Asus G73 Benchmark Thread

i would ditch diamond and jump ship if that was the case!

 

Price yes, performance probably not...
But yea i'm guessing it'll be so expensive that in the same money you could get 2 ati cards and beat it's performance...
I was really looking forward to the 3d-surround tech, but apparently the fermi cards cant even handle it properly..
At CeBit, they were showing demo's of games such as Shift running #d-Surround on GTX 480 SLI machine

If it's gonna take an sli machine of their highest end card to run a game like shift in 3d at acceptable frame rates then thats just not feasible..

 

ati has eyefinity which is a key winner for me.

 

johnkss, you said about ''too much voltage'' could be the problem...
Where can I check the voltage?
BTW, on AMD Clock Tool VDDC shows 1.1500v.
It supports 0.9500v,but I just can`t switch to it...
Could you help me Drake and Johnkss?

 

Well,definately,those white stripes are because OC.
I just made an OC like evensen did first ( 875 / 1200 ). I would just run 3dmark Vantage and see what I get,to compare with evenseen`s numbers.
As soon as the test began I got that black screen with white stripes. When I run on stock, It runs with no issue,but I think I get low score ( 7750 GPU SCORE ).
What do you think? Maybe a voltage problem limiting the OC and making the screen tear on games?

 

May a reformat help?
I`m reall freaking out...
I wish to play BC2 with Vsync on and get at least 35~40 FPS. Vsync could fu*k my plans...
Where`s evenseen to confirm the G73 performance at BC2?

 

in your case...did you even up the voltage for over clocking your gpus?

 

I dont think you will need to use V-sync on BC2... I doubt you'll be pulling a high enough FPS for there to be any screen tearing on that game

 

No, I never touched the voltages.
I don't think so the guys who made OC on the 5870 mobility raised the voltages either...Only raised the clock on the AMD CLOCK TOOL

 

It happens even if I get less than 30FPS.
Happens when I make fast movements with the mouse

 

hell.dx11 is a challenge to run at 1920x1200 with decent frames....

dont know what to say rod...
did you try that software from that youtube video?

 

What do you mean?
Didn't you read the description?
''Watch in HD. This is a demonstration of a new tool devised by Digital Foundry Ltd to clean-up video game footage with no v-lock.''
It's a tool for video editing...

 

Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibrN6gxvXZ0

 

yep..vsync and triple buffering go together

 

I would do 2 things. First I would try reseating the 5870. If that did not work then I would RMA it. Screen tearing when it shouldn't and the white stripes issues would be enough for me to send it back.

 

How can I reseat the 5870? I don`t now how to do it...
Besides,I live in Brazil,so,it will be to hard to RMA.
Guess I should handle with vsync

 

Reseating the card requires removing the system board. If you don't have any experience in it I wouldn't do it.

 

Hummm eurocom made me a price for an W860CU (clevo). Here is the spec
1600x900 15"
i7 920xm
4 gig ram 1333
Ati 5870
320g 7200 rpm
wifi a/b/g/n 5300
For 2600$ ca.

VS.

G73jh-A1 at 1750$ ca. still on backorder for 10 days, maybe more

What should I do ?

 

I hate waiting but even I would wait for that. You can always upgrade the cpu later anyway. Less memory, less HD, less screen resolution would do it for me (no blu ray either?).

 

yeah no blu ray either

 

Mandrake, I`m considering sending it back to the US...
Oh crap!
I just don`t understand,because I get normal score on 3dMark Vantage!

 

I`m getting some slow downs on BC2...
The FPS doesn`t down,so,is this a game problem?
The FPS stay normal
I just want to know how can I test the GPU to confirm the problem and send it back to RMA.
Maybe a GPU stress test?Wich?

 

tell you what...what games do you own or have access to right now?

 

Put very simply.

Do you get the white stripe issue only when you overclock?

If yes, don't overclock. You got a card that won't overclock well. Not defective, just luck of the draw.

If no, RMA the laptop. It should not do that.

Simple.

 

simple.....yes...
a two month wait......a bit harder to swallow...

 

Call of Duty MW2
Battlefield BC2
Dragon Age

 

I'm not 100% convinced I have a defective unit yet,cause the black screen only happens when OClocked

 

lol
mw1
battlefield2
gta4

no dragon age


i was going to test the same things you are testing.

 

why not use something like 3dmar, unigen,furmark or some downloadable stand-alone game benchmark like crysis,RE5 etc

 

I'd go with RJTech or a Sage from XoticPC instead. Read a few horror stories from Eurocomm, horrendous customer service. Apparently they charge for what is standard and free on any Clevo notebook and if you do get them to price match, they will purposely send you a unit put together horribly and just shrug, you get what you pay for.

 

it has to be actual game play.
all though heaven can be used. since you can do it in walk through mode.

 

damm....
I got 30 FPS on Dragon Age with Vsync on and 50 FPS with Vsync off. I HATE VSYNC.I`ll reformat my computer and see what happens.

 

vsync should kill frame rate. that is to be expected. if it doesn't look smooth something is up. Did it play fine at 30fps? If so, what is the issue?

there is to much emphasis on frame rate these days. smooth frame rate is the most important.

Also, I think alot of people having problems with this laptop are also overclocking. This thing is a beast. I understand overclocking for a benchmark to see how far it will go, but for day to day game playing this is just not necessary at this point.

Enjoy your laptop as it is now, a year or two down the line when it starts to chug on the newest games, look into overclocking but keep in mind any good overclocker also considers voltage, cooling and lifetime of the laptop. Nothing is free.

 

furmark would be the recommenced stress test for the GPU.

 

that's easy...
vsync works with your highest set up to 60 fps. and since at this present time..you cant do above 60 fps fluently..it defaults to the next lowest.. 30 fps.

 

With Vsync on it doesn`t run very smooth...Obviously,with vsync off it runs much more smooth,but the fu**ing ''scren tear'' appear...Don`t know what to do.

 

Still overclocked?

 

Nope
10char

 

can you just shoot a video and upload it to youtube..... or snap some pictures of the screen.
screen tearing is a pretty open field for interpretation.
and we still dont know exactly which one your getting.... not talking about the lines right now.
and what driver version do you see in gpuz

 

I just ran Furmark stability test for 6 minutes. Got 95 grades centigrades
max temperature and got 12 FPS average. No OC. 1920 x 1080 / 8x MSAA
I`ll test now with 800/1100. Is 6 minutes enough? I didn`t ran in Xtreme Bruning mode option.

 

i wouldn't do that...you'll last about 10 seconds.

 

Also, when troubleshooting, do not change the clocks at all until you've properly diagnosed the issue. No sense it pushing things farther when the default produces bad results.

 

I finished the test with 800/1100 ... ran for 6 minutes,same configuration. 13 FPS average.
Got 99 max temp. No issues (like black screen).
I repeat, is 6 minutes enough?
Any thoughts?

 

Can someone run furmark 1.7 and check the average please?

 

give that man a cigar! at 99 max temp...didn't think it was going to make it.
but it's still not getting to the problem....

 

6 minutes isn't long top test anything but I would not do it OC'ed and I would keep a close eye on temps. 99C is already too high.

 

Which temp was 99c? DispIO is the actualy core reading, and I doubt you got to 99c on that unless your benching inside an active volcano.

 

But, at games, I don`t get these temps...
Only on Furmark: its made for burn!

 

I`m starting to think it`s a software problem...
No issues on Furmark test.

 

It won't tell you anything you need to know. You got a 7750 gpu score in vantage, which is a bit low, but not bad at all at stock clocks.

If you haven't removed any bloatware or done any other tweaks to the laptop your vantage score does not surprise me at all.

Whether you have a screen tearing problem or glitched graphics card has little to do with comparing your furmark scores to others.

You have stated you're not getting white lines when you do not overclock. I'll just say this now, stop overclocking. Period. Don't do that at all anymore.

Now, on to the tearing issue, we really do need to see it to diagnose it properly. This has been said.

Stressing the hell out of your video card will expose issues, but overclocking it and then stressing it will CREATE issues. You don't want to do that.

What driver version are you running? Sorry if you've already posted it, I haven't seen it.
