9300m GS in N10J overclocked, 2000+ in 3dmark06

umermajeed · 11-10-2008, 12:38 AM

Ok So I ran 3dmark06 before and after OCing. I have Windows XP SP3 installed on my N10J. I am using 169.04 drivers from laptopvideo2go. Processor is Atom N270 @ 1.6Ghz. Stock Gpu clocks are 580/400/1450

Temps before OCing were:

The 3dmark06 score came to 1385:

I OCed processor to 2.1Ghz and OCed GPU clocks to 760/530/1900.

The temps stayed pretty close to stock temps:

The 3d mark 06 score came to 1707:

So here is the great news guys... I changed the drivers to 180.42 and re-ran the tests. These drivers wont let me overclock the core clock of the GPU. As soon as I do that the 3dmark scores go down so I overclocked the memory. GPU stock speeds are 580/400/1450 Here are the scores.

GPU 580/400/1450, CPU @ 1.6 1577
GPU 580/400/1450, CPU @ 2.1 1919
GPU 580/450/1450, CPU @ 2.1 2010
GPU 580/500/1450, CPU @ 2.1 2079
GPU 605/500/1450, CPU @ 2.1 2017
GPU 580/550/1450, CPU @ 2.1 2144

Are there any better drivers I should benchmark?

You can overclock your GPU with NTune, and then save a custom profile and when you start up, if your settings are gone, then you just need to reload the profile. But seriously, I don't think you know what you're doing! Overclocking your CPU from 1.6 Ghz to 2.1 will ruin your CPU if you don't use a better cooling than the standard laptop fans. NTune is quite good, but I don't recommend you to OC your system...

I have been testing the processor OC for 2 days at intervals and the temps havent gone up a lot. I am just concerned about the GPU drivers that work best with 9300. I'll get those and then OC the gpu. I also want to know how far I can OC it.

Well OCing a 9300m in a netbook is going to vary from OCing the same card in a full-sized laptop so it's hard to say... especially since not many people even own an N10J in the first place, much less have OC'd them. Anyhow, it's interesting that you've managed to push those clocks that high. How is your 3dMark06 score?

Would also be really nice if you could give us some benchmarks (in comparison to stock speeds)

I'd run through 3DMark06 a few times to test your overclock. It will stress the GPU very hard.

Nice overclocking!

I am downloading 3dmark06 right now but I dont know how it is going to run the tests as the resolution on this notebook is 1024x600 and 3dmark06 res is 1280x800 or something like that. I'll run it anyway and see what happens.

I am still looking for better drivers though. So, if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

3DMark06 doesn't have a minimum resolution, As far as I know. People were able to run it on the N10J for its test here on NBR.

Thats some real good OCing, how are the CPU temps before and after?

I doubt oc'ing the gpu will help much since even at 2.0+ GHz the Atom will be the weak link. I'd like to see what the results are though. My N10J clocks to 2.1GHz easily as well. Temps remain below 72C
