*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

yes it does . i'm stuck at 11,500 on the gpu test on vantage after 675/1675/1060 and no matter how high i raise the clocks after, it doesn't move. to break the 12,k

if you do the math it's about less then 5% which doesn't seem like alot which it isn't. but with benchmarking, everything counts.

mandrake
what's the highest you can bring your cpu to. that's was alot of tweaking with it. i'll do 2.93 also.

 

nah...it's pretty great in vantage as well..at least form the last 1000 or so runs i made using it....

fsb/memory/luck/superfetch/and gtx's only show over clocking in test 5 and 6 of 3dmark06(really only 5 technically speaking)

also..i have time now dadah

 

So far I was at 3.1Ghz but I think heat is going to be more of an issue. I'm guessing at this point that the ATi cards are running hotter. I can tell by just feeling the system.

 

@john
nice. I have time to.

i'm sorry i have to disagree with your statement...
yes the gtx only shows test 5 and 6 but that's with sli. with a single card, it shows a big difference. with my 9800m gtx. it was 2000 points. with my 280m single, it was 1000points.
@mandrake.

can you moniter your temps?

 

Cpu at 2.93Ghz

 

I didn't measure the GPUs yet but the CPU hit 68C.

Edit: Call me crazy but I think Vista benches better.

 

here's 3.125ghz.


i blue screen at 2,93 for some reason. i guess 950 cpu 1333mhz ram isn't stable.

lol

your sm3 is pretty nice. which at is strong at.

 

and i gained like 3k for my 9800m...

back in the day...wonder what i could make it do with new drivers..


stock 9800m gtx's at 3dmark06
15,891 no over clocking of gpus/cpus/fsb/memory/or bios

mandrake:
depends on which version of windows 7 your using as well...

 

Very happy with almost 16k 3dmark06 score with a T9600.. Xfire cards were the way to go (choice was between them and the 260's, go go dell europe)

I'm going to overclock the CPU a bit more to break 16k lol

 

16260 3DMarks with [email protected] and 9.10 Catalyst drivers, woot!

Tweaking's fun

Added vantage scores 9580, 11k on GPU but CPU draggin down the alien.

Shouldn't i get in top 10 ?

 

I had an even higher score and sent pm to op and still not listed in the top 10? Not sure what the deal is?

 

He is out for a bit due to laptop issues I believe. He will be back, fear not.

 

Another addict in the making.

 

He hasn't update my score either.

I believe that he has a MB problem.

 

Why is your default Clock and memory clock not matching your GPU and top memory clock? Shouldn't they be the same?

 

they were just downclocked using powerplay when he opened it. that's all.

 

Oh' * dumb *

 

no progress don?

 

alittle. Yes. I will post in a few. Just playing with the CPU right now to see if I can get my overclock on it back.

 

you cannot overclock as high now? same problem I had, see if it runs on battery or no

I am going to call their stupid a$$es tomorrow, done with the email tag. I need a new motherboard

 

Here is my latest Vantage score....

cpu 2.93 qx9300
gpu stock no overclock

Vantage : 10948

Are you referring to the different versions of Win 7 or 64bit vs 32bit? Vista also seems to tolerate a higher CPU OC better.

 

7100
7200
7226
7600
32 bit
64 bit

 

and which of those would you recommend John?

 

7226 beta seems the easiest to work with...
but 7600 rtm or pro retail takes some tweaking for some odd reason...

other news..
wth!!!!!!!
i bought my ocz vertex 120gb drives for 324 bucks each...them suckers are costing almost 560 bucks now! !
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch_v3.asp?scriteria=BA25830

 

good old supply and demand haha, look at how the price on intel drives has spiked up compared to when they were new

and all the 5870's went up too

That, or everyone is just slowly raising prices to make the black friday deals seem better when they are really a jump down to NORMAL prices lol

 

Take a look! STOCK GPU!

 

dammmmm. Nice work, what is the CPU at here?

But what about vantage? (the one alot more of us are watching )

 

Thats what i scored on my W90 .

Do some 1920x1080 runs on 06 and prepare to drool.. My highest was like 16,400 at that resolution...

 

Nice work Mandrake.

 

I have another one. Not doing Vantage because I'm using 3DMark to test my CPU OC. My runs are between 3.1Ghz and 3.2Ghz.

Once I find the sweet spot for the proc I'll do a lot more runs.

 

Im waiting for you to hit 20k .... /taps foot..

 

I predicted 20k a while ago for these cards

Of course...should have been doable on a W90 as well with the proper overclocks (which that x38 does beautifully)

 

Am I still lucky?

I'll post all my vitals with the next one.

 

wow...what a difference the dual core vs the quad...the scores are far better for gpu using the dual core.....it was the same way with the 9800m gtx...

You were never lucky, the processor was

Lol - I don't see something like an OC holding you back. With a gimpy QX9300 that would only go to 3018 MHz on my whitebook I still got P8497 in Vantage and 163xx in 06 on a pair of 3870s

 

Are the GPUs OC'ed in that one?

 

So I got another lucky proc? This one is going back will I get lucky a third time? lol!

 

Maybe a little ...


Its sad though the Max voltage these things put out is 1.163 it seems ..

With that XTU program on my M17 i crank that betty up till it explodes lol..

 

no one can over clock their gpus... or has this changed all of a sudden?

 

That one guy reflashed his clocks but i think they were artifacting all to heck and ultimately BSOD...

 

Here's more...

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5511114&postcount=560

he said his clocks where stock in that post. (gpu clocks that is)

 

I'm slowly pushing towards 3.3. Maybe 3.4 will be next and see how it compares to the T9600.

 

i would bet a quad core is far better at running 4 cores, but in this test...it's killing the gpu scores...

 

My 17668 score maybe broken shortly.

 

Couldn't boot at 3.3Ghz. Guess my luck ran out.

 

Yeah his SM2.0 and 3.0 scores are alot higher especially the 3.0s..

8961 vs Drakes 8338.. Huge difference there... And hes 200 points higher on 2.0...

 

2.0 works out kind of funny...it's allot harder to get up than the 3.0 score, but 3.0 can be influenced by a few other things as well.

 

So is this issue similar to what was happening on the 9262 when running a quad and SLI ? i thought i remember something where your numbers would fall for some reason or another compared to if you had disabled 2 cores... Its all a bit fuzzy now its been so long...
