*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

How bad is this?
How can I make it better?

 

yea stealth mode is on here's the forum to get the app to let you know if its on

get the version on this page as its the second version. should let you know when your laptop is in stealth mode which is a imo a waste of programming as you can't use it on battery.

 

Okay stealth was on and when I turned it off I got these results.



What else can I do?

 

oc the gpu with nst

this tool allows you to oc the gpu. i recommend making an oc profile which you can load up without having to manually change the cocks each time and use the userdflt profile to switch back to normal clocks this handy trick is found in the start up menu under Nvidia nvProfile i suggest having a shortcut on your desktop for quick access.

also those scores are normal as i have the same system except for the 8gb of mem and the 500 gb hd.

 

I installed the drivers but I dont get where to over clock it at.

 

Install Nvidia System Tools, and make sure you install the "Performance" aspect of it. Then in you control panel (desktop right click, go to Nvidia Control panel) there is now a "Performance" option on the left. Click that and you can change GPU clocks.

 

it has a an accept notice you will see as it states nvidia is not responsible for any hardware damage by using this software etc.

 

What is the danger of over clocking it too far?

 

possible fried card but i recommend not going past these clocks

i use these myself 650/1100/1625.

going further has resulted in artifacts which is an indication that those clocks are unstable as not enough power is supplied to the card.

this however can be overcome by flashing the vbios to have a 1v instead of the stock setting to allow higher oc ability but you really shouldn't need it.

 

Realistically, There is no danger. Just keep an eye on temps. Don't let it get over 90*C. Worst thing that will happen is the display driver will fail and it will freeze.

 

This is a test but over clocked and it went down on 3.0.

 

odd that shouldn't happen what clocks did you use

 

I pushed mine to 935 for the 3DMarkVantage, and realistically the better your processor, the higher you can push it!
I didn't know I could change the shader.. but I don't plan to do more OC'ing.

 

Shader helps a lot with the 3DMark06 score. BUt it can only be changed on Nvidia cards. ATI cards you don't even have the option.

 

I tried OC'ing the 260 650/1100/1625 and benched with Mark06, my score was WAY lower. I was in the 13's, and dropped to the 11's. I watched the test, my max FPS was up in the high 90's and even hit 100, but the average FPS was down. It seemed like the stealth was on, but there was I know it was not. Strange..... I think I will just leave it on the factory settings, lol.

 

Oh yea, Joker told me that.. slipped my mind.

 

These is the settings I used to overclock with.

 

You should be hitting 13k with those clocks. Are you sure you didn't have Stealth mode enabled or were you running anything in the background. Virus Scan etc.

Also what driver version are you running?

 

Could be throttling.. The GPU sometimes downclock itself to avoid reaching high temperature, or just for the hell of it in that case.. It happens to me pretty often, download gpu-z and look at your clocks speed.
Shucks though, your clocks werent even going crazy fast, I've seen people going waaay over that, but it all depends on your GPU and your MOBO, some can handle more, some less!

 

Well, this is the best vantage score I can get. I can only reach 899/1110 for this 5870, the driver will be reloaded even if I raise 1mhz for the core.

 

Nice score,

Scores have been updated.

 

Wow! Your on a roll!!

 

hes got the 620m so it shouldn't even happen!

but to be sure go to this thread and follow the instructions about the throttlestop.

here is the the thread

 

I have stealth mode disabled also. I installed the program which allows me to turn it on & off easy.

 

Hmmm, yeah well first download the nvidia control pannel and enable the performance tab to modify your clocks speed.
Also install a newer driver, it'll put the clocks speeds back to normal. Run few games and make sure the clocks hit the 550/950/1350 (stock clocks).
Make sure physic X is enabled, it can only help when gaming.

Here's mine as a reference for the driver, the clock speed and the computing!

 

soccer i just checked my gpuz and OpenCL isn't checked would anyone know why it isn't checked.

 

Hey you missed me out

http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...455438-official-m15x-benchmark-thread-38.html

 

PM replied, Physx box is still checked in the GPU-Z shots

 

Sorry DR650SE... will have to give you the trouble to change the score board again.....

Got my ATI 5870 yesterday ... here are the beches for it today...

On stock clocks...



OC ...



GPU VANTAGE SCORE 9887

You rock Babyhemi.....

 

dang you wiz, why you got to kill me score like that, hahahha
man awesome scores man congrats!!!!!! 5870 rocks hard

 

lol...

What are ur idle temp....

 

on stocks clocks around 50-54
but man 950 core thats awesome i can't get mine that high and be stable enough to make it through a whole run.

 

i will be installing the thermal pads in a a few days..... did you reapply the paste when u got the thermal pads in there or just left the tim as it is...

 

TSS 0 and 2 are 52-54 but TSS1 is idling at 58....

 

the redid the paste when i did the pads at the same time.

 

tss1 is the memory its always high than the rest

 

Do you think shall i open it up again and put in the thermal pads even with those temperatures....

 

your temps seem ave compare to everyone elses, maybe just leave it for right now and redo it if you see the temps going to high.

 

wow, thewhitewizard got some crazy scores in vantage....

 

he is killing us tangtang and only his first day with the card, i hate him,lol

 

and hey tangtang.... where did you get ur 12.7mm drive caddy for m15x... i need to get my hands on one of those...

 

here you go bro:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...drive-hdd-caddy-installation-56k-warning.html

the thread has links for them

 

Just a few words for DR650SE... Awesome freakin system you are getting dude.. I cant wait to see you guys' benchs!
@thewhitewizard; awesome scores! Tell 'em how the 720QM rocks!

 

@thewhitewizard Nice score! You unseated sleey0! Great bench!

@SoccerThierry, Thanks man, I have most of the stuff. SSDs, RAM, CPU so I didn't need much. Should be an awesome system all the way around.

Scores have been updated.

 

@thewhitewizard

What's your secret man? I have same CPU as you but my CPU scores are like 1/2 of your scores (CPU Test 1: 727, CPU Test 2: 6.68 and my overall CPU score 5197).

..edit: nevermind...I started researching and discovered that somehow 2 of my cores were not functioning so fixed that. got closer to your score.

 

Great score ethanh8791!!

 

come on some one de-throne my Vantage score ( if it hasn't been done yet)

Good job whizard

Glad to see the M15x I have would like a 5870 now

 

Which Vantage score?

 

I think he is referring to the GPU Vantage score below with the Sager 8760.

sorry ethan just saw ur post.... its just standard i7 720qm no tweaks. how was that u had 2 cores switched off and the scores the same for cpu for everyone... just a couple of hundreds give or take.. What are ur idle temps...
