*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

Very nice work Don, keep it up!

The OS really does not mean much....since regardless of which you are using, you hack it down to almost nothing to optimize the system for benching haha

For what it is worth, all my runs were done on Windows 7 RC1 - and I was the top score in the world for a few weeks till Mandrake just eeked out a better CPU run! lol (and like 5 points on the GPU)

As soon as my new motherboard comes in (tomorrow maybe) I will be back at it

 

lol! I obliterated your score. You're not going to be able to keep up this time around. You still need a class in CPU OC'ing 101.

 

Thanks Mandrake, I'll get back in the game once my gears are here.

 

uh huh

You got me by like 20 on GPU and 300 on CPU (with a higher OC I will add). I am obviously comparing your GTX 280m runs and not the 4870 ones lol

If you are teaching that class, I will sit in

 

me too.

 

the difference was 76 points in P overall, that aint quite a thrashing, when you consider the next best one is over 200 below my score

 

lol! That number rises every time you post.

 

that is the exact number, overall scores:

Mine - P12281
Yours - P12357

I know this because I have this as one of my home tabs to remind me!

Well I hope you don't plan on stopping after you pass that score.

 

Of course I do not plan on stopping. Just need to get a motherboard that will actually use my battery for more current so that I can OC again haha - pretty sure that is what killed my OC's

And I am ready for your magical CPU OC class...since aparently I am such a noob in that department

I may not be able to catch those 4870s, but I can at least try to have the best score for GTX 280m SLI

 

i'm also tryingto compete but I can only do gpu runs for know. Drake put up some dmc4 runs also. No aa 2aa 8aa. And stocked and overclocked.

I AM also going to overclock my x run and see what I get. I AM hoping for 6k but it doesn't seem likely.

 

Since you seem quite interested in them, I will do some X runs for you Don when I have my new motherboard in

 

Magical? lol! Don't forget to bring your magic wand.

I thought you said you already hit 3.2Ghz but it didn't survive and hour of OCCT. Did it survive the Vantage CPU tests?

I'll have time later. I did one DMC4 run already and was well below my previous score. I haven't tried to figure that one out yet.

 

I never ran Vantage, I don't like benching a clock unless I know it is stable

 

and your GPUs are passing OCCT with the memory set at 1080?

 

idk, never ran haha

Always used Vantage/06 as my GPU stability test since as we know, a GPU may throw errors but still handle a 3D load just fine

 

1080 is a suicide run for me. I like 1060. I hate even moving memory from stock because memory chips die so easy.

 

That's what the warranty is for. Give it hell before it expires.

 

I guess. I have a year. But still. Idk.

1090 isn't stable though. That I know.

 

wow! looking good don!

 

The ones still posted on the first page.

 

i'm trying to. Tonight after work. I will try nhancer and see if that will help or hurt. I reinstalled my os with a backup and tried again.

it's weird though cause my cpu is back at 3.212ghz. Which is what I was fine with when I got it then it wasn't working and now it is????

 

did anyone here try benchmark on vista and then win7? i think many did but no-one says the benchmark decrease on win7. my score went down 500 points.

 

Mine went down when benched in Win 7, but not by what you mentioned. Mine maybe by 100 points less or so.

 

Most of my effort has been with Vista. Quicker to test it when it's something your familiar with.

 

it depends on the system you are testing. But I haven't used x86 in a while. So I don't know what would you choose with that.

 

For the obvious reason. There's going to be some overhead for a 32bit app to work on a 64bit operating system.

 

very true.

mandrake what are you running tonight?

 

I did one run on Vantage X @ stock and my score was lower than before. More tomorrow, need to wake up early for work.

 

ok. I understand.

 

there we go


but still not on the top ten list.

 

well look at you!

Very well done sir, 3rd person we know of to achieve such a thing

 

Don, Can you get more Oc'n from your CPU? If you can't, then thats the end of that. Otherwise clock your CPU and definetly, your P Score will go up. That is what I am noticing(Low CPU score). If your CPU can't OC any higher, then the CPU is the bottleneck.

 

very nice don.

 

no my cpu is at it's max. i have a dual core stock at 2.5ghz and 800mhz. i pumped it to 1000mhz fsb to 3.125 and pumped it to 3.212ghz 3.25ghz bluescreens instantly after 15secs of stress. there's no more coming out of the cpu. unless i tweak the OS even more which doesn't seem likey.

but i'm glad to be in the 12k club.

thanks everyone.

 

nice don!

My memory max stable is 1065.

 

what happens after 1065. because i thought mines was 1060 at first as well.

 

nice don. Also the first one to hit 12K GPU without an extreme proc.

 

no extreme cpu
no voltmod


or does he have the mandrake lucky cpu's...rotflmao!

i still get a serious kick out of that...lol

 

Surprisingly I haven't heard lucky CPU with my current system. I did hear I have magical powers now and that's cool.

 

Lol. i want to aim for higher for the voltage mod is all i have left up in bag of tricks. i honestly wish i had some more voltage. getting a quad and pumping it over 3ghz(really hoping) i should squeeze 100-200 more points out of the cards.

with overvolting, how high did the core/shader go up to?

 

yeah, magical powers is cool.

 

i wish i can use eletricity as my power.

i wouldn't have to worry about less voltage as i would do it my self.

and i can shock who/what i want to.

 

Mandrake, Can you run 3dmark and vantage in vista64 with your Ati beast? I knew your old M17X with 280m sli used vista64 and your score still in the first place

 

Possibly this weekend. I'm running short on extra hard disks since two have recently died on me.

 

which ones?

 

My 256GB SSD and one of the 320GB WD drives that came with the M17x.

 

oh wow. I don't want an sad no more then. (no I still want one. Lol.)

 

I tried to get to the replace it since it came with my original M17x but unfortunately they wouldn't.

 

call samsung and see what's up.
