Benchmark on the 7200 with 6990 CF?

I can't seem to find any benches on this system. I'm planning on making a purchase soon and would like to see some data before I do.

 

Hi,

check this out:
AMD Radeon HD 6990M Crossfire - Notebookcheck.net Tech

And you´ll find alot of Benches in the Alienware M18x forum - I now they are not the same system, but the differences shouldn´t be that big.

 

Actually that's the problem, Notebookcheck is blocked for me(that's the not real problem), I'm debating between the 7200 and the m18x. I just can't find any raw data that shows which one is more powerful.

are those results stock or OC'd?

 

Yes, it´s a little bit strange but til now I haven´t seen an owner of the X7200 with 6990m´s. But then, it´s new for now and the shipping has just startet, so it may take a little while.

I attached some screenshots for you from the notebookcheck site about Benches with X7200/ 6990m´s.

 

All stock.

 

X7200's PCIe lanes runs @ x16 while the M18x runs at x8.

 

Thanks for the info, what does it mean for Benches etc.?

 

Curious about this as well.

 

very minimal difference. PCIe x16 performs 1-2% better than PCIe x8.

 

1-5% difference at the most between the two.

 

Is it true that some people are getting 50k+ on the CPU score for vantage with the 7200? I just saw a post from torment regarding his benches (with the 485m GTX's), but my main argument is whether i can pull higher cpu numbers than a 2920xm (which are getting in the 20k's).

 

I think that was just a version of vantage with the "PhysX" bug - when PhysX was not turned off, the CPU score raised to that kind of high scores.

The latest Vantage version doesn´t have that bug anymore.

 

another point: sanndy bridge i7's gpu scalling better than 1st gen i7(per core)
same vga card same setting but only cpu different:
i7 980X@5G score much higher than i7 2600k@5G(cpu score, overall score),
but game fps(gpu score) i7 2600k score higher than i7 980x

 

so what you're telling me is that the x7200 might bench higher than an M18x, but the M18x will perform better in games?

 

Hm, the M18x "only" have the mobile Sandy Bridge CPU´s - the I7 2600k is a 4 core Desktop CPU. Although it´s not the "top of the line" model (yet to come) it beats the extreme CPU with 6 cores of the first I7-Generation in games
So you can expect the mobile SB CPU´s of the M18x to perform similiar to the desktop I7´s that the X7200 is using, and they don´t need so much power like the first gen of I7´s.

 

If the X7200 had the 2600k it would be a no brainer vs. the M18x. In my opinion the M18x is a bit large and the shape of it I never liked much. Have you ever actually held and M18x? it's kind of crossing the line a bit even with a desktop replacement, 1 inch doesn't seem like much, but it's a big difference here. The X7200 is smaller, but has less battery life( ALOT less), and is much more casual atmosphere friendly. I see students at school with Alienware and it just feels like it doesn't belong there. Gaming you won't see too much of a difference, but remember the desktop i7 in the X7200 can run the 6 core CPU, which would be cheaper than the sandy bridge Xtreme chip, and would out perform it in most cases. Also I always liked the desktop series over the notebook due to the cache size being higher in the default config, and the clocks being higher. Also don't forget about triple channel memory.

The X8 and X16 lanes are very minimal as they said, but there is a theoretical throughput limit to x8, but I don't know if you would hit the threshold stock. Overclocking might be a different story, but I still can't see it, but maybe someone knows. Really the most impressive difference between the two is the battery life, you're looking at around 3.5 hours with normal use browsing and such at higher brightness .They tout more, but that's idle and lowest brightness...not really a point to that, unless you like doing nothing.. The X7200 you're looking at 45 minutes in the same conditions. Although in the end these things are not very portable, you might think they are, but if you haven't owned one, then you will change that tune quickly. Then you will get tired of even lugging it around, and it will probably sit on your desk hooked up to all kinds of peripherals. Then you will wonder why you didn't just build a killer gaming PC and maybe bought a P151H1 or even a netbook for casual gaming and portability for around the same price. But if you have the dough and don't care go for either they're both nice. They're neat don't get me wrong, and when you DO need to move it, it's convenient, but until you actually own one, your perceptions are going to be a bit different.
