NVIDIA GT 650M Benchmarks

Thanks Kukri, that is better FPS that I thought.

 

Here's my highest score, at the highest stability I could get with 3dmark. Haven't tested it with Furmark.

System: Lenovo Y400, i7-3630QM, GT 650m

Settings: 720p, 1120 Mhz gpu core, 2500 Mhz gpu memory, cpu in high performance mode



3151 baby!

 

Wow! Those are much better benches that I thought coming out of that system.

 

Imagine what an overclocked 750m could do (the new standard in the Lenovo Y series laptops as of this week), lol.

 

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3610QM Processor,CLEVO CO. W110ER score: P3269 3DMarks


This was 9 months ago with my Clevo W110ER and DDR3 vRAM. I'll have to give it a go again soon with updated drivers, BIOS, etc hopefully reach 3400+

 

Nah. Updated drivers will lower the score much I believe.

 

Are you serious or joking?

 

Serious. You can try yourself. As for me 306 is better 3DMark thinking than last WHQL or especially last beta.

 

Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite added. Remember, all my benchmarks are at stock clocks, because as we all know every card has different maximum potential clocks. More benchmarks coming soon!

Keep on benchmarking everyone!

 

I've found Tomb Raider to be rather ridiculously difficult to run at full speed. Very poorly optimized game. I have to play it at high settings (which is 2 levels below the highest settings) to keep it anywhere near 50fps.

 

Tomb Raider looks amazing but is also super demanding. I wouldn't call it poorly optimized the same way I wouldn't say that Crysis and Crysis 3 are unoptimized. Those games actually scale quite well as you adjust the settings, which is not the sign of a poorly optimized game. People who say that are just not acknowledging that these games do require very beefy hardware because of how cutting-edge they are, not because of inherently bad code.

Also you should be using newest drivers as Nvidia hardware had some crippling performance issues in the game on older drivers.

 

Cant overclock AND use the latest drivers . I mean the game looks good and all, but I've seen games that look just as good (Bioshock...) that seem to perform much more efficiently. Hence why I said it feels poorly optimized.

 

Are you using the modded BIOS? As long as you're not using SLI you can overclock without +135 core limit on any driver version with that.

 

I was wondering about that. So I should be able to use software overclocking with any driver version?

 

As long as you have the modded BIOS V2.02. Thought you knew that lol. Guess you haven't been keeping up with the thread on T|I.

 

Thanks, excellent benches!

 

How did you managed to get such a high score?? I got P3180 with my processor at 3.8ghz and GPU clocks at Core 1350mhz and Memory 1160mhz (With OV Bios)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor,CLEVO CO. W110ER score: P3180 3DMarks

My daily P2752 Overclock is 3.6ghz CPU - GPU @ Core 1150mhz and Memory 1140mhz (with UV Bios and low temps)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor,CLEVO CO. W110ER score: P2752 3DMarks

 

New high score for anyone who cares, lol. 3440 in 3dmark11!



cpu: high performance mode
gpu core: 1250 Mhz
gpu memory: 2350 Mhz
gpu voltage: 1.15~1.187v max

 

Nice!

Can you open the overclocking tab in Inspector and show what voltage offset you added? +162 mV I'm guessing? And how did you get your Physics score so high? I've never seen anything above 7700 for the 3630QM. You're just using ThrottleStop, no CPU overclocking (if it's even possible), right?

My biggest concern with doing what you're doing is how much it will reduce GPU lifespan. Plus, I have SLI and AFAIK software voltage control hasn't been unlocked for the Ultrabay GPU yet.

 

The slider is set at +225 mV right now, but I've noticed the correlation between slider levels and operating voltage to be a bit loosey goosey. However, that seems to consistently put it at 1.15 volts or more on maximum load. Doesn't seem like you can lock the boost state with just nvidia inspector, and using .bat files doesn't always work for me, and leads to some issues. Clock offset is +461, memory +350. Not sure why the physx score is very high. 3dmark was set at 720p as usual, lol. Only using throttlestop performance mode.

 

It all depends on the game engine too. Although I find Bioshock Infinite to look quite cartoony and like a Source engine. While it looks good, it still looks old school. Turn off Tesselation and the game runs smooth as butter. Tesselation can cut your FPS in half.

 

Hi i would like to ask if OC-ing my 650M to : +275 to the core and +700 is a very bad idea for daily usage ?

can you sahre what might be a good overclock for daily usage ?

p.s : i use an W150ER by the way

 

As long as your temperatures are in check and there's no lockups or artifacting, overclock away!

 

what's a lock up ?

i have been playing grid 2 for a while , but have been experiencing CTD and after that the clock reverts to the base clock , is that something to be concerned ?

this only occurs mostly in grid actually for me

 

lockup is where your system just freezes or reboots. If you are getting CTD then your clocks are too high. Try adjusting the GPU clock down 20MHz then see if that fixes it. If not then bump the GPU back up, drop down the vRAM 50MHz and play for a bit. If it still does it, drop both, lather, rinse, repeat... until you get a stable system.

 

Managed to get it, as far as I know, stable across everything on 1000/2800 but I'm wondering why I have to dial back my memory clock so much. Anything above 2800 and I get artifacts and my driver crashes.

 

Every card ha a different limit. Looks like you've found yours.

 

Looking back and forth between GPU-Z and Nvidia Inspector, as well as compare other peoples overclocks, I think I actually have a pretty damn good overclocker. I've only done a little bit of testing but I'm rock stable on 1100/2800 while temperatures sway between 60-75 degrees celcius. I've read somewhere that the GT 650M downclocks itself once it reaches 67C but I haven't experienced any of that nor does my GPU-Z sensors show any downclocking.

With that said, I'm really ,really happy about this overclock. Not only are the temperatures more or less the same but I also get more FPS. And I haven't even applied new thermal paste and cleaned the insides, which I will eventually.

Edit #1:

Also, my ASIC quality is 81.8%. Quite good, I think.

 

Hey ho, what have we here? Long time, no benchmark! But then again, can you blame me? I've had my 'new' laptop for a while now to distract me! But the GT 650M is still going strong. These benchmarks in OP are getting outdated. We've had nearly another year of driver improvements to improve performance. I may try to get around to running the benchmarks with the latest driver (as of now that's 334.67) and update the OP accordingly.

 

I haven't had much luck as of late with the 334.67 driver. It crashes multiple times in several games for no reason, even when the card isn't overclocked. I'm sticking with the 332.21 driver.

 

I've not had any issues with the 344.89 release so far.

 

Has anyone run the Unigine Valley Benchmark? For some reason it didn't allow me to run ExtremeHD (probably due to my resolution) but here are my results:

Single 650m

650m SLI

not too bad for single 650m

if i only i get some more volts....

 

Not so bad CPU overclocking either. 40x is something I don't reach. Even on single core. 38x on all.

 

did you ever get the modded vbios? Temps are still fine (50-60C) but when i go above 1050MHz core clock it just freezes.


40x is only on one core. 38 on all. It wont let me go higher. I cant put in a higher off set in the bios. Temperature wise im still fine (85C). Still running your modded bios

 

Not mine, I just edited it a little bit for OCing your and mine CPUs. 1 guy modded another BIOS for me but I don't risk overvolting because found couple solder dots on roads. Never overvolt GPU since then. 1111MHz is my clock for a long time already.

 

nice clock. What is your graphics score on 3dmark then?

it looks like my 650m is doing poor in overclocking. I wonder what is holding me back. Weird thing is that 3d mark and MSi afterburner are giving me two differnt clocks. MSi afterburner says im running at 1150mhz, vs 1050 from 3d mark

 

What is stock voltage under load for your 650M cards? Mine is 1V. I can get 1120 MHz max stable without increasing voltage. Right now, I'm at 1150 MHz @ 1.05V, max temp 75C. 1200 MHz @ 1.1V also works, but it's a bit too hot for my liking (max 85-90C).

 

Probably needs more voltage.

If the sensor reading says it's 1150 MHz, then it's 1150 MHz. 3DMark often detects wrong clock speeds.

 

around 1.0370V

boost clock stable is 1135 for me.


edit: yea i see it, its boost clock vs normal clock!

 

Your 650M has GPU Boost?!

 

I have no boost. Max at current voltage is 1125 or so at 1.075V WITHOUT V.throttling but we know that after 60C voltage throttling comes so it is either 1.025V or 1.032V

 

or thats how gpu z calls it at least

how did you get the extra volts?

for me the 1135 is stable at stock voltage

 

People who modify vBIOS usually disable Boost for stablizing max overclocking.

Use GPU-z sensor and launch any game. Tell me the max voltage of GPU before it reached 60C.

 

1.037

i dont think i go above 60C much

does it lower or increase the voltage above 60C?

 

It lowers to 1.037 I think. Are you completely sure that you clicked to show Vmax in Sensor tab? It will show max result even if it took just a couple seconds.

 

Does it actually run at 835 MHz? Mine says 790 MHz base 835 MHz boost, but it never runs above 790 MHz.

 

it looks like when i go above 60C it lowers to 1.0120V

i think it does

 

Did you check with a monitoring software under load?

 

just checked it does go to 835
