I have yet to purchase a new 15" Macbook Pro of my own, although I am interested in the FPS that these new laptops can produce. I am an occasional gamer and realize that these new GPU's are about middle class and may be able to play a few of the newer games at mid-high settings although they have 512MB. Any FPS benchmarks out there with specs of their laptops? I had a i7 2.66ghz, high res screen 1680 by 1050 , 4gb RAM in mind.
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I ran Dacris Benchmarks out of curiosity and don't understand the results. I have the XPS 13 with the q8700, 4gb ram, 256 graphics and 128ssd drive. Here is what it told me:
Your system's overall grade is: 419 Your system does not need any hardware upgrades yet ......
i was wondering if anyone has the dell m1730 can run some benchmarks.
it doesn't matter if it is stocked overclocked or whatever.
just post up your system specs and if you are overclocked (if so please state your clocks if you do not wish to give out your clocks, just say ""max overclock")
if you don't know what to benchmark, here's some stuff you can do.
also can you please tell us your settings on the game when you run it.
i have been searching but it's dead and the owner's lounge is way to big to search every page. it doesn't matter what gpu/cpu you have. as long as you state what you have.
I just benchmarked my system and i originally got 2,000 with 3DMark 06. But after installing new drivers i got 4,857! And in PCMark 05 i got 4,893, although i need to re-test that one because it was lower than i should have gotten i think and
i installed new drivers for my pc like i said. But for 3DMark 06 getting 4,857 is much better than the reviews which it got around 4,200 i believe.
Are the 9800s better or worse than the 8800GTXs? Anyone have some 3D Mark benchies to show us?
I dont O/C my 8800s as I am sure any more heat isnt good for the notebook.

Old school laptop, but I figured why not lol.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently unlocked my 7900GS (in my inspiron 9400), and have it running comfortably at 450/1100 @ 1.24v ...
By comfortably I mean the MAX temp under full load (using ATITool Find Max Core) is 78C
(which I know is high, but this is a stress test afterall ... it would never be running this streseed under normal circumstances)
with 0 artifacts over 4 hours of running ATITools ...
I went to benchmark with 3dMark 06, and my score is 2551 ... WTF?
Now, I am a vista (x32) user, and recognize there has been evidence that graphics performance under vista is slightly lower then in XP ... but 2551? Thats a ridiculously low score
I ran 3dmark with no tasks running at all, and when I as afk
Does anyone have any clue why my 3d mark score is so ridiculously low?
If its of interest to anyone, i'm using Forceware 173.65 drivers from the good folks at laptopvideo2go (with the modified INF)
And my laptops specs of relevance are: T2550, 2gB @ 667
I am submitting benchmarks for my Dell Studio XPS 16. More 'benchies' will follow over time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was bored tonight so I ran some benchmarks on my 1720, Specs in Sig
Only change was the GPU was overclocked.
1st Pic is 3DMark @ stock clocks.--------3449
2nd Pic is 3DMark Overclocked-----------4366 Old 4259, 4271, 4280
3rd Pic is Vantage @ stock clocks--------P1115
4th Pic is Vantage Overclocked-----------P1457 Old P1410
I didnt get time to finish a Vantage run on my last set oc clocks since it needed tweaking due to display driver crashes. GPU temps never reached higher the 67*C when overclocked
Just recently upgraded my E1705 with a FX-2500
Flashed the unlocked BIOS with the 1.24 v GPU 500 -1200 clocks
3DMark06 came back @ 5180
Just wondering how this matches up with others here with a simular setup.
So there have been quite a few posts recently about the 8600GTvs7900GS debacle, so i thought Id post some benchmarks for everyone's viewing I used tomshardware.com to compare the GPU's. Ive come to find BF2142 is quite popular in these forums so this is a game i decided to use w/ the benchmarks. I wont say anything else, Ill let you decide on the performance difference between the two
Note- I realize real world performance/driver tweaking can have a great impact on things, these BM's are for your curiosity only
I've run the little Atom Z530 through it's paces and am supplying all you here with a 3DMark 2001se and SuperPi 2M score.
I tried 3DMark 03, but it just crashed...

i threw my 2 cents in. benchmarked my m1710 with 7900gtx in the thread.
my FRAPS result is near the same as what the 8800 got @ 1280x1024...
maybe diff @ higher res? or better drivers?
i think i got it to work now!
source test actually ran at 1600x900 but that wasn't an option (please add 16:9 resolution choices to benchmarks)
Looking to get some IN-GAME benchmarks with FRAPS, and see what different people's rigs are doing. Why are the M1730 guys allowed? Simple...so we can see what the new M1730 can do, and see if it is worth slapping another $3,000 to $5,000 down on the table.
RULES:
1- To rule out as many variables as we can, we should all use FRAPS for benchmarking. F-11 is the default key to start a benchmark.
2- Tell us about your rig. Be specific about hardware, OS, clockspeeds, and drivers. Having that info in your signature is even better.
3- Cut and paste straight from the FRAPS log that is created in C:Fraps. Be sure to specify what resolution you're using because FRAPS does not document this.
4- Specify what graphical settings you are using for that game. Saying 'Full Graphical Settings' means that you have every graphic option for that game maxed out, turned on, etc. In Bioshock you could say 'Full Graphical Settings, but Dynamic Lighting is Off'. In Oblivion it would be nice if you specify outdoors or indoors. You get the point.
5- TURN V-SYNC OFF. If your scores are pegged at 30FPS or 60FPS, that's nice, but tells us nothing. If you say 'Full Graphical Settings', we are to assume that V-Sync is off. You don't need to mention it.
It is obvious to me that this is not as foolproof as an ORB link. People can edit the text file to say whatever they want it to.
Just replaced the stock 80GB WD800BEVS drive in my E6500 with a 320GB 7200rpm WD3200BEKT Scorpio Black.
Here's the before and after benchmarks which basically doubled.
Other than doubling the ram to 4GB it's the best $90 upgrade I've made to the E6500 so far. Vista flies with this thing
After getting my new 1410, I was interested in finding out just how much a hard drive and RAM upgrade would help. I have a 1410 SU2300 which came with 2 1GB DDR2 Dual Channel 667 Mhz 5-5-5-15 RAM modules and a 160GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue. I made a list of fairly well known benchmarks, and ran them with various configurations using upgraded RAM (2 2GB DDR2 Dual Channel 800 Mhz 6-6-6-18 Corsair) and HDD (320GB Seagate Momentus 7200.4).
For testing, I wiped the drive, installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and applied all the tweaks in the 1410 thread, including installing BatteryBar, RMClock, and a few programs of my own like Office 2007 and Dropbox along with the latest drivers for every component and all of the latest MS updates. Then, I installed the following programs for benchmarking:
PCMark Vantage x64 Professional - Overall performance indicator, provides scores for various areas of computer usage. Instead of running synthetic benchmarks, it runs scripts using standard Windows programs like Media Player and Internet explorer. Accurate and popular with repeatable results; probably my favorite benchmark.
PCMark Vantage x86 Professional - Same as x64 version, shown for 32 bit comparison – can only address 3.5gb of the 4.0 installed
Passmark Performance Test 7 – Synthetic overall benchmark, could not be completely run due to directX issues. Not very repeatable or accurate, I personally dislike it.
IOMeter – Hard drive benchmark, sends repeated IO requests and measures operations completed per second in various configurations. Reasonably repeatable, very accurate, much better at providing an overall performance indicator then synthetic sequential readwrite HDD benchmarks.
Everest Ultimate – Memory, CPU, and HDD benchmarking options. Not very repeatable or reliable.
Geekbench x86 – Memory & CPU benchmark. Somewhat repeatable, fairly inaccurate.
Geekbench x64 - Same as x86 version, allows for comparison between x86x64.
Crystal Disk Mark – HDD benchmarking program using various file sizes. Results given in MBs. Very accurate and repeatable, my favorite sequential readwrite testing program. Used 9 pass 1GB file settings.
3dMark 06 (3dMark Vantage couldn’t run) – 3d graphicsCPU benchmarking program. Repeatable, reliable, accepted standard.
HD Tune Pro – HDD benchmark, requires a non-window partition for write tests. Fairly repeatable and reliable, another ‘staple’ benchmark......................
There was no option for Everest benchmarks, so here are my results with Everest Ultimate v5.
Computer is an HP dv7-2040US. Full specs can be found in my other thread for Windows Performance Index in this same benchmark forum.
Memory Read: 6360MB/s
Memory Write: 5628MB/s
Memory Copy: 5477MB/s
Memory Latency: 80.1ns
CPU Queen: 14233
CPU Photoworxx: 11868
CPU Zlib: 51409
CPU AES: 14898
FPU Julia: 7329
FPU Mandel: 3702
FPU SinJulia: 1981
This laptop kicked major ass on Photoworxx. It was faster than the following:
Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6700 2666MHz scored 11706
8-Core Zeon L5320 1866MHz scored 9621
4-Core Zeon 5140 2333MHz scored 8626
2x Athlon64 X2 Black 6400+ 3200 MHz scored 7653
2x Core 2 Duo P8400 2266 MHz 7534
8-Core Opteron HE 2344 1700 MHz scored 6622
4x Phenom X4 9400 2200MHz scored 6532
2x Athlon64 X2 4000+ 2100MHz scored 6419
2x Core 2 Duo T2500 2000MHz scored 5053
2x Core 2 Duo T5600 1833MHz scored 5027
2x Xeon 3066MHz scored 3339
I know the computer makes a difference on those benchmark scores but it's still kinda cool to compare. I was shocked to see that I beat the QX6700 2666MHz!
when the MBP first came out, but with no results other than people saying it would get too hot... maybe now people have had some experience with overclocking it on the MBP?
I gather you can essentially patch the firmware so it behaves as a 9700m GT. Are there other ways, as that sounds risky to me? Anyone overclocked theirs?
Alternatively, do any recent drivers give significantly better results?
To day i found new Vaio Z show off in my country (Thailand) it come in stores 4 days ago here is specification of top model

New palmrest design is looking more better than the picture, the 1920x1080 screen does not look too small at all because it set font size to 125%. Text look a little bigger than the 1600x900 at font size 100%
When i set the font size back to 100% the text is small but not too much i think many people can live with that size.
After that i download some benchmark programs to test the device but in final the sale really don't want me to do that. So i took a picture in hurry and this is the result.
i own a dell xps m1530 with the following specs
intel core 2 duo t8300 2.4 ghz
4 gb ddr2 ram
500 gb 5400 rpm hd
nvidia geforce 8600m gt ddr3
etc
while im charing the laptop is a t tip top condition but if i remove the charger while the laptop plays any thing graphically intensive like a game it just blacks out boom without shutting down. even if i try starting the game without it charging it still blacks out when if starts redering the graphics ive tried every thing n i always meet a dead end
I have installed Street Fighter 4, Dirt 2, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age and Burnout paradise, and all these games have one common problem and that is it lags after 3 minutes and then runs smoothly. I really don't understand what i have to do to fix it. I have tried all the possible solution and i have the latest Nvidia Driver (195.62 driver) from the Nvidia website. If anyone has solved this lagging problems then could you please, please, please help me out on this. Below is my laptop configuration
My below PC configuration

Ram - 3 GB + 4 GB ready boost
Nvidia Driver - 195.62
Graphics Card - 8600M GT
i recently bought a Dell studio 1555, i have been using it for 10 days now and just yeterday i installed tom clancy's HAWX on it, after 5 minutes of playing the game it froze (crashed) and the screen turned from white to purple to other colours untill it went back to white... i thought it was the game so i tried playing COD 4, COD 5, Rainbow six V2, GRAW 2 and Far cry 2......they all run smoothly on high/medium graphics settings......but after a couple of minutes like 4 or 5 it crashes and the screen goes white and then fades from white to blue to purple then white.
the specifications of my laptop are as follows
-P8600 2.4ghz core 2 duo
-3GB RAM
-512mb dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
-320GB 7200rpm HDD
the problem only happens whenever i play games for a few minutes!
I reinstalled windows xp on the m1730 system, the game panel (this is the little lcd panel above the keyboard on the right side) worked for a bit and now doesn't come on, I have downloaded and installed all the drivers from the dell website but it still doesn't work,

Gameplay seems to work better for some reason.
I really think the vent being partially occluded by the screen causes the system to throttle.
I do not get this issue when the screen is closed out putting to my tv ...
hows modern warfare 2 run?
