m17 CPU comparison with 3DMark06

sure works for me

 

ok, give me a bit to run it. ill also do a WiC run too at max settings.

 

Aaight.. Im gonna nap - I'll look at the results when I get up.

Do 3 runs with Crysis and the scores will get better..

 

they were the same. so i just posted that. lol. it runs better when i play than with the benchmark tool for some reason.

 

i wouldnt take those benchmarks to heart at the moment. Im having problems with vista and everything is running all f'd up. I may have to reinstall or something.

 

reinstalled windows 7. OS is alot less laggy than vista. explorer was crashing constantly in vista. may have been a bad install but 7 run so much better,

 

but you lose your main partiton when C has vista and youre games and D is only tha partiton für W7 (dual boot)?

So I need to create a new partition for my games and so that if I dualboot I would have acsess to the games? Right? Or wrong

you should still have acess ... mount th drive so you can seee it in win 7 and go to the folder the games r in

 

T9400 is updated
But I am sure I can score even better!

All tips welcomed! (without upgrading CPU/GPU or so )

Hi!

My new personal record, 3DMark06@ default settings 1280x1024!!

QX9300@ 3,2 Ghz, standard GPU´s, CAT 9.1

16178!

 

THX I added it and now I will hurry to get my hands on the 9.1

Greetings
Julian

 

I am going to make a little Driver comparison on W7 as well!

I ran 3DMark06 and Crysis with:
Alienware Drivers
W7 Beta Drivers (8.56...)
9.1 Ewrecked Version

Now I want to add one (or more) more driver ...
I saw E-wrecked using 8.10 but I can't find it ... is it a "self mobmod" version?
Which one do I have to mod?

Edit: 8.10 works

THX 4 your help!

i thought AW didnt allow for overlocking? how are these done?

 

You can flash the AW bios with an OCZ Bios ... now you can OC

Greetings
Julian

 

but that voids the warrenty. but i guess that could be done
might have to give it ago my self when i decide to get one, need to find the extra cash for it

 

Yes their warenty is over^^

Greetings
Julian

 

hi their on the ocz bios:

can fsb be alterd
can multiplier be alterd
can mem timings be alterd

thanks for any help guys

 

As far as I know you can chance everything?!?

Greetings
Julian

 

ooo thats handy to know

 

No, with the OCZ Bios you can only change the Multi in the Bios!
With the Intel XTU (xtreme tuning utility) you can change FSB, Multi, Vcore, RAM Timings on the fly in Windows (only with xtreme Chips)! Problem with the Intel XTU, i cannot find it to download!

 

hi;

m17
q9100
4gb mem

3dmark : 12837

 

hmmm

13030 .

 

Which resolution? OCed? Do you have a link?

THX 4 the score!

Greetings
Julian

 

1280x1024 res
no oc
win vista 32bit
ocz 98xt drivers

i will try with vista 64 for scores also.

12808 today .. attached jpg.

cya

 

That seems quite low to be honest. I can get 13k without closing any programs at all. You should be able to get 13.5k at least with that cpu.

 

vista 64 and 12672 score..

your cpu is faster than mine, i think 3dmark is not using all the power of quad core.. any idea?

 

Ah, my bad, though it was a X9100 you were running

 

What I read up on. Vista 32 vs 64. Windows vista 32 wins hand down +2 or +3 faster. I seen 2 games that had +3 or +4 with vista 64.

There a reason why Alienware dose not setup the laptops for vista 64. Scores are lower.

 

Where did you read that ? Overall Vista 64bit is 10% faster than Vista 32bit.

Also Alienware DOES have a Vista 64bit option for M17.

 

my scores :

vista 32 : 12808
vista 64 : 12672

i made 10 or more test in both systems. vista 32 little bit faster at 3dmark. but the heat is lower in vista 64.. dont know why ? also i have laggy times at vista 32 with 3dmark after 5-6 test.

and when i disable the pagefile the score is lower.. with pagefile enabled 3dmark scores are little better ..

when i test and check the gpu heats, first gpu is hotter then the second, around 10 degrees celsius. idle times heats are not same, first gpu always 10 degrees hotter than the second.

ps : sorry for english.

 

Here a review I found on tomshardware website. It about vista 32 bit vs vista 64 bit. It was posted a few days ago

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/64-bit-vista-gaming,2250.html

 

http://64-bit-computers.com/windows-vista-32-bit-vs-64-bit-benchmark.html

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2280808,00.asp

Not only based on gaming performance but as i said overall performance.

 

What I will say again Vista 64 is not worth it. I only seen a few games that was able to use extra ram and it was only a few points. So for a laptop users do you pay for 8gb of ram for a few fps?

Untel software change over to 64 bit I rather wait for windows 7 and hope it better then Vista and hope ram prices are lower.

 

Why do you base all your information around gaming ?

If your laptop has 8gb ram then obviously you are not using it for pure gaming. Even when Win7 comes out 32 bit version will be still using 3~gb ram. So users that need their laptops for other uses than just gaming and they require more ram than that, since the system alone uses like 1~gb they will have to switch to the 64bit version.

 

I think they do?

Why are there no Q9000 scores? I have a q9000, running x64bit vista, and according to a file on my desktop from AW that had benchmark scores, it had only around 10,500 score... with 2gb ram, 250gb hdd... =/

I'm thinking something is a bit screwy on my end.

 

You got 10,500 for 3dmark06 with the Q9000? Mine states that it only got this and I have 4gb of ram and dul cards!! What is wrong with mine I am wondering!! No new drivers yet!!

the Q9000 has 4time 2,0 Ghz right? May be 3DMark has a realy bad quadcore support?

But I was sure the Q9000 would be faster (even in 3DMark06) than my T9400 and I score 12.188 on 1280x1024 ...

I would have guessed that there would be something wrong! But when AW tested it and "was happy" with 10k ... than it seeems to be normal

Normaly (ask MR.Moo xD) you will wait some more days untill they know why their score is so low and solve the problem.

Greetings
Julian

Edit: the missing Q9000 scores is because nobody was so polite to give me a link (from the score)

 

julian check my score now

 

uhhh... he voided his varenty

I am sry but you are still second^^ HaloGod2007 had mutch better T9400 scores with OCing befor he bought the Quad

Greetings
Julian

 

lol warrenty not voided set my my stuff back to default and nothing is changed yay

 

I think you will have to flash the cards to make the "changes" invissible?

But don't ask me^^ I never oced anything^^

Greetings
Julian

 

no as soon as you restart the clocks go back to normal

hey julian imma run stock on the right resolution this time lol

 

sry but we will NOT belive you, that you ran it on default

Greetings
Julian

 

dont worry julian i still cannot reproduce that 12 519 that i had on 1280x800 ....

 

Q9000 (intel quadcore 2.0ghz) with crossfirex enabled and 2gb ram.

All settings stock, my results at 1280x720 (3dmark06):

SM2.0 score: 4196
HDR/SM3.0 score: 4962
CPU Score: 3012

Total: 10619

Is this score decent for my system? I am running stock drivers. There was a CPU test, the first one I think, that got like between 0 and 1 fps... studdered like hell... is that common/ok?

I'm in way over my heads with this benchmark util, and don't have any games around to test it via those means, which I am way more confident and comfortable with...

Any suggestions would be nice thanks

 

yes because it uses your cpu as a gpu and that means it will suck lol

thats about average
dont worry it will game

 

Would you allow me to use the "link" you have and your result to add it to the "comparison", the Q9000 is still missing (everybody doesn't want to upload scores)

Julian
