3dmark13, 3dmark11 and 3dmark06. Available from 3DMark benchmarks - see the current range of this popular PC graphics card test .

Hello again, I ran 06, 11 and 13, but as it was the first time I did this, I don´t understand the results. My laptop is:

HP Elitebook 8460p

i5 2520m 2.5 GHz

8GB RAM

iGPU: Intel HD 3000

no dGPU

SSD Samsung Pro 840 500GB

eGPU: Asus Strix Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 DirectCU II OC Edition 2GB

I tried the three benchmarks with internal LCD, connection with expresscard x1.2.

With 3Dmark06 I had a problem. When I ran the software, It changed my screen colors to a lower setting and when the benchmark finished, it threw a 0 result.

3Dmark11

Score P6213

Graphics Score 7963

Physics Score 3709

Combined Score 3801.

3Dmark13

Fire Strike 4734

Sky Diver 11125

Cloud Gate 8801

Ice Storm 24068

As I said, I don´t understand any of these results, if they're high or low...

Hello Tech Inferno Fan, which software should I use for benchmarking so you can put my implementation in the main post?

Did you tey putting any load onto card? Many new Maxwell cards have fearure where they dont spinn the fans if Temps are OK and there is no load.

Ive had msi gtx 980 that did just that.

Yes. I started The Witcher, Rayman Origins, and Kerbal Space Program, but fans didn´t move. I didn´t play for more than 1 minute, since I started hearing a little noise from the GPU (like data transfering, or electricity, I don´t know) and I was afraid of burning it. Should I try to put it under a harder load?

EDIT: You were right. It works!! I tried MSI Afterburner, and the fan speed was set to auto according to a temperature/speed curve. Now I'll try to do some benchmarks so I can post them here. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi everyone. Sorry for my English, I'll do my best to explain my situation.

I'm trying to use this configuration:

HP Elitebook 8460p - i5 SandyBridge - 8 GB RAM

EXP GDC Beast ExpressCard with a x1.2 link, trying to get optimus too

Asus GTX 960 Strixx DIRECTCU II 2 GB

ATX PSU 500W

I had code 12 in the first place. I did DSDT override and solved it. Now if I plug the eGPU pausing windows start, I get code 43, but if with Windows completely started I unplug it and hotplug it again, it gets the driver correctly in Device Manager, and it works. The only issue is that the eGPU fans don´t move, and I´m afraid of getting it to work hard for if it overheats and burns the GPU. Anyone with this issue who can help me? Also if it helps, I have a red led in EXP GDC, kind of below the 6pin output that goes to the Video Card.

Thank you all in advance!
