    do you have the stock wifi card? because those are known to have issues with turning on/off. if it turn on just go to device manager, disable it then re-enable it and see if it works then.

    I've got the stock card and have had it disappear completely in device manager.
    I rebooted and it reappeared.

    Well remember when using the integrated graphics in enduro the frame buffer is still copied to memory before being outputted to the display so it can't hurt.

    Also it increased my CPU score.

    I have taken my 1600 and 1333 kits to 1866 too lol.

    Prolly yes but also I'm using 12.7 which have a lower scores in benchmarks mate.
    And about tweaking ram, I don't have a clue.
    My CPU is already OCed, unfortunately I can't go past 102,94 bclk otherwise it will not be stable.
    Ram is 1600 for now, gpu doesn't like high OC at all on core, VRAM is fine at 1500 tho.

    It's already working now. It wasn't available to the computer at all, though. I think it was a sub-OS issue and it took completely removing power to get it to reset.

    First of all, (as SlickDude said) this is not a Nvidia vs AMD thread.

    Second, your numbers are off, and it's also more interesting to look at the GPU score instead of the total score when comparing GPUs.

    Third, take a look at the combined score of both cards.

    Also don't compare stock to overclock... Now that's a nice 7970m score: AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Genuine Intel(R) CPU 0 @ 2.40GHz,Alienware M18xR2 score: P7216 3DMarks
    (achived by Riri-Fifi)

    Now back to "first".

    These are my best runs as of yesterday, M17xR4 - 3610QM + 7970M.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    It's weird, but today none of the benchmarks could run at those setting, even with 990/1550... Is it downgrading?

    because we have already had people banned over trolling, flaming and arguing...Did you read the "truth" thread yesterday? many of the posts have already been deleted so you are getting the PG version, but I don't want another occurrence of that happening here

    I totally agree with Slick. Lets just stick to the 7970m in this thread. You never know when things might get out of your hands. The last thing we want right now is another closed thread. The thread says 7970m benchmarks and so we will not deviate from it and stick to it. Simple.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but for Clevo users with 7970m having problems with dGPU not utilizing 90%+ because of Enduro. Would it be okay to disable HD4000 via the "manage" control centre found in the properties of "computer" hence enduro can't bother with 7970m's utilization?
    If that idea is no good will AMD's drivers def fix this utilization problem???

    Clevo needs to fix enduro problems by hardware side, but also some people say that the way it's built doesn't really leave a chance to mods.
    What I don't understand is why it works perfectly fine for some users and not at all for others, leaving me wonder if it's an user fault.

    Anyway I wish I could bench at 1ghz..those scores are impressive guys! But also im happy cos with the scores above I broke my personal record, never thought to reach ~6700 on a sandy bridge machine, that puts me in competition with some good ivy CPUs out there :)

    Guys, I've worked for some hours here and have made a complete consolidated summary of the heat issues many many users are having with this GPU (especially me), along with a couple unique solutions. Just about anyone with a Clevo 150 or 170 model can benefit! If this post isn't allowed here go ahead and remove it, but I am serious about this and would like to help as much as I can and for people to see it.

    nice Vantage score!

    I have a Clevo x7200, Clevo D900f, Clevo x8100 and a Elitebook 8740w, would the Radeon HD 7970m work in any of my laptops?

    Hi there.
    At last I managed to install the 12.7 beta drivers properly( I hope) and ran some benchmarks here is 3d mark 11 on 1050/1550 stock clocks
    AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor,CLEVO P15xEMx score: P6791 3DMarks
    almost 7000 on gpu there :)
    And vantage on the same clocks
    [​IMG]

    The 12.5 stock driver s from the cd let me go higher with the clocks- up to 1060/1560 but on 12.7 3d mark would abort at these.
    for comparrison here is 1060/1560 on the stock drivers.
    AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor,CLEVO P15xEMx score: P6732 3DMarks
    But still I get higer score on the 12.7 with lower cloks :)
    But so far I can tell gameplay on 12.7 feels a bit more smooth in games even in battleifeld 3. The performance still isnt best and you still cant lower settings to get higher fps but those dips arent so signifficant as on the 12.5

    haha yeah. I did by a lot of planning and a bit of luck. Also not to forget an amazing deal with one of our fellow member here on NBR. I decided to part out my former R3 and compromise with 1 SSD left (since I hardly filled half of it anyway). Most everything is the same though I have to say the sound quality is amazing!
    no one have tried yet AFAIK but you can always go in the Sager/Clevo box and ask many resellers there.
    sorry about that. For some reason my scores were hidden??? So I clicked on Reveal and they should be working now. Thanks!
    Terrific scores you got there mate :D

    you'll probably need a new bios. You should post this in the clevo forum for a quicker answer

    They are working now

    Nice scores mahalsk! the 12.7's are the best drivers for the 7970m so far in games. Although i lost 100 points on 3dmark11, i have found that gpu utilization is up and the gaming experience is better

    The sound is better because alienware are using Creative now instead of IDT...big difference.

    Congratz on the R4...make sure you OC the CPU if you haven't already done so...enable extreme mode in the bios and go 41,40,39,39 ;)

    I would like to try but when I up the memmory to 1560 3d mark will abort and wont finish on 12.7's. On 12.5 I coul get a run at 1060/1560 wtih no prob even stable in gaming.
    However I reverted back to the stock drivers, I tryied to play a few more games and mi second tought is that the stock ones still perform better. I think the 12.7's need to be coplete with the new intel driver to work properlly. Hopefully it'll be soon

    The first is a glitched score. If you look at the detailed scores, one of the FPS is abnormally high. Your graphics score on the second is a little odd if it is OC'd at 950/1400.

    My 150EM at 950/1500 with the 3610QM gets this: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3804107

    Thanks man. Yeah the new sound chip is among the stuff that help justify my upgrade :p.

    I also OC'd the cpu already but it can only get as high as 40/39/38/38. It can get as hot as 97*C if I don't set manual fan via HWinfo. I plan to repaste both this weekend to see if I can improve it at all. Also my 7970M idle at 56-57*C which is weird.

    as gkrules said your graphic test 1 result got mixed up so it's not valid.

    oh, you have a 3720...thought you had the 3820...ya, 40,39,38,38 is what the 3720 will do and you should 100% repaste the CPU. however, you may not have to repaste the GPU...check your temps to confirm. Dell is using very high quality paste now on the GPU. I'm not sure about the CPU though

    no your score is not bad for 950/1400
