SZ: 3D Mark 05 Scores

I had outlook, msn messenger, bitdefender and a few other apps open. So i think i may be able to do better.

Im using the laptop video 2 go 84.43 drivers

Also this is with the stock gpu clocks

 

Why wouldn't you run all these tests and benchmarks with as much as possible turned off?

 

im lazy


and i wanted to see if the apps running in the background had a big effect on scores, as well as "real world" situations.

 

ok i got some wierd results. after i turned off most of the apps in the background. I scored a 1908....weird.

 

my scores have ranged from mid 1800's up to 2000.

 

what drivers and what clock settings.

 

mid 1800'swith the drivers yo are using. I don't remember what driver versions I had with my higher scores,. but it was OC'd.

 

Sorry to ask such a stupid question but what's considered a good score? BTW, Love your bleach wallpaper.

 

Thanks Fidy,


Good score is around 1900 and higher for our system at stock clocks. With a slight oc, you should get ovewr 2000.

PS... I love bleach!

 

I average around 1870 to high 1900 (never got 2000+), the latter being with overclocking. I assume several people can score higher though, since I only have a 1.66ghz CPU.

 

Hi, just curious as to what speeds you guys are overclocking to........I am currently using version 84.56, with core and memory at 488, and 781 respectively. So far so good.

 

What resolutions did You used to get these scores? (without overclocking)
I got 1790 - 1800 in 1024x768 and 2130 in 800x600.
Is this OK ?
Drivers were 8.4.4.3 and 8.3.0.2 - same result.

 

1939 3dmark05 default sony drivers default (native?) resolution..not overclocked

I just overclocked (527Mhz Core/ 769Mhz Memory) it and put the latest drivers, will post the results in 30 minutes or so.

I should get 2000+ now easily.

 

I only take 3dmark with default resolutions

 

To all who are now overclocking their $2000+ Notebooks...

I would suggest you only do this if you are comfortable with the possibility of frying your GPU. Overclocking a notebook is generally a bad idea as airflow isn't exactly at a premium inside the case. If you do OC your SZ, only do so while gaming and NOT all of the time. Also, once you find a stable clock, back both your core and memory down a bit just to be safe.

aer0sense,

could You PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE give me some hints what should I check/set/install to get the same score?
I got 1790 in 1024x768 and 1608 in 1280x800.
Driver version is 8.3.0.2 (sony default)
I tried also the driver from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com, version 8.4.4.2 and got the same results.

I have Sony VAIO SZ1XP (analog 160P/C).
T2400 1.83, NVidia 7400 128 MB.

Should I run 3dMark05 on clear windows without any antivirus/daemon/etc. running in background?

 

No overclocking, just plain vanilla performance... or not

Check it out:

STAMINA: 576

SPEED (before new "7200" drivers from Sony Update): 1901

SPEED (after new "7200" drivers from Sony Update): 1866

WTF ?

Maybe I have to re-test

 

I have replied to your email, my marks in 3DMark05 are 2085.
Drivers: 84.56 from LaptopVideo2go.com
Overclocked ofcourse.

 

hmm i got 1655 with sony drivers. i cant use other drivers cuz they make my screen's backlight turn off. makes no sense. i even reformated it and still the same.

i have 2ghz, 2gigs ram, vista

 

Sorry for my question but what driver do you use for wirless? I don't have this wirless bar, i've only the vista bar. Is this proset? What must i do to get this?

 

how many running processes do you guys have and how much ram is being used and how much is free?

 

Can anybody run 3DMark06 without an error? I'll get an DirectX Error message bevor the canyon flight is running. The 3DMark05 Score is running without problems!
