Nice one tester

Thats dam impressive.

 

@ catacylsm

thX

But note also the GPU-MHz and the RAM-MHz.
I think this will also create many other users.

The Vcore at the GPU, I have not changed.

 

nice run!
i just checked on orb and i don't see it there??

 

Sorry I have no time @ the moment.

How I do it????

 

no time?
it''s hit the submit button and it's done.

 

570 Core on GPU?
1087 On memory? flippin eck, My advent blue screened going max on the catalyst control lol

Give us some temparatures.

 

very nice see i told u there is no secret just some hard work that s all good job. how did u over clock gpu ? and how to did u change the gc bios to max?

 

Catalyst 9.3 is out! Happy benchmarking!

 

Hi @ all!

Coming soon, while I'm looking for a app. which logged this.
GPU-Z doesn't work. (no temps. logging)
Do you have an idea?
edit:

RivaTuner also doesn't work (no temps.)

edit:

AtiTool also!

It may be that it comes through the 9.2er Catalyst-Driver?

I have only this picture, but this is nonsense, because the test is very short.




@ faisalhero

Sorry, support only in german:

Look @ this here. (with own pictures!!!)

This is not really difficult.
Yet it is easy if you save the orig. BIOS with GPU-Z on a USB stick and then insert it later in the editor.



But this way (with GPU-Z), I have not chosen.

There is also the way the BIOS directly from Windows to flash, this I have also not chosen and I would not recommend!!!

Please note:

This makes your everything at your own risk!!!

 

Thats awesome however since its out of CCC centre bounds im guessing it would void warrenty, i wouldn't try it Juuuuuuuuust yet lol xD.

Maybe when the warrenty is over prehaps unless a game i really want to play comes out and it wont run smooth xD

 

haha, awesome

I used RBE to flash my slave vGA card into a Master VGA card. I also got ATi Overdrive to work with it too since the original BIOS didn't have Overdrive for 3870 cards. RBE works with Winflash, where you can flash it from windows. It works with no issues. I have a guide on how to use it, but for dual GPU notebooks. It's still applicable to Single GPU ATi equipped notebooks too.

 

Hi there !

I have a MSI GT725 - 200FR (french version with a mobility radeon hd4850 vga), where can I get updated vga's drivers ? Those on MSI websites are 8.56-081112a-072695C-MSI, I heard that 9.3 are out...

Sorry for this noob question..

 

O.K., I have tried, the temperatures to read out, during 3DMark06 is running.

I made it so.

Sample Image!!!



Between the tests appears short the desktop.
Between the second and thrid tests, short I saw a temperature of ~ 50 C.






results @ orb... mmmh sorry thats not possible. *to cough*

@ ichime

ThX for you comment. It may be that it works.

@ jbfuzier

here the 9.2 for Mobile Cards and other

The 9.3 for Mobile Cards, sorry I have no idea where!??
Maybe the 9.3 works with the manual to insert the *. inf file?

 

Thanks very much for your help "Tester..."

 

I GOT A link on the first page of this thred that ll read the temp of ur gpu try it
thanks for the info i m not sure i ll try it if its goin to avoide the warrenty

 

Well i definately dont want to blow the warrenty yet hehe, cant afford for that to happen.

Faisal did you ever get a minimum resolution not supported for vantage test?

I cant run it without the error poppin up for the feature tests.

 

i think only when my ati driver was nt install properly it might give u that error but i dont run feature test no use does nt give u any extra score

 

I know but for some reason it wont calculate 3dmark vantage score in general, which is very odd dont you think?

 

question?
how come your firefly forest test is so high at 43 fps and your other test is 34?? usually them test are like 1 and 4 fps apart max...

 

<snip> hmmm... must've instructed Vista incorrectly before... I wonder why the newer versions of hwmonitor are braindead...

I still haven't tried the ATI traytools suggested from Guru of 3D site or whatever it was called. (Also still using the MSi shipped ATI drivers under Vista, and still 9.2 under linux + X11 (keep forgetting to dig through /proc and see if it's showing up there...).)

 

I'm the First one who RMA-ed it?

 

Sorry, I do not know.
Both tests are for the Shadermodel 2.0., but the first test stands for an big Indoor-Scenes with many individual characters in the room and the sec. for a smaller outer level with lush vegetation.

Here the temps. during 3DMark06 is running @ 570/1115



Yellow = GC-Temps. (at the arrow is the temp., which even with ATI Overdrive is to be seen)
Red = CPU-Temps. (I believe thats too much high)

 

What I would like to know is how you got the temp of your GPU to show in Everest??? As for myself, I can see clearly the Cpu temps but I never saw my GPU temps otherwise than in ati overdrive.....

 

Red = first step
Yellow = second step

 

Hello,

I am a bit of a noob when looking at updating the driver etc. I have downloaded and installed the catalyst 9.3 software, or at least i thought i had. But when i go to the Catalyst control centre info it still reads version:2008:1112.2132.38643. How do i upgrade it to the latest version ? or do i have to un in stall this first then download and install 9.3 ? Help very much appreciated.

Thanks

John

 

you need to uninstall old driver first.
reboot and let it install standard vga driver
then you upgrade the standard vga driver with your new driver.

 

hi i wanted to know are the segar laptops featuring the nvidia 260 chips better than msi gt725 ... never really heard about segar pls tell

 

No one can really answer that since there are no benchmarks for the 260 yet.

 

I recommend running ATITool's artifact stability test on those clocks, Tester.

I couldn't get my desktop 4850 to reach those memory clocks without artifacting.

 

MSI has now also released a carbon version of the GT725. It is 500 grams lighter (2.7kg instead of 3.2kg) than the regular version but it also costs a 100 euros more.

The quad core version that is listed on German retail sites is 300 euros(!!!) more expensive than the regular P9500 version.

Here are some pics of the, in my opinion, better looking quad core version:





I really wanted the quad core version because of the improved looks but i don't want to pay 300 euros (1529 euro as opposed to 1229 euro) more for that. I hope they adjust the price somewhat in the near future.

EDIT: Removed misinformation.

 

Will that be coming to the US?

 

I think so.

 

If I don't buy Asus's K50AB when it comes out, I'm going to buy the carbon version of this.

 

Just got mine in the mail, updating and installed lotsa fun stuff Sure enough it is the 32 bit Vista though ugh...

 

Did you see this post earlier in this thread:

I'd say you're lucky for not getting the 64 bit Vista

 

I already sent out an email to Amazon, should I still pursue the 64 bit copy or just use the 32 bit?

 

Depends if you really need the extra 1 GB of memory.

BTW, I just saw this thread:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=364394

He even got a better deal.

 

Well regardless I have to keep the laptop as is, I don't have the time to send it back, need it for a business trip.

Question though: If I want to upgrade to 64 bit later, can I just overwrite C: and leave all the data on D: or will I have to completely start over with a 64 bit Vista upgrade?

 

Has to be a reinstallation. Just pick up the 64-bit version online and install with your existing key.

 

Thats disheartening lol, been installing stuff for hours today...

 

ok catalyst 9.3 is out. anyone have any luck getting these to install?
I have been unable to. Mobility modder doesn't work. they changed the inf files for the new unified approach so After much editing and copying pasting I still have 9.2 display driver installed. Anyone with Inf editing skills have any better luck? if so please be my friend and toss up a working Inf file.

 

Where do i go to uninstall the old driver ? do i do this on the install screen on the 9.3 catalyst ?
So when i reboot it will it automatically install the standard vga driver ?
And then i upgrade that is with 9.3 ?

Thanks for the help

 

u can do it via control panel add and remove u can also right click on the my computer go to property go to device manager click on display adopter uninstall that will uninstall it aswell.
also you will need to run something like
driver cleaner and or driver sweeper. to make sure all the ATI stuff is fully uninstall. do you have those programs?

 

I'm wondering if that site that mentioned GT725 mislabled the weight... GT627 weights 2.7kg, surely not GT725 carbon fibre edition.

 

That could very well be the case. Since there is so much misinformation regarding MSI laptops. It has to be lighter though.
I'll give MSI a call on monday and ask them about it. They have been very helpful to me in the past.

 

Right, i have uninstalled the drivers via the device manager then used driver sweeper to take everything remaining away, however it will not allow me to take 3 programs away.

I then tried to install 9.2 and it is still not returning to normal settings and not recognising that the gpu is there. I then went to the device manager and it come up this: This device cannot start. (Code 10) on the vga section. This is starting to nark me now.

Typical

 

i found this on nvidia this might help

 

Currently installing 64 bit Vista...The Product key for 32 bit and 64 bit is the same right?

 

yes u wil be alright

 

3Dmark06 (on GT725-074 model)

9.3 no OC - 9272
9.3 stock OC - 9671

Few questions:

1. Is ATI overdrive only used when the Turbo button is pushed, or is that what your card is set at by default before the actual turbo kicks in?

2. I ran the Auto-tune option and came out to 540/890, does this mean that its running at those numbers without the turbo button pressed?

3. Is it safe to run the card at 550/900 full time while gaming?
