M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

if you think you can help by all means i have tried every driver i think i can get my hands on and tried different clock combinations, darn 2nd gpu test in vantage has 2 crash points, either right at the start as the big ship comes into view or as the ship opens the missile silos on the top and the dust/steam comes out

 

oh gpuz ok!. i have it. thanks my friend

 

lol, I had the same problem at those two points also.

 

so NST is the way to go?

wanna give me a link?

 

oooh, my favorite link... CLICK ME!

 

lool thats so funny.

ok i now disabled the hybrid and intergrated graphics. gpuz reports nvidia sli enabled (2gpus). thats right eh?

 

yes, run 3dmark06 again.

 

ok i give up!

here is my score again



and this is the gpuz report



i think its a driver issue. i think i will get rid of the dell performance driver finally.

 

Can you post a screen shot of device manager and expand out the display adapters? Also what BIOS are you using?

 

not sure yet...ill know when i get my board back. i got another one for the time being and i dont want to put it under stress.

sure, go ahead.
i did it and now there are 2 others in the 45k realm, but before...they we're having very hard time breaking 44k and 45k. i come in and have my setup for about 2 weeks and jumped right up to 45k then almost 46k before anyone could figure out how to get past 45k...lol...but i gave some of my advice and now they are in the 45k area as well.

 

We're talking via PM.

 

here is the device manager. the gtx280s have the not signed nvidia driver



i have the bios A01

 

ahhh something gone serious wrong

windows wont boot, safe mode wont boot either


sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttteeeeeeeeeee

 

going to re-install drivers managed to get safe mode loading almost crapped myself

 

I'm getting to the point where I need to be in front of that system to figure this out. Let me think about it some more. I just reinstalled my OS, threw on 3dmark06 and without any tweaks accept for my normal CPU OC I scored 16.3K.

Edit: Do you remember this problem before you upgraded to the A01 bios?

 

I injected too much power into your system and it nearly blew a gasket on ya.

 

What version of NST is best to use? I have heard it isn't necessarily the newest one.

 

6.02 and i have never had any issues

 

ok i fixed it finally. dont ask me how. i installed previous bios. then the new one again. then formated my ssd. then installed the stock driver. set sli.then installed the performance driver with hybrid enabled. then disabled hybrid.


whatever. i scored 16097 with sli enabled (without the hybrid enabled of course) and the 10x 1280 fsb memory. still less than with the hybrid enabled which i got 16300 as i posted before.

 

running occt now on 10.5x 1200/1200 for final clock of 3.15 GHz (fingers crossed)

edit: LinPack should test for stability just as well as regular OCCT: CPU right? I am running LinPack right now

10.5x 1200/1200 crashed using A01, flashed to A00 trying again now, so far it is 22 minutes in using OCCT: CPU and no issues

update: 10.5x 1200/1200 A00 passed 1 full hour OCCT:GPU with no issues

A00 3.2 (10x 1280/1280) - failed
A00 3.2 (10.5x 1220/1220) - failed
A00 3.2 (11x 1164/1164) - failed
A00 3.2 (11.5x 1112/1112) - failed
A00 3.2 (12x 1066/1066) - failed

It appears that 3.2 is the great wall of china for me And I don't think I can blame the ram sadly...Temps never over 73 btw (LOVE this cooling!)

final update - on the final reboot, my 9400m is on.......so I guess I will redo all those with confirmation that 9400m is OFF each time....lol DAMIT (I know it was turned off right after the bios flash )

 

Hi @ all

My corrently best Runs are:

Vantage GPU - 11.816 - 3.06 GHz
3DMark06 - 16.691 - 3.2 GHz

CPU/RAM settings are default. Only used the Multi.

 

Congrats on solving it. I can't help but think this was a bios issue.

If it makes you feel any better I never had any luck with my multiplier above 10. Have you tried default multiplier and 1333/1333 yet?

Edit: My x9100 hated when i changed my multi.

 

Nice scores. Is your Vantage score the total score or the GPU score?

 

Sry. Is GPU Score. (I edit the post.)

 

Very nice. 3rd highest GPU score I've seen on a notebook. Did you run everything default?

 

CPU & GPU are OC'd. FSB and RAM Frequency are default. I have the best Results with this.

Screens comes later.

 

What GPU clocks did you use?

 

I think for Vantage 670/1050/1675, for 06 660/1050/1650. Mhh, i must see the Screens^^. To much Benches. I can post the screens in a hour.

 

For a second there, I thought I was seeing two Mandrake's.

 

Just got my replacement unit yesterday and have been updating it and loading my software on it since. Just finished running 3d mark 06 at default settings with Norton running a scan in the background. Gotta say I was impressed.

I will push the cpu a bit more to find its max, then move on to the gpus. The benching with the virus scan was just to see if Norton could deliver on their promise of a faster software suite. Gotta say, it's much less of a system hog than most. Crap it's late.

does Norton allow you to set exclusions for on access?

 

Here my Screens:

 

Nice screans and scores Hand.

Norton does allow for "on" or even "delay on" within the tune up settings. I am using Norton 360 3.0 just in case you wanted to know Mandrake. Compared the reg to premier, all the premier had was 25gb of online backup space compared to the 2gb with the reg.

 

i have an other suspision. i made a new format just to test this.

 

the core speed says 1.6ghz for the benchmark06. u used the stock drivers or the dell performance? i can see u achieved this score without changing anything but the multiplier.

 

CPU-Z shows only the current core speed.

 

Speedstep. The CPU was idle when he took the screen shot.

 

Vantage runs with 3.06 GHZ (x11.5, 190.40, Vista SP1), 06 runs with 3.24 GHz (x12 & FSB 1080, tweaked 186.24, Vista SP2).

Next Tests coming ...

BTW: My QX is not from Dell. Is shipped from Taiwan (OEM, 699$)

 

Do you have farcry2?

 

I do

what you after don?

 

handshake did your OC's pass OCCT or are they unstable?

Mandrake, I tried 9.5x @ 1333 in A01 and bsod at login. Haven't tried in A00 yet. I will tonight. But I am not hopeful till I get that 1333 ram in.

 

Looks like you have more money in the bank now.

 

Yes.

Same Problem.

 

you have to beat my whitebook and my sager score. all the settings on in it.

sager np9262
intel [email protected]
overclocked 9800m gtx single

it's alittle hard to see the sager one but the settings are the same as the whitebook.
the average is 41fps.

Ocz whitebook
Intel [email protected]
Stocked 3870 Crossfire

Average is 61Fps.
beat them single and sli

 

Mhh. It's funny (or not). I have 2 Partitions. For Work and Bench.

On my Benchpartition: 3.06 GHZ (x11.5) is even stable. 3.2 GHz (x12) even Bluescreen on Windows Logon or seconds later.

On my Workpartition, 3.06 GHz even stable and 3.2 GHz is mostly stable.

What is that??

Sry for my bad english^^. I come from Germany an my English Lessons was for a long Time. =)

 

I test it on evening. (In Crysis i have slow downs with GPU OC.)

@ mandrake: Have you seen my Driver for Vantage? Can you test it? (from guru3D)

 

Ok just checking, I personally only bench when I have a rock solid OC, so my numbers (whenever I find my final OC) may mean more than yours...since they mean what my system can reliably do

Nice scores still

@ mandrake, got paid friday and selling my es qx9300 today for cash!

 

your memory is to high. lower it or cool it better.
good luck,

please help to overclock gpu's

yesterday I download and install the new driver 190.56 from laptop video2go and disable the 9400m run a test on 3dmark06 and just get 15,150 my cpu was a litle hot 70c​

but the gpu's hit 63 maximum I know they dont have any pressure at those temps I have nvidia system tools installed some body please tell me ​

how to overclock my gpu's

 

ok my results show that i solved the problem and it was not a bios issue but the fact that i was changing the ide controller from the nvidia one to the standard one so as to run a tool for my ssd (its called wiper). if it dont change this the wiper tool doesnt detect my ssd. dont worry i was changing it back to the nvidia after i run this tool and before i run benchmark. but something with the sli configuration was destroyed possibly even though it was enabled in nvidia control panel and the gpuz.

i changed my cpu to 3.125 ghz (10x multiplier, and 1250 fsb and memory) which is more than stable for my cpu. with the 1260 for fsb and memory i was getting blue screen rarely but it was annoying when it did. so i changed it a little bit lower
so here are my final results.



so 16334 points at 3.125 ghz and without overclocked gpus. i spent many hours on this. Mandrake what do you say now my friend?
