Finally Broke 4000 3DMark06 with 8600M GT DDR2

The above link are my scores, and the score was accomplished in 1280 x 1024 with the official 174.31 drivers and overclocking to 630/590.

 

I get 4631 with No OC'ing

 

That's cause you have a DDR3 version, a T7500, and you're using the 1280 x 800 resolution.

But, your stuff produce more heat.

 

is this overclock stable or for just saying that you've broken the barrier?

do you use a cooling pad, any extra tweaks/patches whether to the OS or hardware such as under volting?

thx in advance

 

It's completely stable, I can get more than 4300 by overclocking, but this one is the first that broke 4000 stable. I don't use any cooling pad, but I did undervolt my CPU, but that shouldn't affect the overclocked GPU.

 

kewl....actually i think undervolting cpu can effect the gpu since there is less heat underneath the laptop so the gpu can be clocked a bit higher since the heat the cpu would normally produce is reduced.

 

I broke 4400. No BB undervolting and throttling the cpu has no effect on gpu temps. Though I am on the c90 and its fan triggers and such in general are a bit dfferent.

Nothing amazing

 

ah forerunner where have you been mate. anyway thx for clearing that out

 

I was on 1280x1024 resolution.

 

XPS1330, you really get 4,600 on 3dmark 06? I have the exact same specs on my M1530 but I don't get above about 4,000 unless I overclock. Must be time for some new drivers!

 

Forerunner, nice score, but shave off a few hundred points. You have a faster CPU.

 

Windows XP or Vista? Cause XP actually gives 200 to 300 extra points on the 3DMark06....

Running a Vista 64 I've got over 5.4k on 3DMark06, but that result doesn't count... cause even that the test itself hasn't crashed, the card got unstable less than half hour later, while I was playing some games...

So, for me the only result that counts is this one at my sign. Cause I can leave my notebook OC'ed 24/7 with it.

 

Without any OC, I've got 4k points on the 3DMark06 using the 174.31 driver.

 

Nice, well I did overclock my DDR2 8600M GT from 2900 to DDR3 speeds.
