*OFFICIAL* Alienware M18x Benchmark Thread - Part 2

[Mr. Fox]

Nice CPU score, ahmadmud. Did you try the GPU test also? It's kind of neat.

[ahmadmud]

I tried the open GL test also and the score is very nice, I wonder if new modded drivers will further impact the performance...

Good job, Brother RV! Did you use the same utility as Brother John to mod your RAM?

I found a drive caching utility called FancyCache that I have been tinkering with. It's kind of cool. Look at the differences in read/write speeds on my SSD and HDD.

SSD - Before and After

HDD - Before and After

Note: image on the left is an old one. I forgot to run a benchmark on the HDD before caching.

Very nice I've seen that app before and its got some potential. Yes Thaiphoon Burner... waiting on another key been over 24 hours on a credit card order... I'm going to put 8gb Corsair low volt 1867 stock against Samsung low volt 30nm 1600mhz stock speed and see which handles the 2133mhz better... whichever thee winner is i'll buy another 8gb of that one and hope I can manage 16gb to work at the full 2133 too... might have to flash them to 2t they are 1t by the profile I used and because they are just two sticks right now... I mussed my Corsair and am waiting on the software key to use the app on my M18x instead where the Corsair are still loading... the comp I was using couldn't handle what I did to the Corsair lol... now with the samsung I got it done right and cane retry the Corsair at 2133... so far at the 2133- 12-12-12-36 seems to be rck solid I am using 1.65v but thats until I dare to drop it down to 1.55 to see if its stable for me as it is for John at 1.55

[Mr. Fox]

Not my best ever, but still mighty nice

very nice Mr Fox 33K gpu is sweet and way to clock the gpus at 855core

[Mr. Fox]

OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD benchmark posted below. Second Agility 3 240GB SSD it due to arrive from NewEgg on Friday, so if all goes as planned I will have 480GB RAID0 SSD by the weekend. They are on sale with at NewEgg for $219 minus $20 mail-in rebate (net of $199).

I still love my trust M4, but 128GB is just way too small and the M4 is more expensive than the Agility 3.

Nice CDM Mr. Fox!! - I just knew you would be after a raid ssd setup at some point - will look forward to seeing your raided benches! (and WOW - that's cheap!, wish stuff like that were that cheap over here in the UK - we'd be lucky to get one drive for the cost of your two!))

Fox do you ever get crashes at those clocks or can you play all games fine with those? Referring to your 33k vantage ones.
