    I'm still trying to source a stock 1.05 vbios for the 7970m in a 150em if anyone can help. Please shoot me a PM. I'd appreciate it a ton!

    For some reason my stock vbios will not go above 0.975. Until I replace my current PSU to stop the throttling I'm curious what the difference in performance will be between my stock bios and a 1.05 stock bios

    Thanks!

    ATIWinflash can give you the vbios file information, save it, and even write a new one if you obtain one or modify a new one of your own.

    MKEGuy if you will update your ati drivers to 13.9 we could compare the results, i got also i7-3630 7970m @ 1.0V different is Ram(16GB@1600) and i have got hdd not ssd.
    And i strongly believe that you have made a mistake by quoting yourself in post above. ;)
    Second 7970m with 1.05v is not in the notebook but what i saw the first one with 1.0v is more stable in games, of maybe its the drivers...

    edit

    1000/1400 @ 1.0v 7970m is unstable,

    I dont know if I'd be going backwards to 13.9 considering I had worse results.

    And thanks, I corrected that quote

    I'm not sure that is true. My stock voltage is 1.00V, and this is one of the first cards that came directly from Sager after they announced a 7970M upgrade package for HM-series machines with a modified vBIOS. Definitely an oldie! Other users who've used the dumped vBIOS from my card have reported varying voltages as well; some have 0.95V, others 1.00V like myself, and still more with the "stock" voltage of 1.05V.

    I still can't get a vbios that is programmed at 1.05 to run at more then 0.975. I fits programmed at 1.075 she will run at 1.075 all day long. MY PSU just wont support a full 3DMark11 run.

    However, with a new driver posted in the sager/clevo forum.... I was able to get this score, though I can't run the 950/1450 I did to get the 7200 score for some reason. I got this score on 945/1425

    0.95V can do stock clocks? That'd be quite impressive actually.. If you take a card that's stable at 0.95 and pump it up to 1.05, how much can you OC?? :eek:

    I believe I've read the average of 40-50 mhz per 0.025 v. Your results may be better or worse then this though, its never a guarantee.

    New best score for myself.... This is now at 1.05 v. Pretty thrilled to beak the 7700 mark at a stock voltage. Just need to figure out my throttling issues. If any of you have a sager/clevo, please check that forum for a thread I started on the issue. I need some input! Thanks in advance!

    Nice score man. I'm trying to figure out my throttling issues in the combined cpu/gpu physics test. I'm not sure if its a power issue or a cpu bottleneck issue or maybe even an enduro related issue because I noticed Dell machines don't seem to have the same issues which brings me away from the bottleneck and down to a power or enduro issue. I've always been told the 3630qm can't bottleneck the 7970m - so I'm leaning towards the power issue. However, throttlestop did slightly improve my utilization. But I've noticed there is generally a few percent difference run to run, maybe it was coincidence, IDK.

    I'm all ears if someone has some knowledge on the subject! When I figure out the issue, its going to dictate my course going forward as far as upgrading the gpu and/or cpu, or entire laptop.

    1.05v (stock) for everyday use
    1.10v for benchmarks.

    i have no idea what is ur issue, i got 99% while benching.

    ULPS enabled or disabled? Looks like you have it enabled. There should be breaks in utilization between tests.

    hm, not sure where i can find ulps settings, can u help me? :D
    i got allways 99% utilization even if i run just 3Dmark window (max. performance in catalyst settings), mb its coz of LeeKM fix drivers? :confused: or my MSIAfterburner is brocken an show me wrong numbers :D

    Do a google search for 7970m turn ULPS off or something close to that. You will find a lot of information. When you turn that off, Afterburner will show you the dGPU's correct real time utilization which I guaruntee you is not 99% all the time on these 150/170em's!

    Alternatively if you happen to use ATIMan's Uninstaller program or have thought about using it. (I would only use it on a system with an intel cpu though personally) There is a script that you can use that automatically turns ULPS on and off for you instead of having to go into the registry yourself to turn the setting off.

    Good luck and let me know if you need any help. You actually might pick up a few points or a little moe stability for a little more OC headroom.

    Well.... some more tweaking and a little more voltage gave me another little boost to my best 3DMark11 score yet. I have to say Im probably going to try to get my mits on a 1.1 v vbios because the warmest I got during the run was 88 deg C. Definitely have plenty of thermal headroom for a little more voltage for short runs like a benchmark. I just dont know if I would actually game at that voltage.

    Out of curiosity does anyone know about the ranking thing in 3DMark11? Like when you are in the view where it shows "similar system scores" and you click the group you are in, and then it shows you a ranking of all the scores of your graphics card and processor. Is that really all of them for your CPU and GPU? Because if so then I'm number 2 for the 7970m/3630qm - single gpu. First guy has something about a tesslation adjustment to his run or something though. Pretty sure when I flash the 1.1 vbios (have to make one or get my mits on one first) I should be able to beat that score.

    Just curious because it would be pretty cool to have the fastest single gpu 7970m with a 3630qm. lol Anyone with the same setup have a similar score?

    Hope a WHQL driver comes out so I can make it a valid result. :p

    After a little looking I have found some 10k scores but the results look really fishy. Considering how far my card is pushed and you cant OC a 3630qm, I dont know how you could possibly get to 10k on a single card. Almost sounds like a dual system card that for some reason recognized as a single, Because they also happen to be 370em systems which are indeed dual GPU capable. IDK

    Graphics Score
    8468

    Physics Score
    8121

    I'm getting about 76xx score in GS and about 77xx score in PS, which gives about P75xx result with 1.0v @950/1500 temp 80 degrees during testing.
    There is only one thing that is in my mind, when i see results like P8XXX, and that is Tessellation which is disabled.

    1. i7 3630qm / i7 3720qm
    2. Temperature of place/room has an impact.

    So feel free to share your vbios, and let me see this(of almost this) score/temps on my own eyes SegaDE. :)

    i used my stock vbios(1.05v) to take this screenshot, i reach ~8.2k gpu score with it. to reach scores like in my signature(~8.8k gpu) i use overvolted vbios(1.1v) and get temps about 85-90

    The only score above mine in the rankings Tessellation disabled I believe it is. In any case, its adjusted in some form.

    I personally am running LeeM's drivers at the moment. Im going to play around with the slightly older version of his driver as well as the stock ATI drivers to see if ny of them produce a different result. I run stock/default settings in CCC and 3DMark11.

    Can get crazy with you guys because of the results which you attain.
    I have tried vbios from dell 7970m with modded voltage on clevo7970m and what i saw was a little bit less score in compare at the same voltage 1.0,(temps idle: dell lower clevo higer, stress: conversely) i can't understand that...
    0.975v get about 900/1450 if you i put the clocks higher then 3dmark get crash.(jumping by 50 mhz)
    1.0v get about 950/1500 -II-
    I have another 7970m from clevo with stock 1.05v but i have changed it about month ago for present 7970m with 1.0v what i was thinking will bring me some benefits with lower temps(SegaDE i'm really shocked about yours temp @ that MHZ). And what i have read about radeon that he can keep going in good condition with max voltage till 1.075 so using 1.05 doesn't have a bigger sens.
    If anyone share vbios from 170 em with voltage @ 1.075 i will be grateful. I saw it on TIforum but i was not abble to download it. Crazy rules there, i'm not going to spam to get acces for download.
    An one more thing, MKEGuy can you make just one 3dmark run with 950/1500 @ 1.075 and put here the results like Pxxxx score and maximum temperature please ?
    greetings!

    If you shoot me a PM with your email address I can shoot you a 1.075 vbios for the 150/170EM series laptops. I currenty have the 11 vbios flashed so the next time I have 1.075 flashed I'll try to remember to post that result.

    Looks like my CPU is throtteling.. check my combined score in this run its not even 6K :(
    AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor,CLEVO P150EM

    You seem to get 7.3K combined score with your CPU, the difference between a 3610QM and a 3630QM can't possible be that big. Are you running a 1T or 2T memory rate BIOS? Or are you running a 240watt adapter instead of the basic 180watt one?

    But our results are on par on the GPU intense tests (test3 and test4)

    Your result cannot be displayed. I'm using 240w like most of people here what i think, and what i read psu like 300w is recommended for i7-39XX xm cpu(55 tdp). And my cpu is 3630qm(45 tdp).
    MKEGuy thx a lot for you support, but your checsum is almost double than mine, so it was not possible to flash it. Thanks to Aikei from TIforum i'm now able to edit everything in my vbios and bringing modded vbios to standard checksum.

    Any modded vbios file is going to have a different checksum then your stock vbios. Mine was the same way.

    Sapphire TRIXX can change Voltage :) Not need to flash BIOS) Same effect.
    but only if you installed MSI Afterburner too(and select options unlock voltage and all AMD compatibility properties options).

    i can't take 1000 :( 1.1 or 1.075 crash my card to black screen.
    temp only 71C :(

    how you changed the settings you have launched and Applications 3DMark again this were to clocks visible :thumbsup:
    SegaDE , good job! , My system is not suitable for more is broken on this system were three different platforms ;)
    3d11 Valid result http://www.3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/7843826/3dm11/7842634 as you did with you more FPS than I and P result weaker, 100 Mhz on the CPU is not 1000 points physics ,
    gpu clock ?

    GT1/2/3 clock is as big as 1125 freezes when loading textures image, after uploading textures no problem with clocks, CT test freezes after the clock change faster as the base, possible that this card is lazy :D , Valley @ 1150 no problem.

    you did a very high point :thumbsup: , I had more than 200 x watched this benchmark, on the 7970M no longer benchmark play ,

    Russian overclocking also in 1150 on the same core only in MSI , @ 2GB 8970M is the same as the 7970M @ 2GB of the same memory :eek:
    AMD Radeon HD 8970M video card benchmark result - AMD A10-5750M,Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-176K ,
    as SegaDE will be available, I'm sure will be the result of a very high point :D , possible 2,900 points?, everything depends on how stable motherboard

    I have to say it still feels good when I look at the "detailed scores" and the chart of where my score falls.... I only find crossfire setups above mine unless I switch to a higher CPU in the search.

    Anyone wanna buy mine? :p Might even consider a trade!

    Not really all that serious about this - but, hey - if the right offer came along it just might find a new home!

    My 7970m stop with ov @ 1.1v(8346 gpuscore in PXXXX test), anything above causes loss of performance, sad.
