*OFFICIAL* M15x Benchmark Thread

Hi I just wanted to confirm that the heatsink from the GT240 could be used on the 5870 and also do I need to purchase additional thermalpads? Thanks!

 

According to the pics I found on the forums, the HS is indeed compatible.

 

As Wattos said many are using there existing heatsinks of the M15x systems.

 

So on my new system without any OC'ing.

Vantage
5033 GPU Score
25814 CPU Score (Physx on)

3dMark06
11775 3dMarks

 

To get a better Idea on the CPU bench with Physx off. Also, Im tracking the top scores here, but the screen shots must meet the requirements to be considered. With some tweaking you could make the top vantage scores and the 260 board.

 

Ya what i'll do is run the bench's tonight again and post the screenshots.

 

well here is my new 3dmark06 score gpu oced to 650/1100/1625 drivers 197.45

3DMark06 oc

score 12958

 

Nice score! I'll be updating in the morning.

 

thanks will try to break 13k soon when i try getting a higher oc

 

Uncool tuenkamen! MY high score
hehe, keep working, you can surely break 13k! Have you updated your driver?

 

i was using the 197.45 drivers which were posted by Jstar they are good and seem to hold good ocing

also you might want to try these drivers could allow you to oc more than with the 197.17 drivers imo

 

Hey I think people with i7-620 and 5870 will result in a better gpu score in
3dmark vantange than people with the i7-820qm or 920xm. Me and Inap, here got ~7400 on gpu score in 3dmark vantage at stock clock and he got the 920xm and I got the 820qm. When i overclocked mine to 900/1100 i got 8974 but sleey0 got 9874. I don't know is this relate too power comsumption different between the cpu or not but I think people with i7-720 or 620 will result in a better gpu score in 3dmark vantage.

 

Test your theory! Johnksss has been preaching this for a while and least with 3DMark06. Set the affinity for Vantage to only use two of the four cores and run the test. See how it affects it.

 

Ok, attached are pics of my newest bench's using 197.16 Drivers. and specs listed in my sig. PhysX disabled. Everything Stock, Ignore Hardware monitor in the 3dMark 06 Screenshot (i had just turned it on)

3dMark 06 - 11780 3dMarks



3dMark Vantage - 5048 GPU / 12445 CPU

 

my latest scores
the point is, I still haven't change the voltage of my graphic card, so ,there is still potential.

 

damn that just makes me drool with envy lol even more of a reason to want the 5870 10k vantage pretty sweet

 

Does anyone have some Heaven 2.0 benchmarks I could see?

 

Here is my latest score. I almost broke Mandrakes score

Score

 

Scores will be updated this evening when I get off work.

Wattos How many process' and services do you have running? Can you stop more services? Try and free up some CPU for the benching? You almost there! Within reaching distance.

 

everything was off. I even killed the explorer process. Im thinking on whether to install xp on a flash drive or something

 

Thought I would post my scores. They haven't been fully overclocked to my knowledge, but I'll get onto that once this bad boy (the computer not me lol) takes a night cap.

More to come soon!

Plan is to put it RIGHT next to the portable aircon to get some cooling in. Although I tip my hat to Watto, I'd like to see how high this baby can hit!

 

wow awesome score wattos, doing anything special to get it that high? hope you break the score bro.

 

Im cooling it with an external fan to keep the temps down

 

Great scores! I noticed only one entry in the 3DMark06: Top 5. Any more coming?

 

Scores have been updated. Check the Score Board

@jubbing To be included in the scoreboard please submit a 3DMark06 screenshot with GPU-Z and CPU-Z in the screenshot to validate gpu/cpu clocks. Check the bench links in my sig for reference. Nice scores!

 

@ DR650SE yep, I realise that. I just thought I'd do a vantage test first to see if it was worth doing an 06 test .

I'll deffinately do that tonight

 

um do i have to re run my 3dmark because i didnt show the clocks lol?

score was 12958

just lemme know if i have to re run

 

haven't done this in awhile but here are my scores: 5870 oc'ed 890/1135 ran same clock for both vantage and 06.
vantage: gpu: 9445 cpu: 15849
06: 3dmarks: 16165

 

I'm just exploring my 260M at 700/1100/1750 with a voltage increase..

Nothing compared to your 5870s but still worth posting..

Max temps were 87c, with Performance voltage at 1.03V

Vantage: P7707
GPU: 6196
CPU: 28702

 

I think you still have PhysX enabled. your CPU score is too high .

 

Here we go, a 3D Mark06 test as requested.
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m25/jubbing/3dtest1.jpg

 

You all are getting some great scores!! Very comparable to 17' single GPU systems!

 

I can't seem to push the computer core past 910. I do 920 and the tests fail This is with a 820 system...

 

What drivers are giving you all the best scores so far? Is it the 10.3 ones?

 

yeah i'm using 10.3 tried 10.4 but got lower score and fps in games.

 

Please disable physix to qualify for the score board

 

Hey does my scores from the last page count for the board.

 

Yea, it counts. I just havn't had a chance to update. Will be able to do so tonight though.

 

This is as high as I'm getting right now, I've hit 10,000 before.. but my laptop's not letting me so far.
So here' s a official test 1

There's no way I'll be able to beat those 920 scores... but maybe I can push mine to be the best 820 out there!

 

ok here is my latest:

clocks: 915/1145

06: 16563
vantage: cpu:16658 gpu: 9530

hopefully i can do better since i haven't done any cpu oc yet.

 

I believe you got the highest 3DMark06 for a M15x!! Congrats!!

 

i think wattos does he got 17060

still great numbers inap keep it up

 

i just broke the 17k mark for the cpu but score lower on my gpu only 9.2k
so strange. upped the cpu multipler to 25 and oc gpu to 921/1150. maybe i'll try those clocks again but with increase the cpu muti.

 

I can run the CPU mult at 26 stable without additional cooling. I got it to work 27 stable with a big fan blowing onto the pc. On Wednesday I will try using an airconditioner to keep my m15x cool to break Mandrakes score

 

but why do i score higher with gpu with lower clocks. but when i upped the multiplier on the cpu i get lower gpu score with higher clocks?
btw does that cpu score counts because i got lower gpu scores.

 

I'm guessing scores haven't been updated?

 

man same thing either real high cpu or gpu. my latest run gave me my best cpu score but gpu score fell. 17.5k for cpu but gpu back down to 9.2k

 

are you running throttlestop? Maybe the cpu is throttling and thus being a bottlenech in the gpu benchmark???

 

Yea, sorry for the delay, got stuck at work last night trying to catch up. I have access to NBR, but photobucket is blocked from work so I can't accurately update the scores. Imageshack.us however isn't blocked. Scores will be updated tonight though.

 

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware! I'll re-run the benchmark when I get a chance..
