    dell's new alienware drivers are now up on their site for the 14, 17, and 18 models. Looks like they have an nvidia driver also for the 700m series. Will give them a try, hopefully these are stable

    update: drivers wont work, compatible graphics not found :(

    New and old vbios. and that run was at 1040/1500-OV
    It will eventually get put out, just not today.

    It's a bit of both, but over clocked and ov with throttling removed.
    It will get put out, just not today. It still needs work.

    Because you are running the 780m in your R4, you will need to modify the .inf file in order for the driver to install.

    Awesome. This is really great news for 780M owners. Better than desktop GTX 680 in our notebooks lol. Who would have thought that was even possible this generation. :p

    Please inform us when the vbios is ready for prime time. Also, what GPU temps you got when benching in 3DMark11 with this new vbios?

    Thanks

    Yes it is great news!
    For as hot as it is here. Temps stay below 80C so far, but will run some time playing crysis 3 to see how it holds up.
    With the option to keep boost at no extra cost to performance. :)

    NDA for what? Card is released, drivers are released, laptops are released. Not sure what the NDA is?

    What clock speeds are those?

    Just ran 3d mark 11 at stock clocks 771hmz core and 2500 mem, got a score of P7331 with my 780m and 4700qm haswell processor. A little lower than i expected, was expecting around the 7600 mark, but it seems to be within the normal range. Since I have an MSI 780m, how stable are the memory chips for a modest 500mhz memory overclock? How stable would an msi gt70 20d system be with a 100-150mhz software overclock with a 180w PSU? Also my GPU now idles at mid 40s... I was getting a bit worried when it was idling in the mid 50s the other day.

    That's just software +135 on the core. I don't see anything special.

    Quick question... what are the normal stock clocks for a 780m?.. 771mhz or 823 according to the nvidia site.

    Is the 780m gpu stock core 771 or 823? my msi lists the stock at 771, whereas the nvidia site lists it as 823... can someone confirm or deny this?

    Gpuz doesn't show the actual last boost state. You see that if you go into gpuz monitoring mode. This will show the correct speed of the clocks.

    Finally managed to do a couple of benchmarks on my P150SM's..

    Results below... I found it strange that with lower clocks + lower temp it was scoring higher with the 311.54 drivers, but while using the 311.27 I had to clock it that tiny bit more which generated a little more heat to get the same result. I'm guessing this was purely a driver related performance difference.

    For those that are wondering, here's the link to clevo for the 311.54 driver that works for the 780M -> CLEVO Driver Download (Caution, I had 311.27 installed, I proceeded to do a clean install, after the reboot and it then attempting to install, it encountered an error. I re-ran the setup and it installed the 311.54 driver fine after that.)


    Make and Model: Clevo P150SM (MetaBox)
    CPU: i7-4700MQ
    Ram: 16gb Crucial 1600mhz (2x8)

    Driver Version: 311.54 ( Stole these Drivers from Clevo W350SH model as it's newer than the current 311.27 for the P1xxSM)
    Benchmark link 1: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM score: P7749 3DMarks GPU Score: 7971
    GPU Core/Memory Mhz: 849/2500 (Stock)
    Peak GPU Temp: 61c

    Driver Version: 311.54 ( Stole these Drivers from Clevo W350SH model as it's newer than the current 311.27 for the P1xxSM)
    Benchmark link 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM score: P8544 3DMarks GPU Score: 8950
    GPU Core/MemoryMhz: 905/2980 (Overclocked using MSI Afterburner)
    Peak GPU Temp: 64c

    Driver Version: 311.27 ( Latest nvidia driver provided by Clevo for the 780M on P1xxSM series)
    Benchmark link 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM score: P8546 3DMarks GPU Score: 8967
    GPU Core/MemoryMhz: 927/3001 (Overclocked using MSI Afterburner)
    Peak GPU Temp: 67c


    I did try overclocking it further using EVGA Precision X and the highest temp I saw ever was 70c on the GPU. I don't doubt the 780M card.. I'm sure it can produce a lot higher scores and still have a decent temp range. My 3D Mark 11 began to randomly crash here and there when I was experimenting with much higher clocks but tempretures were stable. Makes me think the 180w PSU is not cutting it.

    what the? What clocks are those for an almost 10k GPU score?!? Also 180w is enough only for the stock 780m, you need a higher rated PSU for an overclocked system, specially for clocks higher than 920ish/2800ish.

    I did break 10k gpu already, but im hoping this card can do bigger and better things.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3940XM,Alienware M18xR2 score: P0 3DMarks
    180W is no where near going to be enough. You would be far better with 240W. I can pull 240W to 260W and i haven't even set my cpu to full over clock
    That would be fairly close.

    How do you get higher core clocks for the GPU? I am stuck at 980 for now, due to +135mhz on afterburner. And yeah, I know you need a higher PSU specially with an XM CPU and an overclocked 780m. I mean a stock system with no OC whatsoever can do around with a basic 180w PSU.

    You would need to have an unlocked version first. So you could go higher than the 135+

    Don't have the slightest clue about the 485M only because I never had one. And is that 17k over all or gpu? Single or dual gpu system?

    I can only OC the core 50mhz and 500 mem before i start to see artifacts. I can only get a stable 8100 GPU score. The temps never go over 71 C with the turbo boost fan. Is this normal? or did i get a non OCable GPU? i have an MSI gt70 20D AND THE DRIVERS ARE 311.48.

    Just OCed the clock +135 and did a 250 mem OC, the GPU score was around 8500. no artifacts or screen flickers.

    was just about to say, try maxxing out the core first before u start touching the memory. when u oc both at once u dont know which component is causing the artifacts :)

    LOL. That's 3DMark 11 not Vantage. Vantage is a useless test.

    No 3DMark 11 isn't useless really. It doesn't strongly favor CPU, and it has a 720p and 1080p standard benchmarks and are DirectX 11, not 1280x1024 DirectX 10 that you can boost your score significantly by having a modern overclocked CPU like Vantage. Firestrike really shows the ultimate performance capabilities of the GPU only really, but doesn't stress the system as much as the other two tests.

    Vwntage extreme runs at 1920x1200 but its not a common res available so while it still taxes modern hardware its hard to find a comparison.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-1763 score: P8187 3DMarks

    tried pushing the memory to +500 at first, but i got artifacting, so i cut the memory back to +250 and it ran like a charm. Either i didnt get the best memory for this 780m gtx, or my 180w PSU isnt enough for a core and significant memory OC. Hybrid power doesn't do much for OCing this gpu. Also is my cpu score in line with a typical 4700mq? I've seen alot of others have around an 8300ish stock physics score with the same cpu. I know this laptop came with a ton of bloatware and there are no official drivers for the 780m gpu yet.

    Does anyone know when nvidia is planning to release official drivers for the high end 700m line?
    Also would i gain an immediate benefit if i formatted my C drive (mSATA SSD) and removed the crapware that came wtith this pc?

    Unlikely to make an impact on your 3dmark score.

    I have a Clevo P375SM now with 780m SLI. nVidia drivers need some work. Several games don't use both cards, don't use them fully, and even when manually selecting "alternate frame rendering 1" or "2" it's a mixed bag of results.

    These cards have a hard time reaching +500MHz on the vRAM too, and the GPU cores don't like +135MHz either. Trying to find that "sweet spot", but proving more difficult than expected.
