Asus G73 Benchmark Thread

Thanks, this has been an internal struggle for me for a few weeks now (since my tax return lol) but it feels good having an outside opinion (and someone who has used more than one SSD)

I will ride it out on the x128 - has been serving me well

 

I'm more interested to see if there is a difference in random writes.

Keep the tax cash for the upgrade to the i7+5870s.

You'll see more of a difference with that. 16K GPU isn't far off.

 

Given that I got 7800 gpu on a single 4870 with virtually no effort I would say 16k for a pair of 5870s should be pretty easy

 

Here you go John,



Should I bust out the AC unit? lol

 

lol nice one mandrake

 

Better get it colder.....

 

hey guys, just got my g73 from BB 1200, i was able to oc the card with no issues but cant oc the cpu on evga leet, every time i raise the multiplier on any core it goes back to original, what am i doing wrong.

 

You can only change the multiplier with the i7-920XM.

 

HAHA! force once mandrake has a lousier notebook than me!

 

Believe me I've considered buying something to hold me over. Hoping I get my G73 back this week or hope at least the 5870s are announced for the M17xR2.

 

if the R2 gets 5870s you buying another one? lol

 

Probably, 4th one for me.

 

I know this isn't the right place but I'm posting anyway
What's the hold up with AW putting out 5870's?
Every other big gaming laptop maker has them out (Clevo,ASUS to name a few)
I would even like to see a single one in the Mx15, AW losing a lot of cred and sales for not having these out yet.
Rant over
Now back to the awesome G73
Really tempted to buy the gimped out model from BB but have to check one out with my own eyes,I hear the lower screen res is not to good which would be a deal breaker.

 

You can always buy mine when it comes back from repair.

Regarding the AW situation it will be an option for the M15x. The latest bios update added support for the ATI cards. The release will happen within the next couple of weeks and possibly as soon as Monday. From what I'm hearing this is causing a lot of stress for the AW engineers to release a product that will not have some of the issues the past AW systems had.

Dual 5870s are coming and when they do you'll see Vantage GPU scores hitting close to 17K when OC'ed and 14K stock.

 

Mandrake you swap your laptops like it's nothing.
And repair? What you do?
Ever since i got my Clevo 901C i sort of soured on 17" laptops (unless of course the right deal came along )
But 15" are what suites me best for my needs.

 

Glad to hear they are actually testing something before releasing it this time at least....

 

yes!
get it colder and knock out some real competition. people in your caliber or higher of over clocking.

now get going sir!
(provided that's 1280x1024...that is...lol)

so i think he still beasts you sean473...lol

maybe...but not so much a loser notebook against the rest of the world. (with the same gpu)

SEARCH RESULTS:

 

Just lost some lights on the system is all.

No it was at it's native res.

 

damn! i was hoping you have connected to your tv...

 

lol didn;t get that.. mine gets 5000 in 3D Mark06... way better than less than 1K Dell E6400... unless u failed maths

 

looks like you failed at grammar...it's (math) not (math s)

 

Can anyone that plays Bad Company 2 *ONLINE* please share their settings?

 

Those are the settings I use. I never experience any hiccups when playing online, it plays smooth as butter.

 

do you know what fps you get? i have mine on similar settings and it gets pretty low fps and laggy in really full servers, same laptop

Thanks for posting the screenshot

 

With his settings he should be getting a high of around 65 or so and a low of 45 or about. The FPS on the HD5870 is pretty stable, doesn't fluctuate too much.

 

this would be in directx10 right? hmm i wonder what is going on with mine, will have to test it some more

 

Check your powersaver settings. As funny as that sounds, make sure you are on entertainment or performance. Once I went from taking notes in school to plugged into game and I was all worried my G73 crapped out - it was because I still had it on battery saver.

 

thanks i will do, via power4gear? not sure i reinstalled it after fresh install.

 

Code:

[WindowSettings]
Width=1600
Height=900
Fullscreen=true
RefreshRate=60
VSync=false
[Sound]
Quality=high
VoipEnable=false
SpeakerCount=0
[Graphics]
Effects=high
Soldiers=high
Vehicles=high
Overgrowth=high
Undergrowth=high
StaticObjects=high
Terrain=high
Shadows=high
Bloom=true
HSAO=false
MSAA=2
Water=high
MainQuality=custom
Texture=high
DxVersion=11
Aniso=2
Detail=high
RenderAheadLimit=2
Fov=70

I get a steady 45fps and 50 often.

 

ahh you have the BB version with the lower res, i am running in 1080p, thanks for pasting though might try dx11

 

actually, UK English does call it math s when referring to the subject. Saying math for both the object and the subject is US English.

Now...back on topic.

 

lol@math s

 

lol @ US English

 

People got to realize more people than just the citizens of the United States use these forums.
For some people English is a second language(like me )so ease up on members that might spell some things wrong or use them in the wrong sense from what they were intended.
Sometimes things get lost in translation.
Know back to the G73

 

Did you do that on purpose?

This is what happens when I don't have a system to post scores...I post nonsense instead.

 

More nonsense: It's the war of 1812 all over again, just without the trade restrictions

OT: You can study the war of 1812 using your G73

Q

 

always jumping on the example...tisk tisk tisk..

it was a joke!

but yet again...we all jump on the example or joke as if it we're the topic at hand.

i notice this more than i notice the who comes from where and what is considered proper english or not.

side note:

drake...when you getting your system...hell....any system worth benching..lol
i already benched my 8430 but came up empty...no gold trophies there...

 

Who knows. I ordered a M11x and external monitor this morning. Benching will resume shortly.

 

damn...so you'll have to create a m11 benching thread or is it already created?

external monitor huh....sounds like someone may try to get in an extra bench or two on the gma hd4500...hummmmmmm...lol

 

Yeah DR650SE is running a M11x benchmark thread and I have a small score to settle with him.

I got the monitor because I always wanted to pick up 120hz monitor, the M11x screen is too small and I had a coupon.

 

No not really!
Didn't mean to offend anyone or get carried away.
But it's all your fault with no G73,no benchmarks!
Kidding of course

 

cool
i wanted one as well...looked at them and the 240hz tv's, then jumped off on some other project..

 

Let us know what you think of the M11x. I had one ordered but remembered I was poor and canceled it

 

That's always fun isn't it?

 

Didn't you just graduate? Time to start rolling in the $$$!

 

graduating and getting the job you LOVE to do are not always the easiest of combinations at first....

 

And still have a month of fun before I even graduate haha

If I was not graduating soon I would have got the M11x absolutely since the size is great for class. But at this point it would just be another toy and harder to justify

 

Try harder....justifying things to yourself is an important life skill

 

your doing the right thing.

 

Not far off now. In 2011 you'll be buying any toy you want.
