*OFFICIAL* M17x Benchmarks RESULTS *Part 2*

Is that the highest score posted on the french site?

 

For now, yes it is,it was the first M17X whith crossfire too.The guy is sleeping i thing he will post new bench soon!Tomorrow may be...

 

Im thinking of making a youtube movie for this thread so people can come participate. something to do next week, ill edit one i already made. i know that sounds lazy

 

^ Why !? Totally would love to see it ! ))

 

is it ok. if i just drop ramdon benchmarks on here. i don't see alot lately and i think something is better then nothiung. but there might be alot of post on top of one another???????

 

Hey guys- sorry, been away for a while.

Don, will try to get that run in for you soon.

Am trying out that whole Polyphasic sleep thing and started today, so the next week will be lots of zombie-like computer staring, which could be good for benchmarking....

 

Technically yes. You can't just use a program and change the clocks. The only way you can OC in the M17x's 4870s is to reflash the VBIOS with higher clocks, as two people have already done.

 

here's a single stock gpu overclocked run of 06. i haven't seen a benchmark in a while here on the 280m.
3dMark06

 

So, can someone tell me why I cannot get Crysis to run benchmark? I've tried since Quadzilla requested this benchmarking.

I tried the full install and also the demo install. Both same result and does not bench.

1)I downloaded the Crysis benchmarking tool on the first page of this thread.

2)When I set the settings and hit the Benchmarking button, it takes me to the game scenerio and i'm able to play it. ...Can someone tell me a DETAIL step by step? I want to benchmark Crysis. Thanks in advance.

 

I remember there was two versions of the Crysis benchmark. Link the one you are running.

 

Mandrake,

The Crysis benchmarking tool is on the first page of this thread.

 

I wish I still had the system to give you the step by step detail. I can try it on my Thinkpad when I get home. When I was doing the benchmarking myself the only confusion was there were two versions of the benchmark.

I remember I had to install the game, get the latest patch for the game then install the benchmark. Nothing more than that.

 

I remember having some problems with the Crysis benchmarking tool. Have you tried running the Benchmark_GPU.bat and Benchmark_CPU-bat files in the Bin32 folder of the game? This benchmarks use the last config you used in-game.

 

Here are some numbers for the ATIs 4870. CPU is 2.93xxx Ghz

Single 3DMARK06




Single 3DMARK Vantage





CrossFireX 3DMARK06





CrossFireX Vantage

 

Has anyone figured out how to OC those GPUs yet? They want it!

And what speed was your CPU for those runs?

 

Edited my post with CPU speed


Seriously though, I need to start tweaking the GPU. I had BaronGalf give me some info Using ATiTool , then edit it with RBE and flash it via usb dos boot. . ?????? I'm hella confuse. Isn't there a better and easier way to OC the GPU?

I'm also sure that once I upgrade the Ram and get SSD, my scores gonna sky rocket...lol

 

My brother is looking into buying an M17X but we have no idea what to get... The ATI cards or the GTX280M SLI?

For $100 and not benchmark records yet, not sure if it's worth it.

When are Mandrake and others going to post some bench with these new cards...???

 

Mandrake isn't getting them. We will just have to wait and see what people come up with

 

I will challenge your scores ren

 

I can't break 1000 on my memory for some reason. My screen just gets all different colors and even though the GPs goes up, I don't finish the run cause I don't know what's causing it.

 

Moo also wants some competition for single GPU scores if you get bored Don

I will throw him some as soon as my new motherboard comes in....pretty sure it is killing off all my OC attempts as I am not getting adequate power to the GPUs/CPU without the battery being utilized properly

 

I'd call Dell on this. Even if you had to fudge the truth a bit.

 

less than 1000 on memory is definitely weak sauce...the threshold is 1100

Call Dell for sure, mention the different colors part, not so much the not breaking 1000 MHz

 

lol. Well of course. I'll call them. But I just want to be sure it's a bad memory. What I will do is stress it out more. It's alittle weird how it works.

I know I have moo to compete with as well. 6300 on vantage gpu I believe. I'm also putting up my ebook and safer for more compotition. I know it should be the m17x but we need some stuff to compare our scores.

 

stock gpu overclocked cpu
3Dmark06
Vantage

 

just to ask. did anyone try benchmark on windows 7 ultimate x64?

 

Mine were run on Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit- check the first page and/or the last few pages for details.

 

can't past 5975 on single vantage gpu.

 

New Vantage Sli

 

hmm i just tried to run Vantage in windows 7 with 2 different drivers and in the first scene the water is on the ceiling :S

Normal games are fine tho!

weird

can you tell me your score on 3dmark06? because i cant find it

 

Haven't run 06 yet- I can if you'd like. OC'd or stock settings?

 

run both.

 

overclock only the cpu (tell me your final ghz ) and gpus in stock as i never overclocked them anyway. just for comparison.

 

New clean driver install and this is correct.

 

1) disable intergrated graphics in bios
2) be sure sli is enabled
3) all those mhighest scores in here are with qx9300 oc and gpus oc

i reached 16600 once with qx9300 set at 3.125ghz and no gpu overclock (this was on vista-win7 is another story)

 

screenshot? You could replace Scook in the list.

 

I know that's definitely possible. I hit 16.8K with just straight CPU OC.

 

here's some benchmarks with my sager np9262 vs my alienware m17x.
Sager np9262 9800m Gtx Overclocked 3dmark06
Sager np9262 Overclocked 9800m gtx single 650/1625/930

M17x single 280m gtx overclocked 3dmark06

M17x Farcry2 overclocked Single gpu
M17x Farycry2 Sli Stock

 

I'm kind of surprised at the CPU score in 06 w/ the E8600. I would expect three times that score.

 

nope. my e8600 never broke 3000 in vista. but in w7 i did hit 3100 sometimes.

also i know more then i did before so that would help out alot.

and my cooling as on another level with the m17x and a t9300 vs a e8600 on the sager.

 

no one likes the m17x no more.

how is this for an x run
http://i35.tinypic.com/200ft5.jpg

 

How do you do and X RUN on Vantage?

 

go to options and do extreme

please let me know what you get. that was overclocked. i will do stock to compare with yours.

 

Here's the New 3DMARK06 Score 16453 at 3.0Ghz

 

i'm just after your gpu scores for now

06

 

how come your at 8x and not 16x?

 

oh the pci bus on the gpu-z screenshot?

i don't know hoesntly. i just thought it was a motherboard thing. but it's weird how it is stated. it's pci-e 16x 2.0 @ 8x 2.0
in win7

 

that will kill your over clock as well...unless the 280m's are suppose to run at 8x only
