*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

I'd love to upgrade mine to two of those.

 

well the thing is the quad is two dual core so I believe the overclock on it is not stable as a real dual core cpu.

 

no its the BIOS its self


There were Qx9300 that had hit 3.4 in the whitebook that were barely making 3.1 in their

 

I hit 3.2ghz in my whitebook. (calling whitebook... I miss you. Well at least the qx9300. Lol.)

 

Here you go. 7K single GPU

 

Nicely done Mr. Mandrake

 

The ATIs just love these synthetic benchmarks.

 

nice. What clocks?

 

Very nice score Drake...

Now push past that W90 Dual GPU run and you can remain king of the ant hill ...

 

650|1000 and 3.25Ghz. I just ran it with both GPUs and my score was 12442 so just under the 12470 score. I'm a little perplexed about my cpu score.

 

way to make the grade drake!!

cpu score...did you get above 80 plus degrees?

 

don't know didn't check it. I was thinking heat also but I haven't had any issues up to this point.

Edit: Trying it again with hwmonitor on. You should hear my 3 year old...Daddy benchmark! (he likes to watch)

 

CPU didn't go above 68 and my score seems to have adjusted itself.

So in case anyone had any doubts...



Here's the submitted link..

Awesome score man ... Congrats..

 

Thanks. I'm still holding back, saving some bullets. Plus now the motivation disappeared again.

 

lol. Nice mandrake. I know i'm no where near that.

 

Haha 5 hours later and its already gone...

Well hopefully the W90 crew steps up to the plate because aside from you theres no one else thats going to catch up from the looks of it ..

The 280s no matter how much anyone tries are not gonna be able to keep up either...

Sure is lonely at the top ...

 

Marc still had a 13k gpu score to beat...

 

Well you forgot the obvious and that's another M17x owner with the ATI cards and motivation.

 

I don't see a 13K score but 13K is well within reach.

 

It is on his "previous system" score next to the 12,590 run.

So why was the lower score posted?

 

Thats why i said what i did .. I didnt forget the obvious trust me on that ... Hopefully some more people step up to the plate but benchmarking on laptops is a pretty small niche atleast hardcore benchmarkers i should say...

 

He had a higher CPU score on the overall higher score.

 

Seems a little odd they are not talking about 13K but I see what you're seeing.


Edit: Hard to ask him also. 9 posts in the past year.

If the 13K is the goal I'll have more time later...gotta wake up early for work.

 

I never even noticed the 13k GPU score myself ..

Looks like you have some new motivation..

 

Don't think they'll catch our CPU scores.

 

If i dont have luck with your CPU 'Trick' im unloading my CPU and grabbing an OEM that much is certain .. Already have a buyer for the ES... I want that 3.25ghz .. Would like the ATI cards more though.....

 

Well hot dam.....the GTX 280m's dont have more than 12150 in them on the GPU....their day is past

RIP lol

 

Woah.. Are these settings similar to what you used to attain 18226 in 3dmark 06? If not, I'm guessing that too will be going up soon..its getting interesting..

 

wow. i didn't even see the 13k gpu.....

 

Yeah thats exactly what i thought when i saw the 13,000.. RIP is the correct term to use..

I just wish any of these clocks could be used on a daily basis for gaming and i would be a happy camper.

 

I have been playing around with my M17x tonight, all this going on I could not take it. Started benching again, still waiting on that new motherboard. Have not been using Dox as I was never really a fan of it, way to old. Using the Dell 186.64, I get 0 artifacting where I had horrible artifacting and issues with the Dox drivers at the same clocks in Vantage. Still a very occasional driver crash from the GPU OC so not going to push that further. I managed one low 11,9xx GPU run with this driver and a 13402 CPU score, which I was pretty happy with (running at 3.25, hasn't locked up yet) but so far highest overall I have had is P12225 or so. Not bad given a NOT Dox driver if you ask me, playing around with it more to try to eek out a good run Had several runs with GPU score over 11800 though - which made me happy

The stutter is killing me (and many of my GPU scores )

Here is the high CPU score. As you can see, the GPU score tanked this run, dam stutter raped it

I guess at this point, with the W90's and M17x with 4870s kicking into turbo here.......I am aiming for king of the ant hill with my lowly GTX 280m's haha, the goal: P12400 - as always, open to tips

 

I have saved my Result. This damn Vantage Key say me (Upload ORB): "This key is registered." I'm waiting for a new Key and dowload my result again.

 

Don't forget Scook, in addition to owning Vantage with the 280's, you also need to overtake my 3DMark06 score (with no GPU OC'ing)

 

It's a bug in the system. Look at my previous score.



It's swapping GPU and CPU scores. He never hit 13K and that's why no one was talking about it. Makes more sense now.

 

Motivation gone.

 

Haha so much for that ...

Atleast you made me laugh ...

 

I still plan on staying awake Thanksgiving day waiting for online black friday deals. So I will be benching to keep myself awake.

 

And I see you just HAD to get a higher CPU score than me

At least I had that for a night....lol

Congrats on the sick score by the way!

 

lol, thanks. I didn't realize you passed me. You must be using my trick now.

 

Benchmarking to me honestly has lost its magic .. There was a time when i used to love it but my main thing is i want my games to run fast and beyond that i dont really care to much.. I do like reading about others accomplishments though .. Also because i know how painstakingly boring it can be even when your surrounded with other things to do... I have plenty to do while the machines are running benchmarks i just dont find it very exciting in general...

 

That's the motivation part.

 

Well like I said, My goal is P12400, until then, consider me motivated!

 

Well i thought your part of the lack of motivation was based on the lack of competition and for me its just boring in general whether i was winning or losing...

I am not as competitive as i used to be i guess is a large part of it ...

 

Got a new high for me in 06 today, nothing to impressive, but a start

16716

Nice job! You beat my score but you OC'd your GPUs.

 

if anyone is interested, there is recently released "Stalker: Call of Pripyat" benchmark.

http://cop.stalker-game.com/?page=news&item=150

" This benchmark is based on one of the ingame locations – Pripyat . The testing process includes four stages, those utilizing various weather and time of the day settings (day, night, rain, bright sun). In order to test your system thoroughly the benchmark is provided with a number of presets and options including different versions of DirectX (9.0, 10.0, 11), screen resolutions, antialiasing etc, all at your disposal."


I thought I'll put my 2 cents... )

 

It would be nice to have some gaming benchmarks Nvidia vs ATI!

 

This thread seems to have that translation already. So far ATI is the Champion !!!!!!!!!!!!!
