    It is highly unrecommended to raise the memory above 1k.

    Lol you would probaby want your cpu going higher to hit above 11k in 3dmark dudeman. I hit 12k plus and my cpu got 3200 alone.

    What?

    No, no no. Memory increases only lead to more heat and less gains. The memory is the most susceptible to heat, so raising it that high is pretty foolish.

    Core/shader clocks net you the most performance increases.

    I think you're both saying the same thing. How about "It is highly recommended to not raise the memory above 1k." Or, better, "Raising the memory above 1k is not rcommended."

    Um, he already said "Highly unrecommended to go over 1k".

    I guess you read it wrong somehow.

    BTW MXM2 standard defines max speed as 800DDR while MXM3 is 950DDR max.

    Also note that if you're trying to max out 3Dmark, the score is pretty heavily CPU-bound. I remember upgrading from an 8800GTX to an SLI rig with 2 cards - and my 3Dmark barely bumped. But my actual framerates in games soared.

    It was only when I got an E8500 and OC'ed it to 4Ghz that it made a big difference to my 3DMark. That taught me a big lesson: 3Dmark scores and framerates in real games are only loosely correlated.

    z

    As told many many times by me and others in many threads. For instance a 2.3ghz dual core scores roughly 2k to 2.1k while a 3.4 scores roughly 3.2k.

    Are you at all capable of substantive analysis or contribution - or is it always going to be these snide little nonsense remarks?

    The OP is using 3DM06 as his primary metric. Not everyone knows the degree to which 3DM06 is CPU-dependent, and he may be chasing scores via higher GPU overclocks when he really needs to be looking at a faster CPU.

    And while it may be "obvious", clearly the OP doesn't know. I, for one, still find it surprising that the supposed #1 benchmark for VGA performance weights CPU scores so heavily.
