I´ve some notebooks to bench, but i´m to short of time, too. A bench session cost´s a day...

@svl7 - still using m15x?

We are climbing to the top 10 with 16 members

347.25 is still locked. No way for oc. I´m still using 344.80 from laptopvideo2go.com.

@walhalla : Time to speed up your R4: svl7`s 3DMark11 - Performance score: 7563 marks with a GeForce GTX 680M

Good ol' M15x kicks ass

Congratulations.

Have you used an clevo card? What´s about the throtteling problem? Were the clocks stable?

Ok, I´ll write it. Something to do in my holidays....

PCMark Vantage is in points ranking since 2009 (my oldest submission). UCBench is new this year.

What do you think, should I write an article about hwbot for the forum? "What it is and how points are to earn". I´ll think we can get many submissions with different notebook hardware.

Overview of Benchmarks in HWbot

Overclocking, overclocking, and much more! Like overclocking.

@ team - we need some benches for 3720qm, 3820qm or 3920. All benches welcome. Every upload will add teampoints.

Let´s go!!!

Was a joke...

New nickname "gpukiller"?

I know. You mean your 6970m.

Do you mean a blind flash? Someday I had killed a 8600m GT with an corrupt bios. After 10 tries I´ve resuscitate the card with a blind flash.

If this means, I´ve to solder a new chip on the GPU-Board, I´ll be afraid...

You have access, but not directly. I´ll will try it.

Yeah, it´s fun to bench, nothing else.

DR650SE Good work!!

5150Jokers submittet an awesome 8745 3DMark11 Performance submission with an 680m!!!!

5150Joker`s 3DMark11 - Performance score: 8745 marks with a GeForce GTX 680M

Yeah, it's not easy to get to the top with notebook hardware... but it's still fun! DR650SE managed to get some global points with a dual core mobile CPU, not much, but still really impressive imo.

I like to see how some of the notebook hardware can be pushed... e.g. 920XM 32m wPrime in just 6 seconds...

Hi guys, just left my old Team PGHX (PC Games Hardware Extreme). The notebooksection in this team is very poor and there are no members to talk to specific notebook problems. I´ll think this team is better for me. As you can see I´m benching everything that fall in my hands.

Sorry, a jumping banana cannot be benched.

Unfortunately notebooks can´t reach global points. So it´s very hard to get more points for myself. But the team got a benefit for each transmission.

@ all: Team-Members bench everything you get and our Team will soon reach TOP 100!!!!

680m is throtteling down to 222Mhz. I don´t know which power state has 222 Mhz. Maybe it´s a solution to turn this powerstate to 800 Mhz?

In my m17x R4 (with stock bios) the card starts to throttle, if I use more than 80 Mhz oc. 800 plus turbo is without problems. Anything above is sh......

Ok. Tests are done, all 3 ones. Unfortunately the 680m is still throtteling down to 222 Mhz.

Higher clocks, and a slightly different approach regarding the mod. More specific information about the versions can be found in the second post.

What have you changed?

Second post ('Test versions') updated with three new Dell 680m mods. If you decide to flash any of it, please let me know how it performs, else I can't improve them. I don't have a 680m myself.

GPU Boost is from 719 to 758

M17x R4 owners: What are the stock boost clocks for Dell 680M in M17x R4? Stock core is 720. How high is it being 'boosted' by the boost function?

I´ve some questions:

Is there a way to use clevo vbios in the m17xR4? Clevo cards have 4 Gig of RAM, does this matters? Has someone testet this?

If it´s possible, are there other problems like "no sound" from hdmi?

I´ve some tools for gpu monitoring (GPUZ, EVGA Precision, Aida64...). It is not an monitoring problem, it´s an vbios problem.

RAM gets higher from +400 to +500 but over+200 the scores/fps will be the same....

If GPU gets more than +100 (or a little more) it starts to throttle. It´s also not a problem with the temperature.

My english is not the best, but I´ll try to explain. The 680m in an alienware m17x r4 is able to get oc with +135 Core (Bios locked) and some hundreds on RAM clocks. In real tests +100 Core (719 to 819 plus Turbo 858) on GPU and +200 (900 to 1100) on RAM is the highest setting to improve scores/fps. SV|7 opened the lock in bios und also relesaed some bios versions with higher voltages. But any further oc than 819/1100 doesn´t improve the scores. The bios semes to have another lock. Temperature are ok at oc with 63 degrees celsius.

Our gpu-bios-hero SV|7 is searching for an solution.

I'm interested in that vBIOS too, but I'm waiting for this problem to be solved through BIOS update (I mean the posibility of ocing the card with MSI afterburner).

Could you send me that vBIOS littleone562? I'm not able to find the PM button (I feel kind of stupid haha). (I'm [Nikos] @ notebookreview).

May someone be so kind of explaining the overclocking problem of Dell's 680M?

Thank you in advance

Nice work. Thank you.

got an samsung 830 128 GB. It´s running in my aw m17x R4 with 498 MB/s reding und 343 MB/s writing. Has anyone the 256 GB model? I´m interestet in reading performance.
