For everyone with X9000 + 8800M GTX

I am really curious to know what peoples 3dmark06 are. Only for people with X9000 and 8800M GTX in normal settings 1280x1024. I myself have 9647 with windows vista 32bit and stock drivers 167.43

 

Hello! I had the exact same laptop as you ,with x9000 and 8800m gtx, and got around 9500 at 3dm06. I was able to overclock it until I reached 11400 in 3dmark(mostly gpu bios overclocking). Got rid of it cause i thought it was to small for me . I also used a bloatware removed Vista ultimate X64.. and 174 something drivers...
now im getting a 20"

 

cool... I wish I knew how to OC the gpu so i can get a higher score but i dont know how..i tryed to use riva tuner and it didnt really help then i tryed to use ntune but everytime i try to change the sliders and click apply they change back to normal core 500Mhz Mem 799Mhz.....Grrrrrr

 

They go back to stock because you are not using modded drivers. Go to www.laptopvideo2go.com and you'll find updated drivers for your rig. Then you go overclock and the sliders will stay put.

 

See my sig for my scores. I overclocked the GPU using NiBitor and NVFlash.

 

Is that in XP or vista?

 

XP with SP3

 

running mine stock i get 9.6k 3dmark06 score driver 174.74 vista HP x64
dont really want to OC happy how it performs already.

 

I get a score of 11600. I have my processor 3.45 (230fsb) and the video card doesnt overclock well but it is a little bit.

Did you get the CPU to 3.45 wirth the default voltage?
Is it a retail CPU or an Engineering Sample?

 

oki i have learned how to use NiBitor and NVFlash but now i have wasted 6 dvds lol trying to get it to boot to dos..i think i got it now but when i booted to dos i went to the folder where i have nvflash and my new and old bios file. when i type nvflash --protectoff it says "No nvidia drivers found" do i have to add my nvidia drivers on that folder too?

 

There is no way to change voltage on the processor that I am aware of. I set the processor at 2.8ghz(using the multi option) in the bios and use setfsb to 230 to get up to 3.45.

 

There is no way I can get that high.

You must mean that you set the CPU at 3.0GHz in the bios (15x200) and then get to 3.45GHz using 15x230. If you set it at 2.8Ghz the multiplier will be 14 and 14x230=3.22GHz only.

Did the X9000 come with the laptop, and if yes which company? As mine I got from Ebay and cannot overclock well at all.

 

I got mine from a guy selling it on Ebay too.. yea 15x200 3ghz..

It could be your memory that wont clock well too.. processor is probly fine.

 

yes finally i learned to flash shooohoooo..got rid of vista and installed windows xp pro..settings are 600 1350 850. i got 10870 in 3dmark06

 

How much did you guys pay for the X9000? I`m trying to see the average price all around...

 

i bought mine from some guy in sweden that had a couple of them. for those of you who live in sweden, i found it on blocket. 4200kr = 690$ shipping included. i could hook you guys up i think if he still has any left.

 

damn just OC my lappy again to 600 1450 900 and got a 3dscore06 of 11232, thats over 1200 more points that i had when i had stock. am satisfied now.

 

Must be my ram then. What ram do you have?
And is your CPU an Engineering Sample or not? (do you remember if it had 2.8GHz written on it or just the CPU codes?)

BTW paid $620 for mine. If anyone is looking for one at that price let me know.

 

do you have a usb stick.. imo i would do this that way... get the hp usbstick utility here: http://www.noxtek.com/panties/files/1/bootfromusbkey/SP27608.zip

then use these dos files here: http://www.noxtek.com/panties/files/1/bootme.zip

install and open the hp usb program with admin rights.. plug in the usb key. name the key whatever you feel like. i called mine simply "doskey" choose fat32 and check the format and create boot disk options, then direct it to the folder where you extracted the dos files. let it finish.

open my computer and go to the usb key device. now copy the whole nvflash folder to the key. along with anything else you want to use while in dos. reboot. go into the bios and set the usb key as the first boot device. save and reboot.

now you will have a c: prompt. you can now type dir\ and see your files. direct the command line to the right folder and hit enter. this should look like cd\<folder where files are> then hit enter.

now use the nvflash command to start it up..

 

just got it up to 11869 by oc fsb to 450...16*212

 

Hi i have my X9000 set at 3.2 by Bios and oc'd my gtx by vbios to 600/1550/900
By incresing the FSB there is a increse in the bandwith for the pci express card making it a bit faster but also more unstable.(so i dont use it)
With these settings i get a 11000 3dmark06 score.
Nice overall temp and i dont loose any warranty cuse the cpu is made for OC
(unlocked bios).
Cant say the same for the gtx but with max temp of 67 im ok.
