M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

No I aint changed much in OS. Cleaned up some startup processes and that's bout it so far.

I am tweaking as I go, between stress runs haha

 

My system was already tweaked from all my x9100 testing when I dropped in my qx9300.

 

well the program i linked in the last post is what i use and LOVE it

 

my left gpu fan is squeaking that is the secondary card right? it annoys me....any tips or let it wear itself in....

 

wd40?...lol

 

not quite what I was going for lol

edit: seems to have stopped, think the bearing needs to break in still

 

the Fans are easy to get to :

break it in with OCCT

 

well BSOD at 10x and 1280/1280

Gonna try some higher multi now

edit: and what the F is up with no num lock by default...no option to turn on either

 

Are you sure it's not coil noise from the gpu?

 

are you sure it isn't the psu????

 

It wasn't constant, it was repeating regularly. And I put my ear right by the fan to verify the source of noise

got bsod at 3.2 with 10x and 1280, just gonna try 12x and stock fsb now haha

 

If you get any dividers/multipliers working well for you let me know. I tried for about a day with the qx9300 to try to find a higher OC.

How long does it last before the BSOD?

 

the 10x and 1280 was around 15 mins in I think

at 6 minutes now with 12x 1066 so far so good

 

Nice. nice. i like what i'm seeing.

 

That's plenty long enough for benchmarking. Just won't be able to keep it there.

 

humm where is butters ?

 

on another bet with his parents.

@scook....I'm running the A00 bios, you may want to also try that.

 

A00 sucks .....

i love his parents

i still haven't hit my 1 ghz OC yet .... any ideas guys

i disabled the 9400m and i can only FSB pump so i think that might be why .....

specially when its running @ 362mhz ....

 

lol! that's funny, don't know how many people got that.

 

so which one is better a00 or a01.

his parents are to much and there bets are to much.

"i'm just dropping a line on NBR before my parents come home."
lol

edit: i didn't get it.

 

How high did you set your bus in NST?

 

i edited the last post

 

well just finished 20 min OCCT at 12x 1066/1066 (so really 15 min OCCT since the idle at start and end)

gonna try 12.5x now with 25 min run so a full 20 mins burning

 

you know how much love Moo has for Butters.

A00 is better currently (sorry Moo)

 

Regardless what you end up with you should get good benchmarks...gotta go to bed to wake up early for work. Hope to see some scores when I wake up.

 

A01 gave me + .04 MHZ

 

It's probably more of a quad issue.

 

oh oh i see it now. i feel dum. Lmao

ok so a0 has better overclock. what differences did you experince then what it says on the dell website. (do you get me?)

 

BTW, with you hitting 3.2Ghz I'll be waiting for people to start apologizing for all the "lucky" comments.

 

haha, no luck at 12.5x 1066/1066, 12x 1200/1200

Trying 12x 1066/1066 at longer occt time now as that is still plenty of OC for one night

 

well 12x crashed at login for me...just running 06 at stock then bedtime.

to be continued....

 

Got 13488 with stock speeds all around, had the gpu scaling on though, running again with it off to see if it will go up (figure it should slightly), over next 2 weeks I will do many runs to churn out a high score (both vantage and 06)

and WOW, 1000th post. Go me!

 

I got it LOL

 

Me too

123

 

you will have a seriously hard time beating the x9100 vantage score

 

Could someone please help give me advice on how to improve my 3DMark06 Score of 10722 Stock please?

http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=9429508DAB546ECD0D2ABB548891B690

My system config: Q9000 and GTX280M...

I thought the stock is supposed to be 13-15k

 

well how do your games run ?

 

tell me about it....

 

The higher clocks on the dual core let mandrake score what he did. Unless you match his dual core.... clock for clock you will not beat it .

 

No new scores from you?

 

goodmorning from europe.

the bluetooth doesnt always need 30sec. somethign when i play with the processes or do something else it loads immediately. so its not related to aliensense. and many times when i remove the battery i starts even faster.

as for the benchmark i reached 15530 with the dell performance drivers and cpu at 3.07 no overclock of gpus.

i think its a respectable score.

 

EDIT: my m17x gives me the impression that the cpu ghz are indepedant from the memory and fsb speed i select in bios. i have set 1220 to both fsb and memory now and multiplier to 10 and windows properties say cpu as 2.67ghz.

so mandrake how did you make these calculations?

 

nothing that breaks my highest, I am trying new and different drivers, I dont think i can get to your score without some drastic measures,

I think you really did get the Golden child with that machine

What scores are others with the m17x getting?

 

I have not run any games yet, but I really want to know why my score is so low (I lurk around before buying this lappy, I knew that 1 GTX 260M is about 10k, which is what I am getting with 2 GTX 280M sli and it doesnt make sense ) I know I am totally clueless . I am a noob for benchmarks

 

It's your 2Ghz speed holding your 3DMark score down. Even at 2.4Ghz your not going to get very far. I wouldn't bother with that test, test with Vantage.

 

Second highest I've heard is 11.6K but Scook just got his and he's a bit more seasoned in benchmarking so we'll see what he gets.

 

Im assuming you have checked the obvious and that sli is enabled, i get about 10k with one 280

have you run vantage? if you screenie?

 

fsb is quad pump so a setting your fsb to 1280 you need to divide it by 4 to get the bus speed. 1280/4=320 multiply that by your multiplier 320x10=3200Mhz or 3.2Ghz. Use cpu-z to verify your cpu speed.

Vantage will test your 280s better than 06. Stock score you're looking for would be 10K+ on the GPU.

 

It is not that I am seasoned, I will just optimize the system, then run a few hundred runs to get the highest score possible haha

so far 10x 1280/1280 was unstable, 12x 1066/1066 was unstable, 10x 1240/1240 was stable. I really want to be at at least 3.2 (REALLY need to get that 1333 ram haha)

but that stock vantage run I had was nice

Puts me at 3rd highest vantage score in ORB for a qx9300 lol (for as much as that matters...)

 

everything matters. i'm surprised with 2.53 you broke 10k
