Overclocking the GT 555M card.:-)

Hah I would like to see that. Plus I would look at performance numbers rather than GPU-z.

 

Sorry but could you explain me what you meant with this xD?
Do you mean i cant overclock it with the 2GB version im getting?

 

The card you are getting is 3GB, not 2GB - take another look at your specs And further discussion suggests that it doesn't matter, because more than 1GB of video memory is an overkill, regardless of OC.

 

Ok i feel stupid now :$
What do you mean with "because more than 1GB of video memory is an overkill regardless of OC"

do you mean it will harm my GPU if i overclocked it if its above 1GB :S?

 

No, it has nothing to do with overclocking. In fact, those recent comments about memory are not exactly on topic, so don't worry about it

 

It just means the GPU won't be using 3GB of VRAM. The amount of RAM has NOTHING to do with overclocking speeds. Nothing to worry about, I was merely commenting on Dell using it as a marketing gimmick. Other companies like Sager are using the 555m with 2GB of VRAM which I can understand for this card.

But yea, offtopic, my bad...

 

ah thanks guys

 

New Beta driver 275.50 out...here the benches in 3DMark11:

With my oc-settings:




And card max.OC:

 

I love how it says your system is comparable to others based on the performance...then shows you a graph where you are in the top 10% or so...

Nice results.

 

Wow! So an overclocked gt 555m card in your settings is very close to a gtx460m and on max overclock it is actually higher! This isn't such a bad card after all if you can overclock to a stable setting that nearly matches the performance of a stock gtx460m which can handle nearly any game on the highest settings in full HD.I'm stoked about this since I'm getting my Dell by August 8th if no delays, and plan to do a little gaming on overclock

Here's the benchmark for a stock gtx460m
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7 Mobile,ASUSTeK Computer Inc. G53JW score: P1793 3DMarks

 

Please note that 3dmark 11 is run at 1280x768 and is a very low resolution, at higher resolutions there will be a MUCH wider gap.

 

Hi I'm new at this and I was wondering if I have the new i5 second gen core can I still overclock my gt 555m to the rates you guys have. I usually run stuff on 1600x900

 

I would say yes...but your physics score can be lower as the i7 cpu´s.

 

maybe do something like bios modding http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/521990-bios-modding-gpu-oc-fun-profit.html

 

interesting..but I would not flash my bios.

 

Thought you guys might be curious how the 128-bit GT 555M in the Sager/Clevo NP5165/W150HR compares to your beefier 192-bit model

My 2GB 555 is clocked at 700 / 950 using Afterburner, I think it could go higher but I'm happy with the scores! CPU is the i5-2520M and I'm using the new 275.5 Beta drivers...

1558 3DMarks (3DMark 11)

EDIT: Forgot to say the overclock is stable at 79C

 

Not to rain on your parade but the 460m isn't quite that good. Some games (Metro 2033, Crysis 1) can't do that all, other games get 20-30 fps which works but many consider below the threshold which you can call playable (30+ fps no drops below).

And how did the Sager owner above ^^ which afaik has a better cooling system max overclock was well below what the Dell user got?

 

If you mean why are my frequencies lower, it's not a max overclock, I haven't pushed the card and stress-tested any higher than that (700/950). kroenen04's max stable overclock of 760/970 or thereabouts should also be achievable on the Sager.

If you mean 3DMark scores, the Dell's 192-bit bus means it's a more powerful card to start with, and I believe he's also using an i7 CPU vs my i5. As for the cooling system I think the NP5165's an exception to the rule... under load the GPU runs around 75C stock, the CPU exceeds 90C in demanding games, and they share a heatsink

 

So guys...I played Crysis 2 for an hour with the new beta driver(275.50) and my oc-settings.Max.temps are 86C.

 

Ah well, I could have got the Qosmio 775x which had the gtx 560m for about 2 hundred cheaper,but the 1600x900 glare screen,glossy keyboard, and somewhat gaudy look turned me off.Being a professional,at my age I got to look at more than just the graphics card-lol. I don't care about metro 2033,but to play the Crysis series on high settings in full Hd would have been nice.

 

Yes, the max OC on the 555m scores very close to a stock 460m while still having Optimus, and so 5-6 hours battery is possible!

 

The 555M is a oc-beast!

 

@ kroenen04

ich hab den selben laptop wie du nur 6gb ram und nicht 3d
hab mir das slebe programm zum übertakten geholt genau die selben werte wie du eingestellt und nichts hat sich geändert bei der teilbewertung und in mw2 hat es sogar etwas geflckert woran kann das liegen??

MFG Kirin

 

If you will write your question in English then you will get the answer you need more quickly

 

ok

i have the same lpatop like kroenen04 only i have 6 gb ram and no 3d
i have downloaded the overclocking programm and by the some assesment wasnt any change the grafic from windows aero is - 0,1 and i have the same settings by the overclocking prgramm like kroenen04 and in mw2 have it a bit flare....

 

Hast du das 900p Display?Kann mir nur vorstellen,dass es dann ev.mit Optimus zusammenhängt.Die 3D-Version unterstützt das nämlich nicht.Lass mal nen 3D-Mark11 durchlaufen und vergleiche die Ergebnisse.

and in englisch for the other guys:

do you have the 900p screen?I think it can be a problem with optimus..because the 3D-Version has no optimus.Run a 3DMark11 and compare the results.

 

ja ich hab das 900p display wie kann ich den 3d - mark durchlaufen lassen wenn ich kein 3d habe? also nur das 900p display?

in english:

yes i have the 900p display and how can i run the 3d mark if i havent 3d? i have only the 900p screen

 

Vantage? You have to run it on an external screen in that case, via the HDMI or Display Port. 3Dmark 11 I though didn't run at >900p, but I could be wrong. In that case, use an external anyway.

 

3dmark 06 and vantage run at 1280x1024 by default.

3dmark 11 runs at 1280x768 by default.

 

That's what I thought, thanks Meaker.

So Kirin14, you should be able to run 3Dmark 11 on the 900p screen without an external. Vantage you won't as I knew, having tried that before.

 

I want my 560M now! Lol, damn customs holding my machine up, so I am in a benchmarking mind set ^-^.

If any of you have a paid version of vantage or 11 i'd be happy to compare a higher detail run to my current 6770M to your 555m.

 

Der heisst nur 3DMark11...das hat nix mit 3D zu tun.3D steht für 3D-Grafik.
Und da der Standarttest(mittel) eh in 720p läuft,kannst du den auch locker auf deinen Screen laufen lassen.

3DMark11 is only the name...it stands for 3D-graphics,not real 3D.The standart test(medium) is running in 720p...so it´s no problem for your display.

 

3dmark got it's name back in the late 90s, when rendering a 3d object on the screen was the only 3d you got lol.

 

Nice information,
Its been awhile this thing confusing me
Can you please help me Overclock my GT 525

Thanks

 

Word. I wish Dell would just absorb Alienware into its XPS series because Alienware's branding and style is just too juvenile.

 

Barebone in my sig, none of MSI's orange highlights or lights but all the awesome performance.

 

Alienware´s design is awesome.But ok, it´s the personal taste.I have a aurora and I´m very happy with it.And in the near future,I wanna buy a M14x.I bought the XPS as a desktop alternative...but now I have the aurora..so I think the M14x is better for mobile using(smaller) and it looks very cool.

 

I broke 15,000 on 3dMark06 last night! 750/1000/1500 for 15,086.

 

Cool I wish I was that smart so I could overclock mine without doing any damage

 

Download and install this. It's pretty hard to do any permanent damage, as the video driver will usually crash long before temps get serious. I was running all the way up to 800/1080/1600 and I never broke 70C.

 

Hey guys, this isn't really OC related but is anyone else having this problem?

I took this playing bad company 2, and it happens in every game I play...basically the GPU just stops for 2 seconds and then works again, and when it stops, I get a massive fps drop. Any ideas?

 

First of all try to turn off all programs running in background and test your games again.

 

Sounds an awful lot like an unstable overclock.

 

If you overclock, can you go back to the defalut for the GPU? Also, does it void the warranty?

 

Sure, you can always go back to default clock's, and no, it does not void your warranty. I highly recommend to have at least a little bit of experience in overclocking to avoid any damage you can make to your laptop hardware.

 

I'm running the stock clocks in that picture, and I've tried turing off all the programs...still the problem persists

 

753 mhz is not stock core clock on a 555m.

 

It displays 753 MHz as the stock on MSI for some reason

 

Turbo profiles are built into the bios.

 

Hey guys, dont want to go too off-topic, but im getting about 14k 3Dmark06 with the gt555m overclocked, how do you think this card will be able to handle battlefield 3 at a resolution of 1600x900 with low shadows (I always set shadows to low for frames)

I know its major speculation but im desperate for some reasonable predictions
