    Since nobody believes it can be done. CPU on Extreme Turbo. GPU clocks in PIC.

    I hit 11,990 with stock drivers.

    What resolution did you run it in? If I recall correctly the screen supports a max of 1366x768 natively.

    Well, in order to compare you need to run at the standardized resolution of 1280x1024.

    why is that unbelievable? 19% increase is not unheard of as far as i know specially if vented right and kept cool.

    Not that we don't beleive you but do you have the full version of 3DMARK06 were you can adjust the res.
    Without it the test is done at 1280x720 res by default.

    That's only because it can't "do" the regular resolution. If he has a spare monitor handy he could do it just fine.

    I know. :p
    It would be good even if it's at the screens max res of 1366x768.
    That's why I asked...lol

    I have the full version and I ran it at 1366x768 without an external display (G60jx thread)... Are you saying he can't use the trial version at 1366x768 unless he uses an external display?

    Even the full version defaults to 1280x720 and you have to increase the resolution to lappy's native 1366x768.

    But I still cant get anything over 9960 marks stock (after cleaning out my reg and reinstalling drivers from ASUS)... I'm sure if I bumped up the memory from the underclocked 1800 to 2000 it would break 10000 marks easily

    You can't change the res in the trial version, it defaults it to 1280x720 on a low res screen(1366x768)
    That might explain the 2000 point difference.

    ahhh ok good observation ... we need to know what res he ran that test at... assuming its 1280 since he used the trial

    Phased - upgrade 3dm06 so we can see your 1366x768 scores!! :)

    Or 1280x1024 scores. That's what everyone runs it at. I got around 10650 from my G51Jx, and it's overclocked but with 0x1FC enabled.

    Enabling it enables CPU throttling, disabling it disables CPU throttling.

    People posting 3DMark06 scores thinking they were running at standard res and therefore were directly comparable is exactly why I started the " G51JX-A1/X1/X3 GTS360M performance significantly lower than G60JX GTS360M - Investigation Thread" 9 days ago. It would be great if 3DMark06 would show in big letters that the test was NOT run at Standard Settings as 3DMark 2001SE used to do to help prevent people from making these mistakes...

    At max overclocks, ~10700 is the highest score I ever got at the standard 1280x1024 resolution - that may improve when nVidia puts out new drivers that support the GTS360M, but at this point who knows. I will say though that even with PhysX disabled this card does do better at stock on the 3DMark Vantage test than the GTX260M stock. Might be interesting if people did some overclocked comparisons that way - on 3DMark06 though it is well known that for whatever reason (and I don't think it's temps - but might be voltage) the GTX260M can just be overclocked a lot more...
