Asus G51Jx Owners Lounge

[rexrzer727]

Hello again, short and sweet this time...10,871 3DMarks total score!

I've MAXXED Out my hardware and the drivers both, tried several drivers and the latest seems to MAXX out the best, and lest I start doing damage to my video card, which is a Hell of a nice video card overall I am stopping the overclocking madness 100% until further notice.

I just simply cannot see this hardware going any higher than this, with any driver, come Hell or High Water, so here you go, the MAXXIMUM reachable overclocking on a Core i7 CPU equipped G51JX-series computer, apparently:

647 Core Clocks; 1556 Shaders Clocks (Linked); 2097 Memory Clocks, and THAT Is all she wrote! There aint' nothing left in the tank after that, this is MAXIMUM WARP for one of these cards with today's best driver.

I posted the graphiX to show the feat 100% for posterity, so enjoy, but that is the MAXIMUM these cards can reach with present technology. Now maybe the new GTS-460M 1.5GB video card will have better VRAM than this card I have here, but I strongly doubt it, as this is a Generation 2 (Rev. 2 in Everest Ultimate utility) nVidia GTS-360M the latest VRAM available from the company!

If anyone can post a higher overclocking than this, May God Speed, because they must be using force-fed ice-water and cold charmed air to their video card, as it's about 72-degrees F here now, a nice cool evening, and I just cannot get this card to go higher no matter what I try, any combination of Shaders, Core, and Memory Clocks...this is IT Folks, no more left to get!

I know that this 260.89 driver is the cat's meow also, the best available right now, as I've tried the earlier Verde drivers, plus the anitiquated 197.16 and a couple old standby's too, and they are not up to this 260.xx driver's feats!

It's safe to say unless something very unusual happens with somebody's GTS-360M video card, that this is just about the MAXIMUM Possible Mhz with one of these cards, barring some miracle that I cannot produce.

Good luck to all you overclockers, I've done the hard part for you once again, and I hope that this example is high enough for everybody so you wont' go out and damage your video cards trying to best it...there is really no sense in that, but if you must I cannot stop you....

Later gents, good night, and have a great weekend!

@rexrzer727, congratulations on getting back your laptop with the new GTS 360M. Now where can you view that info of it being version 2 in Everest? You said it has a higher base clock, what does that mean. Is it at 576/1385/1800 for stock since that's what my Toshiba X505-Q870's GTS 360M is set at stock. Does the card run cooler? Just want to know. Maybe I can find a way to fry my GPU and get the new one! Hehe!

Here you go Mr. 253, it's yours to peruse...note the "Rev 2" tag at the top of the description...my old card had none of that in Everest, so does yours? Mine did not, this is all new descriptions in that part of the dialog.

The card does run cooler also, never saw higher than 90 degrees tops in any test no matter what I was doing with the RAMDAC or VRAM as you call it...

Base clock seems to be the same, but the top clocks that make any difference once you unlink the Core and Shader are top Core Clocks of 640Mhz and top Shaders of 1625Mhz, and that is all she wrote. Over that settting unlinked you get driver crashes, and I don't like those because it can damage the card if you do it enough, you know?

That's about it for Everest's take on the card, but it is different than my
Gen 1 card in the computer originally...see for yourself!

Hope that is what you were after...and by the way, this setting beat my top score by one point! Go figure!! Hah-Hah! Not worth it to stress the card so much just for one point...better to leave them locked together, Core and Shader that is, and be more conservative, as you get the same results basically.

Later Mr. 253...

And this setting won the overall competition for highest score, period, end of story...645/1625/2097Mhz!

Top Score=10,878 3DMarks scored

I am seriously done with this now, and will not be going back to "better my record" any further...end of story.

Later Guys and Gals, if any!

Are you sure you couldn't get that shader clock to 1700...

Na, just kidding, those clocks are insane, hopefully I will be able to achieve something similar after my new cooling system is made.

@rexrzer727, sorry to make you disappointed, but my G51Jx-A1 that I bought in March has a Rev A2 version also.

[shinakuma9]

Hey guys, its my first time using an nvidia graphics card as opposed to an ATI one. Can i ask what the best drivers are for the gts 360m

[nfshp253]

@shinakuma9, 260.89. You can find it on the NVIDIA site.
@rexrzer727, I however can't reach the insane clocks you brought your GTS 360M. I've tried that 645/1625/2097 settings and it crashes halfway through the first graphics test on 3DMark 06. Driver crashes and restarts. Hmm...

[Jack2727]

MIne is also Rev 2 and I have a hell of a time getting past default settings, actually... i still havn't!

[Hino]

I'm gonna try that setting with games, since i don't' have any benchmark software. let you know if mine crush too XD
