Dell Precision M6700 Owners Thread

Maybe this can help, read posts by Bokeh: http://forum.notebookreview.com/del.../716562-precision-m6700-level-brightness.html

 

Here's a little taste of what's to come if I can get more benchmark data, if not I guess I'll publish the results I got + notebookcheck data.


NBC means results were taken from notebookcheck, the number in parenthesis relates to the driver version used, let me know if I got it wrong for those who so far submitted data. Thanks to Northern-Loop and Aaron for that by the way and to Bokeh for the v296 K5000m results. It would still be nice to get up to date results for the K4000m, especially since some scores seem to be lower for newer drivers compared to older versions. Not in Catia though.

 

"He who shines brightest..." Don't they run hotter as well?

To save you the tedium and expense of 3rd party color calibrations from what I gather. Just make sure you have the correct setting for the application/intended source. Otherwise, the mismatch will look pretty ugly.

 

Disable Application Color under the Premier Color setup screen.

Put it in the Default color space.

Make sure the screen has had 15 minutes minimum to warm up.

Make sure the room is relatively dark other than the screen - no direct sun or lights.

Calibrate.

If it still won't calibrate, it may be that the i1Display LT does not do well with wide gamut monitors. I remember reading that the i1Display 2 had issues with wide gamut calibration.

 

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it tonight !

 

Aaron, I gotta ask, what are the clock speeds on your K5000m?

 

I played with overclocking for a while but I'm currently running stock clocks.

 

So, 600MHz @ stock, right? If my google-fu didn't suddenly start sucking.

EDIT: Oh and if anyone is willing to run Luxmark on their K5000m at higher clocks, it would be nice to see if it scales linearly. I'm not sure if it's possible to push it at stock GTX680m clocks, but it would be nice to know. Right now, all 680m data I got is at much higher clocks than the K5000m. I also have only three data points in total so I can't really tell of the scores increase linearly with clock speeds or not. I don't see why it wouldn't increase linearly though.

Here's the data I got from NBR members so far.

Yeah, that's the stock speed.

Not sure what's up with it but when I overclock to 720 MHz (same as 680M), it often seems to decide it wants to throttle down at spend most of its time around 540 MHz. The temperature doesn't go much past 60 C which doesn't seem that hot to me. Haven't yet spent much time trying to figure it out, though.

 

Wow my poor K3000M! Let's see if I can OC it.
