    Ceiph you can get higher. Try this out, 375core/370mem, as this is My absolute max on my Z70Va. You could maybe get higher or lower, but just so you know this is my absolute max.

    My score is slightly higher than yours at 29xx something. 2990 or something like that. I just can't quite reach 3000. :(

    Oh wellz,
    Mike

    Hey does anyone have a go7600? I'd like to see what scores it can get since i think I'm gonna upgrade to it when AW offers it.

    If those are in fact the scores for the Go7600, then that is pretty disappointing.

    My laptop is maxed out and my previous score posting is it.

    My desktop on the other hand is a different story. I just recently upgraded the drivers for my 6800 on my desktop, which is an AMD Athlon-XP Barton 2500+ overclocked to 11x200mhz fsb = 2205mhz clock. I have a gig of OCZ Premier 3200 ram on it with 7 3 3 2.5 timings.

    I overclocked my videocard even higher this time. I never really tested for max overclocking ability, but now I believe I have found it. My videocard seems to overclock better with age, so weird. It wouldn't ever go anywhere near a 400mhz core clockspeed, but now I've hit it, with a mem speed of 880mhz ddr, but just incase I have it at 875mhz ddr. WOW~!

    So now I've got my 3dmark03 up to 115xx, up from my old score of 11000 and high 10's. WOW~!

    I've also got my Geforce 6800 from BFG, unlocked so it's running with all 16piplines and 6 vertex shaders. YAY~!!!

    Awesome, can't wait for my new cpu to come in which I ordered off ebay. Not NEW, but new for me. I ordered one of those Mobile 2500 Bartons which will hopefully overclock to at least 2400mhz, then I'll be running higher scores.

    I'm going to run 3dmark05 right now on my desktop and will post back.

    :D

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Nice job Mike! Those are some great scores.

    And darby - that's an excellent number from an X700. 256MB of VRAM makes a difference!

    I don't think it matters much in 3DMark05, whether or not you upgrade your RAM."Only" 1GB is perfectly OK.

    Anyone ran 3DMark05 on a ATI X1400? I recently purchased a Acer Aspire 5672WLMi and I'm curious on the marks this card gets in comparison to others.

    Thanks!

    On my Compaq v2000z w/ATi RADEON XPRESS 200M (128MB BIOS-allocated shared + 128MB hypermemory), using 2x512MB OCZ DDR400 (CAS 2.5) and a Turion ML-37, with the latest Omega drivers and stock clocks, I get 580 3DMarks in 3DMark05 - not a shabby score for an integrated part.

    Note this was using a funky combination of "performance" and "quality" settings for Direct3D in CCC that I've found to provide the best quality/performance ratio.

    Acer Aspire 5672WLMi, Radeon X1400.

    Standard drivers = 1624.
    Omega Drivers = 1715.
    Powerstrip enabled, accelerated both the clock speed and memory speed to 574MHZ, and 441MHZ respectively, and got 2116.

    I'm not sure if this is a good score for what I have, it appears that I can't get much more without a 7800 GTX.

    Nice scores all :) ....not me though... :confused:

    ACER 291LMi Test Scores
    --------------------------
    -- PCmark04 2728
    -- PCmark05 2095
    -- Super PI 136s
    -- 3Dmark01SE 9315
    -- 3Dmark03 2625
    -- 3Dmark05 354
    -- 3Dmark06 84

    Notebook Specs
    --------------------------
    -- Intel Pentium M 1400MHz
    -- ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
    -- RAM 512MB
    -- 60GB disk 5400rpm
    -- DVD-RW
    -- WinXP Pro (with updates)

    More Info
    --------------------
    -- CPU Clock at 1400MHz
    -- Physical Memory 512 MB, Free 282 MB
    -- ATI 9700 Memory Clock 202.5 MHz
    -- ATI 9700 Core Clock 391.5 MHz
    -- ATI Catalyst v5.13 modded (6.14.10.6587)
    -- DirectX 9.0c (Long Version 4.09.00.0904)
    -- DirectDraw 5.3.0000001.0904

    What puzzles me most is that 3Dmark03 shows decent scores,
    while 3Dmark05 and 3Dmark06 show awful scores... What's up?

    Someone posted this:

    Amilo M1420 notebook
    (1.6 GHz, Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro, Omega v2.6.05a)
    -- 3DMark01SE 9516
    -- 3DMark03 2621
    -- 3DMark05 960

    So, my notebook scored better in 3Dmark03 than the above,
    but almost THREE times worst in 3Dmark05 than the above...

    Besides offical older Acer drivers, and these modded v5.13 drivers,
    I have also tried official ATI Mobility drivers v6.2, and the latest
    OmegaDrivers v3.8.221 based on Catalyst v6.2. Scores are all alike.
    (Also, before each driver install I cleaned them with DriverCleaner Pro.)

    So, can I do anything to improve graphics speed? Or is it perhaps,
    I guess so, just a driver problem? If so, which drivers to try?

    Thanks!

    How did you get the 128M dedicated Xpress 200M on the v2000z? I don't see that as an option in the customizing menu on HP's website?

    How can you tell if the notebook has a 128MB hypermemory card?

    It's not dedicated. He allocated 128MB to be taken by the X200M by default in the BIOS, and then it is allowed to take another 128 via HyperMemory.

    Is this any different than the laptops that have the Xpress 200M that claim dedicated memory? Can this be done with any Xpress 200M equiped laptop?
    Does it require special drivers ect... Is the additional memory used worth the difference in performance? That is, how much of a difference does it make?

    Regards,

    Mike

    UPDATE: I don't give two @#%@^ about 3dmark anymore.

    Why you ask?

    I started up my desktop computer without changing ANY settings whatsoever and now my score has dropped from 11550 or so to 11400 or so. This is in 3dmark03, for 05 my score has dropped the same percentage.

    Just not reliable enough. I don't get it, it's so sensitive. All the while my other benchmark scores are the same.

    Only a couple fps up or down, even 1 fps up or down will give you a couple hundred or several hundred points in 3dmarkxx.

    Soooooooo, I just use it now to check for IQ (image quality) of new drivers or any dramatic changes in the CPU score to CPU fps ratio, to check how the new drivers effect the CPU load.

    Cheers,
    Mike

    ..........3843 marks..........

    Wow, I didn't know stock drivers sucked THAT badly...
    I could get like 1500-2000 more marks if I overclocked it :(

    Hi Mike - in laptops that have a dedicated X200M (such as the HP dv5000z), it has 128MB to begin with of its own memory, and then using HyperMemory (where the video card will take up to 128MB of your main memory if needed) it can have 256MB total.

    I'm not sure about every laptop, but if you tell me which model you're looking at, I'll see what I can find on it.

    As long as you have the ATI Mobility Catalyst drivers, version 5.7 and up (the latest is 6.3), HyperMemory is enabled by default on all ATI PCI-express video cards with 128MB or less of memory.

    Cheers,
    Chaz

    Thanks for the info. Chaz. I was looking at the lowly Compaq V2555US. I see it allows for 128 shared, didn't know if by software or other people could have the machine run on the 256MB of ram. Not sure what the real difference is between a machine with 128 set in bios vs 128 dedicated. Finally, is the ram tradeoff worth it. Does using higher speed mem do the V2555US any good? Using PC333 vs. PC400

    OC 450/300: 1482
    OC 460/305: 1540

    I saw a good performance difference between Cat6.2 and Cat6.3 Omega....I would recommend going for that asap.

    Dude, that's amazing!! My 3000 in 3DMark05 now seems dismal. I want an X1600 now!! I guess my z70va is good enough for all my games though. I'll wait until warranty runs out, then I'll think about upgrading :D . I've really had my eye on the Asus W3J... it's such a small thing, but I can't let go of my SXGA+ screen.

    Nice! What was your stock speed on the graphic card?

    I get around 3600 points in 3dmark05 with my laptop, Asus A6Ja (Core Duo T2300, 1 GB Ram, ATi X1600 256 MB (450 MHz/350 MHz)).

    Thats odd, you should get atleast 2000 considering I get 1949 with geforce 7400... And X1400 is slightly better then the 7400...you might want to look into that :rolleyes:

    1600 actually looks about average for an X1400 after checking the ORB at futuremark.com. Nothing to worry about.

    The x1400 varies a bit depending on installation and memory... Theres a lenovo that got 2096... I get 1786 with my e1505 using Catalyst Drivers and 1875 with Omega Drivers. The acer core duo with x1400 gets around 1700.

    That said... I havent found anything yet that the x1400 cant run respectably.

    Hey does anyone know what settings to expect from

    A laptop with:
    -Intel Duo Core T2500 (2.0 Ghz)
    -Radeon X1400 non OCed (and can someone tell me if this supports hypermemory. If so how much extra memory you can get and how much it helps)
    -2 gigs dual channel 533mhz ram

    Even a general estimate will help

    Thanks guys,
    Paul

    I merged this because it's essentially the same question . . someone with an X300 might have responded in this thread.

    Phew...it is such a relieve seeing your 3dmark05 score is the same as mine. That almost gave me a heart attack seeing my 3dmark05 scores only got 3607 after comparing with Acer's TM8204 getting over 4000. :eek:

    My BenQ Joybook S73G has exactly the same configuration as yours except with 2GB 533Mhz RAM and the x1600 was defaulted to 425/378.

    This 3607 score is slightly better than what I am used to on my desktop's GF6600GT with its score around 3100. And playing Oblivion using the 6600GT at 1024x768 with 4x sampling was quite acceptable. This x1600 w/256mb would be even better...

    Hmmm...overclocking it to 450/425 netted me a 3834 score but the system was so hot that I am worried I might fry it. Oh well, back to default...

    Same toughts here when i ran 3dmark05 for the first time, but now we know why :)

    When playing games i clock up my graphic card to 475/400, this give around 3950 points in 3dmark05. Taking up the memory to 450 MHz cause an instant hang up, maybe to low voltage? Well im glad that i get nearly 4000 points now, and games run beautiful.

    Edit : 4071 points with 475/410

    The 1.66Ghz Core Duo (T2300) Fujitsu Lifebook with an X1400 scored 2293 in 3DM05 here, so you could expect perhaps a little more from a T2500, but not much.

    Wow...these Omega Drivers on the x1600 are amazing...boosted the scores from my average of 3580 using the latest ATi drivers to an average of 3750 for the Omega...all using default settings. And from the look on the picture quality, it seems no difference between the two.

    Looks like it's a keeper...kudo to the Omega developers!

    Hmmm...I might even be able to see 4000 if o/c'ing...
