M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

Well, I got my E8435 back after RMAing my Asus W90 and ran some tests (testing some custom drivers I'm working on). Haven't been on much, because in the meantime, I was working on my HTPC. Nonetheless, I posted my H score on orb, and my P score didn't change much so I left it as is. But when I ran on Extreme mode (I had to lower it to 1920x1080, so it's not official), I'm getting higher scores than my H score on the W90. Any of you guys experiencing this with the M17x/NVidia cards?

 

WHAMMY! CAUGHT UP! (god how I wish I had you by 1 point though haha)

P12193

GPU: 11996
CPU: 12824

 

So I had the SLI status thing running during the magical run haha

Does the amount that is filled vertically represent the GPU utilization? Because if it does, Vantage could use it better (still MUCH better than 06 was though)

 

Alright somebody throw up a high 280 single imma be bored over the weekend ...

 

haha moo, I gotta use my time wisely, as college is siphoning it all away

Look to the clevo users with a single GTX280m as your competition maybe?

As a side note, which SLI mode is best for 3DMark06 and Vantage?

 

I can't because they can use the vantage king driver

 

vantage king driver?

Which would that be? Dox? (it does work nice, got me my score )

 

185 from my understanding ....

I heard 179 was good to ...

 

well look at scook9. just a movin' on up...ain't cha!

nice work!

nice H score, but that's not official either. wow , them 4870's are making a move these days. so what did you get when you ran the whole test.? (test 1 through 4)

4870's look to be still in the game mandrake...but wont know for sure till a whole run is completed.

also, has anyone seen or ran any current test on the 9800m gtx lately? curious as to if they gained any small improvements with newer drivers..

 

Ok, I know there are threads for this one but wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem recently. I am finishing up my review of my M17x and am almost finished except for one thing, I need one last run of benches. 3d Mark and Vantage are both responding with the blasted COM Surrogate error and I can't get it to go away. I have gone to through the posts here, Microsoft forums, and others (even the thinkgeek post) and none of the suggested fixes have yielded positive results.

Just looking for any suggestions from anyone else that has encountered this error recently. Any suggestions would be appreciated and sorry for getting off topic.

 

hmm i need to get back to clocking again I been slacking

hmm those v mods that your using scook they exclusive to the 17x? can you still do a windows flash on those cards or is it a usb thumbstick jobbie?

Might consider upping the V's on mine for abit higher score

 

Great job! You couldn't get 1 more point higher? lol!

Did you use the Dox 182.46 drivers?

Lower your CPU OC. It's probably too high and crashing parts of Windows.

Yes you do...slacker.

 

OMG! how do you guys get scores that fricken high? I don't get it? I only differ by the CPU but my graphics are the same...

these are my sscores....

how are they?

 

I have tried that a few times but I will try it again in the morn. Reset everything to default but still no luck. I will work on it more tomorrow, almost 4 here on the West coast.

 

Your GPU score is waaaaaay too low. Single cards score higher. You need to troubleshoot that.

If your still have issues with everything at stock then you might want to reinstall Windows.

 

No pics of the red system or did I just miss that post?

 

hey moo, how is my score now?



does it fall in the average or high?

 

You gpu score is good if you are stock.

Turn physx off and overclock your cpu and run some stuff.

Scook9
Your almost there.

 

This is my first run on "H"



sh*t mandrake! how are your scores so damn high?

 

What's the deal with turning PhysX off btw?

I've got it on along with SLI at the moment but wondering if it would be better off?

 

If you want to do more of a comparison of scores you'll need to turn PhysX off. Scook and I keep it off because we are submitting our scores.

 

Last Run with new Memory @ 1066/FSB 1066 - 11.882 (see Sig.)

 

why has no one thrown up a single 280

 

physx artifically overinflates the CPU scores (as I am sure you can see) because it is giving the CPU credit for the PhysX load that your GPUs are doing. If you want to compare, turn off physx.

 

Thats my GPU Score without CPU Test and PhysiX off.

 

well if we are throwing up GPU scores, I got 11996

 

Which memory did you get?

I'm trying my OCZ hdd in the M17x. I can do one if you wish after that.

 

I know. Thats good^^. Tell me a How To Overvolting with NiBiTor. I'm angry.

EDIT: Damn 182.46 runs very bad on my System. 190.40 is the only one for me. (For Vantage.)

 

That KingstonX what you tell me.^^

 

same principle

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=401345

 

That was fast. Did you check your memory timings? Are they reading correctly? The over-volting hasn't proved better performance so far. It will only cause extra heat.

 

One day for shipping^^. Yes, they reading correctly at first time as 6-5-5-15 at 1066.

 

Are you noticing a difference in your benchmarks?

 

Not really. Only +50 pt. in Vantage are not enough for 170$

But I will test the next day even more.

 

Does it have an effect on day to day gaming, assuming the game doesn't use PhysX?

 

Yes because it's one of the many things the MCP does.

 

Ok I should have asked the question another way

Should I leave it on in general except for benchmarks or is it pointless if the games isn't using PhysX?

 

i use to leave mine on while playing...no change when i tested it back then. just as long as the game didn't have physics running.

 

Gaming with it is fine even if the game doesn't support it. When benchmarking turn it off to make better comparisons with other systems.

 

Stock:



Seems a bit low to me.

 

NEW RECORD FOR GPU AND OVERALL

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1383467
P12281
GPU: 12042
CPU: 13061

 

Grats! All hail the new benchmark king! I kid I kid, you and Mandrake have really been putting on a show lately.

 

always glad to entertain!

Now that I got this taken care of, I can actually use my laptop like a normal person haha

Just had to get that benchmarking out of the way

 

Nice job scook. How do you feel?

 

excellent

Like I said, now I can rest a while lol

edit: actually, I need to get the 06 score up first, soon

 

well, well, well...would you look at that there!

congratz scook9!

 

glad to see all of your hard "work" finally pay off. are you using a single 4gb stick of ram or a kit?

 

2x2GB Kit

This should offer twice the bandwidth compared to a single stick as you can utilize the dual channel ability of the chipset

 

This the benchmark tests i got in the data provided by alienware. Is that a good score, not really familliar with these things

AWMark Score- 8334 AWMarks
Graphics Score- 9956 Points
CPU Score- 5598 Points
Graphics Test 1 - Jane Nash- 28 FPS
Graphics Test 2 - New Calico- 30 FPS
CPU Test 1 - AI Test- 749 Plans/S
CPU Test 2 - Physics- 8 Steps/S
Feature Test 1 - Texture Fill- 853 FPS
Feature Test 2 - Color Fill- 5 FPS
Feature Test 3 - POM- 22 FPS
Feature Test 4 - GPU Cloth- 17 FPS
Feature Test 5 - GPU Particles- 23 FPS
Feature Test 6 - Perlin Noise- 37 FPS

 

assuming that AWMarks are Vantage score, that is pretty good
