    Woot, finally broke 6000 (almost 6100!) with a GDDR3 8600M GT

    Specs are in the sig

    This was done using 177.35 drivers! my new favorite driver up from 174.74 :)

    Test was done at 720/1440/900 with temps never exceeding 80C (no laptop cooler either :O)

    crysis stable for 2h+

    Not if the temps are staying relatively low...
    95 C or so, that would be frying it.

    Congrats, but one of the posters are right. 720 core with stable temps is impressive.

    Good work on the OC. Now get yourself a cooler. Jeebus.

    well, he obviously does have a 1440x900 display, so the results are way higher due to the lower resolution. this discussion is soooo old now.

    i have 5xxx points, i have 6xxx points... i have read that same thing dozens of times in the last month, and of course all of the posters did use a smaller resolution than the standard of 1280x1024, which makes these results incomparable to those run under real conditions.

    would be nice if the people that are posting such results would connect an external monitor and use that one for benchmarking with the standard resolution.

    at least then it would make some sense to compare results. ;)

    Mosty of you fail to see he benchmarked at 1280x1024.
    His score dwarfs even my 7950GTX's :)

    He's using a Dell XPS M1530.

    I'm impressed that he's not overheating though.

    oh nevermind that. But still, I am really jealous now. I don't want to start a new thread about how my laptop is going 95c without OC, but how does he do that without hitting 80c??

    I can't answer your question because your avatar is extremely bizzare and distracting.

    It's a ban on saying teletubbies are good?

    Well, different laptops have different cooling systems. Your 5920 seems to be running a tad too hot though. Try using a cooling mat, or cleaning out the vents. Or simply visit the cooling central.

    It says "Hello"s are Forbidden.
    If you thought 95 is too hot try some Asus G1S, 104 under load right out of the box 169.04 drivers.

    i've undervolted my processor to 1.0375 volts at 12.5x multiplier :D lowest it'll go (in LPM) is 0.925 volts.. undervolting helps the temps ALOT! and since the cpu and gpu share a heatsink on the m1530, decrease the cpu temp -> decrease gpu temp :D

    yea, he should put a water pack under it and boil water with the heat produced :D it'll save on the electricity/gas that wouldve been used to boil the water AND it'll keep the temps stable longer!

    doesnt matter, the bigger the laptop the more airflow, but being a "desktop replacement" doesnt change anything

    Yeh i thought that temp was insanely low for the OC too. Hes using a m1530 and Im using the same thing, and hes getting below 80 while my temps are cranking all the wall up to 92. I should sue Dell for selling unequally made products.

    And good, im not the only one suffering from ridiculously high temps while playing mass effect.

    btw as a point of comparison, how well does 8700gt or 7950 perform on 3dmark06?

    There was a guy a while back in the Apple forum claiming near 7,000 with a 8600M (I thought you could only get DDR2 Macbook Pro's) But i know he was lieing , That scores impossible at standard resoloution.

    The reason I think Mass Effect temps are so high is because it really pushes your CPU as well. And if your CPU and GPU share the same heatsink then that will push your GPU temps up a bit. Usually my GPU only hits 72C while gaming (standard clocks), but will hit 77C when playing Mass Effect.

    Dire NTropy is right regarding Mass Effect. When playing TF2 and other games even with my overclock I peak at around 69C CPU and 71C GPU. I've hit 79C CPU and 75C GPU in Mass Effect and no other games even come close to that for me.
