Nagamaki Benchmark Thread and pictures

Since pretty much every single thread I start gets me slammed by a handful of people. I would polietly ask for nothing but positive and questions to be asked in this thread. If you have something to say you are unsure if you should post polietly send me a PM and I will respond with the PM quoted or will answer it VIA PM.

I have alos made a compilation of pictures and Benchmarks. Alot are out of the Box and will do my best to label them to identify with the updated ones.

I am going to reserve the first 10 post or so.

Ok here are the specs:
Killer Notebooks Nagamaki
4G DDR 3 1333
Crossfire HD 3870's

 

Underside of the laptop-








3DMark06






Performance Test:


WPrime:



3DMark vantage- out of the box before any updates.


COD4: - Some random pictures:








Crysis- Very High 1920x 1200 Have some more that will go up soon.

 

Currently in the works.








Everest:


Another 3D06- have better ones to upload but here is a decent on I had on the thumb drive:

 

Antoher saved spot.

 

Yet another one

 

Here is a saved spot

 

More saved spots.

 

Great pics and info mhooper +rep

 

those holes look similar to the ones E-Wrecked posted but the pics are a lot higher quality, and thus, the appearance is quite different. I wish he'd stop posting pictures that look like he took of a computer screen with his camera phone.

 

Nice pics hoop.. also, nice rig overall. The OCZ is a sweet system, with unlimited potential.

 

Is the card in the OCZ system actually in crossfire as in 2 separate cards or is it a X2 unit with 2 cores on one board?

 

It' two GPUs linked by fiberoptics(I think thats what the cable is) - and also, the two cards are set to perform as *one* single card. But, yes..it is a Crossfire setup.

 

Can you post farcry 2 tests?

I've read from guru3d that one 3870 card in desktop market was hit 14fps at 1080p with everything max so if it was crossfire, it can hit 28 fps(as high as possible but I think it can't). I think 40 fps from 3870x2 in laptop is unbelieveable.

 

I have another request for some gaming benchmarks if you have the time to run them. Try running Fallout 3, Assassins Creed and The Witcher on high/full details.

Thanks

 

Yeah it is unbelievable. Very nice laptops and very nice to see one crossfire one finally. If compared to my M1730 I am although limited by my T7700 CPU. But I managed to get 38 fps average in DX10 and Ultra High benchmark.

So over 40 fps with this notebook is really good. Crossfire scales well.

 

>.> where did you get 40 fps average from? The average fps never went above 18.32 max fps never even came close to 40.

 

It doesnt matter what I seem to ask every thread gets derailed.

I am trying to provide benchmarks, because every time I do they get buried 10000000 pages down because of off topic conversations and also causes me to miss questions or post.

Far Cry 2 - Will go and buy tonight and run.

 

thanx for the pics, very interested in this laptop from Killernotebooks
can i ask what do you think of the custom cooling mod thing (drill holes on base of laptop) do they look okay?

 

wow... so you never run it right? you said you got 47 from farcry2 but you don't have it.

 

I think that is what E-wrecked got via DX9. hooper never tested FC2 AFAIK.

 

yeah he never tested but he claimed he got 47 if you have read old thread

 

Here is my quote for all the bull**** crusaders

"IN far cry 2 I have seen 47 AVG FPS in without the new BIOS update. , I did lose some data when I reinstalled Vista but I will reinstall and run it again for you. I didnt do fallout 3 but will see about getting a copy this weekend"


No i need to buy the full version of the game. What is with all the accusations.

I was going to reinstall the demo, however I was going to go buy the full version so I can get mroe than just a simplistic test of it.

. I make a new thread to keep the BS out of it and it never fails.

I try to post benchmarks, give input, provide pictures. I catch more heat on this website from people than I have ever in my life for trying to help. You kids need to get a life.

Lets see I asked polietly if people could please keep questions to PM, did that happen no. I get a bunch of nonsense. I have 4 other thread that have been derailed. Go pos tin them I will check them too. This one was for an oraginzed place for me to put benchmarks what happens people come in and derail it to..

 

I keep on forgetting that games have demo versions that can easily be obtained. I gotta do a better job of keeping track of benchmarks (i.e, who did them and on what machine, etc.)

 

thank for your try and this thread is your so I'll not bother you again.

 

I dont know if you have this game, but Id like to see some crysis benchmarks. If you dont, dont go out and buy it just for me (although it is a pretty sweet game). I just hadnt seen it yet and it seems to be one of the more common benchmarking games right now.

 

I posted some on very high, My orginally copy was flubbed. The seocnd one I only did on very high. So at some point I will get it done on high although it isnt a top riority right this second. As me and John had discussed its going to be slightly behind the 9800GTX's I think. But it can come close. I think that is pretty much the consensus on Crysis. However when some better drivers come out i think it might do better. Mark has some new drivers for me to try out.

 

Alright, let us know how much the driver change helps/hurts. To make it easy for you, just post whichever one gets the best results. I think thats what we are looking for anyway you know? However, I think it would be nice if you would include the increase in fps or decrease in fps, not only to show driver progression but also for people who are looking to try out those drivers themselves. Then they will know if it is worth the hassle. If you dont have the old results, dont worry about it. I just thought that the comparison between the old driver and new driver would be cool

 

I think you can't come to close 9800m gtx in crysis. johnksss talk he can get 25 with q6600 (gpu oc I think) if he go with q9550 it may boost up to 28-30 in very high setting so your 18 fps so far from 28 (about 40%). Driver can't boost it much in my opinion.

so..I've just commented and don't flame you because I don't want to argue with you again (let your thread run pretty well like you want)

 

Great benchmarks mhooper1125!
Have a couple questions
Did you drill those holes yourself? or did you get it done at the factory?did it help with the cooling?
The intel extreme tuning utilty program is that for OCing and can you use it for any GPU? and is it available?

 

One thing that many arent catching here it that all of these benchmarks with the QX9300 are running 2 cores at 3.2 but the other cores are running at 2.54 still since the BIOS that was distributed only supports 2 cores. SO al teh OCing is causing 2 cores to be insae and the other 2 to be well ****.

Thos holes were drilled by Mark before he sent mine. It helps ALOT with cooling im well below others in temps.

The XTU extreme tuning utility is for motherboard developers only. It can overclock the GPU, Ram, FSB, and CPU and also unlocks the Bios multiplier even higher. Intel haid thiers to 3.8Gigs with a custom cooler.

Mark is working on a Pelter cooler for my system when the time comes for that.

In regards to getting the tuning utility. Good Luck you would have to ask Mark but it took a ton of time a ton of research and ALOT to get it.

Intel only has it for their Extreme desktop boards available to the public and resellers =) It wont work for mobile boards unless you get the one I have.

So in closing we are working on getting the BIOS to set all cores up to that and that is why the x9100 is doing so well basically the quad core is running 2 of its cores amazingly and the other 2 are stock. So once that is corrected should be able to see 28-30 FPS on VERY HIGH. Right now the best saved score ( I lost some) is 20FPS on the last run the other 3 where lower but the last run pulled through.

 

Seriously? No offense, but if you want to leave him alone, just don't comment at all. Yes, you were much more polite this time, but not commenting at all might have been better.

At any rate, feel free to drop by and see what he can come up with, I'm sure he won't mind, so long as it doesn't generate into a pissing contest.

 

uhm.. hoop, you sure it is the BIOS that is causing the quad-core not to be utilized man? Or, is it that there aren't many programs that *need* and can *use* 4 cores. Cause, if the program isn't quad-multi-threaded, then the unused cores sit idle. Do a google for quad-core supported programs..download one, and then have a monitor running in the background to see if all 4 cores are used. Then, you'll see if it is truly capable. The rig itself is advertised as a quad-core, and supports the qx9300. So, Im thinking that it is the software not needing it, cause none really do as of yet. Just some ideas man..lemme know how it goes.

and hoop, this is just a side note ma'an.. don't worry bout what may be on or off topic, you're just adding unneeded stress to yourself. You don't ever jump on folks, but the people who jump in your thread(RunningGunner) often do. But, if ya notice..aside from out first run-in, I havent given you any crap, period. So..maybe you should make clear the folks who *start* stuff, are not welcome. Anyhow, love ya man..keep pushing the limits, and set the bar high..cause Im gonna knock it straight off the posts.

 

Yes Im sure I will post an everest screen shot. Just using the muliplir set changin nothing else the first 2 cores come in at 3.3 Gigs cores 3 and 4 are at 2.54

 

Oh yea I have a new 3D06 mark for you....actually a few...can we say 16k what?

Good luck keeping up =)

 

Didnt want to blow you a way but here is one of them. Have too many to count lol.

 

how bout you submit those into Orb and post the link? Id like to find out where Im lacking. Obviously the CPU. but other than that, Id like to see what I need to tweak.

 

It isnt the CPU. Look at where mine is clocked man. Basically im running on 2 cores and my csores will be way way higher once i get all 4 cores around the same operating speed. Think about it lets say you have 2 cores running at 3.5 Gigs then 2 that are running at 2.5 when the program goes to utilize all 4 it causes stuttering because of the insane drop of Gigs.

The x9100 shoul dbe able to score higher until Mark can get the BIOS to read and step up all 4 cores.

 

That's too bad about the intel extreme utility program,does it come with every rig Mark puts together or are you just one of the luck few?

 

3dmark06 may not *support* 4 cores. It's not the BIOS.. it's the software being used man. It doesn't matter if all 4 are active or not, obviously the quad-core helps, compare your CPU to mine. BUT.. my 2 cores are all that drives 3dmark. There's not 2 cores sitting there twiddling their pins... That's why I said, download a program(if you can find one), that uses quad-core-multi-threading..and then watch those other 2 cores actually go to work.

 

I am one of the lucky few since I had a connection to help acquire it. So I am going to assume he will want to keep it for clients only once throughly tested. It is an incredible peice of software and I havent even really begun to use it (None of my benchmarks include using it yet)

Form what I gathered Intel will NOT to distrbuting this software to end users or resellers.

 

It will be supplied with the i7.. from what I understand, as long as it is an intel MOBO. - and the reason being, the i7 is like an AMD. No northbridge to command the FSB..therefore XTU. And, at that point..it will be readily available for MOBOs using the x9100, and qx9300.. and if you search for Intel Desktop Conrol Center(if memory serves me), then you'll see XTU has been around.. just different, less catchy brand name.

 

Yea 3Dmark does utilize all teh cores I have intel threading utility. However it takes bad hits in frames when it drops from core 1 and 2 to core 3 and 4. so it effect the visual end of my score....doesnt make sense I know but your just going to have to trust me on this. Once fixed I should see 17k+

You would have to see it to understand what im talking about. In any event Ashintar's is at 16.7k with the x9100 Nagamaki.

The CPU overclocks helps tremendously with SM2 and SM3 scores and mine is stepping because of the difference in core speeds. Sucks but what can you do right?

It is a BIOS porblem, since that is the multiplier clock.

 

Sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know.Good for you man, I don't know why all the good stuff is always held back from us people.
I'm sure a lot of people would love to use that program even if we had to pay for it.
Yeah I also read that the new i7 core chips will have some sort of instant OCing sort of like a turbo button, now that's cool!

 

Well form talking with Intel it will SUPPORT the I7 Desktop board but still might not be included.

it has to be used specificaly with the baord it was desinged for they are NOT cross compatiable.

 

Well something to keep in mind =) . I would also have to review the NDA I signed.

 

Oh BTW E-wrecked the XTU has been supported in Intels products for a while. There is alot to it trust me. Good luck getting it =).

As far as it being readily avail for the x9100 and qx9300 and mobile/notebook boards- From Intel " This product will NOT be available to end users and resellers".

If you want more information about it give Mark a call tommorow he might be able to explain it better.

 

You had to sign a NDA, man what are they thinking you are going to do with this laptop, takeover the world!

 

Who knows lol. Well im going to get back to work as i said if you want to know some more info on it give Mark a call tommorow and he can give you an idea of future plans etc.

 

hoop, this is the internet. Anything, and everything is available. If I really wanted I could download it as a torrent right now. Im not realy all that worried about it though. And, if ys jog that memory of yours..you'll remember I pointed out the Desktop App included it. And it's really nothing more than a software OC that talks to the ACPI. Just like any other OC. MSI, is the board to watch out for.. the MSI with i7 will be SICK! You can run a BIOS from a USB drive to test it for performance, before you flash. You can NEVER have a bad flash. AND, it will let you do ANYTHING you want to the BIOS. If you *somehow* burn up the EEPROM, you buy another and just snap it in. It's sick!

Here's a bit about it:

wow, the race is on for 16K.
