M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

I really cant blame what you did there man, the M17 is a beautiful machine, without quad stuttering I don't really see the point of having the M17x either considering the 280's are showing to be a bit of a let down. Good news indeed, perhaps you will come back to the darkside of ATI when they release the mythical 4870 DDR5 cards, they've all but become the 10th wonder of the world, and frankly I wouldnt be surprised if they never came out (loud internal sigh). Anyway sorry to hijack the thread guys, back to benchmarking

 

Dox 182.46

 

When you get the record I would expect all the tests to be run except the features test....otherwise won't count.

 

Believe it or not the less I run the less stable the Vantage run becomes....a little strange.

 

Let down why? Much better than my previous cards which were 8800M GTX SLI.

 

I said a bit of a letdown, not a huge letdown at all. The stock perfomance of the 280's are just outstanding so far, but I have yet to see alot of gaming/3dmark benches done by johnksss and w90 owners being broken. I believe the record for a laptop vantage run is still with a 9800GTXSLI (not John) owner. I know you mightve thought u were but I think his was around 12.3k if I remember, I'll have to get a link.

 

John reached 11.3 not 12.3.

 

No there's another vantage benchmark out there with a 9800GTX SLI owner, looking for a link now.

 

The only part that did not blow me away was the fact it was not much better if any compared to the W90 but are still very powerful . I maybe expected more then i should have out of the box . Thats exactly why i wasnt bummed out passing it on . the person getting it will beat on it till it gives him what he wants from it

The 280s are crushing the 9800GTXs in Vantage . Now i want to see that equate into other games like Crysis where it should be beating them there as well. I tried with crysis many times but could not get better results then john period. My best with heavily overclocked GPUs were 30fps and stock was 27ish.

 

Ok let me know. Always up for a challenge.

 

wow maybe I'm still drunk from last night and dont know it? The score I was referring to was a total vantage score which had physx on...I take it back you are the record holder at this point. Going along with what Quad said I meant to aim my critique more toward the in game benches not being taken down by yet by the 280's.

 

quad he better beat it. I think you have 11,500 on it right? the only down fall of the w90 is the problems, voltage, and the clocks of the cards. the 3870 is clocked higher and I believe the also overclock higher with no voltage increase. otherwise it would of still been selling regardless of the 18.5(1920*1200), etc.

as for the 280m we all excepted it to slam everything in it's way which it did but not as much as we hoped.

 

its 1am here but i will quickly get dox's and see what it gives using the same driver

p.s notice the name change, Thanks Chaz

 

it's 8:45pm here

 

It's just me that think the GTX280M must have been named as GTS250m ? S:
I when bought my m17x just thinked: 'Wow, a 280 mobile! It will run even my father on it', but it is not what i thinked.
Sorry for bad english, i am just a 15 year-old brazilian guy, so i don't know how to speak/write english pretty well.

[]'s

 

What? 10char

 

it's ok brazil. it's was suppose to be a 180m and the 260m a 170m.

 

I wish they would all rename there cards period ATI and Nvidia alike but i said this in another thread that Average joe consumer would not know what he is buying unless it had a familiar naming scheme behind it .

The 280s are great cards no doubt about it there just not desktop 280s which some are lead to believe like the Brazilian guy above .

 

I love marketing.

 

argh sooo close

 

Keep it up Pman . Did you do any of the suggested tweaks to your OS like suggested to see if you could squeeze out a bit more from it ?.

 

yup and i am on my 6th driver

 

Haha your determined .

 

if i cant beat mandrake his head will get so big he cant walk through doors...

 

Lol i think its already to late for that but maybe you can help shrink it abit .

 

think its only me and mandrake benching really too which is sad

 

It seems like I get better scores if Control panel>ease of access center>make it easier to focus on tasks>check box, "turn off all unnecessary animations(when possible) also control panel>performance information and tools>adjust visual effects>adjust for best performance.

 

Pman. You have a PM incoming. I shall teach you the secret of overclocking to achieve the highest score.

 

pm me also

 

Did you move? lol!

 

Here I thought I was more humble than the average person here. I just don't like that people keep saying I'm "lucky" with the speed of my qx9300.

 

PM sent. 10char

 

What's with the secret PMs?

 

That's classified. KGB (Klevo Gaming Brigade) only.

 

Dont worry drake your still on top(for now) .

 

hmmm....so you've joined the clevo crew.

 

Haha no just having some fun at your expense .

 

I feel picked on.:cry: I want my mommy!

 

I am was a proud owner of a clevo thank you soviet.

 

you know what. your right mandrake. everyone calling you lucky and all. just sell my your cpu and call it a day. i'll take all the lucky this and that. I got you.

 

camon people dont make so much of a secret... please tell me things

 

how much is a "lucky" qx9300 worth to you?

 

lol why do I feel like the attention is going back on me again lol

 

as long as it's off me. So which system you getting don?

 

Don't worry we'll have our own secrets.

 

lmao again?

so how about them yankees?

 

I'm going to create a "So which new system will dondadah88 buy?" thread.

 

Haha not a bad idea but i have a feeling it will be a very short lived thread .

 

lol. don't do that. no one will look in it any+ays. it will be a dead thread from the get go.

right guys?????????

 

Here's my current "lucky" cpu settings. Anyone can copy me now, no secrets.
