*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Benchmark Thread Part 2

Matty if you're truly gunning for the leaderboard a fan and window won't do the job lol. Unless it's -20 degrees outside you'll need an a/c source. I had to cool my gpu down to the 18-20 degree range before a run before I could start it or the run would bounce and that was with an i5 not a small heater(your 920xm). And as DR650SE mentioned(glad you saw it DR650 ) you need to run it at the resolution he said, and also need a cpuz and gpuz window running to prove clocks and hardware in your screenshot to qualify.

 

What could I do without an AC unit?

 

If you have a/c in your house you can use that just keep in mind household a/c units push a lot more humidity/moisture which can damage computers, it's not likely that it will but it can. If you have no source of a/c just don't do it as you can fry your card, cpu, and pretty much whole computer in the matter of minutes doing benchmarks on extreme overclocks.

 

So 3Dmark 2011 comes out on November 30th, we also have the GTX 460m coming in systems. Start submitting your benches to see if we can change these top spots up a bit I will add sections for the new 3DMark and the new gpu later tonight so start shooting your benchmarks off!

 

can't wait for the new 3dmark, finally something new, hehheheh
i have special version of t-stop that uncle webb hasn't released yet, but have been to busy with the holiday stuff to do any benches.

hahahhaha dane i just noticed your location SL,UT, heheheh

 

Yup Salt Lake, Utah lol. I too have a "special" tstop version that's working wonders on my little m11x's cpu. Eager to see if you can finally take that top 5850 spot inap!

 

naw i doubt it, i think i reached the cards limits. time to try out something new, hehehehe. better make a 470m category for me.

 

As soon as you have it installed and working I will, maybe I'll just make a GTX 4XXm category if we see more pop up.

 

yeah i think i will have enough to buy it next week, so crossing my fingers hoping thats its just plug and play. but i'm hella rusty on the nvidia stuff now.

 

You and me both, Nvidia's OC so differently, especially with the adjustable shader clocks.

 

OK, guys, fess up. What's this new TS business? What changes. and where do I get it?

NM, got it.

 

Haha sorry rev. was busy or I would of hooked you up.

ThrottleStop has had a significant work over under the skin but I haven't seen any bench results yet to know if it is good or bad. On the M17x R2, after you use ThrottleStop to setup the TDP/TDC and multiplier stuff, you can probably exit ThrottleStop after that when benching. The information is written directly to the CPU. Some laptops like the M11x R2 keep resetting the TDP/TDC information so you are forced to have ThrottleStop running while benching.

The TS 2.90 series is more efficient and should be able to handle throttling in the XPS 1645 and M15x better after TS has been tweaked but I need to wait for some bench feedback from users before I can make any adjustments.

 

Updated the scores found on page 1 with a section for the GTX 460m, as soon as 3DMark 11 comes out I will add appropriate sections and a download link for it! Come on guys there's lots of new blood out there especially with a 460m, get benching!

 

come on 460m owners!!! get to benching!!!!! DO IT!!!!

 

thanks for the heads up on 3dmark 11, man this would of been nice if the 470m was working.

 

Posted the link for the free version of 3DMark 11, will add a section this week for it! Get to benching guys, we now have a new GPU and Benchmark available to claim the top spot in.

 

calling all 460m owners, time to throw down guys.!!!!
look like i gotta buy me 3dmark11 looks awesome, bsod's here i come, hehehe

 

2 to 3 weeks and I'll give it a go, what do you reckon I should expect from 3dmark? I have no idea I've never used it before!

 

2-3 weeks... come on... you can't possibly do this to inap ^^

 

Yeah man he's already suffering from the 470m shambles, although he's got balls though.

 

wow with your setup you can expect very high scores, but all below mine of course, heheheh

geez 2-3 more week, more 460m owners need to step up to the plate.

ok i think its time to slap the 5850 back in and do a 3dmark11 run.

 

Well, here's a start. 820QM/5850M @ 900/1100. Lots of tessellation, physics.

Result

​

 

I'm guessing 3k is the new 10k

 

First '11 bench result I see... lol, hard to judge ^^

 

Is P 1960 a good score for my specs ???????????

 

^^^^ don't know yet, we need more benches, dang slow interent gonna take forever to download.

 

haha on other 3d marks it wasnt this low ?

 

Probably about right for stock clocks (625/1000).

 

You guys are evil!!! Making me want to snag another M15x again lol. This is awesome to see the bench blood running again though, I'll update the boards later tonight or tomorrow.

 

Debating whether to get one from Dell that will cost upwards $300 or one from Eurocom that costs $260. Hmm...anyone know the part number?

 

Your old M15x would be a killer. 3dMark11 appears very video card-centric, with the CPU having relatively little influence. Like Vantage, except more so.

 

hmm if i bought dane lappy would his scores be under my name then, hehehehe

 

We are just waiting for you to blow out 3dMark11 on your first run, Inap. Then we can slink back to our caves.

 

waiting for download then reinstalling the 5850, really slow internet at work.

 

It was really slow when I downloaded it. Those servers are overwhelmed. Most of the time, unable to use the review score online facility because of "unable to connect" or "server busy" errors.

 

No, and um no seriously this crap is not cool, I appreciate the confidence Rev but not cool lol. My kids need a Christmas, must resist.....

 

hahah dane, yeah i feel ya, the 470m and x-mas gift has killed my bank roll. hahaha prolly returning the card tomorrow for some extra dough.
dang still downloading.. arrgghhgh

 

You still on dial up inap? I could almost download it and snail mail it to you on a disk at this rate lol. Look at it this way though: no matter how long it takes you to download you won't have Jstar or me challenging that top score

 

aww crap lost my flashing usb stick, dang it now gotta make another one.

 

LOL, those are a pain to make, I still have mine even though I don't have an m15x lol.

 

ok here is mine:

Result

 

is this with the 470 ??

 

Wow that benchmark is just kinda chewing up and spitting out the m15x isn't it? That's nutz!

 

Yeah I doubt that I can even 3k. Geez I can push a little more but 3k looks out for reach.

 

I was definitely expecting to see higher ratings from the m15x

 

Maybe I spoke to soon, we should wait for more results. After all it was just a first run.

 

IF your 470 cant produce awesome numbers what does that say for the rest of us .lol

 

I don't think that's on his 470m as the last thing I saw was that he couldn't get 3d clocks running and 2d ain't gonna churn out those numbers.

 

aahhhh i just assumed i havent seen his tread lately
