*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

800/1100 seems as high as I can push the 5850. I'm was able to get multiple successful vantage runs with this overclock, scores were about the same as posted earlier. It will still crash 3DMark06.

800/1125 ran, albeit with artefacts... and the scores were no different than the 800/1100 run. With restarts between each run, two of the five runs were actually lower. And as with 800/1100 3DMark06 would crash instantly.

 

good work nehm, 800/1100 are pretty awesome clocks. yeah i have same problem with 3dm06, can't run as high as vantage clocks.

 

How high did you push yours again Inap?

 

stable around 935-940 and memory around 1150. i think i can push the memory more but i don't see any gains in doing so.

 

Mine managed 935, crashed at 940 for my 820qm. As for memory, I did 1100 max. Didn't want ten test nynhigher especially since I was pretty new to ocing few months back.
I woulda though with a 920xm, you could get closer to 950 clocks.

You all just wait till I get my 940xm

We need more people oc'ing in the thread, especiallyn with 820qm's!

 

the clocks are just for gpu and is the same for everyone, but cpu makes the scores higher.

 

Well its not the same, thats how my scores are so high

 

haha ok you win, lol

 

Hey guys, I'll be able to do some updates tommorrow. Keep up the excellent work!

 

There are a few scores on the last 2-3 pages of this thread. So far seen it pushed to 800/1100, so actually that's pretty good.

 

yes its fair to say AW didn't fail on an upgrade from the 260m.

 

I hit boxing stage today....this should be fun to benchmark.

 

can't wait to see your scroes mandrake. so your gonna pop in a 920 and a 5870?

 

I ordered it with the 920 and I already have a 5870 waiting.

 

oh mandrake I'm drooling

 

You guys are going to have to kick it up a couple of notches, look who is coming with a M15x...

 

hi guys im new here! just wanted to ask those experts out there if my benchmark for my m15x is good enough cuz honestly i know nothing about this benchmarking scores at all! thanks!

i5-540m
5850 ddr5
6gb ram

 

nice score congratz on the new system your gonna enjoy it.

 

@tuenkamen

so this is a good score bro? niceeeeeeeeeee! thanks!

 

looks good to me. congrats nice setup

 

do you have the 1080p screen cause its not then comparable to others who run at the stock settings as the res you need cannot be fulfilled by the 900p screen.

 

its pretty much on par bro, check page 59 of this thread and you will see the stock gpu score is about the same.

 

@tuenkamen yes bro i do have the 1080p screen

@inappropriatename i've seen it bro! glad to know that! thanks!

 

Off topic much, but Babyhemi, the X7200 looks freakin O_O
More on topic, been lazy for the benchs lately, I can see my score has been beated several times, should get back to it! I will as soon as I get done with school, aka in about two weeks
Hopefully I'll offer myself a 5870m this summer

 

Well Theirry your gonna beat me to the 5870 im guessing lol will be fun to see if you can get near 13.4k or above hitokiri with the 260m cause im stuck now as im hitting the roof of performance without flashing my gpu

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure I wont go much further. My all time bets is still 12800
I should probably buy a cooler it cant be a bad thing
Oh well, we'll see! :O

 

What kind of a score are you getting (A screen shot would be AWSOME)... i have a similar system but I am getting very low scores and I need something to compare it to when I talk to tech support.

 

i got the 13.4k score with the 257.15 drivers and ocing my gpu to 685/1150/1700 that's really the roof without a gpu bios flash.

im going to revert back to the 197.31 drivers as im having texture slow downs on any game so these drivers are not perfect(257.15).

 

Here's my first attempt with 3DMark06, no CPU OC.

 

wow!!!! nice mandrake great score +rep

 

just wanna ask> what is standard resolution for bencmark? coz i saw a lot of different resoluition in here.

 

1280x1024....Anything lower means the monitor cannot support that res. Anything higher means someone just wanted to test at the higher res.

 

well. my 3dmark vantage oc 650/1100/1600



still new in ocing thou

 

nice score bro!
whats your nvidia version driver?

 

version 197.16

 

nice score but i think you have phsyX turned on, for the score to be valid it needs to be turned off.

 

ok will post later phsyX off

 

Great score Mandrake!
How would you compare the M15x to your G73?Besides one being bigger than the other.
I know performance is going to vary because of the different Gpu I'm mostly talking build quality and screen quality.
Lastly if you had to pick between the two, which one would you pick?

 

Hey guys, I'm headed home on leave and won't have much time to update the scores. I will be doing so when I return back to Baghdad in about a month. Should be updating in mid July.

Thanks
Dan.

 

Put it this way, I sold the G73 and kept the M15x.

I prefer the upgrade-ability (easy access and follows the MXM standard) and build quality of the M15x. They both have nice screens just the M15x has a huge LCD bezel which makes it look a little funny. The other thing I prefer about the G73 is that it's capable of two hard drives and the M15x isn't but the weight is still about the same. Also the CPU OC capbilites is much better in the G73. The upgrade-ability and build quality trumps any pluses of the G73.

 

Here is my latest bench with the 260m (i know everyone has got a 5870 )
drivers 257.21 WHQL

 

That's great to hear.
One more thing can you OC the CPU from the BIOS or do you need the ELEET software tool to do it?
How high can you get the 920XM in this laptop and is the power brick beefy enough to handle it?

 

you need eleet for oc'ing the 920, but only the multi can be change everything else is lock out because of the bios.

 

How high can you OC 920XM in this badboy using Eleet?

 

you can only up the multiplier, stock is 24x. so far the most i got is 26x but thats with extreme cooling. but i've seen it go higher. i think the 920 does better in a M15x then a M17x for some reason. i'm pretty new to bench and oc'ing myself, just waiting on mandrake to school us right now,hahahhaha

 

What Ghz increase did you get and is it on all 4 cores?
Thanks

 

hahahh thats a mandrake question, honestly i don't have a clue.

 

Really!
Well I'm honored to be even mentioned with his name...lol
I've seen your excellent guide for the GPU upgrade so overall easy or hard to do?

 

getting in and out is easy, the hard part is getting the pads and compound right. but overall i would say it easy.

 

finally broke 11k vantage, yeah!!!! also beat my best gpu score by +2 hahahah. tomorrow i'll try my luck at 06
