Asus G73 Benchmark Thread

Yeah, I rounded though it just so happens the stock was like .2 .3 while the 10.3's were like .6 .7

I dont round the benchmarks I take with fraps because I copy the full decimal directly into excel.

For a driving game ~30fps should be pretty playable. With the 10.3's and the overclock 28fps minimum is saying a lot. However I know from playing on my desktop eyefinity setup that the stage that built in benchmark uses is a lot easier to render than some of the other stages. The tokyo night time stage seems to be almost 2x harder on my system do to the headlights and stuff.

I am going to go try out Dirt 2 with the new bezel compensation feature, I cant wait to see if the 10.3s let me play Ultra on my 6004x1200 res desktop setup. I was on all High before, but I admit I cant really spot the difference between high/ultra especially since your moving very fast.

 

Run Vatange, just the CPU test at stock and then run it with twin turbo engaged.

 

Yeah, I'm also somewhat puzzled over the 820QM;

I mean, didn't the 720 end up lying at 1.7GHz anyway? If so, what's the point of the 820?

Thanks Quagmire!

Mandrake, what's the highest you can take your 920 without altering the TDP?

 

If I remember correctly the multi was 19 so 2.53Ghz but that would be on all four cores.

 

roger that.

What the average/max temp during a "long" renderrun with that multiplier?

 

What do you consider "long" and I can test.

 

Eh, well.

As long as you can spare, really. It's not unusual for me to leave my pc to render for 24 hours. Now, that may be a bit much, but.. Say 4 hours at least?

Again, as long as you can, m8. No pressure

(PS: Thanks for the help!)

 

I should be able to do it later on today.

 

Drake can you run a passmark benchie with that OC'd 920xm

it appears your chip stays @ 3.2ghz via turbo boost even under full load on all 4 cores... shouldnt it only overclock so high when its under load on only 1 or 2 cores?

 

Which one? Looks like they have a performance test and a burn-in test.

I can overclock on all four cores since it is an extreme processor and I can change the multipliers.

 

how exactly does the overclocking work on this chip? you set the minimum multiplier per core to keep it at 3.2ghz?

performance test please

 

You set the maximum multiplier I think it was.

 

Here's passmark stock.

 

if thats so, shouldnt the processor only be running at 2ghz when under full load on all cores...?

sorry i meant with the cpu overclocked... 4218 cpu score is pretty nice for stock.

 

I just tested it again and under full load without touching the TDP the multi was 15 on all four cores, not 19. So only 2Ghz. Do you still want me to run the test at 2Ghz?

 

I oc'ed it to 3.2Ghz and the CPU score did not change.

 

I see... i wonder whats actually going on here... have you tested this on any other benchmarks to see if your scores actually increase from OCing the cpu?

 

Yeah, this is looking a bit weird don't you think?

 

hummm....
well go here and get your cpu bench on....
http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/english.html?/be_cpu.html

something in there should work....

 

6K CPU increase with Vantage.

Here is the proc temps after 1hr at 2.8Ghz. No additional cooling.

 

Anything from this decade?

 

yeah...i didn't look..just googled it.

told you which one to run already.
linx 6.4 with i7 turbo up / real temp temp monitor
20 passes at max ram.

but in your case for quick testing...run 5 passes.
for stability...run 20..can be done later.

edit and for the record...linx and prime95 are pretty old... yet they are well respected.

 

It appears as though the 920xm doesnt actually overclock... Just changes the max multiplier for use by the turbo boost option, am I right? so if you happen to be using the correct amount of load for 2 or 1 core turboboost it will enable the newly set multipliers... otherwise if you are actually using 4 cores, there is no actual overclock.

I wonder if there is a bench we can use to test this theory? maybe a bench that will only use 1 core or 2 cores, not all 4...

 

You told me to do that to test memory. I'll try it.

Edit: I stopped it because it hit 90 after 2 minutes. If I wanted to burn it up I'd run OCCT.

 

Honestly this doesn't make sense to me.

You'll have to define what over-clocking is then or I'm just slow today.

Are you looking to raise the bclk frequency?

 

Mandrake, thanks alot man!

As for the performance, I'm a bit confused atm. Are you saying that performance wise there is no difference between default and OCd?:

im not trying to get on you, just trying to get you to bench it correctly.
the gflops are calculated off your memory and cpu
doing it all stock gives you an idea of a starting ground.
then start clocking up a little to see if the gflops change.

if they dont change, then we know for sure that this over clocking is having issues.

we tested occt and it's good, but with one major flaw...you cant see what is going on and all it's doing is running prime and linx at the same time. which can be done by running prime95 and linx at the same time.

and you can't burn it up, the cpu will cut off before then.

 

No just in the passmark score. Don't know how it works and I'm guessing at this point it's a bad test.

Here is a stock Vantage run for the CPU:


Here it is OC'ed

 

Every benchmark I have run has showed an increase in performance when OC'ing except for 1...passmark. Why bother?

 

Ahhh, okay thanks...!

Was a bit confused there. How about temperatures? How much did you have to raise the TDP to reach those clocks?

 

I don't set it to a specific mark, I just raise it all the way up so that is not the limiting factor. It never reaches as high as I set it.

 

im with you on that!! seems to be working from what i have seen you doing.
no arguments there!

but if your benching anyway..does it matter?

and going by your first vantage run had me sold long ago...
i ran a test with the same specs and the 920 runs parallel to the 965/975 extremes in mhz...it's like what...100 to 200 points off in some benchmarks.

 

I'm just cranky because I'm suffering from the flu.

 

No it seemed as though you were saying that there is no performance difference between your cpu overclocked vs. stock, sorry i wasnt very clear.

thats what i was thinking... id like to see some benchmarks ran OC'd vs stock that are geared towards encoding video and multitasking. I think all the ones that have been ran are gaming benchmarks.

nice, i see that it has increased performance. did you overclock the GPU at all in any of those tests? or was the cpu OC the only variable?

 

trey, far as I know the 5870 is clocked at 700/1100 (or 1000?), so yeh. GPU is OCd as well.

 

wait what? your saying this 920xm benches similar to the 965/975 extremes? can you clarify?

 

The OC score was both GPU and CPU. I was just trying to point out the CPU score.

 

Have you seen this post? LINK

 

It appears to have made a hefty impact on that vantage score!

 

wow i see... guess this is strictly a gaming benchmark... does anyone know of a decent bench geared towards multitasking/ cad/ encoding??? i can only think of passmark off the top of my head...

 

sorry to hear that mandrake! hope ya feel better.

and that link says it all.


foot note:
g73 is using all four cores
mx17 is using 3...reason why...1 super over clocked core still isn't going to reach 15k..(speculation of course) but 3 fully over clocked cores will..(more speculations) and from the test i ran with using 3 cores...came to 15k...

trey, that cpu bench is a very well respected bench among the benching community.
along with these two.
wprime 1.55 32m/1024m
super pi 1m/32m

edit
Clevo D900X i7-920! @4ghz/ 12gb @ 1600mhz/ 3x 256gb intel ssds raid-0 trim hybrids/ dual 5870 Xfire/ usb 3.0/ 18.4" IPS 1920x1200/ only 4lbs total! <--you sure about that?

 

mandrake i hate to be a nuisance... but can you test a few of these benches OC'd vs stock?

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/244231-29-x264-video-encoding-benchmark

 

Not a nuisance I just don't feel well. Can you link exactly what you want run? Don't want to read through it.

 

i understand, and im not among the benching community. just trying to see the differences of this OC'd 920xm vs going with a clevo with the 920 desktop chip... I dont play any games, merely a cad/video editing rig... i know the clevo has many advantages, but its also 4lbs heavier, and doesnt have a backlit keyboard... which will make it almost impossible to use in the dark...

 

and you said my benchmark links page was old...lol


trey
i had a d901c with qx9650 in it.
simple.
1: you can't run stable at 4ghz and room temp..not gonna happen.
2: you might get away with 3.8 with a nice cooler
3: clevo is far heavier once you load it up with 3 drives.
4: video editing is starting to move to the gpu, since the gpu is like 100 times faster(speculation on faster by 100).

both chips perform pretty much the same. the dt version...can be used in a desktop computer...
your stock bench will be 20k, not you over clocking to get to 20k
your over clocked will be like 25k..i would have to go and look for the actual.

and the g73 has the rgb screen
mobile platform
with what some say has 3 hours battery life. your not getting that out of that clevo

select the SPECapcSM for SolidWorks 2007™ benchmark please

 

OK, downloading. On a side note I work for a college and we have a solidworks class. It's a real PITA when it comes to licensing.

 

then just do the cinebench
http://www.maxon.net/en/downloads.html

 

ok, you actually need solidworks to run this benchmark. So I cannot do it.

 

ok, downloading.
