No problem. That's way better. Puts you right where you need to be at that speed.

You wont be able to get away with it right now I don't think, but you can start by adding a little as you go up in multipliers. You can only do so much sitting on a desk and at room temps. Since your working with 3dmark11, temps are really not that much of n issue right now, since you figured out your cpu problem. Run test 2/3/4 at your highest over clock and see what you get.(Gpu over clocking only. Leave your cpu where it is now) XMP profiles only work if you have a flashed working xmp profile on you memory. If they came factory like that, then I would use them. (1866 or higher XMP)

Once you make a change using XTU the bios multi's change back to stock in the bios. When going into the bios, you only want to make adjustments to flex vid and or pri plane only. Should look like 99 56 99 1200 In the power menu. Flex maybe around 45 Under the second advanced menu. And give her a whirl. As to 1866.....It worked better than 1600 for a few things like vantage and 3dmark11...

Good. You can't. It has to reboot for that. But what you can do is set them high and have TS auto start as a lower multi. Then use ts to up and down your multipliers. XTU is only used for changing the multipliers above 45x and bclk adjustments along with turbo voltage adjustments. The one one that doesn't need a reboot is bclking.

Is that XTU 2.1.1? Side Note: You should be well into 100 W for that test...

That's because I was benching his and scook9 laptop from my house over teamviewer. I even got a few records..haha

Don't take this the wrong way...but....My cpu cost more than your whole laptop and warranty... And since must games have a step or two above "highest" settings, you're not throwing everything at it. And the main reason why your getting away with "highest" settings is because your screen is probably a 1600/900P screen. You would need to be running at 1080P with AA & AF on.... For starters... Fact of the matter is...It doesn't even have to be an Alienware, it can be a Clevo. Still better than your Toshiba. So the moral of this story is....If you would have added a few more 100 to your Toshiba purchase...You could have got a really really better laptop that "will" play all the games you throw at it..Except....on "ultra high" settings. And at 1080P. Again, don't take this the wrong way...

I was working on their server at the time. And thought I would do a comparison with Brian while I was at it. You ready for that teamviewer session yet? LOL You can find out what they do by running vantage gpu test. You can over clock pretty high here and get away with it.

Well, it looks like we are only hindered in one thing... 3dmark11 test 1 Try running your highest clocks on test 2, 3 and 4 or to go quicker...Just test 3. You should be able to walk all over your previous score. and you don't need cpu speed to do it. So set cpu to like 3.3 ghz and run test. Also, didn't you try that vbios on your first 680m sli setup using both clevo cards? Per first post.

Posted these in another thread, but they will work here as well. There is no working boost. One max setting and then it jumps around between 0873 and in this case. 0950

Hummm, I tried that bios...all they did was throttle even harder.....but maybe i missed something. Side note: Im doing this testing at a dental office on a glass table. So no a/c here.

Boost voltage? What is that in a mobile card? The high voltage is set and the card jumps around from 0837 to what ever the max voltage is...

Goal is to get 13.4k over all Goal is to get 15.2k gpu Goal is also to get 12k Physics... It's allot of goals involved....but it's best to take baby steps first... This is just to show what can be ran on test one. Im using 32 bit because as we all know 64 bit wont show on screen display. It shows 62, but in reality it's 68-69.

He is right, you need way more than 85 watts.

When you run that test, it should finish above 30.0 fps for you to even be in the 10k range. And it has to be 3dmark11 64 bit and not 32 bit. You should look like this or close to it.

Which vbios are you using as well? As to your low physics score. It says you are running at 4.3 ghz, but I just ran one at 3.3 ghz and it's just as high as yours. So it appears you are stuttering in this test as well. To much voltage can cause this. Edit: That was 3.6 ghz

What clocks were you using to get this? To be honest, it's only one test out of all the benchmarks and games together. test 1 of 3dmark11. Get past that and your fine.

Or, this chip is just for the Imac & Apple series computers......speculation of course.

All hail one of the kings of vbios editing. What up brother Slv7 and how are things coming along here?

Oh wow! So I see. Wonder when that's going to hit the streets? Side note: And considering how thin that imac is....Double wow!

Did Brian get his cards yet?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2960XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: P13383 3DMarks

Answer to that is..... Vmware. So yes, it can be filled up.

Thanks. And I can understand that, fully.

Just adding some numbers here...Dell 680m's
