Most likely your secondary (slave) card is getting too hot and throttling hence the lower score!!

Yeah unfortunately the slave card on the P370EM is always going to be an issue due to the design they went with. The slave card heatpipes for the sink are just too long and have to travel too far to be efficient. The main GPU is better but still not optimum. best you can do is re paste and make sure for a good contact, there are a few mods and tricks on here you can do. And if you want to go further lapping the sink surface also helps but the problem will always be there, just with less effect. Here is an e.g where you see the 2nd GPU and how far the pipes have to travel..

Dunno about vantage, but Firestrike is next i think..

No problem. Svl7 and you Prema are the best. Both your work are greatly appreciated and marvled. Between you two im sure uz can overcome any obstical!!

Yeah i was gonna get them for mine but they would be a ton slower than my 680m,s without your super dupa modded vbios so i didn't bother just yet.. Donated btw!

@Prema Yeah i dunno, you gave me that vbios a while ago, is there a newer "high volt" versions for my machine ?? Thanks,

Was playing around some more on current 1075mv vbios and with same core Clock as before (1108mhz) and little higher memory than before (1140-1145mhz) It seems that i have good GPU,s for core clock but average Memory as at 1150mhz vram i start to see artifacts. I will try the highest vbios 1100mv in cooler conditions and see if i can put the vram higher, i know the core clock will go higher no problem doing this so will see what happens. More to come when i have more spare time and more tinkering as i still have not got the hang of things properly..

Yeah, no problem man thanks. Im heaps happy with my 680m,s atm so maybe i will wait a little while before i change them!!

The mods for the 600 series mobile GPU,s has been amazing from the legend svl7.. Sooooooo. svl7, gonna be doing for 780m ?? If yes i will buy some.. lol

Yes the Standard bios this comes with is really pathetic! It doesn't let you do anything and also causes Errors to occur if you try to do it with XTU. All the files are available on this site for you to unlock the true potential of this beast! First you will need to Get the Prema Mod Bios for the P570WM which is in the bios mods section on here. Then you will need to get the Svl7 modded vbios for your graphics cards which is also available on this forum and that will enable a bucket load more performance. http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo-sager/3119-premas-bios-mods.html <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Grab the one for your machine and follow the read me! @ukyo

No actually. And one card runs a little warmer than the other due to the machine design so i might see which of the 2 cards is better and then put the better one in the position slot that gets a little warmer. heat kills stability.. e.g I used to run 2 MSI GtX 680 Lightnings @ 1.3v and 1400 mhz max on air, and i put them under water cooling and exact same settings and they did 1460mhz easy.. lol

Thanks, Ya, im pretty happy with it especially in mid to high 20 degree ambient room temps untouched machine. I could get more in a colder environment but this shows an honest run! The top 680m scores in the world don't even reach 1250 memory so that kinda tells you something, that you lose some core when trying to run the memory so high. The highest 680m graphics score in the world runs memory at around 1180 or so and core at 1130. Yeah by running the memory a little lower, i got a bit more out of core which is what a few people do hence why i set it a fair bit lower than its limit. But when i have time i will try to raise it a little more to see but gains are gonna be minimal id say.

Its 1075 vbios. Mine can do 1070mhz with 1050 vbios! Not going any higher without some other source of cooling method. Iv never ever been able to get memory very high in anything i have had so i couldn't be bothered really trying to push that, you have to remember that its almost 500mhz more than stock even now which is decent tbh, but yeah some can get more but id rather have the core clock which is where the real gains are obviously. Once i start to see artifact coz of memory oc then i back it off a good deal so im sure its 100% perfect so it could probably go a little more. And Noooo, at 4.3ghz the CPU temps are in the mid 80,s which is alright but at 4.4ghz which would get me right over 14k physics, i need a tad more voltage to be stable and the heat causes throttling under normal conditions so i will leave a true 4.4ghz run till the time when i decide to do an A/C run! Yeah I just started core temp after the run there..

Yeah i tried to get it from the manufacturer and they had no real idea of what i was talking about and ended up sending me the wrong one which was a normal Clevo file and haven't replied to me after i told them that they sent me the wrong one dumb arses! lol

Yeah i can go a little more maybe 1150 but too much more and its not stable. (start artifact) Wthout some sort of cheating cooling like direct A/C or meat fridge that is the max. Those people with higher on the 680m are using Non conventional cooling. Mine is just standard ambient temp room flat on desk as you can see. I can get more but i need Air conditioning or something.. LOL I am pretty happy with that!! That was just first time to push it so i will try again when i have time and see what happens! lol

Wow, nothing on here compared to Alienware! Okay well, here we go: Clevo Metabox P570WM. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3930K Processor,Notebook P570WM score: P15405 3DMarks NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3930K Processor,Notebook P570WM score: P15537 3DMarks http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo-sager/3387-clevo-metabox-p570wm-monster-laptop-11.html#post56253

Well had some spare time as iv been really busy away lately and started into the games again the other day since iv been back and decided to do a couple more benches and push this monster a little further! Very happy with the results and how it performs overall, best machine iv ever bought IMO. All benchmark tests were done with laptop sitting flat on my desk with NO additional cooling aids, its how i use the laptop everyday. I am pretty sure i could get more if i direct cool with A/C or run benches in a walk in fridge but these results are in normal honest environment as any normal person would use it so this really shows its true capability! Not bad for a notebook huh ? Special thanks to Prema and Svl7 for the mods and help! NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3930K Processor,Notebook P570WM score: P15405 3DMarks <<< No.1 in the world, Wooooooooooot!!

How did u go ? Yeah the modded bios does not have blck adjusting and i just use the multi to OC because i have the 3930K so its easy. But yours would be locked down multi ? Can you do blck it XTU ?

Hahaha Yeah i have had them all and still kinda have a couple. Just make sure they are in the right slots to run in "dual channel" otherwise it will just all be a waste of time and you could have 3000mhz ram running in single channel and it would be slower than 1600mhz running in dual channel.. in saying that, only really notice it in benches and physics demanding games...

Some games a crap code and not optimised. No matter what you do, it doesn't load the GPU,s fully so they think its a holiday and have no need to run at full clock speed. Not saying that is what is going on, but many games have that issue! Other than that, im not sure... Yeah i won't need too really, the temps are good. Read around and you will see how good 680m,s with a 1050v vbios and untouched cooling and only reach 75 degrees C Max is freaking awesome! I have the higher vbios files so when i get time i will run them and see what happens! Will try normal conditions first and then if i can't i will do it with A/C. Meat fridge would be cheating! Hahaha

They are good without a doubt, but i prefer Clevo machines but its personal preference tbh. Saying something is the "best" is a BIG call when it comes to computer technology. I have both brands so im not bias!

Hahahaha Yeah i can go more volts easy for the GPU,s as the temps only max out at 75 degrees even with this 1050v vbios. lol Next bump up in voltage should get me way over 15k total id say, and no.1 spot on 3dmark11 for this setup as there is still one user with the P570WM that is just beating me but id say he has more GPU voltage.. Will do that after im finished testing and playing with this real bios! Edit: I doubt i will ever get as high a GPU score as Johnksss OR Mrfox with there Alienwares as i think they are using some sort of cooling aid e.g A/C under the base of system etc.. I could run my laptop in a meat fridge and net heaps more points but i don't see the point in running tests out of real life conditions so i will just do my best with the machine sitting flat on my desk as i use it everyday and the results will be true and honest to what the system is capable of doing..

Yeah its still 100 times better than the pathetic Stock Clevo Bios, but final version should be awesome! Im having a little trouble with the "runtime turbo" disabling itself at times and going back to default settings. And can do timings on memory but it kinda has a mental when i try to change the speed, doesn't like it much! @lawtq Do you have any problems like that? PM me about it if you can and will discuss other settingscoz i dunno what the go is and maybe its just me.. Anyways, little further but i wanted to crack the 15k mark..

Yep, you are a true legend Prema! Still testing and going very well. 300 3d Marks increase from PCI 1.1 to PCI 2.0.. Installing faster Memory tomorrow and will then test and play some more!! I am getting close to the limit now due to ambient temps and have been doing all tests with NO A/C, just normal room temps and sitting as standard on my desk. I love how this thing destroys games!!!!

That Ram is very good. You would be better off though with filling the ram slots in 4x4gb kit. That should work no problems as i had that config in my P370EM and then you should be able to set and control it with Intel XTU. I would forget about 2133 for laptops unless you like problems and always stuffing around. 1866 is plenty fast when you set good timings...
