M17x Benchmarks thread !!!

bad link, repost...

when running hdtune...the settings should be 8 meg/ accurate

 

I have no idea why the link doesn't work... when I click at it from my gmail it opens up no problem (prompts for a file download)... PM me with your email address I guess.

Where do you change the settings from HD Tune to 8 meg? I cant find that option...

 

click the 2 yellow gears at the top right portion of the screen
then click benchmark
set it to 8meg
set it to 100 percent accurate or slide the slider all the way down.

 

Your ATTO results look much better.

I would say reset them to factory condition and reinstall your system.

Problem is, there isn't an easy way to do it with the samsungs

 

Looking better?

 

now that's looking more like right!

also give the random access a try
and move big files around..files like 2 to 5 gigs in size.
move files from your laptop to another machine if you have one handy
move files using esata.

just a few suggestions to get a real world performance idea....

 

+ rep for joo and sleey0, seriously thx

What do you mean by move files? what would that accomplish?

 

it shows you the real deal.
you use the hdtunes monitor feature to see just how fast you can read and write files to and from your raid or to esata to see how fast your esata really is.
test it against your other hard drives as well. if your running a gigabyte network, then you can really see how fast you can move files.

this is just like people say synthetic benchmarks mean nothing (bs if you ask me, they all mean something..lol) well this is the flip side to synthetic drive test...

 

disappoint me

 

Here is a working link for SSD Tweaker

Code:

lol

Why?

What was the single 260's score (I know you told me before but I can't remember for crap)?

 

He scored 6300 for his. that the 260m record....

 

Thank you! that's the one.

 

nice looking program.
so when you ran that and then ran your test...how much more performance did you gain? because i know you ran it both ways already....lol

 

John, to be honest with you I havet played with the tool yet as I'm trying to do so many things with this laptop..... however check this out, I'm sure you'll enjoy it

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49779

 

way ahead of you...already been there. a few times. back when i was looking into running ssd's..lol

and i put all that stuff to the test...but what made the vertex drive run far better than what people expected was....the 1275 firmware update.

 

Well, did you ever try all that stuff from the tool? (either manually or with the tool?)

 

my screen is freaking out again....has only been fully stock since yesterday when I reloaded the driver and it "seemingly" fixed the problem..... is going on here guys?!

and I will point out I always get to the desktop 100% fine before it starts happening - like it happens when the video driver loads. Should I just try a different driver?

 

I've seen crap like this way to many times on my ALX when I OC a lot.... however what I always end up doing is booting in safe mode and wiping the vid card drivers out... try driver cleaner (works great), then reload the drivers.

 

I did use driver cleaner....I always do....and this system is bone stock

And again.....loaded on the 9400m and it is 100% fine....the GTX 280m's are bugging it out

 

Do you have any way of loading a dual boot to try a fresh install?

 

manually. i was trying it on my regular drives first. then when i got my first ssd. i tried it.. it seems to somewhat help the stuttering and low transfer rate, but not enough to say it was cured. once they came with the 1275 update. the drive ran like a super champ.

and today, i don't disable any of that stuff. no need too. i may from time to time disable that super fetch, since that is the only one that makes any real difference in my opinion. and i did run through these for like 2 weeks str8 back then...but stopped right after i tried to do a system restore and notice that my backups we're gone. due to following someone else's rendition of what i should do to speed up my system. i ran another program that needed the 8.3 and i wasn't about to be defraging a memory drive. (which was found out later to shorten the life of the memory. along with not being needed) that speed up stuff was origially thought to help the stuttering of the ssd's...but in reality...it was the jmicron controller casuing all the poor performance & stuttering found on most ssd drives. people we're trying to use all these things to catch the intel 80 gb drive..which didn't use a jmicron controller.
and ocz corrected theirs with the firmware update. samnsung is another story.. while pqi was also having issues, but seem to corrected it with their newer drives. patriot still has major issues on all of thiers. they run nowhere near their specs unless you test them with nothing on them..start putting daa on them and they start slowing down with lots of stuttering....transcend was just to slow for me period. i tried it out for like 3 hours and took it back.

also like to add...not saying it's bad, just that i didn't see in real gains to using them after a few weeks.
but me, i will try or test anything out there to gain a better understanding.

 

a fresh install should not be needed......

I have a 2nd hard drive with windows 7 and dox drivers loaded, I will check with that later I guess

Doesn't explain why this isn't working though.....

 

make sure to enable 9400m and uninstall drivers there too..

 

that's because no one has yet to be in your position yet to find an answer and to explain it....


so what all have you tried thus far?

 

just reinstalling the drivers (186.81 from nvidia directly) and using driver sweeper (in safe mode) between uninstall and reinstall

and I checked, the Voltage Table is not altered or anything for the bios that is flashed now, it is FULLY stock

 

the best way to fix the problem....do a system restore back to when it was working....

my take on driver sweeper and driver cleaner...98 percent of the time...waste of time.(personal opinion only)

 

Looks like you really done your homework with SSD, I'm very much facinated with this new technology, kinda reminds me back in the days when we were using regular video cards and the Monster cards came out....

I'm sure you've seen this article, but just in case you haven't (very good SSD article IMO)

http://anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3631

 

That may be true regarding driver sweeper, but I don't see how it can hurt anything....(I got time - at least enough to run it between new installs)

As for the system restore, nothing changed from when it was working and when it wasnt, it just started on Thursday and has plagued me since (no changes or anything, not even a windows update)

 

we...the people...are under the impression that if we fill a ssd drive to almost max capacity..the drive will slow to a crawl.

ran that test as well...and the drive still performed relativity well. with almost no real lost in speed. i filled the 120 gb drive to 110 gb's
i booted windows in 1.45 seconds while loading:
at the same time
26 adobe cs3 modules
8 office 2007 modules

here is a link to me just loading office 2007 8 mod's(loaded in about 4 seconds)

just because people tend to say it's true...does not mean it really it is...you have to get in there and try it your self. everything is a guideline (so to speak) it's your choice to either ad hear to it, play catch up, improvise or improve...

 

So I did the restore to wednesday when everything was peachy keen on my laptop....

First thing I notice is this:


If it is indeed my driver getting corrupted could this be the culprit? I have to have this AV program running to get internet in my dorm so removing it is not an option

 

ok, so disable it for a bit and test your system...see if it does the same thing. we'll see ya when you get back in a few hours...lol

 

hopefully this will do it.....the only things that happened that could have gummed it all up is either itunes 9.0 or something with this file protection service

removing itunes now (since the restore killed it anyway)

 

yes, but your files & play list are still there. so don't delete them.

 

i hate itunes.

mediamonkey/kmplayer FTW

 

I always have a backup of all the files and lists (I have iTunes perfectly cloned on 3 computers haha)

 

Look at this CPU mark..

 

wow... can you share your OC settings?

 

CPU was 10 multi 1308:1308 fsb:mem

GPUs 680|1070|1700

 

i dont use itunes either. nor an ipod. and i barely use my macbook

 

nice run mandrake

 

great job! keep on pushing!

 

If we could mix BatBoy's driver and the Dox 182.46 drivers we would have the ultimate benchmarking driver.

 

haha, that sounds like a project...(especially as I know NOTHING about drivers)

 

New overall high score coming...

 

ya all this talk about benchmarks going around....guess I will have to start doing runs on my machine again haha - especially once that new ram comes in

I guess I should be going for 12350+ to play it safe?

I keep having my high gpu and cpu scores in different runs, just a matter of time before they happen together

 

Here you go...

 

IT IS ON!

I am coming for you!

 

he claimed back his max overall. but can he do the gpu again?????
