Benchmark Scores for FX laptops

Wanted to make a thread where we can brag on our computer about who has the highest benchmark scores and also see how to raise your scores. When you post your results let us know if it was OC and at what and the drivers being used...

Rules: 1. Res no lower than 1280 800
2. must post if OC and what ex 620 930
3. list processor
4. what driver
5. Must use 3dmark06

Standings

Here is a link that you can download the 3dmark06 . Link http://www.futuremark.com/download/3dmark06/ Just scroll down and pick a location to download it called 3dmark06 I downloaded it from the Gu ru place.. Good luck

 

Did you OC your GPU? I got up to 8400 on the SFX by Oc'ing to 620/930, from the low 7000's

 

if you have a 1920x1200 screen then you can run the real resolution 1280x1024 for testing 3dmarks and if you have the 1440x900 screen then you cant so the scores are going vary by quite abit.

 

no I did not over clock i dont know how but would love to know how. How did you oc?

 

Download NTUNE from NVIDIA....you can OC' it from your Dispply Properties menu..

 

I got 8578 with a T9300, with overclock I got 9810.

 

No overclocking with the 174.60 drivers I got a score of 7400.

 

I OCd my P-6831FX (T5450 CPU) 8800M GTS from the default 500/800 to 620/930 and instead of 7025, I get 7245. I expected at least 8000...only I have this problem? Or this is normal ? (which I dont think so)

 

Maybe you guys need to post OC, same numbers or no OC, to see what the deviation is over several post?

 

This is what I got with T8300 OC using Riva Tuner 500MHz/1001/MHz/360MHz and the Nvidia 171.16 Drivers

Awsome my bench marks went up dont know why.
Went from 7800 to 7959 still not oc at 1280 1024 res

 

Heck ya just oc at 620 930 3dmarks 9242

 

that's because of the cpu. He has a 8100 and the pc is the bottle neck.

check my sig.

 

7767 with 174.60 drivers no OC.

I still think I can squeeze more out of it without OC'ing by just tweaking some more....

 

so how do i OC? lol

 

go yo NVIDIA and download it here it is called Ntune http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.54.00.html

 

Here is my score running t7700 and Gpu overclocked at 640/940.

Hey man is that stabel at 640 940 also what res?

 

7895 P-171x fx stock with 2 7200rpm raid 0
174.60 driver

 

Something odd happened to me yesterday, I did a windows update and one of the items on the list was a NVidia driver. I had the 174.60 driver already installed and had the 3dmark score that I posted on page 2 of this thread. Two odd things happened with this update. 1. It installed an older version of the driver immediately, no crazy deleting of the old driver or anything, not even a reboot, it just did it right on the fly (why can't we install drivers that easy???). 2. With the older stock driver from Nvidia my 3Dmark score went up a little over 100 to 7890!!! I think I'll stick with the stock driver for now.

 

Guys, I'm getting a p6831 for myself. Do I need to buy a T-series processor for better performance. I'm only going to be playing one game every couple of months, doing image editing (Photoshop and Lightroom), office work and music. How much will I benefit from, say going to a T8300?

I'd like to get the max. bang for the buck, and will keep the system for the next 2-3 years.

 

your 3dmark score will vary from time to time. There are some things to keep in mind is what other applications is your computer is running at the time. Anti Virus programs suck up a lot of ram. There are also some programs that may have memory leakage. It is recommended that you run 3dmark right after you do a fresh reboot.

 

I get 6879 with a P-6831FX with stock clocks and 171.16 drivers. It seems that the older the drivers are, the better 3DMark06 score you get. I will no revert back or go forward for now, as 171.16 is stable and performs well.

 

I love my T9300 processor but a t8100 is a good processor aswell.

are you using a different AC adapter.

 

7306 all stock except I have the 174 drivers.

Weird thing is that I have a P-6831 FX but it has a T5550 1.8ghz CPU but the box says its a t5450.

 

Nope, using stock and i haven't heard any of the sounds everyone speaks of

 

I take that back, everything is nice and stable in WOW and DMC but when playing Crysis, card crapped out. I'll adjust and update you guys l8r

 

The newer drivers decrease benchmark scores, but improve real game performance (my experience at least).

Well this laptop pwns pretty much every single game out there... except Crysis (which I have really come to enjoy).

I'd like to see how these faster CPU's improve the experience in Crysis, World in Conflict and Supreme Commander (those last two are just barely playable at max settings - another 15-20 fps would be great).

Can anyone comment on that?

 

Yaboydj, what is your AC adapter watts since you have the XL version you might have a bigger AC adapter mine is 120w what is yours.

 

I have the same 120w. I don't have the XL version, I have the Best Buy retail, i just upgraded it with a x7900 i bought on ebay.

 

With the X7900 and the video OC'd (2.99Ghz and 625/880) I was able to get an AVG 28.07fps and Max 38.02fps using the Crysis GPU Benchmark. Once I get a decent laptop cooler I'll try it again with my previous max (640/940) and let you know what i get from that. Would push the processor more but don't want any power problems

Edit: I am also using 167.46 drivers

 

Just did World in Conflict with same settings as above:
In-game graphics High = Avg 38 fps Max 78 fps
In-game graphics Very High = Avg 21 fps Max 65 fps

 

Hey yaboydj now that you have the x7900 do you have the option of of overclocking the processor in the bios like the 171xl does?

 

If I overclock GPU to 640/940 with any driver other than stock Gateway, video crashes, but with stock driver perfectly stable at those clocks and higher. 3d 06 doesn't seem to improve with higher clocks so I'm sticking with 640/940.

 

Also, using Memset am able to tweak memory timings some. Can't run 4,4,4,12 but will run 5,4,4,12. This brought my memory score in Vista to 5.2 from 4.8.

 

Yeah, as soon as i installed and went into bios, the "Extreme Overclock" option appeared. Only lets you go from 2.8 or 3.0. No in-betweens or higher.

 

tjsanda, are you able to play Crysis for more than 5 min with the stock drivers? I played for around three or four min and the video crapped out on me so had to lower to 625/880. All my other games work fine with 640/940 but i know crysis is a lot more demanding

 

I play Crysis, BF2, and Call of Duty 4 all with no problems at all. Olny thing is that stock driver is not DX10 for Crysis.

 

With FRAPS I get 28fps avg at 1440*900 MEDIUM.

Using the Crysis Benchmark Tool to run the timedemo, I get 31 fps (same settings as above).

Crysis performance is identical regarding of the driver I try.

The World in Conflict performance is pretty close to mine too.

My 6831fx is still stock (except drivers).

 

Don't know if it matters, but I use a Notepal laptop cooler when playing.

 

I'll try FRAPS with 1440*900 Medium and see if i get the same. I should definitely be getting more if you're running stock

Laptop cooler definitely makes a difference. My card kept crapping out because of overheating.

 

I bought Gears or War for the PC (was on sale for $25 up here in Canada).

I'm running FRAPs and halfway through I have not seen teh framerate dip below 40 fps with everything maxed out and AA on. I played the game through a couple of times on the 360 and I can tell you the graphics are _much_ better on the FX. Very crisp and detailed textures.

I also really like the way that Live works on the PC - although they should allow access from windows (like MCE).

 

That is putting it mildly. Yours should crush mine.

 

You might want to back down to non OC settings to get a baseline reading on your FPS. As I learned from OC on my 7900GS, not all games like or get real cranky with OC, like timing conflicts.

With all stock clocks I picked up 8FPS AVG form stock CPU to T9300. When OC on GPU the game did not feel as smooth nor much, if any, faster. I need to OC again and run the internal bench if I install Crysis again.

Can you post your 4 run internal benchmark file? You have to throw out the first run, look at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th run.
