postalpainmaker Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 After much fiddling with my system and these Clevo cards + some great tips from my buddy @Mr. Fox I finally joined the 17k gpu and 14k overall club. Guess these crappy Clevo's were able to put on the big boy pants and join Dell: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2920XM Processor,Alienware M18xR1 score: P14215 3DMarks Of course thanks goes to @svl7 since all of us would be pissed about NVIDIA gimping these cards had our resident vbios genius not gotten passed their bullshit. Also props to @johnksss for keeping us excited enough to continue the chase.Johnksss and Mr.Fox humble me with there knowledge....thanks guys, and Svl7 for creating these killer v-bios.

Agree that we owe a ton of thanks and appreciation to @svl7 for his awesome talents that he so unselfishly shares.Johnksss and Mr.Fox humble me with there knowledge....thanks guys, and Svl7 for creating these killer v-bios.You're going to get there, too. I know you will. It is just a matter of finding what works best for your system, and no two of them are exactly alike. Brian mentioned that it was "tips" not "answers" that helped. He still had to use trial and error because his system works different than mine does. I expect we will start seeing some wicked benchmarks from you before long, buddy. I owe what I know to @johnksss not because he fed me all the answers, but because helped me understand the concepts I needed to follow in order to continue making progress on my own.

Another thing I picked up on tonight is that if anyone is testing using an hdtv like me, be sure to disable audio in the nvcp and drop the resolution for good measure. Before I did that, my cards were throttling no matter what.Another thing, keep the psu cold enough and you will get a bit more juice out of it.Edit: Last run for the night and until I get some more free time again: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5304395Sent from my GT-N7000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 It's a pretty cool benchmark. I like it. I needed to set NVIDIA Control Panel for the GPUs to use AFR2 for SLI to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted December 26, 2012 Founder Share Posted December 26, 2012 Yeah the SLI can also be setup by modifying the bits for it and setting it to Dawn. It's a nice looking benchmark but the results aren't consistent for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do the catzilla bench yet? 1440P I want them to hurry up and fix the submitting so i can grab a snap shot of my name in that top ten list.

Guest Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yes, I am eager to get it fixed also. My impression from their email replies is they don't know why it is not working. Below are my Catzilla benches. :)I'm getting CPU power throttling on the Physics (CPU) test, and these runs are with 1.087v on GPU because of that. There is just not enough power to go around, LOL. Kitty - 23386 Cat - 20088 Tiger - 13095 Catzilla - 8159 [H][/HR]But, 3DMark06 definitely needs AC cooling, and OC on the GPU actually generates a low benchmark score. Apparently a highly overclocked 680M robs the overclocked CPU of the power it needs to run, and vice versa... or it seems that is the case. I had higher 3DMark06 scores with far less powerful 580M and 7970M GPUs. Score below is running with the M18x sitting in my lap and my 580M and 7970M high scores were running on AC, so will have to give that a go pretty soon.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2920XM Processor,Alienware M18xR2 score: 31148 3DMarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Happy New Year! @johnksss - it's cool to see our M18x beasts grabbing Catzilla scores near the top of the stack, right along side decent desktop computers that I am sure their owners are proud of. (Although, some of them may not be pleased if they discover there are laptops that run as well as their desktops.)Tiger - 13284 under Windows 8 (lower CPU results) Tiger - 13295 under Windows 7 (higher CPU results) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 New 3920XM CPU is running good, but the GPUs act a little bit different now. Will need to re-train myself for 3DMark11, LOL. But, yeah, 3920XM is a beast. I was able to get it up to 108W at a peak once, but appears around 95W is the limit here, also.

Guest Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Quote Mr. Fox, why such loose memory timings? Can you not set lower, or can the memory just not take it? By "loose", you mean high CAS latency? If so, I have not found any way to adjust the Kingston HyperX PnP 1866. No settings seem to stick... manual adjustments are ignored for some reason.
