M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

Wow first run? Nice stuff looking forward to some future benches..

 

Got 13K CPU...still going.

 

Memory is definitely helping with the CPU, you're ready to break your records. What is the memory spec?

 

6-5-5-15 running at 1066. Speed is a little bit higher when pushing the bus in NST.

 

Wow/

Very impressive scores, drake!

 

Thanks. Looking to see what scores Scook comes back with.

 

I'll be benching tomorrow... Just don't expect anything great w/ an oc'd P8600

 

My scores are

3D Mark 06: 15,963

Vantage: P12,664

I'm guessing they're decent scores for 260 sli?

One question, in Orb my Vantage graphics score is 10,535 but the CPU score is 32,164. Why is the CPU score so high compared to others on here? Am I running the right tests?

 

well dang Mandrake.....congrats on the new score

So far I have only gotten 8 more points out of the system P12089

I guess the lower OC on my CPU is getting the best of me now - best CPU score I have gotten is 13001 so far

What are you doing to get the higher GPU scores, highest I have seen is like 11850 so far on my system, but that is with either 186.61 or 186.24

Tried DoX but they always are less stable for me (cant get as high an OC)

Would they give a higher score even though on lower clocks?

 

disable PPU in options

The GPU's are doing the physics and artificially inflating your cpu score

 

I'm using the Dox 186.42 drivers and my clocks on the last score was 680|1065|1700. Cpu I believe was at 3.27Ghz. I've also been managing my own 3D settings which I assume you do also.

 

Cheers sckook, I though something like that must be happening. I'll try again.

 

Nice run mandrake.

 

Thanks don! Looking forward to you getting the system.

 

Thanks alot. I hope I can wrap stuff up quickly. I'm scrathing right now for it.

 

It's more fun when others get into it and I know you'll start benchmarking hardcore.

 

Yeah that's all I do is benchmark all day.
After every task there's a benchmark
Start up benchmark
Start button benchmark
My computer benchmark
C drive benchmark
Install a game benchmark
'oh, i'm hungry let me get something to eat,' benchmark.
'i don't want to touch my computer with my hands cause i'm eating. Soooo' benchmark.

 

Revised scores (thanks scook):

P10946
CPU 12264
Graphics 10567

Is that decent for my system spec? I'm running the CPU at 3.08Mhz.

 

Yeah im looking forward to you getting a system Don thats for sure .


Nice scores btw Drake . Gotta link for that new fancy Ram of yours ?.

 

Me to quad. I'm counting down. Lol

 

I will look into the dox drivers more.

but the ones I got 182.64 I think(?) seem to be much less tolerant of GPU OC compared to the 186.24's I have been using. Even with a high voltage bump (1.07 V)

 

Can you tell me how you do that? My highest core are 670/1050/1675 only with 190.40. Other good Driver for Vantage are bad for my System.

What memory do you use? Or what Memory is good for M17x? I will also tune my Book.^^.

My SSD comes yesterday and my next Benchsessions startet yet.

 

Did you guys feel the sun during your test? Or did time itself shatter from the M17 being unable to calculate the time flow causing a freeze in latency of the time zone..therefore disrupting time itself, causing power outages...So i have one thing to say be careful with OC and all that fancy crossing-fire and S-LI.(sarcasm)

 

nightmear - dude, please fix that sig... lol

 

I actually can't find it on the site I bought it from. The memory is Kingston HyperX model# KHX8500S3ULK2/4G. Same as the one I'm selling without the "X" at the end. Runs much hotter than the other modules but I guess that's the price for better timings.

 

Hmm much better than mine. I wonder how much my slower CPU impacts the results, I have the Q9000.

P6353, GPU6136. (running High setting benchmark)

Are you running the high or performance benchmark and are the SLI 260s overclocked?

Concerned there is something very wrong with my system at the moment :-(

 

Those are non-SLI numbers. I scored 6300 on the GPU with one card off.

 

Hmmm nvida control panel tells me it's running SLI and if I change to non-SLI the numbers go even lower (like close to half again) also the system properties in Vantage tell me I have 2 linked adapters?

What would be the best way to confirm, I believe I ran GPUz or that other hardware monitoring program which also say I had 2 cards SLI enabled?

Oh and not sure if it's also relevant but regardless of what I set the SLI too the windows index for the graphics is 5.9 for both?

 

Post a screen shot of GPU-Z.

 

Will do when I get home, sadly forgot to take a SS and bring it to work!

 

In in the Nvida control panel you can turn on the SLI visual indicator under 3d settings at the top of the CP and see if SLI is running while your benching etc.

 

@ mandrake:

What is the highest Core from X9100 in the M17x? 3.6GHz? (Memory in order^^. I test it.)

 

I often benchmarked my x9100 around 3.5Ghz. Highest GPU settings were 690|1065|1725....I think that's what you're asking. If not rephrase please.

 

Yes^^ Thx. (My english Lessons was 1985-1990. Thats a long time.)

 

Cool thanks, well at least I'm seeing a fully top to bottom green SLI bar now during the benchmarks, well other than the CPU ones Now to get some screen shots of the before and afters!

 

This is running the High standard test result running in SLI I had the SLI visual notification on so could see both running.

 

hey, that's pretty dammn good there.

 

Hmm was under the impression from other posters that I should be getting higher on the GPU?

 

Don't worry I can still understand you better than the average american kid.

 

yes...this is true...
9800m gtx in high mode.

 

lol...you're running high performance we're just running the default "P" which I think stands for Performance. Set it to default and try again. Your score posted is fine.

 

what did you get for the "H" standard. even the w90's only got like 7k for gpu (speculation because it's been a few months)

now this is how the runs should look like right here!
nice job there mandrake

 

Thanks! I have tried the H runs myself. I'll give it a go later.

 

your welcome.

sounds good.

yeah, you guys still have to run
high & extreme

because those are closer to what you game at.

 

Also run "X" on vantage.

 

that is extreme don...

here goes the guy i think i was going up against.
he ran quad and i ran dual core.
http://service.futuremark.com/resultComparison.action?compareResultId=963573&compareResultType=19

 

My QX9300 is overclocked to 3.08Ghz (9.5x 1300Mhz)
Graphic cards are running at 550/950/1350
A02 Bios
186.82 Drivers

It is a little unstable so I might return the graphics to stock.

 

Also tried Vantage on High setting and got:

H6685
GPU 6182
CPU 12410

 

woohooo...9800m still holding a spot near the top! "yay me!"

 

Have you tried keeping your FSB and MEM at default and changing your multiplier to 11.5?

Try it with PhysX off.
