M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

i often find it funny when i see people boasting 15kk on the m17 with their x9100's i did it with a t9400

 

Thanks a lot. 12,000 isn't bad at all.

 

here is crysis maxed out on my M980Nu 1920x1080 with 8 xaa

i couldnt be bothered to sift tho 200 odd pages so i dont know how these stack with the m17x

It's pretty much the same thing. The ATI cards do better with this test. I think someone got an average of 34 with everything maxed.

 

Moo, Mandrake has much higher benchmark scores. Can you update your thread to reflect those new M17X score by Mandrake?

Mandrake:

Vantage GPU: 12002
3DMark06: 17531

 

I just scored 4511 on the CPU...happy?

 

Wish i would have saved my 4888 score on the M17 i havent been able to hit it since . I think don may have an email with one close to that though as i was showing him my scores.

 

i'll check it out.

 

i found one that was close .

 

Lol, i just was about to post it but i refreshed and you got it. lol.

 

ok mandrake, happy

of course...now you have to get 18k haha

 

scook9, quad beat your cpu score!!!

 

you seem to forget I was only running at 3013 MHz haha, well it seems the rest of the world hit 3.2 no problem

 

Lol. you were able to boot at 3.2ghz though right?

 

I think I got to desktop, definitely not a useful OC though, may have only seen loading screen

 

Pmanuk's Clevo hit 11889 in Vantage. Anyone else trying? He'll probably beat my score shortly.

 

is he overvolted?

 

Pretty sure no one with MXM 3.0 is overvolting. Good job mandrake on that 3dmark06 score

 

I don't think so.

 

Thanks! I tried running it in Win 7 and lost 2K points, lol!

 

if i oc my gpu and i start a crysis benchmark, i have some heavy slow downs(fps drop to 5fps from 25-30fps). No matter what clock i use. When i run on default, it works stabile without drops. Does somebody have the same problem or does it run smooth with you all with oc gpu?

 

What clocks are you using?

 

Are you OC'ing the CPU also? If so I would try default on the CPU and OC on the GPU to see what it does.

 

Highest i have seen on a notebook was 34@very high by Johnkss , highest ATI score i saw was 29 by me . You guys should be hitting 36fps atleast(without overclocking the GPU) IMHO . Anothergeek said the reason John got such good scores were because he was using some old drivers IE 179 series i believe . i would have thought things would have gotten better for the game overtime interms of performance with newer sets of drivers but apparently not.


Johns best runs were with his GPUs overclocked but his overclocks were the default clocks of the 280s .

 

:argh........
I need to benchmar something. I wonder if my ati igp can do some damage in crysis.






or maybe it will be the other way around

 

finaly i can OC my 280 if windows load my OC profile of Ntunes my M71x wil frezz even it not OC but if i load profile in windows i can OC very good and my m17x wil not frezz

CPU 686Mhz
DDR3 1000mhz
shader clock 1712Mhz

in 3dmark vantage i got 11201

 

Im sure your time is coming Don .

 

Lol. it better. i'm on my cousin's desktop with a 7600 gt 2.8ghz Pentuim D. it can't run prototype @1024*768 all low.

 

Hold your head down low in embarrassment...lol j/k

 

nope im not overvolted, for the record

desperatley trying to catch mandrake

 

NOT YET
I'm hoping that there's a magical driver that will bump it up to 30fps.

nice pump it some more

 

Pmanuk i cant imagine how excited Mandrake is right now that someone is finally approaching his scores .

I tried but got burned out before it all began and i know there were a few waiting on me lol.

Don will give you guys a run for your money when ever he gets his new machine .

 

mate if i pump it any more it will explode lol, im treading water with drivers/clocks

 

i think mandrake is bored

 

lol! you know me well.

 

Youll get there man , keep the faith I know mandrake is cheering for you lol.

You are less then 200 points from breaking the record so you could hit it soon im sure . How much have you tweaked your OS etc ? .

 

Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you to break the record. Then I get back to into it. Until then I'm still trying for 18K.

 

havent touched it...

 

dam it sounds like a real challenge mandrake.

 

i mean its a standard vista prem install, havent touched it at all

 

Open up your services and disable things like windows searching ,Ready boost,Superfetch.

 

cant get higher on these drivers, need to try something else...

who else got confirmed over 11.8?

 

no your in second place.

 

oh mandrake...

which drivers u use for your record?

 

here is my latest check out the temps

 

You should also disable any non-essential startup items as well prior to running your benches. Deep six Messenger, Steam, and all that other stuff. It wont make a huge difference, but you will gain a bit of an assist from not having those little apps running in the background.

Agree with Quad... Windows Search (what we used to call Indexing) can and should be disabled. Its just a waste of resources producing unecessary drive activity at the most undesirable moments. If you never search for a file from the desktop - you don't need it running. Kill it.

 

Speaking of all this talk about tweaking the OS for maximum performance, didn't johnkssss heavily modify keyword modify, not tweak his OS for benchmarking? IMO part (albeit small) of the reason many of his scores remain unbeaten to this day.

 

There is really only so much you can do to the OS itself to give you better graphics performance and thats mainly just eliminating stuff running in the background that might hog up CPU cycles etc.

 

Hey, where did your setup info for your M17x go in your sig? Just curious if you returned it or something plus it was pleasing to the eyes to see both of those beauties lined up in one sig ;P.

 

Its gone for now technically . I got the m17 a week after the M17x and decided i didnt need both machines . I got the M17 with everything you see in it for such a good deal i couldnt pass it up . My original intentions were to just put everything in the M17x and then sell the M17 as barebones but someone close to me wanted my M17x so i decided to let it go for exactly what i paid for it so it was no loss to me . I still have the machine in my posession and its more then half paid off by said person and when i receive the rest of the money he will be getting it .

I loved the M17x for the record and will probably get another one when they release new cards for it is what im thinking currently but this M17 is kickin some but and i got rid of the stutter with the Qx9300 so im very content at the moment . Im working on getting the 4850s for it as well which was another reason i didnt need both of them.

Oh and i liked seeing them both in my sig as well lol but it had to come off of there .
