    You could always try installing different drivers..

    What CPU/RAM is in the machine? If it's a 1.67 Core Duo your score is probably about right, but if it's a 2.0 or 2.16 you should be getting 4200+

    Hehe great mate, you just gotta love that blue light :)

    By the way today my laptop got very hot, it was like 58 C while gaming with cooler... Very weird, I always have 52 degrees max... My HD became 42, while it always was 36-38 C... I guess it is because my room was cooking in the sun :(

    Clocks were 440/800! I KNOW I can hit 3400 now. I tried to see how far I could blow 3400 out of the water and over did my overclock and crashed it. But I know it'll do it!

    Woah! 9 more points . . 3,400 . . you are almost to the level of the MR X800 - that gets around 3,600-3,900 points. Quite a feat. Excellent job, watch those temperatures. ;)

    Your core is higher than even the X700PRO on the desktop - stock clocks for that are 420:432. Impressive.

    Temps were nice and cool! It was cold and rainy outside today. CPU was around 43C according to NHC and the GPU was at a guesstmated 85C according to one of those laser turkey thermometers. I dont know if I can trust that thing though, that thermometer was really cheep.

    Almost nothing running in the background too. The almost was my logitech mouse software and AVG (Which was doing nothing at the time)

    Is there a temp sensor on the x700 in this baby? I'm pretty sure there isnt but I guess I'll ask.

    There's no temperature sensor on the Clevo M560A I'm afraid. I have tried three different programs, none will report the temperature. We'll just have to guess. I remeber how hot my notebook gets above the GPU without the pad - just as long as it is under that, I think it's fine.

    Depends on your cooling solution and how strong your parts are in general.

    My Compaq v2000z with Turion 64 ML-40, 1GB OCZ PC3200 (CAS 2.5/4/4/8), and 128MB shared x200M got 584 in 3DMark05 after a fresh reinstall on the latest Omegas with all stock clocks. I think the dhzer0point drivers yield a slight increase, so I'll try those tomorrow. I had 604 on stock clocks just before I sent it in for repairs to the defective cooling system (which is when HP mysteriously decided to give me a free upgrade to a processor that doesn't even exist as a build-to-order option on my notebook), but I can't remember what drivers I was using.

    Come on Twilight we want to see 3400! ;)

    Very interesting these X700 sometimes... I once clocked to 372/330 and hit 2605 3dmark05 points... then I clocked to 378/330 and hit 2609... 6 more MHz for 4 points :confused: I guess Twilight had the same...
    Actually someone should make a graph about what overclock gives you most boost :)

    Hoaah! Congrats mate! 3400 finally for a X700! :)

    I bet if you get a Sonoma 770 with 2 GB DDR you can break 3500 too! By the way mate do you have a 7200 rpm HD?

    Wow that is an incredible overclock that you have done there.... Almost 90 MHz for the core... nice...

    The stock for 1153 for X1400 isnt correct I think, it cant be that low.

    yeh i thought the stock result was way too low...lol...

    i tried putting the clocks up to 550/440 but got a bsod part way through running 3dmark05 so i've put them back down to 540/430...i've read that people have gotten up to 575/445 with it staying stable but it seems a rare thing...lol

    was able to play BF2 at max detail and max rez (1680x1050) with 25-35fps for about an hour with no problems at all....very happy

    Quick question: Does the amount of memory affect 3DMark05 score? Say if I have two identical systems with all the same hardwares (CPU, video card, hard drive, etc) except one system has 512MB memory while the other has 1GB memory, will the two machines have difference scores on 3DMark05?

    Thanks.

    It will affect it but not too much. 3dmark05 is (almost) only GPU depending. But it can be possible that your CPU or memory is a bottleneck. But it wont affect the score too much.

    Agreed . . 3DMark05 depends mostly on the GPU. If you have 1GB of RAM, that's fine. Anything over that doesn't make a difference. 512MB might bring down your score a bit, how much I am not sure, but you'll see a boost with 1GB.

    I just got a V6J about a week ago
    Graphics card wasn't as good as I expected
    it's as fast as my radeon 9700 in my acer

    w/ overclock(520/550):2300

    w/o overclock(450/450):1906

    i think it's pretty good performance except at 520/550 i do get some white dots and artifacts but i just ignore them lol rofl

    If you're artifacting you should back off or you could damage your card.

    Just because it scores the same as your acer, the new one will still perform better. Newer technology and stuff.

    Deedeeman, you should easily score a 2200 with that machine. My Go 7400 scores a 2023 on stock settings after a fresh xp install and I can break 2300 with some overclocking..and your card is more powerful than mine.

    Deedeeman had a score of 2600 or something, I saw it in his signature... Great score indeed...

    Charlie-Peru :)

    EDIT: Incredible! Out of box my notebook had 2280 score... after the latest drivers and good defragging I get 2385 at stock! The X700 is scaring me :)

    ATI Tool, is best.

    Because you can set-up multiple profiles to save battery and the GPU when not in heavy use.

    For normal usage its best at around 150/150
    For some video, DVD, online games and stuff like that around 250/200 is good.
    And for gaming, as high as its default is or OC that mother****er. :cool:

    After messing around with Joker's bootdisk for 7900gs, I got the system running stable at 500/600 clockspeeds, scoring 7847 :D 3dmarks. Working now to enhance that score even further.

    Also scored:

    120.4 fps on CS:Source Test
    87.6 fps on HL2:Lost Coast Test

    Good point. This thread has been going since 12-21-05. I think up to 10k is a good range nowadays.
