*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

Run 1920x1200 with and without 8xAA.

Oh for overclocking try techpowerup gpu tool beta 1, I used that to get my 10.6k on the 4850s. Once you have it, use the sync both cards clocks option for simplicity.

And push slowly, Im not sure what the heat or give (voltage allowed overclocking margin) on these is, and I'd probably avoid overclocking the memory; it's more prone to damage, and doesnt really benefit the RV770 series as much as clocks. Regards drivers, get the hardware ID for both cards and send em to the mobility modder guy, if they arent already in the list he can amend the modder for next release, the ID on these is likely different from the ASUS cards.

 

all this fuss makes me pleased to have just got nvidia lol

But im 100% interested to see how they come up against some of my benchmarks from clocking my cards up

 

Hmm i'd have to say for the cards to be overclocked, youl need to flash a margin for them, (MSI have flashed the G series ones to have 50mhz on each clock and ONLY 50 mhz so i dont think alienware have even implemented the possability of overclocking, soooooo if anyone has the guts, its worth doing )

The reason the tools keep reseting and the clocks not budging, is because you cant really overclock past the cards vbios with mobility series for some reason, (even i cant without a flash).

 

Just to let everyone know, I was on the 3dMark website last night and unless there is another johnksss out there, his DT rig is turning in like 46k on Vantage. Sorry to put you on blast, john, but that is damn impressive.

 

If they're like the 4850s from AW they don't even have Overdrive here. The lack of further pushing is likely down to tight voltage.

GPUtoolbeta does allow at least some overclocking for quick testing for these guys though, and they can look into perma flashing later

 

You wont be saying that if Mandrake walks up and boots your scores to oblivion, with the added satisfaction of having DX10.1 support and better HDMI audio support as well

Still, we'll get the next wave of GPU upgrades providing Clevo don't let Kobalt down
Coooome-on GT200/GT300/ATI 5 series mobile chips!

 

well tbh i used to get fedup with needing to mob mod drivers all the time, even if the 4870's are better at the moment they are only a stop gap my focus is on what is next as you say the 300 and 5XXX series

having 10.1 support imo wont make a huge difference to me

Show me a true Dx11 mobile card then im interested

 

*Cuts a 5870 in half and selotapes it in an M17x AW style*

Does that count?

Haha more seriously Dx10.1 support will depend on just HOW flexible the DX11 superset feature is; it sounds like one of the key benefits is it WILL use allow and utilise DX10/10.1 cards, but just disallow any DX11 only features, when rendering via DX11 render path, which is a bit of an improvement compared to the DX10 render path when it comes to compatibility.

I'll be quite happy to leave G92 behind, Im well aware of the limitations, unfortunately we need to wait. Hopefully, if there is no sign of decent progress from Nvidia soon, Clevo will at least talk to ATI, I mean it'd hurt a lot of thier performance ODM market if no one is buying them as they can't get decent mobile cards with them, by the time other manufacturers are adopting the 5 series, and they're still using G92 based parts.

As DX11 is open to Win7 users, that should help increase takeup also.

 

guys back on subject. this is benchmarks not GPU conversation thank you

 

here are a few things that can be compared (and therefore a benchmark?)

 

that's a real benchmarker. Benchmarking any and everything.

i'm working on stock runs right now since I overclocking doesn't make a difference in anything except vantage.

 

yeah, that's me

yes, lets see some of the t9600 cpu benchmarks as well.

<input id='gwProxy' type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id='jsProxy' type="hidden">

 

My m17x is at 3.4ghz. Since i can't OC the video card... here is my best result so far.

3DMark2006 : 15734 pts

with 9.10 driver (easy to install with the ati modder)

Well it's not that good .. for the same price as the 280 sli. Shame to AW !

 

3dmark06 is hopelessly outdated, people only use it because it produces large numbers (same reason some still use 01/03). Vantage or ingame benchmarks are much better tests Baron.

If you're using a dual core, then that scores actually not too bad.

 

my dual core at 3.125 was 14,007 and 3.2ghz was 14,4?? on 06

 

My score wll be, base on the lowest score, will be 7.3 when I do upgrade to SSD and good gpu video driver(or OC).

 

this is with all clocks at stock speeds, I havent tried this with an OC yet lol

guess I should (and this is with my SSD as well - 240MB/s read speeds....170 MB/s write)

 

*sigh*...... SSD's. How cool are they? Now if they just didn't require MY SOUL as a price tag-

On the benchmarking note, Rengsey, you have any of those game results in yet? I went through another night of not sleeping and have a few hours to kill before starting class....

 

I have break the 17k for 3DMark06. See Signature.

Now. I will break the 12k GPU Vantage. Thats hard...

@ drake: I think the KingstonX is not really better. This 17k with original RAM. I test the same config with the KingstonX next Days. Then i can see the different.

 

Good going. Mandrake's results will be hard to break. Im sure you will have to push to the very limit of your CPU and GPU. Good luck

 

Once I get my new motherboard installed I will get back to 3DMark06 and Vantage

Need to break both of Mandrakes records if I can haha

 

You know my score with that memory. Now I'm considering selling my processor.

 

Your QX9300? what will u use to benchmark then?

 

Yes. I have all kinds of memory, an SSD and my QX9300 sitting around doing nothing because it was supposed to go in my M17x. Now I have no idea what's going to happen.

 

Well too bad i live in belgium. after christmas i have some money again so if i find a good deal im buying QX9300 (i hope) I would like to get high scores as well

SSD's will have to wait untill they reach 1TB, i need the space

 

^^^^^^^^^^
This is funny!

 

Not really im serious. does anyone have a benchmark of the heaven bench i posted yet?

 

Please stay on topic.

 

I know but i always add something usefull afterwards lol like i will do with this post soon

 

Are we going to see any game benchmarks with the 4870s ?? seems more then a few people have this machine now but only vantage and 06 have been posted

 

I think they're trying to find a way to OC the cards first.

 

I will be able to bench SF4 , Resident Evil 5 , and maybe Crysis tonight. Stock of course..lol

 

Im not even concerned about OC GPU scores honestly . Especially not for gaming...

 

Here is SF4 benchmark. This is running at stock on everything, even cpu.



One question , by the look of the screenshot, am I in CrossFireX mode? I can't tell. Because the FPS is maxxed to 60.00. Is it runnning one card or two?

 

If you have Vsync turned on, it will lock the max FPS you get to the refresh rate of your monitor, which could be why you're seeing that.

 

Thanks for the tip here is the updated bench SF4

 

Just a *bit* of difference, right?

 

Is that good for SF4 running everything on stock?



Here is Resident Evil 5 and also everything at stock.



Tommorrow I will benchmark Crysis Maximum Edition

 

New Resident Evil 5 game champion: *Rengsey R. H. Jr.

i still need pictures of crysis benchmarks people.

 

what?? mandrake...you canceled your order?

and what ssd drive is that you have.

 

I have the Samsung PB22-J that came with my original M17x.

 

Question on the Crysis benching- settings to use? Specifically, AA, res, loops, DX 9 or 10, and....I am assuming Very High?

 

Run both those benchmarks with 8xAA as well.. What drivers are you running btw rengsey ? If there not atleast 9.9 for Resident Evil 5 then the crossfire profile was messed up for that game...

 

time for me to step to step up as well.

 

hmmm...How come I can't find you on this list?

 

this is the highest i got on vantage

Highest Run So Far

i can push the gpu more but not the cpu. i can maybe get another 100-200 points out of the cpu....

 

yeah but your GPU has lots of room to grow.

 

i'll push it more and see what's up but i'm still going to be bottom until i get a better cpu.......

 

Push your memora don. 1000 MHz is very low.
