrake is out around, lolz haven't seen him in awhile.
maybe i should do another run, still behind the best 5850 gpu score.

 

With the 920 clocking that hard (19K+), hard to get enough power to get 10K from the graphics system. That's mostly for the lower-powered processors that can't overclock. Need a Mandrake cooling system.

Edit: just noticed your GPU temps. How did you keep it that cool with 940/1100 clocks? Have you gotten yourself a portable a/c?

 

yeah using my companies ac unit,lolz super great temps.

here is newest bench:strange thing is i oc'ed my cpu higher but my cpu scored dropped. i think i can get it higher if i can change the affinity for vantage. i think 10k gpu for 5850 could be possible if only i know all of mandrake little tricks.

 

I'm just watching, and trying to learn. You using a 240W brick?

 

naw actually using the stock psu, the 240 brick does nothing,
hahahh i just noticed i beat my best 5870 vantage score.lolz

 

It might do something up where you're operating. Those 5850's hit a sweet spot. My 5850 is faster than the 5870 in my 8760 too.

 

yeah i was really surprised i could push it to 950 core, i still think there is still more room to oc, these 5850 are great. looks like time to sell off the 5870, hahahhaha

 

OMG 950 for core? Cool down dude...
I mean.. Really? Are you running a turbo jet engine as an AC right below your notebook or in a refrigirator or somethin like that?

Sorry for spelling I'm still in shock o.o

 

Yeah, this is what I meant when I said no difference between my 5870 and my 5850. I was really surprised that it was able to get to 950, this card is really a beast.

 

I'm still shocked about 950. You know the stock one is 625.. What are you doing replacing thermal paste every very second?
If you can get to 950 with 5850, what can you do with 5870, 1250+?? I don't know man, this is so strange..

 

no its not like that. i'm really surprised because 950 was the max i can get the 5870 stable enough to pass a bench. so the 5850 hitting the same clocks is really amazing.

 

I did some Resident Evil 5 benches with a medium OC of 620/950/1650. I did a DX10 and DX9 comparison and got only 4fps difference.

DX10:


DX9:

 

sucka got a really nice 5850

 

yup the card is looking good, probably put my 5870 up for sell tomorrow.

 

No.... Someone beat my 5850 score. Back to benching for me.

Lol wut. I get a lower score @ 950 than when I run it @ 920. Almost got a 970 and 960 score, but it crashed a little before New Calico ended. D:

Still got a higher combined score out of this though.

 

That's how u know you've reached the limit of your gpu ... I would stay at 920ish and play with the mem clocks now... As ur core is maxed out... Also, I'm assuming u flashed ur gpu alrdy right?

 

It's clear then that dell's ati's are far superior than the clevo's and msi's ... they're beasts... Remem how u cudnt believe how my 5870 cud reach 990? Well I guess that's why... The secret is in the Dell cards

 

LOL ... I sure hope so considering you have 5870's in xfire... Lolll.... If u didn't there would be a serious problem with ur system... I was referring to a SINGLE 5870m configuration ... But I'll go ahead and assume u knew that


EDIT: mods do something please! Sorry for the triple post looks like I'm having trouble on my iPhone here lol :s my bad guys... Don't stone me :O

 

Maybe the 5870 is some stupid marketing scheme and is just a factory OCed 5850 lol.

 

I'm with u on that one... After all, Dell did send me a 5870m instead of a 5850m to replace my 260... And until now I thought they just screwed up...but maybe, just maybe, they're really the same card with a different vbios ... Hmm sum1 should try flashing a Dell 5850m with the Dell 5870m vbios, and see if it improves the OC'ing capabilities.... Then we'd know for sure... So... Any volunteers?

 

hahha sorry bro, i would love some friendly competition though.

yeah tell me about, loving this card.

 

well, it is cheaper to just manufacture one card and change the software instead of manufacturing 2 cards.

 

Ok guys, I'm back. I know I've neglected the rankings in this thread for quite a while. I went on leave for over a month and came back and had a brand new shiny M17x and various CPUs waiting for me to bench. I've gotten all my extensive benching out of my system and the hardware I have with me.

I want to get back to tracking the scores for this thread. If anyone can link me to the top scores, or repost the top scores, I'm going to try and update the rankings. Thanks again and my appologies for the neglect. Now that the benching is done, til I get home , I have time to get back in the gym and track scores.

 

Here ya go buddy, here's mine.

i7 720qm/5870m

Vantage Score: P10775

Gpu Score: 10445
cpu score: 12204

 

Ran the FFXIV bench on low, got 3266. Didn't bother with high. Does this score seem reasonable given my specs?

Using 10.6 drivers, all at stock.

 

995, quit taunting me with this, hahahhaha

 

lol insane oc cant wait till i have the money to buy a 5850m from dell

 

Nice score, did you flash the GPU and then overclock it via software? Also what kinda voltage did you use on that? Assuming 1.15v? What are the default clocks on the GPU? I know the M17x default clocks are 700/1000 for the 5870 cards. Also what kinda cooling?

 

here is mine from yesterday 920/5850

 

Inap, when posting can you post a screen shot of GPU-Z next time? I'll include it this time

 

Killer score there inap !!!

9708 on 5850. 950/1000
Meh. I got 9729, but I didn't have the GPU-z.

http://i1037.photobucket.com/albums/a458/miahsoul/10291.png
GPU 9779. So close. ><

 

i did another bench yesterday but haven't had the chance to post it yet, that one didn't have gpu-z either, would that still be okay. also i've been posting like that for the longest time too.

miahsoul is probably gonna kill me once he see the bench i did yesterday,lol.

 

Yea, I included it because it still had the GPU-Z clocks, but as stated in the scoring post, please include GPU-Z as well as CPU-Z so that all CPU and GPU clocks can be verified.

@maihsoul I will include your scores, but from here on out have CPU-Z and GPU-Z included in the screenshots. I know I havn't updated in a while, but I'm trying to get scores current.

Thanks guys and btw, the scores are definately looking impressive!
