deadbydawn Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Just to keep the serious M17x-R3 benchers company. Both at room temp (~24C)/no auxiliary cooling.3dMark11 -- P4457 (6990M @ 830/1150/2820QM) 3dMark Vantage -- P16,578 (6990M @ 845/1200/2820QM) Sorry for asking this, but how did you get your 6990m to a coreclock of 845 and the memclock to 1200? Looking at Overdrive, mine is limited baaad to 745 / 900 =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Overdrive, mine is limited baaad to 745 / 900 =/using overclocking via trixx or vbios there is no overdrive limit... i never use overdrive. also Revelator posted a method of editing the vbios to enable overdrive as high as you want yes you can change the limits... 845/1210-1215 is feasible in my experience for benching purposes... like what you qouted the 3dmark 11 and vantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadbydawn Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 so I'm using trixx for gpu-overclocking. a "strange "thing i noticed is: i did a 3dmark06 bench with 830/1180 and the temp was not higher than 76 degrees celsius. if this is true, then i'm happy, but isn't it the temp a little low for this card, especially at such high clocks? is trixx doing such a good job controlling the fans or what? ;-) what are you guys using for monitoring the temps?btw: putting my alien in the sig right now...just noticed i haven't yet..

So you are in a good temp range.... I am using 822core 1100 mem repasted with ICD 24 and undervolted to 1.051v (1.05 wont let my games launch correctly but i can boot windows) all power profiles i set to 3d clocks and ulps disables so the cards act more like a desktop card... and i keep fans on max with HWinfo. what i found is this... if you go beyond what your card is capable in long term use of using as clocks the temps raise many celcius just from small mhz increments on memio,shader and core. so as long as its below they stay fairly cool i noticed... moment i add more mhz like on mem... i'd see a large temp increase... so best to go up till the temps react negatively... its just not worth many degrees more for a few mhz. so i would inch up till you you notice that and cut back to what did not raise the temps much. using vbios is tricky so just be sure to read up on the whole process... there are risks involved. So to sum up your temps are fine and you could just stay with those clocks... gaming should be good there... you can undervolt the standard 1.1v down a little but it would hinder benching if you plan to bench higher than gaming clocks... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 okay thanks a lot for the information! i myself decided to stay away of vbios modding right now and just use trixx. as far as ulps, i disabled that, but as i don't have 2 cards, it doesn't make a difference anyways. concerning undervolting, do i understand it right that in order to use uv, i will have to use a modded vbios? also, i haven't repasted anything yet..i will do that, too, but right now i just don't want to take apart the machine just yet i really want to do the undervolting, but for some reason i can't push myself over to vbios editing atm ;( what i noticed right now is: when i use kombustor to do a stable-check, the temps will basically jump from 59 to almost 80 degrees in a couple of seconds, and then raise some more. but using the temp display in trixx, it shows less. so which of the tools is lying to me? -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes vbios mod is only way to change those volts unless using physical soldered mod. Trixx cant change volts or anything like that that i know of. Also kombustor and furmark arent as accureate as playing the most powerful game you have or can easily get of today on really high graphic settings.... i've passed hours on furmark and had artifacts in games... StevenX wrote some great material on it... its worth checking out... those apps push harder than real world apps may ever.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

widezu69 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 That is a very very good overclock. I don't think I can hit that. Mine pussies out at 850Mhz. I'll try and push harder but I really don't see it happening. Nice score. I could not hit 18k GPU score with a i7 2630QM so well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Did a Vantage run today, I set the Clock in Intel XTU to 105MHz. What do you think about the result? in 3D Mark 06 I got 20769, but I can't have the 6990 set as high as in a Vantage run, because other wise 3D Mark will crash. BTW, still haven't repasted...

That's pretty good for a non-XM system. I've seen 18k from a 2960xm + 580M but obviously it was the CPU helping them in that case. Good job.

Keep pushing it :-) Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalkthx! i got a vantage running right now at (863 / 1233) ... can't wait for the result, even though i don't believe i will get much higher (if at all) than the one before. my bclk is at the max i can get 105.50 is ok, but even at 105.60 system will freeze immediately. graphics-wise, i reached the max of the memory clock (1233), any more and the system will black-sod during the bench. gpu-clock is not at the max yet...bench still running.

Founder Brian Posted December 13, 2011 Founder Share Posted December 13, 2011 Try removing your bottom panel and shooting cold air conditioned air at the gpu. Though it may not net you much since you need more voltage.Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
