Asus G73 Benchmark Thread

at 13 fps...you can't tell anything.
but you know...that test pretty much said your card is working. so i retract that last statement.

what driver are you using?

 

Reload the OS if you haven't done so already. Also do a power drain, never hurts.

Edit: I think we've gone way off topic into troubleshooting. Might want to start your own thread for help.

 

10.3 preview

 

I already did a fresh install when the notebook arrived here, but I`ll do it again.
With 800/1100 I get normal score on Vantage, 8550.
Sorry,but,what is a power drain?
My English is awfull

 

Unplug battery and AC then hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Then plug everything back in. That along with resetting your bios back to factory default are some common troubleshoot techniques.

 

Damm, I forgot my GPu OClocked and ran Frumark benchmark.Ok, I already stopped OClocking...

 

The led will turn on for a moment? I need to know if it worked

 

Really? Shouldn't be enough power if you unplugged everything to do that. Anyway you just test for the same symptoms again after that.

 

I know, I just tought there will be little power reamaining for BIOS reboot and something else.
Sorry my english is bad...SYMPTON = tearing,black screen,etc?

 

This says there is nothing wrong with your video card. Nothing. 8550 is exactly in line with others at the same clock.

Screen tearing sucks, VSYNC makes it go away, at the expense of FPS. If it's smooth, run with VSYNC, if it's not smooth put up with the tearing.

 

I want to solve at least one problem...OC or tearing...=/

 

Guys,my gaming experience in BC2 is being pretty weird...
The screen tearing doesn`t go away even with Vsync on and I get some slow downs (but doesnt affect FPS).
Besides, I think I`m gettin low FPS...
Damm

 

Dragon Age runs good,except for the screen tearing.

 

you should probably move this to the gaming forums.as it's kind of counter productive right now....

http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

you'll probably find what your looking for there.

 

Guys, I heared Win7 Ultimate ''manages'' the GPU better than Win7 Home Premiuim. Is that true?

 

No, it isn't true.

The gaming forum is a better place for your questions. Please move them there.

I do personally believe there is nothing wrong with your laptop at all. I think you're just seeing screen tearing at play for the first time. And I think you suffer from 'i want to overclock like everyone else and get the same frame rate or else the sky is falling' disease.

Just play your games with vsync on, turn off fraps and enjoy them.

 

I had to turn vsync on for dragon age too. It plays fine with vsync on.

 

You`re right...BC2 I can`t play well even with Vsync on...I`ll just reformat using the recovery disk and see what happens.

 

I would like to thank my cooling system for the awesomeness that is my vantage score

 

Good job! Top 5!

 

Awesome ! damn I can't wait any longuer
Back order Eta 8 days

Edit: can you make a 3dmark06 with this OC ? it's stable ? what kind of cooling is that ?

 

Yeah I'll get a 3dmark06 up soon...yeah ran stable at those clocks. 875 i got locked up

Cooling system is a custom stand delivering most of the output from a window AC unit directly to the bottom of my laptop :yes:


*edit* and by custom stand I mean a little table, some boxes and some books

 

Thumbs up on the window unit. My new "benching station" is all ready except for the portable AC unit I bought. Still waiting on Walmart for that one. lol

 

seen one person hit 9.2k on gpu
i was going to say....
"like, what the hell mandrake doing over there"
lol
we should be seeing 9.4k 9.5k on gpu here in a minute once you get up and running with the chilled air.

got me a phase change coming next week..subzero here i come..



side note:
for the new comers to this thread..."oh yeah....it IS that serious"
lol

 

Maybe I will crack the top 5 again when I get my replacement unit tomorrow.

 

I need to break down and buy a vantage key i guess, I did that run on 10.2...have 10.3 installed now so there might be a difference

 

if you get into benching, having your own key is a must, for the time we put into it, the cost of a key is an afterthought and a silly reason to not have submitted scores haha

 

What happened to yours?

Guys, I just can't understand whats wrong with my GPU. I reformated my notebook.
The first think I did after intalling drivers and some bloatware was run 3dMark Vantage.
I got only 7500 GPU SCORE,using the ATI driver from Asus disk!!
The time I got 7700 I was using 10.3 preview.
I just can't understand,because when I overclock to 800/100,I got normal score, 8550.
Any thoughts?

Even, can I just overwrite the drivers or should I uninstall the driver before intsalling 10.3?
Thanks.

 

it is normal for the score to fluctuate a few hundred points

that is why you have to run alot of runs once you get your settings good to get the best possible score

 

8500 is NOT A STOCK GPU SCORE!
7500 range is a stock gpu score

 

I guess he does not understand that overclocking boosts the performance and therefore the score......

 

I know it...
When I called 8550 as ''normal score'' I mean its normal compared to other OClocked GPUS (800/1100).

normal =/= stock

And I thought 8000 was the normal score for stock GPUs

 

Sure I know it ¬¬

 

none of these scores are normal..it's what we as benchers make of them. and the range is what we call normal or better than normal or non performing.

your in the performing range, but you can't expect to hit the super high numbers and your just benching your laptop on a kitchen table....you have to spend time/money/and long hours trying to fully understand the limits of your machine....but before you can even get there...you have to decide...are you going to work on screen tearing or benching....you can't do both because one cancels the other.

 

Yes, that's what I'm talking about...
I know it.

 

???
Maybe one problem is connected to the other!
I just reformated my notebook and wanted to check if my performance was improved,it doesn't mean I'm ''working on benching''. Besides, if my score was too lower,maybe my GPU is bad, and maybe thats the reason for tearing.
Low scores could show that something is wrong, and imply in another problems, like tearing,for example.
I'm not saying my scores are too lower, but if they were, they would be a clue.

 

the odds of you getting a graphics card that is defective causing it to simply perform less are pretty much impossible

things like artifacts are signs of a true hardware failure

 

I'm gonna install 10.3 drivers tomorrow and check if the tearing continues after reformat.

 

I don't think it's impossible to happen.
I have to check all the data I could.

I just can't understand why this tearing is happening only with me.I searched on the net but coudn't find, what can cause tearing? I know its because the difference betwen monitor refresh rate and the GPU frames,but what cause this?

 

The card wont perform slower if it is not working, it will just not work at all. The driver will not remap around bad cores like sectors in a harddrive.

 

Maybe it's working, but not properly.Maybe it's a software problem.Just dunno...

 

almost certainly a software issue

 

to get the best help...the gaming forum is where you have a vast array of folks with the same exact problem your having...we are just trying to put you on the right track is all..not trying to down you or make jokes.

but umm..seriously though...talking about screen tearing in a benching thread is really counter productive since most bench with a bit of screen tearing or slowdowns...exactly what your trying to get away from

 

and you still havent posted a picture or video yet??
rotflmao

that's another reason why we are all at a loss...



side note:
damn, when did they take out the delete post button???

 

I'll stop posting here.
I don't have a camcorder.Its not easy to see the tearing, I already tried to ss.Only with a good quality camcorder.
I just posted an image of my benchmark 3 days ago,nothing more to post.

 

do you have a camera phone?
another laptop with a web cam
a friend with a camera phone

 

camera phone won't show the tearing.
Like I said, it has to be a GOOD QUALITY CAMCORDER.
I already tried with my N97.
But,the tearing is just like that images you posted,but happens really fast.

 

your best bet...and i know you are not going to like this.....but.....rma it my friend. there is just so much the consumer can do. and shouldn't have to do with a new computer...one of my 9800m gtx's did that....i tried everything but nothing...so i rma'd it...got a good one in return.

you can see if they can come out to you or have a tech in your area to replace your card...if this is not an option....then you will have to wait the long process of sending it in.

you can try xp/vista 32/64 win7 32/64
if it does it in all of them...you have your answer.
although it appears you have tried it all....

 

No techs with Asus. Only option is to RMA it.

I am starting a second week now. YAY

 

''it appears you have tried it all'' Why do that appear?
Anyway,I live in Brazil,making things difficult. I only tried win7 64.
Does the OS make diference? What I don't undesrtand is that everybody is using Win7 64 and have no issues with tearing...
I just reformated my notebook(ASUS recovery disk),gonna try RE5 benchmark now...
BRB,and wish me luck!
