FutureMark can't compare my score because it says there's no similar systems to compare to, and I'm still new to this....
3DMark06: 11573 3DMarks
I've never really used 3DMark, but I wanted to stress for temperature reasons and decided to see what I could get in 3DMark06. I got 14197, and I'm wondering for my setup is that good, bad or average?
I've never really relied much on 3DMark scores, it's nothing but a number to me - as long as a game even LOOKS like it's running smooth I'm happy =-P Just wondering what I should have expected outta 3DMark06 =-)
I just received a 1645 with i7 (720), 4GB, and ATI 4670. Ran 3dmark05 and got about 11,000 or so. However, on my previous Vostro 1720 with a Core 2 Duo 9400 and a Nvidia 9600M GS card, I had over 10,000.
Shouldn't there have been a signifigant increase given the processor and video card upgrade? Did this on a new install of Win 7 64-bit on battery power (with powersaver off)
I’ve managed to squeeze out 3DMark 06 Score of 5159 with the setup in my sig.
Wish I could find a way to overclock the X9000 CPU and get the score up higher.
It seems like every other person with an m1530 gets better performance than I do. Here's my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo, T8300 2.4ghz
geforce 8600m GT, 512 mb RAM, DDR3
4 GB RAM
250 gig 7200 rpm hard drive
Windows XP sp3
I'm using the latest mobile Xtreme G drivers for overclockablility. They seem to perform better than standard nvidia drivers anyway.
My first 3dmark06 test gave me a score of 1232. This is absolutely horrible... especially compared to other m1530 systems. I overclocked to 600/825 and got a score of 3084. A lot better, but still not good. I got a dangerously high temperature at one point of 90 degrees C, though it was only for a second. It was an average of 80. I'm not going to keep my system OCed, I just wanted to see what it could do.
So why does my system have such terrible performance compared to other m1530s? Most 3dmark scores for the 8600m GT have are an average of around 4500.
I have had my motherboard and graphics card replaced on my dell xps m1530,
I have since had extremely low fps in games,
Someone told me my 3dmark score for my processor was extremely low,
I have a intel core 2 duo 2.4GHz t8300
it got a 3dmark score of 6569,
it got a CPU score of 549!
i have 4gb ram,
8600m gt
2.4ghz core 2 duo cpu t8300.....
I got 10485 in 3D Mark 06 at 1920x1200 with my overclocked 8800m GTX SLI and with only a 2.4 Core2Duo, not bad at all
Crysis runs DX10 all options high at 1920x1200 an Average in the benchmark test of 43 fps avg
why Dell says a 8800M GS fits into a M1730? Does a 8800M GS even exist?

What do you guys use to OC the 8800M SLI? What is the ideal clock setting?
Does Dell usually sned you 2 power supplys?
I did not order the extra PSU, but I received 2 of them and they are huge!
I just bought a new Dell M1730 with 4 gigs of ram and the Intel Core 2 X9000 processor.
It has the 8800m SLI video card(s) in it. I installed Everest and it consistently says that the GPU temperature is running around 160 degrees F. I am *not* doing anything other than surfing the web and haven't been. Is this normal? The harddrive and cpu temperatures both seem fine. They are 91F and 90F respectively. Any ideas why the GPU would be so high especially since I'm not really doing anything (playing games for instance) that would push it to it's limits? I did buy a notebook cooler but it isn't here yet. It's sitting on a flat surface with decent airflow.
I'm just a little concerned as I don't want it to burn up.
I have a Dell M1730 with 2x8800m GTX video cards and after trying drivers from a variety of sources,
I still haven't been able to get a solid 30+ fps in WoW (world of warcraft).
I did a clean install of Windows XP and started off with the drivers on Dell's website, which gave me roughly mid 20s fps in WoW.
I'm currently looking for a new laptop so can you give me a rough estimate at what .........
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm another one of those waiting for an 8800M GTX (Dell PN XM888) replacement...
Replacement was initiated by Dell in early September, was told backorder until September 21. On September 21, backorder was pushed to October 5...
I've made a bit of noise and I'm at the "Consumer Escalation" level, but I know there's the "Executive Escalation" level as well. At this point, I've got a Service Call number for a system replacement, but it's showing no activity....
I read a few sites today that said that Dell will be offering a upgrade program for those that buy the M1730 prior to the release of the Mobile 8800.
View 15 Replies View RelatedJust purchased a 1555 with the radeon 4570 512mb GPU, Windows 7 64-bit, and performance is generally very good apart from one strange result. Windows experience index reports the following -
Processor - 5.7
Memory - 5.8
Graphics - 4.9
Gaming Graphics - 6.3
hard disk - 5.9
So the only low result is the desktop aero graphics performance at 4.9, which seems strange when the 3D businnes/gaming graphics score is 6.3. Other results i've seen posted on forums of the Windows 7 WEI scores are usually the same for desktop graphics and 3D graphics in Windows 7, which I would have expected as I understood that aero uses the GPU similarly to games. If anything, it looked like in most results the desktop graphics scores were slightly higher than the gaming graphics scores.
Does anyone know why I could be getting a lot lower desktop graphics score compared to gaming graphics?
I've checked the graphics drivers are up to date.
Can anybody else post their Windows 7 WEI scores from the 1555 with the 4570 512mb GPU?
I noticed a strange thing to my T420 - when SpeedStep is enabled CPU switches to lowest speed periodically which immediately affects performance. It switches to lowest speed even when CPU is at 100%. Then after few minutes it comes back to normal.

I did my unlocked bios mod.
with stock clocks I got 7862 on 3dmark 06 demo.
This is super low? right? a gs can do better right?
what is some good drivers I can use for XP for this card?
if anyone is running vista or XP on their macbook pro? If so anyone got any benchmarks for the performance of the graphics card?

No mods or anything. And with up to 1.2.1 patch installed.
I may take them apart and do AS5 but I dont think it will make a difference. I took some pictures and I will post them in a bit but I am having problems. I was able to enable SLI and I ran 3DMark06 and I got 9937 so I went to overclock my video card and RivaTuner gave me some prompt that it has not been tested with my drivers and and would not run properly. Once in Rivatuner I noticed I am not able to overclock my vid card or anything. So I tried to reinstall rivatuner and nothing. Then I uninstalled my videocard 171.16 drivers and ran drivecleaner, reinstalled my drivers and same thing. I even tried the new 174.12 from laptopvideo2go and still nothing.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI just recently bought a 8800m gtx card with part number xm888 for my m1730 to replace the 8700m sli card that came with it.
My question is whether my 8800m gtx card is sli or not. With the 8700m, when i check my display properties it tells me it has a total of 512mb memory, which makes sense since it is two 256mb cards. But when i do the same thing for the 8800m card it tells me i have 512mb video memory. Does this mean my card is single and not sli? Or is my card two 256mb cards?
Correct me if i am wrong, i read some old threads and people who got the same 8800m card with part number xm8800 said it was a sli card with 1gb memory. Physically, the 8800m i have looks exactly like the 8800m sli cards that have been displayed all over the forum.
I am also using the latest dell drivers.
there are so many people with a dead 8800m gtx. Mine died a week back. Technician came yesterday.. replaced motherboard to see if it made things alright..It didnt. Now they are telling me that I will have to wait another week for the replacement parts which (is supposed) to be arriving a week later from Malaysia. (BTW I am from India.) If anybody here would be to let me know if 8800m are actually being replaced or not (especially in Asia)?
I have read many posts in this forum with most people from the USA and few in Europe having their M1730 being replaced with AW m17x. Any idea on whats the scenario in Asia?
What should I expect from dell a week from now? Any chances that I could actually get a 8800m replacement as I was told?
If they tell me to wait for, say a week or two more, do I have any other option but to wait? I asked them to provide me a temporary laptop replacement till the issue was fixed, but they said they dont have such facilities.

When this card comes out at the end of the year, will it get the same 3dmarks scores and fps in old/new games as the desktop version or will it be a little faster then the 8700m? I hope its going to be same as the desktop version.
