M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

here's my record with my whitebook. [email protected] temps included. stocked gpu's.

Very nice! Now go back to your own thread lol JK thanks for the comparative Bench!

 

82/85C with stock GPUs in 3dmark... yikes lol

 

here's 5 mins of dmc4 stock gpu's

sorry for going off topic

 

Hey guys does the Qx9300 ES have a different Die setup than the OEM version?....


By mrbutterbiscuits, shot with Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT at 2009-07-02

 

should be the same. it's like my qx9300 es. and my t9400 oem(of course only 1 die)

 

Well this is also a Qx9300 ES... I was just curious... I want to make sure I have the same cooling properties (where the heatsink touches the die) and if not what kind of difference would I see... I'm beggining to wonder if I should have bought the OEM version for 600

 

i just can't get out of the 11.6 range in vantage though, still a good run

 

try different drivers what are you clocks to vantage before they decrease?

 

Scratch that... the ES version is identical to the OEM



Minus the fact mine does not actually say X9300 on it

 

Dude, there's not one difference besides the fine print. Don't even worry about it. Once your CPU is in and it's working, it will no longer matter if it's ES, QS, OEM etc. Your main concern should be how it overclocks, but even OEM's can suffer from instability at relatively unimpressive overclocks, like K's limited 3.06.

 

With temps like that, 4870's were out of the question. Why'd the rumor even propagate?

 

His proc is limited by VOLTAGE like any processor in M17x, nothing with the proc itself

 

So I take it that the chipset isn't as voltage friendly as in the M17 then?

 

Sad but this temp is better than i got with 9800xt, x850xt pe in desktops haha . Radeon's always run hot like hell lol.

 

It's about BIOS limiting voltage, nothing with the chipset too

 

the pm45 chipset was at it's limits with voltage.(whitebook/m17)

 

Cant you RMClock all the voltages to the IDA voltage (i know that in some cases its higher then highest multiplier voltage, like on my machine)

IDA = Intel Dynamic Acelleration (So when this kicks in by overclocking, it should shift some more voltage to be safe)

 

i couldn't check that option

The Cryo was on provantage a bit cheaper but since I first posted that they sold out. Mine should be in today.

Even if temps are within acceptable range you would expand the lifetime of your system with a cooler.

The quads all look like that. 2 dual cores smashed together, lol.

 

17k from Nvidia GPUs would be quite an accomplishment. Something to shoot for.

 

Hmm ok, well i know q9000 definately has IDA, what core do you have don?

I think if we can get past this, prehaps with a registry edit, then we may be in luck.

One good thing about rmclock, is that it can be tricked to do certain things like half multipliers

 

i don't have the whitebook anymore. i sold it. i just have massive pictures to compare it with. with anyone with a 3870 crossfire or a qx9300 and need some help. i now have the np9262 with the e8600 and i did wish rmclock had half mul.

 

It does have half mul, you just need to be able to use IDA

 

i would like that but i'm running to work so tonight i'll pm you or something so we can get started thanks.

 

Are you still running everything @3.06?

 

Duals run better then Quads in Vantage

 

in 3dmark06 not vantage right????

 

i said exactly what i meant

 

mmmmmm... i'll have to look it up or compare it when i get the q9650.

 

Is there a way to tell which profile is loaded with Nvidia System Tools?

 

There all synthetic benches so no biggy, curios as to why duals run better though, vantage is more recent?

 

I think even vantage was released before the introduction of quad core processors though.

 

Umm, no. 3dmark06 supports quad core, naturally Vantage does as well. Quads will always have the higher CPU score. Higher GPU score is because of just that: better GPU performance.

 

i didn't mean the CPU wouldn't score higher

 

You do know vantage is far too GPU bound for a higher clocked dual to make the slightest bit of difference, yes? It's worse than Crysis.

 

yes.........

 

So far in our testing with the M17x, the Quad is scoring higher in 3dMark06 and the Dual is scoring higher in Vantage (GPU only).

 

thats all i was saying

 

That's because you've got higher GPU clocks. Is your memory fried yet?


ding!

 

I would definitely admit the average scores are probably the same. I know your just kidding but I have not had any issues with heat yet. I do have some memory coming in that have heatsinks on them and a Cryo coming. I want to make sure I continue to have no problems with heat.

 

Heatsink RAM is cool, but I was talking about your VRAM. For one, the temperature on video memory can't be monitored. And two, 1100 mhz I believe is the maximum rated speed for the memory on the 280M, you can open it and check for yourself. Tread carefully.

 

I don't keep it there. I just ran it once at 1100. I have it right now at 1060 as I run more tests.

Edit: Where is the sensors for temp? Integrated with the die?

 

It's very likely your score would go down that high of frequency any way.

 

What clocks are you setting yours at?

Edit: Just saw it in your sig.

 

Do u mind doing crysis benchmark with those overclocked settings. I am curious to see what sort of fps you get compare to Mandrake, since your overall vantage score is higher than his.

 

its because he has a Quad

 

Moo, I didn't save any of my benchmarks...So I will have to rerun them all today/tonight. Sorry

 

I game at 630/1575/1000 currently. It's ideal to keep core/shader to a 2.5 ratio for stability. For benching in 3dmark, 650~/1650~/1025~

 

Didn't you just get done saying the dual cores were scoring better than the quads in Vantage? This implies the opposite.
