M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

grab one of these then..im testing some 60 gigers out..then seem to work pretty dammn good.

Not gonna happen lol 256... for nearly 600 dollars! HA I play alot of games and have alot of large files.. I store music, games, Videos etc...Although I could do a single small SDD and then, slave my 500 gb 7,200 rpm to it I guess....

 

what i have been saying all along

 

Yea I know Moo... you also recommended and helped me find the Qx9300... you are usually right, I just don't know If I can justify it... although I may buy a good samsung SSD or OCZ

 

Yeah look at my sig. Although I probably store less than most here.

 

i ran 1 vertex and dual 320gb hard drives for storage in my np9262. it worked out great. buy one ssd and a 7200 rpm as a storage drive you will be good to go..

 

Except for the new 256gb summys tends to be slower than others good ssds

 

i ran quite a few games and dual os's on that 120gb drive.


bigx333
just go take one for a test spin. walk into a store an buy it. go try it out and get the full understanding of what we are trying to share with you...then take it back and waitout the pricing storm...best way to go...just dont break it while your using it...lol

 

I had 2 120gb vertex raid 0 in my desktop (i sold the desktop) lol

 

They still get good reviews and often compared to the Intel drives. You can only say a certain ssd is slower than another only if your being specific regarding the task.

 

man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what we're you thinking!! lol

them ssds roll with any thing you get. i would have given them 4 regular drives before i off my ssd's.

man, i tip my hat to you sir...your a better man than i.....




intels are fast readers, but slow writers...

 

After doing some OS tweaks seq reads didn't change much but seq writes hit 170.

 

Well thats pretty slower for me . Samsung's r reliable but for me doesn't worth because the low performance (except for PB22 which got a really good performance).

 

I was going to say, the SSD that comes with the M17x isn't on that list. I also find in looking at a lot of those reviews that the smaller SSD are not keeping up with their larger counterparts.

 

TBH i sold my SSD's for more than i payed (strange things happen in brazil ) so... .

At least i learned 2 things... raid 0 in ssd don't really worth (the real life performance increase isn't THAT good... The best in ssd's is access time ) and the second is... SSD WAS THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT lol.

 

mlc is faster the SLC

 

Nop... SLC is faster than MLC... But samsung's SLC sucks.

 

every SLC i have seen is slower ... humm been outta SSD market for a while now though i stopped looking so i would stop dreaming ....

 

Establishing new highs everyday.

 

Intel X25-E and Vertex EX... Both r SLC and both r the fastest SSD in market.

 

12k FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I just need something to push me over the edge. I keep playing with different settings hoping they make a difference.

 

Mandrake what is the overall record for laptops? Is the w90 higher? sorry just curious.

 

Yea that was way off topic lol... so how about them OC's!

 

I was hearing the W90s were in the 11.4K range so the M17x is scoring higher right now. I think each time I post it's a new record but I am not keeping up with what others are getting.

 

I think this is the only one on topic, lol.

 

Haha IM SORRY lol It just scares me... especially when Moo is angry

 

unfortunately i can't overclock my gpu's anymore, atleast with nvidia's system tools. It locks up upon boot, i even reinstalled windows from scratch again thinking maybe i screwed the os up because of trying all those drivers over and over but no go. Looks like i need to find another way to oc that works

 

you can't magically not be able to OC your GPU's....

have ya'll tried flashing your vbios and then overclocking with a higher voltage?

 

well there is something that is keeping me from overclocking using nvidia's system tools 6.03, i even tried 6.05 and did same thing, it will let me overclock but when it is saved it will lock up on me, mostly upon reboot when logging in to windows. not sure how to allieviate it. even if i just slightly overclock the card it locks up. I'm thinking it's a profile issue between the system tools and win7

 

try driver sweeper then install the dox drivers again

sounds like not every thing uninstalled

 

check what your rendering at...sometimes that can help make you stable. ..else just set them when your up and running.

185.20's... ..but keep hacking away...your almost there.

humm, when i ran raid it was 550 mb reads and 350 to 400 writes..and that wasn't fast enough huh?

 

Is more than enough thats the point .

I don't really noticed a big improvement in performance compared with 1 vertex... Basically i don't need 500mb sequential read, 1 vertex already made my experience with my computer 300% better and made my loading times in CSS much faster .

The strong point in SSD's for me is the access time not read/write speeds, my loading times (in games, programs, etc) was much lower, that much low that i don't noticed much improvement with 2 SSD's .

At least for me... SSD's are REALLY amazing and TBH 1 SSD looks to be enough for me

 

i hear ya bigx333. i have them in all my computers now..

 

Just Flash the Vga's with O'V and it will go nice and smoth lol

Mandrake congrats for the score.... like i sad before flash you Vga's with overvolting and try rise a bit of overcloking (on the Vga's since you cant go any higher on the cpu) and you will se the magic hapen... lool ... bguards and congrats m8

 

It is a windows 7 issue not anything to do with rendering, the only change from when i was going back and forth with mandrake on top scores was i decided to change from vista to win 7 guess i need to go back to vista for now. Apparently the nvidia system tools profiles are not compatible with win 7, if you boot up with or use one of these profiles the system locks up. It is not a case of too much oc as it does it whether it is a .01% oc or 20% oc.

my problem is not voltage it is win 7 as stated above, i'd rather give more voltage to my cpu then gpu at the moment so i can up the clocks on that more.

 

I did. My core freq is at 690.

 

what did you use to flash the gpu's just so i know when i try to do it.

 

I thought you already went back to Vista and were having issues with it. I guess this is good news.

 

He was asking me to raise it before I flashed. I haven't done it yet. Was trying to hit 12K without flashing.

 

I wasn't having issues with vista when i went back to it, i just like win 7 better so i wanted to try and make it work but it looks like we need to wait for more mature drivers and system tools before doing so, even had issues trying to use rivatuner, evga precision or the coolbit hacks to oc the GPU's. If you run with stock settings it is fine just when you try to oc the gpu is where the issues start and this was fine in vista so it has to be a win 7 issue. I even did a fresh format and install of win 7 last night real quick just to make sure i didn't screw anything up but no go. When i get home from work i will be putting vista back on and then start trying to catch back up to you.

 

ah i see, when i was doing the oc on the gpu i couldn't get past 670 on the core, so i might have to flash to get past that.

 

try 690/1725/1025 or 1050

tell me what you get.

 

I'll have to remember this when I get home.

 

Hey guys,

I just found this link in the M980nu forum. It's the driver download site for the dual 280 Clevo.

I'm not sure if the graphics drivers are the same as what you're using or not but thought I'd post anyway just in case you can use them.

 

i hope they are different versions than the dell ones... they shouldnt be too different... Clevo = 9400m + dual 280m sli = alienware... ummm i know you said 280 but will they work with the 260m's?

 

I really don't know. I just copied the link to the drivers and posted here so you guys can take a look and see.

 

hmmm Clauss? lol

 

What numbers do you get when you run off a single GPU?

 

Yeah, wheres Clauss when you need him
