RevDiesel Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 My 3dmark vantage was P6351 and 3dmark 06 was 12527ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video HostingImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 The only issue is that he has the 2720 qm which is a bit faster by almost 400mhz at all 8 threads... So we need items that are primarily gpu like just cause 2 or metro 2033 built in benchmarks to see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenxowens792 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Here is my stock 3dmark11 Score 1334 (10 point difference between 2720qm) sounds about right. And I mean I set everything to stock.. bios, nvidia I hit the reset button to apply default settings, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenxowens792 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Here is my stock 3dmark Vantage Score. Again bone stock. (Im not worried about 3dmark06). I need to take a break for a while to visit with family and maybe actually game for a moment before I have to wake up and do it all over again...

Nando Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) conclusion: 10/20 points not worth spending the $100 EDIT: $100 for the GPU upgrade n $150 for CPU upgrade just to get 10/20 points...i dont thing so dude!

Stevenxowens792 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Nando - I still dont know how I am higher in vantage stock by 11 points. Here is where we really need some creative thinking. I think a game like ARMA 2 and Arma 2 OA which hammers the cpu and gpu will actually give us the best figures to determine what type of performance increase you really get. the problem is .. ARMA is also a beast to get configured. Example... you install default, run mission 8 which is benchmark, you get 31 fps avg. Un-install, wipe registry. install default, run mission 8, get 34 fps. Makes no sense. Metro 2033 is our best bet and Just Cause 2. If we really want it to be close we can both disable turbo so that only puts us at 200 mhz apart no matter what so the cpu really becomes a non-factor. Same cache level.Take Care,StevenX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unreal25 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 How much fluctuation in numbers do you get if you re run the test? I wouldn't put any significance to those 10 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
