Macbook Pro 15inch 2011 ATI 6750m Game Benchmarks

[goldsaint]

i cant believe the results of the test i have made te past month between a macbook pro 2010 vs 2011. if you remember, i posted here a while ago and i for test purposes i bought a macbook pro 2011 that i sent back to Apple 2 weeks ago. i keep my 2010 machine with the gt330m.

here is why (dont take this as " just buy the 2010 and forget the 2011). i just want to show how Apple Inc litterally play mind games with techno geeks like us. Mostly when we all know that the most most important part in a laptop for gamers are the gpu and cpu.

here are my observations comparing the gt330m overclocked via nvidia settings and latest whql drivers 270.66 from nvidia (which gives outstanding performance in games), versus the ati 6750m overclocked with Msi afterburner (unfortunately i only got 4-9% increase) so i stayed with bootcamp stock drivers.

the 6750 performs 30% better than the 330m in OSX only !!!
thats what Apple forgot to mention !!!

for ex, in OSX i run starcraft 2 with latest patches and 10.6.1 at 30fps in ultra (varies from 25-30fps actually) all in high goes to 54fps with ultra textures.

whereas the 6750 gives me 60-70fps all in ultra !!

how come ? i would say drivers ! nvidia drivers sucks hell under OsX even with cuda 4.0 installed (custom)

now on windows 7 64bits ultimate
my gt330 is the exact same or sometimes performing even better than the 6750 ! did i mention my fans make no noises or anything under heavy loads of games ? on the 6750, fans run full speed like a vaccum on crack !

lets see some fps :

1) starcraft 2 (1440x900, all in ultra, no vsync)
gt330 : 60-90 fps (depends of maps, numbers of players etc)
6750 : 40-78fps (wierd isnt it)

2) crysis 2 (all in very high + custom textures mod)
gt330 : 28-35-54fps (min to max fps met during the game)
6750 : 30-48fps (min to max)

3) portal 2 (all in very high)
gt330 : 60-90fps
6750 : 30- 79fps

overall, more stable fps with the 6750. fps in gt330 can vary a lot.
But games run a lot smoother with physix engine on the gt330 than the 6750 (some games freezed with black screens, had to reboot the machine)

in OSX, 6750 is much better than the gt330m thats for sure and users from 2010 to 2011 macbook pro will immediately notice. thats not due 100% to te new hardware, it seems ati has the best driver support on osx than windows and vice versa for gt330 : best under win7, worst performance in osx.

worth spending money for a new model ?
answer is no if you are going to use win7 for gaming, envoding and video editing. BUT, if you chose OSX to do all of that, i highly recommand the 2011 model.

nevertheless, i am sure Apple could bump up the speed performance of the gt330 under osx, but they will never do it cause of marketing purposes and all the numbers behind it (graphics performance up to 3x faster than previous models and blah blah blah), which they are right about it, because they chose ****** drivers for the gt330 and best support for the new ati card.

nvidia cards are so much customizable under win7 than the ati.
not to mention laptopvideo2go that comes out with speedy drivers almost every days ! (search for Dox drivers mod for ex)

i am just curious what is your fps in starcraft 2 under win7 with the 6750.
just to make sure we get the same fps.

330 overclocked -

Something wrong there... My 330m is no match for the 6750. Please remember that the drivers for the 6750 have to mature still. nVidia has had serious time to optimize the 330m's performance.

Every game under Win 7 runs 30-50% better. (Bad Company 2 is one example)

I will say though, the 330m will go down in my books as one of the longest life laptop GPU's ever. It still works with the latest titles, and thats great.

NVIDIA is usually the way to go for games, doesn't really matter though. AMD graphics cards i have found to be much more reliable then any NVIDIA **** though.

Not quite sure how exactly you can get those fps..
It's up to desktop level, which is impossible..

Crysis 2 with 28-35-54fps is like GTX 560 Ti performance, there is no way you can get that..

Same goes to SC2 .... GT330 on heavily overclock can never get that fps on ultra setting, unless you are in a map with absolutely nothing.

Your fps is just insane and out of nowhere..

 

[Karkuro]

Hello everybody !

First of all, excuse me for my approximative english, I write from Switzerland, and french is my native language

I have a MBP 2011 15" 2.3 GHZ, 8GB RAM, 750 GB HDD, 6750m 1GB and HR Anti-Glare Screen.

I've tried to play Crysis 2 and it runs very well ! Everything on Very High Settings, Vsync off. Bootcamp drivers.
I first OC my 6750m to 766 / 955, and then to 780 /955. Both were stable. Then I tried 800 / 990 and after 1-2 hours of Crysis 2, I've got a blue screen. So I came back to 780 / 955 and I'm now trying a 780 / 990 and it looks stable. (11700 3DMark06)

But I have a question, in MSI Afterburner, I sometimes can go higher than 780 in coreclock (800 for example), and when I reboot the computer, I can only go to 780 but not higher, the maximum is 780.
Can anyone explain me ?

 

[Necriss]

I can only go to 780 but not higher, the maximum is 780.

Apply the clocks at 780 then restart MSI afterburner, starting a second time allows you to go past 780. If you want a higher overclock follow this guide - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1142028/

330 overclocked -

God you are dumb.

Sorry but you are comparing a 330m which is overclocked to a non overclocked 6750m. Seriously? I mean seriously? Sre you actually comparing the two.? Wow.

Why do you think the fps boost is bigger in osx? Because there is standard clocks on both cards. Jesus.

You cant compare a non oc card with a oc card. Thats just so ****ing dumb. Either run both games on standard clock or oc them both. The 6750 is easily overclocked.

Also the 6750 runs circles around the 330m

first of, relax.
second, your "logic" fails.
a lot of people with the 2010 ed wondered if it was a good move to spend another +2200$ on another machine that claimed "magical and outstanding graphical performance"
point is NO !
now, you're way pissed cause you spent that amount of money for nothing and you want your mac to be the king of all laptops for now.
But all the machines are already obsolete whatever you say.

finally, go back crawl to your tree hole

 

[aznguyen316]

I'm sure the 330m is pretty solid when it comes to it being OC'd. I've lightly OC'd the 6750 and it tears through Crysis 2 even better at extreme w/o AA.

It's hard to compare SC2 since different maps and whatever.

But I also didn't pay all that money for the GFX. The quad core is great and I find myself encoding video and using iMovie at least once a week to upload something new to youtube.

Glad to see you're finding good reason to have stayed with the 330m, but I had the i7 2010 briefly and glad I upgraded to the 2011. Just multitasking alone while SC2 was up bogged down ichat (and the rest of the computer) like a monster.

He said he did overclock the ATI card, but that it was only by a small amount, he did not say how much the 330 was overclocked by. It's all moot anyway as for everyone who doesn't overclock the ATI is by far the better performing card.

50% increase on gpu/cpu power is pretty signifiacnt i say. And i enjoy the quad core and better gpu. You enjoy dual core and the 330m. Nothing wrong in having the second/third best. THe cpu is so powerful compared to last gen. It flies. And multitasking is so fast.

And yes im enjoying my laptop. Hope you enjoy your 2010 model aswell.
And yes i spent money on nothing. Sigh. fortunate i can afford it.

Also i question your logic. If you have the 2010 and want the 2011 its not another 2200 dollars. If you sell the 2010 its just some hundred dollars.
Also you cant say its not a big upgrade. The cpu cuts encoding times in half.

Also the mbp is the best laptop out there. I still havnt seen a competitor with same speccs and weight. Ye you could have 7kg "gaming" laptop with lights and 1hour battery life.

As i also mentioned in other pages, people who kept their macbook pro 4.1 gen (pre-unibody with 8600m gt gpu) have an express card slot where they can plug a vidock external desktop graphic card.

my mate bought a gtx460 and he can virtually run any games all on ultra without any problems.

its not about the 2011, 2010 or 2000 models, its about how long they can last and what are the available upgrades.

the core2duo may seem an old old processor now compared to sandy bridge and others, but it is still very solid.

how many times did i hear people saying " will my new com handle starcraft 2 ? " before the actual game came up ?
not everybody want or can afford the top of the line.

Mostly when you know that 2010 i5 vs i7 wasnt that big of a deal. Same with coreDuo and core2duo. Now its dual core i7 vs quadcore i7.

people forget the dual core i7 has 4 virtual cores and can clock its speed up to 3.33ghz.

point is : apple fans are easilly decieved by the big company when it comes to "slight" upgrades.

i want to see the day Apple can beef up the specs of the macbook pro's up to an alienware machine or an asus gaming laptop. they may be plastics and have horrible battery life, they have some of the best and latest components the industry can offer.

and last of all, when i say overclocked gt330m it supposed to be the regular clock speeds the card should have shipped with since Apple underclocked it like crazy.

here are the numbers :
overclocked the GT330 with Nvidia inspector to :

GPU Clock : 650 (original is 500)
Memory : 900 (original 790)
Shader : 1430 (original 1100)

 

[shansoft]

i am gonna make a vid soon with fraps and post the link here.

fraps drop fps significantly, no point.

Go read up hardware review site like [H]ardOCP, there is no way you can pull out that FPS without a graphic card close to GTX 560/6950 level.

 

[adrian1480]

My oc'd 2011 is a SIGNIFICANTLY better performer than my 2010 was when oc'd.

It's not even a discussion for me. Games perform much better at the highest settings @ 1920x1200.

Probably a combination of the added horsepower and double the memory. Bottom line: I'm sure the 330m can hang at certain resolutions and certain settings...but at the highest settings and resolutions, it's not even in the conversation. If this weren't the case, I wouldn't have sold my 2010. But in testing them side-by-side, the 2011 won handily.

Its kinda hard to follow what you mean. Proper formating helps alot.

Anyways. If apple put a gtx mobile cars in the laptop it would require a redesign. They get to hot, and to heavy. You got to understand the mbp is not a gaming machine.

If you want then buy a alienware. Do you really think the mbp would be popular if it weight was twice. And thr battery life was 2 hours. No apple has found a good balance between good peformance and good battery life.

I dont get people thinking this is a gaming machine. Also external powered gpu has been declared a failure.

Good you enjoy your 2010 modell. But that doesnt mean the 2011 is a huge peformance increase. Thanks to the 1gb vram gpu and the hugr increase in cpu power.

And yes the dual core has 2 extra virtual cores. But physical cores is always better.

The new sandy bridge cpus has 8 cores. 4 physical and 4 virtual.

Point is mate, you don't know what you are saying I'm afraid, to even think that the new AMD graphics are a 'slight' upgrade along with the slight QUAD core CPU's...... in my eye's and pretty much most others, it's a massive boost in performance, of course I'll just believe the geekbench score I saw when I ran it on a 2.3 2011 model in the Apple store at the weekend. My eye's don't lie!

As for the Alienware and Asus, great machines, lovely and powerful but they are MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE, especially the Alienware's, just what do you expect Apple to do? Double the thickness of the MB Pro's? and thus alienate it's entire market, ditch all it's company values just to keep about 0.5% of the market happy?

People love Macs for a reason and one of those is because they ARE powerful and well made and not the size of a house!!

With this spec, you are absolutely NO WAY TO HIT those FPS, no matter what smoke you getting into.

Heck when did a GT 330M performance is up to a GTX 460/560 that only comes with 10x less shader. You absolutely makes no sense.

I have used m11x R2 with GT 335M, which is far more powerful than GT 330M, and still couldn't even get the FPS you are smoking out, not even half of it.

Hell, I have another laptop with 5650M, which is far superior than GT 330M, with 700Mhz(stock is 550Mhz) still couldn't reach that number that you posted.

I been doing graphic card testing and reviews for years, I have not yet seen a laptop GPU that ever reach a desktop performance beside those power hungry Fermi that are getting close to it, and that is 10x more shaders than GT 330M to begin with.

video will be up soon as i am uploading it right now. it will have 3 or 4 parts (took everything with my iphone 4, and the file size is huuuge ~ 3.86gb... so i had to cut in)

Games to be covered (all with fraps) :
- crysis 2 at extreme and very high settings (single campaign with many ennemies and explosions)
- portal 2 all in very high - high
- black ops all very high (covered zombie mode and single campaign)
- dead space 2 all very high
- starcraft 2 high and ultra settings ( multiplayer desert strike games)

didnt have enough time for 4v4 on fastest map. will cover that as well another day.

i donnt want to BS as i never do, and prove by vid. i let you guys be the judge. If i was wrong, i'll get the 2011 edition lol

This latest revision of the MBP is the best in a long time.

I dropped my Sony Z i7 2.8 - 3.47 / 330m 1gb / 8gb ram / 512 Quad Raid SSD and 1080p screen for it. Thats saying something because I hate large laptops. Was waiting on Apple to give us a real 13" MBP, but I have given up hope.

I have the same and higher specs on that Z as you on your MBP and I can tell you even with the Crysis 2 performance mod's, anything over 720p stinks. (OC @ 630/840) This is without AA and shaders!

This is also with the latest Verde drivers.

Like I said before, the 330m is a good card, but it has nothing on the 6750. (Except for support)

no shaders are in very high or extreme in the vid i posted. i never play any games with AA or Vsync or Antisotropic stuff.
performance will go down like crazy if i do.
