*OFFICIAL* Alienware M18x Benchmark Thread - Part 2

Only saved the screen dumps at that size. Meh. I'm out. Will benchmark again another time. What can't you read? Surely you can see the details on the wPrime dump at least. I did all the tests one after the other, so the details are identical for CPU-Z on all of my screen dumps.

I'll see what i can do. but take a second look at page one. it shows how the screens should look.

Cool. Yeah I followed page 1 as closely as I could but then had to resize to be able to upload.. Don't have anywhere to host the images so I cant use the spoiler command. I'll have to set up my FTP on the new machine so I can put them up on my webserver and link from there in future.

I use imageshack.us
It's been a very good site for me for many years. And it's free.

John you mentioned on Mr. Fox's post "that's what happens when you turn on Physx" I thought it was already on? Is there somewhere you are talking about to enhance the settings.... Especially to get scores like that?

Thanks

Yes. it allows the cpu to generate a much higher score. Giving the final score a nice big boost.

John, But where is it turned on? I see it in the Nvidia settings? Do i need to change it to a certain GPU or maybe CPU? Or is there a separate program to use? I am currently on 290.36 drivers.

Or am I missing something? Fox and I have the same system...

When you start vantage, click options then click disable ppu. And that will turn it off. You can also turn it off in nvidia control panel and it's off all the time.

John, What settings do you have in your control panel? Screen Shot? What GPU should I put it on?

And Thanks BTW

OK I've ramped up my clocks for another run. Already smashed my wPrime scores. About to run more 3D mark tests. Will post up my results full size before I go to bed
