Samsung Series 7 - 6750m Benchmarks

It'll show the intel graphics card no matter what. To make sure you're running on the ATI card, just go to configure switchable graphics in the the control center and set Skyrim to "High Performance"

I can run this on my 1080p monitor with a mix of medium to high settings. You should be able to achieve the same too.

 

Any chance you could test starwars the old republic if you are in possesion of that game.

Thanks in advance

 

Far Cry 2
• Average Framerate: 36.65
• Max. Framerate: 52.42 (Frame:1712, 47.42s)
• Min. Framerate: 24.68 (Frame:506, 12.80s)

Settings:
1440x900 (60Hz), D3D10, Fixed Time Step(No), Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(2x), VSync(Yes), Overall Quality(Custom), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Very High), Terrain(High), Geometry(High), Post FX(High), Texture(Very High), Shadow(High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High)

You need to use the gfx_maxfps 30 command in the in-game console when running DX10 to prevent the common stutter problem, but this limits the frame rate to 30. The same settings work well in DX9 with no stutter:

DX9:
• Average Framerate: 39.17
• Max. Framerate: 62.60 (Frame:105, 2.01s)
• Min. Framerate: 20.74 (Frame:424, 9.42s)

Note: I prefer to play with AA off. It feels a bit snappier.

 

Yeah an old republic benchmark from the native resolution would be great because I will be buying this gadget only according to its performance on that particular game.

 

Sorry I can't give you precise framerate but SWTOR runs completely fine on my Series 7. On high settings you can get about easily. On medium settings, 60+

 

I'm delighted to say that the new Radeon drivers have given me a significant performance boost on Far Cry 2. These settings were unplayable before. It's basically maxed except for no AA and maintains a reasonable frame rate.

Settings: Demo(Ranch Small), 1600x900 (60Hz), D3D10, Fixed Time Step(No), Disable Artificial Intelligence(No), Full Screen, Anti-Aliasing(None), VSync(No), Overall Quality(Custom), Vegetation(Very High), Shading(Ultra High), Terrain(Ultra High), Geometry(Ultra High), Post FX(High), Texture(Ultra High), Shadow(Ultra High), Ambient(High), Hdr(Yes), Bloom(Yes), Fire(Very High), Physics(Very High), RealTrees(Very High)

Total Frames: 1725, Total Time: 51.01s
Average Framerate: 33.82
Max. Framerate: 46.91 (Frame:0, 0.02s)
Min. Framerate: 24.80 (Frame:1323, 40.16s)

 

Sarcasm?! LOL

 

Unofficial overclocking with MSI afterburner works well !
Overclocking test : amd 6750m @ 750/800
but the voltage regulation is still blocked, can't modify it to be under 1.00V on load. A solution ?
3Dmark 2011 score w/o overclock : 1370
with overclock : 1660

the problem is that the 6750m is always activated to be able to oveclock, so the battery life of the laptop decreasing.

 

Afterburner still not give us unlock everything from this one. Guess you have to find another program to OC. Just play D3 Beta with 8.940 driver. With 1600x900 and all high settings with AA, the FPS is about 35-38. It is still playable but from time to time, FPS would drop and you won't experience best gameplay. Then I lowed everything down to Low and Med, but still keep the same resolution, FPS now is about 45-50 which is pretty good. If anyone want to achieve more than 50, either go with lower resolution or low down the settings. Another thing that I need to mention is that the temp is about 75-80, which is great for a laptop. However, you guys need to be sure that the game is set with High Performance, otherwise, it won't kick in the graphic card.

 

I did this method on my samsung chronos and it works.

you also need to disable ulps in the registry.

 

I'm getting very poor performance for Crysis (less than 15 - 25 FPS on medium settings, 1440 x 900, no AA). This is MUCH lower than the benchmarks for the 6750M listed here:

AMD Radeon HD 6750M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

 

Is it normal that I am getting up to 95 degrees Celsius on some of my cores while gaming (bf3, just cause 2, crysis 2) and also my gpu goes around 85 deg c. I am not holding it on my lap, leaving it steady on a clear table. My usual idle temps are all around 50 degrees c, so i am a bit concerned about why the big difference :S

 

That is what I get aswell, I think its just notebookcheck thats probably got a mix up on their website, which happens quite often

 

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know poor performance on Crysis is not limited to my particular unit.

However, the benchmarks stated by notebookcheck are corroborated by Macbook Pro users with the same configuration (6750M, ram, processor) running Crysis through bootcamp (40-60 FPS on medium settings at 1440 x 900):

Here is another 6750M Crysis benchmark (42 FPS on high settings):

AMD Radeon HD 6750M VS 6770M | Compare Processors

Sorry, but all the evidence indicates that our system is severely under-performing with this particular game.

 

Oh I am so sorry! I assumed you were talking about crysis 2!!
my bad, well I haven't tried it with Crysis 1 yet, but since crysis 2 was supposed to be more easier to run than crysis 1 I am quite worried now :S...

Its 4 am here atm, ill try it out when I wake up and report back on what I am getting with crysis 1 asap. (But just to make sure you are doing everything right, make sure you plug in your power supply and select high performance mode in the battery settings, the gpu limits itself while on battery saving mode, so you need to set the power plan to high performance to get all the juice out )

 

95 C is when the CPU starts to throttle. HWiNFO's CPU speed display will show this and normally it should only happen at the top end of the TurboBoost speed range.

The causes of poor cooling under load are likely to be (a) fluff blocking up the cooling system (which means that the airflow is reduced) and (ii) poor application of the thermal compound between the CPU and the heatsink (which reduces the efficiency of heat transfer). If the cooling system is shared with the GPU then the situation becomes more complicated.

Yes, you should be getting MUCH better performance with Crysis 2 as well (35+ FPS on High settings):

AMD Radeon HD 6750M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

Crysis 2 Performance? - Windows 7 Forums

And yes, I always game plugged-in and set to High Performance.

Looking forward to seeing your results for Crysis 1.

 

Okay I made a mistake with Crysis 2, with "high" i meant the "ultra" setting, soz :S
Okay Crysis 2 on "Ultra" I get anything between 15-20 FPS at 1600x900, at "high" i get an average of like 35, but it dips down to 25 and peaks at 45 sometimes.

I did some benchmarks for Crysis 1 aswell, With everything on "high" with resolution at 1600x900, I get an average of about 23-25 FPS for the GPU benchmark, Ingame however I frequently get 25 - 27 Fps. Though i have to point out that the 64 bit version didnt work for me some reason, so I had to use 32bit version. I was also on DX10, so assuming the use of 64bit instead of 32 bit would give you a FPS boost of about 1-3 FPS (I have 8gb memory here so i think it would make a difference) I think I am getting the expected results.

Edit: Also to i did a Just cause 2 benchmark aswell with the exact same settings as the macbook, and I was getting a solid 50 FPS, 8 more than the mac, I suppose there are some ups and downs between them.

 

Well, that's more like it! - everything seems to be working well on yours. Must be something specific to my machine then. Are you using the 8.940 AMD driver from Samsung? Any ideas what I might need to adjust?

When you run GPU-Z, can you see load on the Radeon when running Crysis? I can't see load on it with anything except Google Earth in OpenGL mode.

Thanks for taking the time to test and post your results.

 

Yeah I am running the 8.940 AMD driver, I am not too sure maybe make sure that you have high performance selected for all the games in "configure switch-able graphics", by chance you could be unassigned for some of the games. I have the "show a pop up warning for unassigned applications" option selected. It is a bit of a hassle whenever you open a new program but this way you can make sure high performance is selected when needed.

Just tried out Gpu-z I am getting load readings when using Crysis, in my opinion If nothing else works you should try getting it returned, you may have been unlucky and received a faulty one :S

 

Thanks for confirming that GPU-Z works correctly for you as well. This topic is also being discussed on this thread:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sam...ush-samsung-implement-fixed-mode-bios-96.html

My next step is to try installing Leshkat's drivers, and then revert back to the Samsung 8.940 to see if that fixes it, as per the suggestion there. Based on performance, the Radeon definitely is being used by other applications (e.g. Far Cry 2 runs at over 35 FPS on Ultra setting at native res, etc.). This indicates it is not a hardware issue.

It does seem to be a driver issue, as the Radeon is being detected by GPU-Z. It's just not showing load or being used by Crysis. I always ensure all games are set to High Performance in CCC following installation, and I have the pop-up warning too.

Thanks again for your help in troubleshooting this. Rep +1

 

Problem solved by doing a full uninstall and re-install of the AMD driver. Now getting decent frame-rates at high and ultra settings, and showing load on GPU-Z!

 

Ah thats good to hear! Happy gaming

 

Are you using the Steam version of Crysis? If so, you'll find the 64bit fix here:

How to run crysis on 64bit mode on Steam step by step - Steam Users' Forums

It worked fine for me.

 

Strangely, following reboot, Crysis framerates on high settings at 1600 x 900 dropped from around 25-27 (following initial driver installation) to 14-16. Shortly afterwards, following some configuration changes, it now crashes upon launch. Will try a full uninstall/reinstall of the game. Failing that, will try an AMD driver uninstall/reinstall again.

Serious hassle getting this title to run properly on Win 7:

Update: fixed it somehow by reinstalling and deleting the My Documents\My Games\Crisis\ folder.
