Fermi Performance Thread

[Dentlord]

Ok since they are out here is the thread, post up your results here!

My results incoming later this evening...

[Splave]

can I get some 01 scores :)

[ReverendMaynard]

can I get some 01 scores :)

for real, and toss in some Cinebench OGL action :)

[Dentlord]

Ok so here is my first few hours of playing with my new Galaxy GTX 480

3dmark 03, 05, 06 were done on XP with the 197.41 drivers.
The Vantage screen (total fail) was on Vista 64 with 197.03 beta drivers.
CPU was 6c6t, 5ghz, no HT

Max stable overclock on air was 875 core, 1050 mem (shaders are forced linked and were @ 1750) @ 1.025v.
I could have given it up to 1.125v with AB 1.6 beta, but didnt want to fry it on stock cooling the first day, and you can feel the heat radiating off this thing.

3dmark 03 - 108,828
3dmark 05 - 42,041
3dmark 06 - 33,898

Vantage was miserable, gpu score of 21233

Sorry Splave, I didnt have the cpu clocks for 01 or am3 and my poor SS was working hard today just to keep it @ 5ghz.

Ill get those on the ln2 session.

I must say that other than vantage, which has to be a driver thing, this card is a total monster.
Here's to hoping it scales like hell with cold, and that I can get some more V to it soon via unlocked AB or vmod.

[Dentlord]

can I get some 01 scores :)

for real, and toss in some Cinebench OGL action :)


Ok Ok Ill fire it back up and try to get some decent cpu clock out of the SS for 01 tonight. And Ill see what Cinebench will do as well :thumbsup:

[ReverendMaynard]

sick Dent, that card is an 06 BEAST!

No hurry on the Cinebench, just wouldn't mind seeing it even at stock brother :)

[Dentlord]

OK 3d 01 was a wicked failure, 74k lolol

That was @ same clocks as above.
I dont have any way to tweak lod because riva doesnt work with the new drivers, but it wouldnt make that big a difference.

[Splave]

damnit!!
still need a 285/280

Appreciate the runs bruddah! still going to snag one me thinks, waiting on your ln2 results. Vantage should be 30k on cold :)

[Dentlord]

Its happening this afternoon, card is insulated, tek 666 and f1 mounted, ready to rock.

Now if I just had some ln2 :laughing:

Gonna run to get dewar filled in a bit, then its D-friggin-DAY babeh!

[Chuchnit]

I smell global boints :D These 480's look like they can do some damage on the bot.

[HITandRUN]

I just got the GTX470 and will do the Vmod today followed by a little visit at Splavster tomorrow for some hardware bashing. Here are some of my numbers on air. All win 7 64

looking good HnR very nice clocks.

Kubrick is rolling in the grave over that shirt though lol.

[Splave]

rofl awesome H&R, I thought that was a real helmet at first glance.

Tek at the ready, awesome your getting the vmod done ahead of time. Dropped the 50l off and my guy is going to let me pick it up tomorrow before work so we will have ln2 ftw.

Yeah I have the "contractors" thing going on so I hope I have some time later today to get the Vmod done. Remember to text me your cell # just in case I get lost in R-chester! Me noob :Dizzy: :laughing: :scared:

Yeah I have to try this but the notes say that this version of Afterburner don't work yet with GTX470. Next one supposed to be able to control the GTX470. Anyway it doesn't look like they give you a lot of volts anyway. I checked the voltage on the GTX470 yesterday and it is around 0.980V stock.

[Dentlord]

Ok ln2 today, but I ran into a roadblock ... afterburner will only go to 912 core :(

It ran that at 1.1v and never broke a sweat, cpu @ 5.7 I got some good scores in 03, 05, and especially 06 (100 points from a world record :thumbsup: )

03 - 114333
05 - 46223
06 - 37361 !!

Once I get software that will turn the core up higher, and full voltage control, lookthefuggout!

[ReverendMaynard]

holy fu** Dizzle!

[Dentlord]

holy fu** Dizzle!

This card is just disgusting!!

I ran out of ln2 before I could do anything else, pouring a 480 and 980x @ 5.7 sucks up a ton of cold juice.

[Kal-EL]

Well shit, howdy doody to you too, rofl :D :thumbsup:

[Dentlord]

Sorry here are screenies!!

[Witchdoctor]

Sick ................... just sick .............. :thumbsup:

May be looking at a 480 instead of a Matrix

[RomDominance]

Absolutely AWESOME Joey!!!
I still think ATI owns Vantage, but with some voltage, Fermi is looking tough.
Looks like the Empire gets to start using our own weaponry again. I look forward to loosing this Klingon red $hit.

Did you try the Galaxy tool. This is what I use to clock the 470.

[Dentlord]

Yeah it works on win 7, but I couldnt get it to run on my xp install?

Got Precision for next time :thumbsup:

[Splave]

awesome job joey!

[GFDuke]

Great work there Dent. I hope we can all get the same results when ours come.

[Dentlord]

Had to work out of town today, got back and mounted everything and the card survived the first session.

I was worried because its so humid here and the thing was solid ice when I left it last night lol.

Cant get ln2 until monday then its back to smashing boints with the monstah!!

Very nice! Is this thing volt modded by now and what OS did you use. My 03 score is a little low i think.

[DrNip]

Jesus, knocking the skin off the ball. Nice monster runs! You know you have over 2500 points just by yourself? Working on the member of the year I see. LOL

Straight retarded I tell you. So jealous of that 980 and 480. What OS you using? Tried Vista 32?

[Dentlord]

Danke, Danke :D

Card is not volt modded, that was with 1.125v

got a good score in 06 to move back to 2nd, and 05 wasnt much better, need more cpu for that.

Today moved me to 825 points and #2 in the USA :D (however briefly lol)

[FACE]

Sweeter than sugar-coated tits, Dent!

[ReverendMaynard]

^ this is true. Lot's of fight left in her yet D, would love to see what that effer will do on a RIIE and 8600 combo in 01 o_0

[Dentlord]

@ Hit and Nip, OS for the 03 and 05 runs was win7 32, 06 is xp, am3 was vista 64 (only because I didnt have 7 64 installed)

[HITandRUN]

So do you believe that 32bit is faster for 03 and 05?

[Dentlord]

So do you believe that 32bit is faster for 03 and 05?

I believe that 7 32 is the best for 03, card clocks are what counts.

For 05 it didnt really matter, cpu clock is what counts. (who would have thought that a 5.7ghz 980x would be holding me back lolol)

for 06 cpu score is so epic in xp that its the way to go.

Thanks for the pointers Dent. I'll try this out. :thumbsup:

[Dentlord]

One thing I forgot to mention about this card ... it has a CB and CBB just like a cpu, and very high.

CB is -65 and CBB is -55 (from hard restart) If its too cold it starts to run really slow in tests, and about -70 I lose video.

I got some more bumps today,

05 - 48684
Vantage - 27683
am3 - 398332

[Splave]

wow doesnt like cold huh? thats awesome for my ln2 supply

[Dentlord]

wow doesnt like cold huh? thats awesome for my ln2 supply

Yeah, it doesnt take much ln2 at all, -60 at only 1.125v is cake.

Once someone gets an AB extreme or volt mod for it, that may change.

[Patch]

Sometimes I can't believe how fast the LN2 disappears just doing a 980X and a single 5870. Those are DICE temps - woot!

[Splave]

they are dice temps but dont plan on dicing :) H&R and I were limited to 950mhz at 1.3v need the ln2 powah!

ah so its weak on am3...5870 has some kickers left then and some vantage too...

am i right?

[Dentlord]

Its not weak on am3 ... my cpu is (and I was using 32bit instead of 64)

It is strong in Vantage above 1100 core, which I need more volts for.

The thing it REALLY sucks for is 01.

[Hondacity]

core voltage adjustment on pwm not working?

[Dentlord]

Only software via AB, and that only goes to 1.125v

If you know of a hardmod or unlocked software, please share :D

[Gunslinger]

Holy performance update :eek:

I think both cards will be required to max globals in 3d ....

but Drivers will play a part I am sure and will Gigabyte unlock their retail SOC and the Retail Matrix is still a mystery....

Great am3 score!

I guess its time to sell the A batch 980 and get a B from the egg, mine is 300-400 mhz behind a good B batch.

Nothing was cooperating today, but I finally broke 400k in am3 (403112), need more cpu speed!!

Ran 05 at 1100 core but need more cpu speed!!!

I've got 3 tek 6.66's if someone wants to borrow them. I can ship tomorrow if needed.

[DrNip]

400k is a milestone in AM3. Can't wait until I break it. Nice going dent! What RAM speeds/timings were you running in AM3? OS?

[Splave]

so Im jamming in 06 at 835/1000 on sm3.0 test 1 in sli needs more volts?

NVM sli = air, forgot you only had one pot.

800 - 850 is normal OC on air, could just need to get chilly ;)

[Splave]

yeah actually its not the cards its my cpu fucking up. wouldnt even pass aq3 at 5.8ghz stock on the cards. 5.5ghz fails 05 rofl. Depoted and there was an assload of ice between the chip and the socket that little space not good lol. Letting it sit for a couple hours with a fan blowing on it and will try again.


rofl 33k 06 at 4ghz on the cpu lol

actually i think it is the cards. Going to take the cpu out of the equation and run it at 4.5ghz or son on water and clock the cards. Im sure though that the lesser the bottleneck the cpu is the harder the GPUs have to work and the lesser the clocks they will be stable at

[Dentlord]

Man I hope the cards arent duds :S

At least ONE of them has to be good, right?

alright tested on my lunch break, 980x at 3.8gh @ 0c

850/2000 at 1.125 = fail
825/2000 at 1.125 = fail
800/2000 at stock = fail
Stock = pass

Its the cards being unhappy, switched around the sli connector to the inside fingers no change, boosted ich up in steps from 1.3-1.45 and nf200 @ 1.3v no change. Changed slots on the bottom card no change.


what I have figured out = cards are being little bitch fingers. Going to try win7 197.44 drivers when I Get home. Any other suggestions?

takin stabs now, but what about the PSU? Might be beefy and all but it might not like the cards or vice versa.

[Gutterz]

This thread needs pics, I want to see some hardware porn.

[Splave]

thinking I figured it out, it hates clocking ram. Running single card at 860/1950 no problem in 03 soon as I put the ram to 2000 it gets flaky and stutters. Think evga gives the SC higher ram voltage than the vanilla? Might try a bios flash.

[Splave]

nvm 03 is just being a bitch, im 850/1700/2000 stable in 05

[Splave]

sooooooooooooooooooo I was going to cut my wrists lol


get this, vantage sli 850/1700/2000 passes no problem. 03 05 aq3 and 06 all have this glitchy pause then go, pause then go routine even with single card.

38k vantage though 5th for 2xgpu not too bad. sad sad cpu speed for cpu test though.

Curious, are you using a 3D optimized os or a straight getto standard os?

Also, you're clockspeeds could be warping the space/time fabric thing, might wanna check into that ;)

[Splave]

lol I decided fuck it leaving them at stock lol 50k 05 comming up

I think its something with the OC programs, because If I even open precision or ab and change the clocks even the slightest It will freeze in 3d

OS is tiny XP rev 3, and tiny win7 x32

might have a shit card

[Splave]

Im on wireless only comes free with my appartment, I think upload is like 5k cap or something rofl. I think brother OC or rev have it?

Anyways benched 10pm to 3:30am this morning till the ln2 was gone. just couldnt get the cards to bench at stock clocks. Everything is getting torn down, cards will be hammered one at a time on the stock coolers and cpu on water Im really dissapointed so far.

[Dentlord]

Wow Splave sorry to hear, I was ready for some WR shit with that cpu of yours!!

Did I just get insanely lucky with this Galaxy card or what is going on here??

Fingers crossed that you get it flying!

[FACE]

Hey Splave, just for poops and squirts you should try not only stock coolers, but a stock os as well.... ;) gotta find the missing link...

[Splave]

thanks guys

Yeah first thing going to reinstall XP clean, single card 197.41's and see what gives and what it will hit. Then I will try the other card in single. Im thinking the one is no good at all, IE a bit of artifacts at stock. Maybe poor vrm contact? temps are great though.

I noticed the GPU load during 3d benching is really sporadic and jutting like 80s-90%

[Splave]

Reinstalled win7 x32
Using 06 for stability checking
1st card does 835core 1040mem at stock .98v
850core passes sm2 stuff but fails in canyon Im just happy it isnt stuttering like it was

2nd card testing, more volts and sli results tomorrow. No ln2 till monday waaaaahhh~

[Patch]

Galaxy 480 arrived today and I'm hoping it's Dent's card's twin sister. Think I'll just skip the whole air crap and slap a MCW60 on it right off the bat...

Won't be able to play much this weekend as it's full of non-overclocking activities.....and no LN2 until next week. :ohcrap:

[Splave]

here is to 950 on water patch :) best of luck

Certainly not 950 on H2O.

Couldn't finish test 2 in Vantage @ 890.
Got through everything except the deep freeze fadout in 06 @ 900.

Stepped back to 875 and that completes Vantage. Arbitrarily set mem @ 1000 and didn't touch shaders. I'll play with them later.

were you monitoring gpu core voltage?

[punx223]

you can read the rear of the card, or in msi afterburner they have voltage monitoring.

[Dentlord]

Well, you were hoping for my cards twin, and 875 is where I maxed out before going cold, so looks like it might be :D

[GFDuke]

My vanilla maxes out at 875 and my SC maxes out at 900 both on air cooling. They get up to the high 70's fans at 80% when gaming on Crysis. 100% fan is just rediculously loud. LoL. SC will be cold Monday night.

[Dentlord]

Cool bro, gonna be good! I need a second one for sure .... all tapped out until I get more voltage or get a better cpu.

I am trying to be a responsible adult though and not spend any more money until I am working again.

Sorry Duke, it was Patch with a Galaxy hoping for my cards twin DOH

I really should learn to read at some point :laughing:

[Patch]

No, I wasn't (checking voltages). I'll check the card next time I fire it up.

I should have, considering the AB voltage problem with the 5870 Lightning initially...

Edit: Air/water isn't always an indication of how well it does cold. We'll find out soon enough when I get some cold juice. Looking forward to using some of my new colored eraser. Blue, red or yellow?....decisions, decisions.

[GFDuke]

Mix it up and call it the Patch!! LMAO

[Splave]

welllllll my one card stutters even at stock so its gotta get RMA'd going to toss the pot on the good one today. I fucking hate rmaing lol

Looking good Shannon. Cant wait to get into some GPU action myself.

[Kal-EL]

Nice assist there Shannon, keep er kumming :D

[GFDuke]

I worked on some 05 after work today. not a bad run. I think i need to go to a lower multi for this test and get my ram up. IDK at 5968 i should be getting a better score i think.

[Dentlord]

Dukie, try win7 32 bit for 03 and 05 ;)

[GFDuke]

Roger that. Gettin late wifes on my ass. I gotta put it away for tonight. I'll def try that tomorrow.

Some fermi action Finally, -70 it shits the bed, likes around -55 to -60. Best clock 1025/1025 anything else it shits the bed. The 03 was pretty good, 05 was def too low. Not sure what was up, maybe lod was bad for it? should be around 50k+

Will have to retry 05 and hit some 06 and vantage in the next couple days.

[Kal-EL]

Yer almost into the top 20 in the Overclockers League buddy, 06 will prolly rock out at those GPU clocks. Not sure whats going on with the 05 tho.

[Splave]

yeah pretty wonky huh? think it was the -15 lod? My canyon flight is low, maybe it had a hiccup or something stupid like that.

I will post up my 03 settings which are money tomorrow :)

Very nice! Now we need the volt mod for these cards to get more clocks out of them. ;)

[punx223]

05 doesnt like frogs... it likes teh red cards... pick up a 4890/4870, or possibly 5XXX series for 05

[Splave]

should be above this though atleast

Nice work Splave, finally getting somewhere with teh fermi action :D

I have a second Galaxy on the way, I was gonna get evga, but the clocks on my galaxy have been so good, I had to stick with em.

-3 LOD at the max brother, even going the other way to sharpen can help just like in AM3.

Have you ever tried setting the process to realtime? give it a shot.

[Splave]

oops meant +15, perfect for 03. Will try 05 without it as I imagine noone else is changing it.
Thanks guys :)

I actually meant +3 lol. It's early.

[Splave]

that it is that it is, I tryed +1 +3 +6 +10 +15 and it scaled all the way there but that was at lower cpu speed so Idk have to try it.

[Dentlord]

Well I squeezed a little more out of it today, took back silver in 03 and a small bump in 06

wooo awesome work Gduke

Awesome breaking 50k Duke! I have yet to do that, cant run above 5.8

[Splave]

duke what are you using in CP? we are running exactly the same cpu speed/mem/and uncore lol seperated at birth???

Only problem is im at 50k flat, what are you using for prerenderer etc. I see you have physx on too. Epic score bud!

[Patch]

Damn that's good stuff Duke. Nice chip and nice tweakage.

[GFDuke]

Tiny 7 and I'm using pre rendered 5. I forgot to turn off physic's. It was a mistake and i didn't notice until i was switched over to a different os that i had that on in my ss. I left everything that says application controlled to application controlled..... Single display...high performance and any thing that say's "on" i turned off. I also left threadded optimization at Auto. My card clocks are just a tad higher than yours also Splave buddy.

I'm struggling a bit in 06 and Vantage though. But i'll work on it again tonight. I think that i can get a higher 05 if i get my ram up over 1k. I've got some Super Talent ram coming i should be able to push well over that.



PS. Airgas can suck a big one. I got my replacement 160L from them on monday freaking thing is a pos like the last one. Again it came only 3/4 full. I've got about 40L left and here it is Wed and i only pulled off about 75 L from it altogether. Found a new LN2 supplier out of Poughkipsee, New York. CryoWeld (http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Cryo.Weld.Corporation.845-473-3357#follow_merchant) Getting a 230 liter cheaper than the 160 from Airgas. In a stainless Steel Dewar with wheels. Not the freking steel ones. Now thats worth celebrating!!!! Wooot!!! Only problem is i need a body builder (SPLAVE) to get the thing in the house. Dam i weigh about 135lbs soaking wet. This thing is gonna weight about 900lbs. The 160 at 660lbs was a feat for me and my buddy.

[Splave]

Thanks for the insight buddy! good luck with the dewar :)

[Dentlord]

Horrible session today, mainly my fault.

Trying to run at the very edge of the card's CB, I failed miserably, CB'd it in no less than 5 badass 03 runs pouring too soon/too much. I had about 3c range to keep it in or it would crash.

Having said that, I got a great score in 03 @ 1150 core ... 129395 :D

Ran out of ln2, some really costly crashes with a full cpu pot that had me wasting tons of it to get going again.

If I can pull my head out of my ass next time I should do better.

Sick score man. You'll get the hang of pushing it bleeding edge. Don't ever stop. Just get them pours fine tuned. Care to share a screenie?

Yeah it wasnt my intention to go after 03 today, but its the only thing I managed to get through with a good score today (with all my f'ups).

06 is next victim, I suck ballz in 05, cpu just wont cut it.

Vantage will kick some ass too, just gotta make everything go smoothly with only 25l or you are out fast.

[Chuchnit]

Oh man and you got some CPU mhz left!!

[Dentlord]

Oh man and you got some CPU mhz left!!

Yeah that 03 run was only 5720, it will go 5813 with no sweat, and at 33x 5900 should be doable. the thing is I just dont have enough ln2 to try and nail down more than one thing at a time, its frustrating as hell.

I am putting the cpu on phase for tomorrow and nail down single and sli clocks (assuming my second card gets here), then next time I will be able to focus on maxing cpu.

[Dentlord]

UPS can lick the hairiest part of my ass .....

I got home today and no card, which means one of two things:
1. My UPS driver is a retard (very possible)
2. He left it on the porch and someone stole it before I got home. (also very possible)

Bumming out now, I have to drive 30 minutes to the hub and bitch at them to find it.

[Splave]

oh man sorry buddy :( id let you borrow one of mine but its going back for rma

[Dentlord]

'sok, just had things mapped out for sli action .. might have to spend another 25l bashing sinlge card tonight instead.

[DrNip]

I believe UPS Ground has til 7:00pm to deliver Dent. Dunno what time your driver runs but mine is usually in the afternoon but one time didn't make it until 6 pm. I was all types of nervous and pissed too thinking he missed me or left it and it got stolen.

Turns out I am an impatient asshole :D

My wife told me the same thing Nip, and guess what .... it just showed up lol

they usually run before lunch here, so i panicked.

sweet. i know by now its already unboxed and torn apart.

Fired it up with the stock cooler long enough to flash bios and run furmark @ 800 core for a few minutes to make sure it wasnt a dud, then broke it down :D

I knew this was the prob. Always seems when I'm expecting something the UPS/FedEx/USPS man is running late. Any other day the dude is rolling thru the edition early.

Thanks for the tip Romulan. :)

[Splave]

holy nutsack what was the tip?

[GFDuke]

XP FTW in 06 2000 points. higher than WIN7 64 LMAO what a nice tip hey? If i didn't run out of juice and got my cpu up to 5.8 like you guys i'd fucking pwn this bench. With any luck my R3 will take care of that.

Something to ponder: I am running my 980x 1000nhz slower and scoring better on the cpu test than Dent, Splav and Rom. I think we should take a look at that.

[FACE]

Ram timings? Uncore stability?

Ok so it looks like my new card maxes out @ 1100 core (1.3v), but the memory will go to 2200, which is higher than my first card.

In sli I got 1100/1025, pretty respectable :D

No impressive scores to speak of, since the cpu was on SS @ 5ghz

I did get a 168k sli 03 score, which is worth some bointage. 05 and 06 were sucky from lack of cpu.

should be pretty strong once I put the f1 back on the cpu.


EDIT: Just realized that 168k was a global 5th in 03 LOL!!

Yeah I was surprised, today was purely feeling the new card out and testing sli ... didnt expect to get anything that was actually worth something.

3 pots is gonna be a major pita, I might have to recruit my wife to pour the cpu for me so I can watch the damned CB happy cards.

crap 5ghz!!!

easy numero uno bro!!!

grats on 5th with ss....ahhahah

Man, I wish I could get CPU clocks like you guys. We'll see how it does in a few days when I lower RAM ratio. It's just hard to give up 2000+ @ CL7. (2176 Mhz 7-7-7-20 for pifast). After everything else is tweaked, I'm definitely freezing this RAM.

Testing the eleet beta + precision.

Wow today was a waste of ln2 ... trying to pour 3 pots and just nothing cooperated.

Darn cpu wouldnt get through 06 for anything today, 05 was weak as hell, and 03 I already had a good score.

Ran out before I could run vantage. Just general suckiness.

Ended up with 49k 05 (2x gpu) and 171k 03, and nothing more.
