GTX 285M vs. ATI 5870 mobile

ran at those settings and scored 12400

the 2nd test seems alot slower then yours, any reason?

 

Could still be throttling. I suspect bios foul play here.

 

I call BIOS FOul

 

that sucks

possible cpu issue or more likely to be bios?

eleet screenie

 

could it be eleet isnt overclocking it correctly?

 

What does cpu-z show? Open up the system and verify you have the right cpu. That definitely looks like a bios problem if you do have a 920 installed.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it has to be a 920 since it let you change your multipliers. I still think it's a bios problem. See what Kobalt says about it.

 

its reporting it as an 720 .... but a 920 ?

Is it a ES?

 

It's possible that what ever you set it at with eleet isn't being achieved because of system power constraints. That would point back to the bios again.

 

see the highlighted areas

saying 920 @ 2gig

not an es (well shouldnt be brought from Kobalt)

 

Yes, that's what we were looking at. Your default multipliers are set like you have a 720 and not a 920. That is a problem since you cannot permanently change it.

 

seems i might have a wonky CPU then

just an unlocked 720.

 

Exactly my point .... I would be calling someone ...

 

Think i am going to try and get the non oc bios through and try that. If that sets the default to the 920 settings then it may be a rubbish bios

Oh god i hate bios flashing

Either way pinged an email to guys at Kobalt i am sure they know then i do lol

 

Bit of an update,

Called Kobalt and the wonderful guys there letting me take it back today and we will trouble shoot either the cpu or the bios, so i will be there after work today...

...much to the annoyance of the Gf

Will report back later

 

Can you get them to hurry up and build my G870 whilst you are there

 

Hopefully it's a real problem with your system and not a non-fixable/wait to be fixed bug. GL!

 

Tell me about it

Edit: Its a wait to be fixed bug, but on priority. Can still run fine on stock, but theres an issue with the release BIOS's parameters once the unlock feature is activated.
Should be fixed early next week hopefully now Clevo know about it.

 

well any 4870 scores yet?

 

running stock got 13.9k cpu score now

Its a bios issue, i now have a temp one till the full one is fixed

 

oh dondah..

stock...

better?

 

Yes many. Just check notebookforums, they have a lot of XF4870 benches, very impressive also.

 

concast shut off my internet and I don't have service at my house with my phone service but tonight I will do some runs and send it to my phone and upkoad to a computer websiite anddo it. But later on.

 

CPU is right but the GPU is still below what the 4870XF can get stock. Start pushing some OC numbers out.

 

nah. It's stock vs stock. We know what the 280m can do overclocked although q56monster got 7800 gpu score...

 

What's the point of that?

 

dondah cant resist o/cing

best run atock i got was about 1097X but was at kobalt so could ss it lol

 

lol.

I need a middle man. Someone who I can email pics to n they post them up here. Pm me if you can...

 

send em to me don

 

I see my competition wants to see my runs before posted. I just sent you a test email. Just tell me if you got it and I will send you the real deal.

 

here is my first efforts

 

Whats wrong with photobucket

 

he is on a palm pre

 

here is dondah at stock

 

Pretty close then at stock with a slight benchmarking lead to ATI.

 

yup this going to b close

 

running 06 and acouple other runs waitingfor pman on to see what's up. With 06 that's all cpu I know h is going to win. That max I got was 17_000 on it. But I'm not giving up.

 

just been benching the cpu.

Ok dondah what you wanna try first?

 

try overclocked cpu vantage...
h run stocked everything and then overclocked cpu
06

re5..

 

in re5 you can do
1920*1080 maxed no aa
1920*1080 maxed 8aa
1920*1080 no aa no motion blur.

I like to run overclocked cpu all the time but I don't know if you an overclock your cpu yet... If not then I will run stock cpu as well....,
then after the stock runs we can do some overclocked gpu.

 

i can clock it but the results are unstable. until we get this bug out of the bios i cant promise cpu clocks

will do re5 and post back this evening (5 hours or so)

 

ok. I will do stock cpu until you get it fixed unless it takes to long. I have to run to work it is 11a right now my time. I will be out at 5pm so more runs to continue...

 

Hmm. My replaced 4870xf will be back in my hands on Monday, may have to join in on the fun here and compare my 4870s (w90) to Dons again

After all Don you had a memcore lead in those crysis benches

 

first video review of Nvidia Fermi

anytime mugenski

 

Liked the link to the review. While I like Vantage and '06 for rough guidelines, because they can be optimized so much, I tend to prefer game benchmarks. Even those have issues and of course games optimized for one or the other can also skew things.

However if the 5870 CF truly comes out sizeably (10fps or more) better on actual games I could be swayed on my M17X R3 purchase. Have to see. I appreciate that whatever side you happen to land on, folks come here to "test" and "see" and let the numbers and personal experiences over the years speak more than one site or one test.

So cheers to the testing - same machine/platform, I7/Intel chipset, and varying cards is the purest testing I can think of.
