x7200 Benchmark thread

nice scores m8 and thanks for the up date

 

I plan to have the maximum power in the Clevo x7200 !!!
You can overclock the CPU Intel i7 990X in Clevo x7200 at 4.5 ghz ???
is this possible???

 

All we need is a screenshot or a link like this. BTW, this 8k score in 3DMark11 was achieved with i7-2920xm+6970Mx2.

 

Hi m8 hold back a bit until we found out if the Bclk multiple is lock or not then i will answer. becouse running this bby at 4.5 means to bump the Bclk to 180 and that comes with some other dangers like the ram and a hole bunch of other stuff can get damage but if the Bclk multiple is locked it can be unlocked then we are talking what your cooling can handel Oc aka bumping the multiple up from 25 to 31 with only the heat and volt to think about

 

yehaa my two 485 is finaly arriving to morro bin stuck in customs for a month
started preping via lapping one of the GPU coolers to morro the other one is going to get lapped only down side is dont have any IC D at home and its a B to get in Poland so i have to go with AS 5 but thats ok to
Have taken some pics will post them when im done with the other cooler and the cpu cooler and the shims

 

Hi guys my pics and benching will be delayed a little ran out of sand paper for the lapping of the GPU coolers since i calculated that i could use the ones i had but i got new ones with the cards with a dif GPU stamping in them so the old ones wont due since the stamping is placed in a dif place so it can interfere with the cooling i think dont kill me if im wrong havent done proper mezurements but just looking at them there is a small dif so getting new paper to morro and trust me they arent straight any where alot sanding to do

First run after installation pics and Oc max on standard Vbios and Oc max on Bumpt VBios coming later have to try these bbys out in some real gaming

 

hit 33000 to night will up load later

 

33K for Vantage...Excellent! Are you going to give us your best 3DMark 11 scores?
_

 

Need to download it first
might not be able to give valid online scores on 3dmark11
but you all are just going to trust me and the screen snip i will do a full screen snip so you all get the time and date as well if its more trustfull il make a pic with a cam insted

 

Sounds like a great score! Congrats...
What´s the GPU score of that run? Did you turn off PhysX?

 

wow 750 core......
did you take a shot at gpu core? curious about your batch

 

the physx was not off gpu score was 28638 i think i could push it higher do
i ran about 30 benches with Vantage all documented i was running the CPU at 3.9ghz to get this score 33016 with a 60994 CPU score
But CPU scores eyrlier was much higher top i think was 66682
here is a link to my score 33016

yes cant up load to night do but i will upload them to gether with my lappig the GPU cooler pic's i think it helped since i think highest temp during all benching was 70c with a 20c ambient and Arctic Silver 5
im not on my BBy wright now other wise i would load ia pic directly but

 

Give us some 3dmark11 scores, Torment78!!! But 33000 in Vanatge seems like an overkill, sometimes i forget it was ran on a laptop)

 

Great job, Torment! 28.6k GPU score - wow!

 

Here i some pics from when i resived the GPU's and was lapping the GPU Heat zinc's
Unpacking the box

the first pic is the most important

By torment78 at 2011-06-17

here is the Heat zinc Like it comes before i remove any thing

By torment78 at 2011-06-17
the thermal pads are very fradgile so be careful when removed put them on a clean plastic film and dont remove the green plastic put so its facing up
the preaplied Paste you need razor blades for and alcohol to clean of dont scrape to hard so you scratches becouse they are hard to get out


By torment78 at 2011-06-17

Here is some pics from difrent stages under the process

How i did it

Spoiler

Started with 240 grit and just do the movment like when you lap a CPU up and down in 40 reps den turn 80degree do 40 more untill almost flat then go with 320 grit just do the same but this time untill its compleatly flat then go for 400grit rotate after 40 then when you see there only markings from the 400 paper and its still flat keep on going to a higher grit count you be ok to stop at about 1000 or 1500 grit then you just get your polish paste and a cloth and start going at it when done clean with alcohol to make shore that no paste resedue or finger prints left on the heat zinc bada bing your done

AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL

Thanks m8
I also have a question for you have you heard any thing regarding the Bclk multiple
becouse its eating at me since if it is Bios locked then its possible to unlock it
But if its hardware locked then its a dif story
and if the Mobo cant handle it the we are scruwed

I save the screen so it would safe now i cant find it will do a new run and take screen later

All overclocking was done with Setfsb for the CPU
and EVGA Precision 2.0.2 for the GPU's
NiBiTor was used for modding the VBios thanks to Mavke @ MVKtech.net
for hooking me up with ver 6.03
hope all you guys like the post
more will be done for Vantage non physx and 3dmark11 and Pcmark 7

 

PM this guy and maybe he can shed some light on the matter.

 

thanks m8
if you need some help just PM me ok(im mostly helpful with semi eligal links or down...... )

 

So here are my new and last Benches with the 6970m CF - too many problems and so I will change them to GTX 485m SLI... cards already here, waiting for the heatsinks...

The cards are great when they are working, but since just too many programs are causing trouble with crossfire that I would like to use, I am back to nvidia...

So here with 11.6 the last and highest Benches I could reach - and with the I7-970 overclocked, doesn´t seem to make a difference now to 990x (going up to 3,8 GHz). I didn´t try to push it to the limits, there maybe still is room for some more OC with the I7-970, I´ll try later with the 485m...

Sorry to hear about your problems. Not sure if you got a bad set of cards but I recently installed Clevo-type 6970Ms in my Alienware M17x-R2 and I haven't had any problems thus far when it comes to gaming. Even your memory issue vantage is strange because I'm able to OC the memory past 1050mhz using that benchmark.

Good luck with your 485Ms and I hope they serve you well.

 

Hi ichime,

thanks!
Wow, that´s interesting about your M17x-R2... Did you post some Benches anywhere?

I think one card can not overclock the memory that well, it did get a little better when I changed the master/ slave. But of course, if one card can´t go higher than it´s the end of it.
I don´t have that many issues as with the ES ones before, and in many cases I can get work something out like using RadeonPro etc., but that get a little bit exhausting after a while...
Most of it seems driver related or has to do with the programs... like in Shift 2 unleashed, I now get 50-60 FPS since 11.5b but nevertheless sometimes after a race I get a black screen.
Or in Red Alert 3, still get BSOD´s with high shaders.
They solved the C&C3 problem with 11.6, that´s one .
And with Dirt 3 I had no problems since the Patch. That almost made me forget about the trouble, but as soon as I "dare" playing one game from the ones that didn´t work properly before, I get more than reminded...

I will see what I can get going with the 485m cards and if I get similiar problems, then I think SLI/ crossfire ain´t for me for a long time starting now... and I had to pay a good bill for that knowledge .

 

I posted benchmarks towards the bottom of my original post in this guide:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...6970m-your-m17x-r2-single-gpu-crossfirex.html

I didn't go any further because I only have a 240w PSU and the overclock was close to tripping my system.

I have a feeling though that things will be better for your system with the 485M cards since Clevo's dual GPU systems are always built around nVidia cards. But if you do have the same or similar problems, my next venture would be to look at the RAM modules because those have been known to cause some issues in EA published/developed games.

 

Finally! Heatsinks for the GTX 485m arrived...

Did some Benches, stock and with "GTX 580m" stock clocks... should be interesting to compare them to "real" GTX 580m.
And did some OC with the i7-970 up to 3,8 GHz... and some more to the GPU up to 700/ 1600 (mem)/ 1400 (shader) with 1V - will do some "serious" oc with the 1.03V vBios I found and post again!

So, my first impressions, and I think I maybe one of the only persons who switched from 6970m to GTX 485m in X7200...

1. Stablilty: So far, NO BSOD´s, black screens or other with 485m... Shift 2 Unleashed runs great in SLI in highest settings without crash - other than 6970m... NO crahses with Red Alert 3 in highest settings anymore... can run "Assasins Creed brotherhood" in highest settings - couldn´t with 6970m CF. Crysis 2 with Patch 1.09 runs great in DX11, Ultra settings. 30-40 FPS average. No flickering or slow downs as with crossfire.
2. Benches: The stock benches are LOWER than the ones with the 6970m except in 3DM Vantage... but not too much. And if it can run games more smoothly, it is worth it...
3. Temps: The temps with 6970m were good - but idle was at 250/900 at 50-60°, and with GTX 485m it idles at 40° and lower clocks WITHOUT problems.
Highest temps were 80° with Furmark running about 4 minutes. I think if I can do a better paste job, it will even go down...
4. Overlocking: The GTX 485m seems to be a good overclocker, better than 6970m in the X7200... but I am at the beginning right now, will do more after I played some games and get some real game experience...

From what I´ve learned about the 6970m in another chassis, like P170HM, or from what I´ve read about the Alienware M18x, 6970m runs much better if not in X7200! I don´t know if it´s just my X7200 or in general, but my conclusion is: Go with nvidia in X7200 - if you have a P170HM or an Alienware, the 6970m might serve you well...

Now this thread is about Benchmarks... here are some: Of course with physx disabled!

STOCK CLOCKS - 3D Mark 06, Vantage, 11

Clocks of the GTX 580m - 3D Mark 06, Vantage, 11

Stock clocks GPU, but I7-970 overclocked! - 3D Mark 06

GTX 580m clocks, I7-970 overclocked! 3D Mark 06, Vantage, 11

Overclocked the GPU (1V, not 1.03 yet!) and the i7-970:

Better try driver tweak to install 580m driver on 485m.
That could not increase benchmark scores but may be helpful to gaming performance.

BTW: I always speculate nvidia would turn to 580m and stop optimizing 485m's gaming performance.

 

Congrats with the results, Tirenz!!! It's better to have stability rather than performance in certain titles. Seems like you've scored both with Nvidia cards. Hope you'll achieve better results with the next 280.xx drivers (probably official for 580M) and 1.03v bios) x7200 rocks!

 

So does it get lower than 30 fps in Crysis 2 DX11? did you bench with the system stock or OC'ed?

 

Hi,

485m and 580m should use the samer driver, or am I wrong?

I used Fraps and played about 10 minutes, stock clocks of GTX 485m.
One Framerate got as low as 26, but all other were 30, highest 60 FPS.

Runs great!

 

They could use the same driver I think.
However, I checked the nvcv.inf in 580m driver on clevo site, only 560m and 580m are included.

 

For some reason Vantage and 3DMark 11 will not run or complete with the new beta drivers (Verde 280.19) for me. How is this driver working for you? One bench I was able to complete was the below.

 

it must be some thing with the 580m and the 280 driver becouse my 485m's are running 3dm11 and vantage great

 

? what reason??
me 280.19 too
vantage no improve at all
3d11 gpu score rise to 61XX

 

The 280 Beta driver seems to be a real beta-beta-driver .
Not only that I didn´t get any improvements with that driver (Benches, games I play, though I can finish them all with my 485m), Dirt 3 stuttered a little bit here and there and then and I got my first crash/ black screen with a stuck sound at the end of a Dirt 3 replay...
It seems to let the cards run hotter, too.
So I rolled back to the 275 drivers...

 

yeah the bf3 alpha i was doing crashed a few times as well.

 

i just go over old bf2 sp with 199 bot under 280.19.........very well
wondering how many bot can bf3 add

 

the 280.19 driver is working great in bf3 for me it even bumpt my fps
