*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

I know I know. Lol. I will. I'll try it as soon as I finish this last run. (stupid me had my web browser open)

 

completely maxed...

i won't be able to get any higher then this unless i keep on running.

 

lol your staring me down the face

 

lol. I'm done now though. I know I can't get any higher.

 

Just finished reinstalling the trusty 'all-around' driver, 186.82. Its not the DOX driver, but for grins I thought I'd do a quick single GPU run. No OC - all stock.

 

need a better cpu then you would have me beat easy

 

argh. i am going to but back into my benchmarking run 06 stocked and overclocked.

 

I haven't messed with ram timings. Anyone know anything about it?

 

leave it @ stock is what i say

 

stocked 06

 

06 overclocked

i have to wake up at 8 tomorrow.
good night...

 

Still amazing you can get that CPU to 3219Mhz ..

 

now pump some AC through there and you'll be golden don.

 

i'm still up. I can't sleep lol.

yeah 3.212 is max. That's 257 on the bus speed. 258 is unstable completely even though it's 3.225ghz.

I will overclock high and overvlt everything soon.

 

You know you are going to wake up in an hour and feel the need to bench... You'll start your runs... one will turn into two... three into four and then next thing you know its 4am and you are reinstalling yet another driver.

Get some rest - hats off to the nice runs you have been churning out...

 

My tests on Weekend > 12005 GPU Vantage. (P12198) With better cooling in the garden. 10°

My Vantage Advanced Key from eBay is already registered. I just need a new one.

What is that Trick?

 

I will let you know for $50 USD!....or just check out the thread in my sig.

 

50$? This is a nice offer. But I can read. What a blessing.

 

be sure to update that sig handshake

 

Is it not working?

 

It is working, just not point to the best score

He is #3 behind you and me right now Mandrake (Don is 4th on GPU only)

 

I admit being extra tired today....I'm not following you.

 

lol at gpu only.

i'm falling behind.

 

I bolded what I presume to be him talking about his new best score. His sig does not reflect this yet though (nor has he provided any sort of link or screenshot to verify it)

Get some sleep man, even benchers sleep.... (sometimes)

the w90 seem to be in number 1 for gpu. I feel like overvolting now but I AM school.

 

I would expect the W90 and M17x to be able to trade blows now, they DO have the same GPUs afterall...... (the difference in amount of VRAM wont effect 3Dmark at al

Only thing that will seperate the 2 is the cooling and driver support

 

things are starting to get interesting yet again...the w90 is back...hummmmmmmm....

 

At least it's something to chase. I find my motivation lacking these days.

 

it's a monster. The whitebook should be in this also but the 4850 wasn't released to the public.

honestly if it was in this. It would be an ati disaster. Just neck and neck.


(btw, o think the whitebook would of won because of the way it is design to overclock but the stuttering and the heat would have been a problem.)

 

well..that's should be nothing for you to beat!...since you said you never over clocked your gpus, nor used any form of cooling or enhancements..let the motivation begin...

 

My GPU's were OC'ed for my 12.2K run. I just didn't keep going. I'll have more time over the weekend to catch the score.

 

I don't want to be left behind so i'm getting serious also.

 

he only has you by what....1/20 of an fps (in reality) (in the world of benching - that's massive - lol)
j/k

still both systems seem to be neck and neck now...for the time being...benching just gets better and better as the months progress...

 

Man that Marc guy pretty much came out of nowhere and started to blow some doors down. Wonder if had all the pages of overclocking instructions and posts from Vicious/Drake/john/don/moo saved into one little folder like I do when the time came =)

 

That W90 score is a monster.. Gotta love it ... I wonder if the X16/X16 will help them edge out the highest score...

 

i was wondering that very thing myself...x16/x16

 

The only reason the W90 has a monster score is due to the desktop CPU. You cannot compare apple and bananas...

 

Hey Joe the W90 DOES NOT use a desktop CPU... It uses a desktop chipset though ... I owned one so i know ..

 

HUH? Do you mean desktop chipset?

(read my sig....)

 

wow. w90 comes back and owns, we'll find out how it reached 20,000 3dmarks in 06 some day.

 

which is what your trying to compare...these are apples and better looking apples here....lol

 

The asus does not have desktop CPUs and a CPU doesn't matter in vantage ... Ghz does

 

I always wondered why the W90 was not doing as well as it should. The desktop chipset will absolutely help in better overclocking (a stronger NB chip - these got around/over 500 fsb with desktop cpu's.....SAME NB CHIPS) and PCI-e bandwidth (as well as Intel XTU should work)

 

Dam, the more I look into this the more interesting the W90 becomes!

Think it would be hard to swap my M17x for a W90? lol (jk, but would be fun)

(of course, is always an option if I cannot obtain 4870's for my M17x)

 

From a gaming standpoint the W90 always bothered me because of the 512 Vram .. At 1920x1080 your right on the verge and in some cases over the limit of 512.. had the screen been 1680x945 it would not have mattered as much..

For benchmarking(which is all you do with your machine ) then it will be just fine ..

 

Na, cant do it, 18" is just ridiculous, less resolution, an uglier laptop, and the girlfriend would be able to tell

mainly that last one lol

 

Its really not much bigger and certainly not heavier since the M17x is just a total HAWG for its size...

As for uglier.. Yeah while it was nice when i first had it compared to the M17x it wont hold a candle to it from a looks standpoint.. Though im sure there are plenty who would and do say the M17x is ugly ...

 

Their bios voltages suck for quads

dials have hit over 4 ghz

 

the thins is the x58 chipset is an i7 chipset. When putting a little laptop cpu in it. It can eat it if the voltage was there. It can hit 1333mhz on the fsb easily. Quad with your t9600 you hit 3.51hhz with 1333fsb.

dial hit 1600 on the fsb and the multiplier is 9.5x on the qx9300 that hit 4ghz. That is a voltage increase. I'm sure quad didn't do the setfsb at that time so i'm sure he maybe flash the bios with a desktop bios or some. Idk. I don't have the manchine.

 

all the qx9300 could not get 3 ghz or higher very easily 3.1 was the usual and was really good .... the e8345 hit 4.2 ghz on the other hand
