M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

Keep it up Crylo your doing very good .

 

Thank you sir, this P8600 is kinda lame though, we need someone with the same CPU but with dual 280's to run at the same clocks for a nice comparison.

 

SO I am boxing up my M17x to return the first unit tomorrow and thought I would run one last set of tests. The highest I could take my cards were 660/950/1650 and my cpu went happily up to 2.43.

3D Mark 06
1280x1024 = 13,041
http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=11606176&resultType=14
1920x1200 = 12,574
http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=11606731&resultType=14

3D Mark Vantage
Overall - 10,331
GPU - 10,576
CPU - 9,661

I will post new scores once I get my new unit in a few weeks and will start using screanshots then as well. Nice numbers Crylo, your scores with those 260s look great. Keep it up.

 

booooooooooooooooooooooooy, every one has benchmark fever...lmao!

 

Too general of a statement.

Great scores! The only thing I will add is with the 182.05 anything above 660/1050/1650 for me and my scores went down. So far the only thing I could run at 690/1065/1725 is the 182.46 drivers.

Now you know how I felt when I was posting scores about a month ago.

Not enough in my opinion.

 

i reached 15080 at 1920x1200 with benchmark 06. see my specs.

 

really only need a few, but the ones that are willing to try every far fetched notion possible to see what happens.

 

I'm surprised a P8400 @3.0 and heavily overclocked sli 260's barely get 14k in 3dmark06... but I guess I shouldn't be, that lowly 3MB cache hurts.

 

So not sure whats going on, i was playing everquest2 and my frame rate droped to like 5-10
I installed the beta drivers and it was a little better but not much. I ran 3dmark and got 12250

q9100's
2 of the gtx280
6 gigs of ram
600 raid 0 hard drive

any ideas?
I am in hybrid mode

 

so i just ran vantage and it was worse, it put me dead last compared to other systems and its horrible. Ok not to mention i just looked at the performance from Dell, what they sent in the system information that came with it.
AWMark Score- 831 AWMarks

Feature Test 6 - Perlin Noise- 11 FPS

the bf got almost the same system and his are in the 11000s

 

looks to me you are running in "Save Power" mode not "Boost Performance"

 

Except Alienwares burnin benchmark shows super low GPU score.
God I hope they know not to run benchmarks in power save mode

 

you never know sometimes

 

Here's my AW Burnin benchmark for comparison

T9550 and SLI 260's

AWMark Score- 8136 AWMarks
Graphics Score- 9887 Points
CPU Score- 5314 Points

 

So i just got off the phone with AW Issac (over a 2h30m call) and it seemed that my stealthmode somehow got corrupted. after a bunch of troubleshooting, we reinstalled some stuff and BAM it started working again. It was in fact stuck in steathmode

P.S. AW Issac and the assistogo or whatever the remote assist was called where just amazing!
GO DELL and AW

 

Guess you were right Kcissem, AW ran the bench and never even looked at it!

Grats Muppet for getting back in action.

 

Anything new to report here???

 

Beat my high 06 score today. By 1!

 

what was you single gpu score. I think it was 135?? am I right?

 

For 06? I don't remember if I ever did a single gpu run.

 

Nice, congratulations even if it is 1!

 

Did it with lower GPU clocks but a higher CPU freq. When tweaking for Vantage it's the opposite.

 

You was trying to break 12 on gpu score so... It's pretty obvious no?

 

Just showing how two different gpu tests act differently. Yes I know 3dmark works better with faster CPUs, don't need to start that conversation.

 

You need a QX9300 and voltage settings to break the magic W90 record (20k) .

We trust you mandrake!

 

The QX9300 should be here this week. The voltage settings continues to be locked out of NST and the BIOS.

 

what is the max voltage for the qx9300 right now?

 

it stuck at intel's recommended volts. 1.2v using cpu-z 1.42

 

I show 1.35 with the x9100.

 

i think the qx needs at least a 1.3 to go in the 3.3 and up range...speculation of course.

 

what verion of cpu-z or you using. 1.42 is the right one.

 

1.51

/10 char

 

that version read my qx9300 as 1.313

 

1.52 shows 1.238

 

1.42 is old enough that it's not on their site.

 

try 1.42 I a not near a computer so I can show you the screen shoot of them together.(1.42 vs 1.51)

try file hippo.

 

1.42 shows the same as 1.52, 1.238

 

oh ok. it seems that you are getting some more voltage then. I wonder if the bios flash did it?

later i'll throw up my quad.

 

What does cpu-z 1.52 show for mainboard on m17x?

 

I think you using the same chipset but in nst what are the choices it has in the mother board secrion.


why are you considering flashing?

 

Because of this hidden feature

 

Are you guys able to turn off powermizer on both GPU's with powermizer switch or just one?

 

never tried.

 

On my machine powermizer switch is able to turn off powermizer on one GPU but not the other, just wondering if you guys knew something about it that I don't.

 

powermiser switch = bad stuff

I don't see the difference in your two pics.

 

Clock?

1234

 

I fixed it, accidently uploaded shots of the same GPU. btw, I agree about bad stuff, the temperatures of my 9800m's are 10-15 celsius difference with powermizer off on one of them. Really don't see that much if any performance gain as powermizer upclocks as applications demand it.

 

Anybody has seen memory usage more than 1400MB usage in Crysis with DX9?
In DX10 is capped at 1GB though with my FX 3700M. I don't understand where the difference comes from.

 

If you check task manager, DX10 is still consuming as much memory.
