*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

i can't seem to pay to be an ati customer...they don't have my card..lol

 

What were your clocks on the GPU, oh and keep them coming!

 

Because of my problem with nTune.

Nvidia is offering a new version from 6.05 System Tools. Since 2009-11-19. Is a little bigger as the older Version (5 MB). (I think is upgraded for win7.)

That is tricky. After install, i have no nTune in NV Panel. In Startmenu of win7 is a Nvidia Entry > New Shortcut. Than opened a NV Panel with nTune.

EDIT: I think, my original Dell 186.64 driver had a older NV Panel.? Deinstall is now working.

 

Sensei Drake, 650/1050

I'll do more bench when I get home from work, that will be after installing the QX9300 and A S 5.

 

I wouldn't do more than 1000 on the memory during your initial tests. Looking forward to those benches!

 

Thats so boring. I found no good drivers for 06 under win7.

With 186.91 looks graphic/cpu test 1 and 2 good. But the graphis test 3 and 4 is bad. Graphis test 3 under vista 100fps avg.. win7 90.

Anyone a tip for me? I test now batboys.

 

I have not tested 06 nearly as much as Vantage, but found 186.24 to give me the best score in Windows 7 thus far. Got the score in my sig, nothing special, but my best so far

 

thx scook. i test now.

 

does any1 get random spikes when theres like 3-4 mobs in borderlands? everything on max and nvida pannel on application decides =s im using 186.82

 

i have a single card 8AA and i run fine ... ?

 

tried one gpu and still a bit choppy with more than 4 more =s what drivers are u using moo?

 

dox 182.xx

 

im on 182.82 atm from BB page, could u link one which u have installed pls. thnx again

 

google man ....

thnx for link but im like almost computer illiterate =/ no idear what dox is lol. do u suggest using it? and if so which one of the versions?

 

..........182.46

 

did anyone do any benchmark on xp/server 2003 ?

 

No but if you want I can try Win 95 or even DOS.

 

lol, im trying to install 3dmark06, if i manage to ill do some under server 2003, seriously, its awesome, no stuttering and its so fast. AND for some reason it actually recognizes the full 4gb of ram lol

 

Stick to Win2008 or Win2008R2, otherwise known as Vista or Win7.

 

server 2003 is rediculously fast.

 

2008 is much better. The server products are only faster because most unneeded services are off.

 

I agree mandrake, however I just did some benchmarking with server 2003 and windows 7 and 2003 got 80 pts more then 7 :O

imo, for an os that isnt officially supported by alienware/dell, thats very impressive

 

i receive my m17x today but i cant play or run benchmarks because i am doing a partition clone to my ssd before i activate windows is taking long time

 

i know this is for m17x benchmarks but i want to post this m17-r1 run is about the same high of the m17x i guess is a good record i take a picture with my phone because i don't know how to copy part of my screen

 

go to start
type in snipping
select snipping tool
highlight what you want

save the file
go to tinypic.com and upload it or create an account and do it so you can have records to access at anytime.

 

New record (for me anyways?) for M17x stock (with GTX 280m SLI) in Vantage

P10416

The 182.67 drivers have been giving me consistent scores that are pretty good at stock clocks. For Overclocked I have been getting stutter so can't draw any conclusions there yet.

 

i think i ate that score but again with a overclocked cpu...

i think i may put up the towels guys.


til i get a better cpu.

 

haha, Don thought you were supposed to have that new CPU in by now?

And yes, your CPU was overclocked, I have not been doing runs with OC on CPU and none on GPU but I am certain that the OC helped your graphic score

 

yes. it does. with a stock cpu. i can't break 10k for the life of me.

 

But the stock speed of yours (2.5) and mine (2.53) is nearly the same, YAY for threaded optimizations!

I would say over 20 runs I always had the GPU score 95% of the time over 10300

 

vs 800mhz vs 1066fsb

 

true, the memory is also ddr2 vs ddr3 for what that is worth

The long and short of it, is the CPU flat out affects the GPU score and performance

 

Here is Vantage QX9300 @ 2.9Ghz

 

anyone tell me if you have GTa vi in graphics when you try to change the settings is youre resource usage 1001 MB? im in sli but not sure it its showing up or something and bench of fps with all max? thnx

 

nice. i hope nvidia works that way as well.

 

It shows 1001 MB because that is how much video memory is available to the program. Currently, the way that SLI works, the exact same set of data is mirrored in the memory of both cards. So only the capacity of one card worth of data is actually used at a time.

Hope this helps

 

Allright, got Vista installed on a second partition.

Don, what was the driver you were using back when you were whacking your 280's up past 12k and can you provide a link please?

 

Think of SLI as RAID 0

 

Here's my latest Vantage so far.

 

great job...seems like it's all falling into place now.

 

It is. Getting there slowly.

Latest 3DMARK06

 

oh yeah...it's really coming together now!

side note:
ati & physx run

man im ready to start putting these to the test.
so to answer that question someone asked.
you can in fact run ati & gtx together.

 

Great job Rengsey! 13K is not far away now!

 

Hey John, no fair. This is the M17x thread.

You make me want to toss my POS M17x out on the road, after more than trippling my score

 

lol
im just waiting for mandrake to figure out how he can run vantage with physx's and be the first laptop ever in the history of laptops to do it. (with an ati card as the lead card)..lol

 

Yes eventually, and of course thanks to you. And dont send me a bill either. lol

 

I see you finally got your hands on a 5970!

When is the second one coming in? lol

And congrats on the scores Rengsey, you all keep this up and I am going to do something irresponsible and get those 4870s one way or another!

 

nah, that ain't mine...lol
mine should be here saturday
that's some guy in canada trying to sell his. he even did some of the benchmarks we do here.lol
