3DMark Released

Yeah I noticed that. I also noticed that my 570m out does the 680m in ice storm on the gpu score. Weird. Probably a driver issue.

 

if you have an AMD card, Catalyst 13.2 Beta5 is supposedly approved for 3DMark

 

I'm only scoring 30k in Ice Storm, 14k in Cloud and 3800 in Fire Strike. This is with a 3820qm @ 4.0ghz and dual 680ms at 1000/1115. I'd say SLI wasn't working, but those scores are too low even for a single 680m, it seems.

Are you guys using Windows 8 or 7? I'm on Windows 8 and had a similiar issue in Vantage until nV updated drivers... wondering if this is the problem?

 

windows 7 pro here.
try disabling sli and run on one card as same thing happening with sli for someone on clevo thread.

 

catalyst 13.2 beta4 => SCORE 5537 with AMD Radeon HD 7970M(1x) and Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor
catalyst 13.2 beta5 => SCORE 5537 with AMD Radeon HD 7970M(1x) and Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor

 

SLI users need to select AFR2 for the SLI Rendering Mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Set on "NVIDIA Recommended" the score will be pretty sucky.

@Mr. Fox that M18x of yours is just dream, nice oc and score

 

Thanks for the compliment.

I recently added some racing stripes, but for some reason it does not go any faster, LOL.

 

@Mr.Fox try to install a spoiler

 

Spoiler might help... If all else fails, a pair of fuzzy dice will be worth at least 500 3DMarks.

 

I ran the tests again today with 16GB RAM installed and it seems to have helped my physics scores a bit, here it is at stock clocks:

Here are some new numbers with the CPU cranked up to 4.7GHz... also higher OC on GPUs.

Thanks! That did it. Scoring in the 8200s now on a 3820qm @ 4.0ghz and 680m SLI @ 1001/1114

 

Here are some results with GT 555M

I tried to install it from the Steam store page and it seems to be stuck in this weird loop, where it will download, then the download pauses when finished, and I can't ever install it.

Tried deleting it and clicking on the Download Demo button again, also verify local files, but no luck.

 

New run on the A10

My old War Horse G73jh still fights on. The GPU has seemingly held up better than the CPU over the last 3 years.

 

Curious how the Asus G46 would fare, just made a quick run through for comparison:



Seems about on par but always tough to tell on a new benchmark!

Great to see! I still had great performance out of my G73jh before I sold her a couple months ago. I was still really impressed with the 5870. Only problem was as you mentioned the cpu was getting long in the tooth... noticed it a lot in X-Plane 10. Any non CPU bound game still ran great though!

 

Yeah, I decided to grin and bear the rough ride for another year because 1] it really does the job most of the time, 2] After Bioshock Infinite, Fallout 4 is the next big thing to me so to me there is a lull, 3] next-gen consoles change the game in terms of graphics and 4] Broadwell, DDR4 and die shrinks galore makes 2014 one of those "good things come to those who wait" kind of years.

 

Yep, I struggled with the same decision, only reason I upgraded was to consolidate two machines to one while I could still get something out of them both to pay for the new one(G73JH & Alienware M11x)... I needed something at least as fast as the G73 but more portable with battery life. Performance wise I agree, the G73 still did the job under most situations! Long live the War Horse!

 

Not to mention nVidia Maxwell should nearly double performance of the 680m.

 

I'm expecting more than double actually, especially considering the die shrink should enhance OCing capability beyond current limits.

^^HWBOT RANK: #1 world record 680M hardware ranking (at the time of this post); #62 global rank for all dual GPU systems
Snuggled all nice and warm between two desktop 660 Ti SLI systems in #61 and #63 spots, LOL.
