Aquamark3 500k possible with Fermi?

my opinion yesssss

what do you think?

[Witchdoctor]

Maybe Al with a way over the top card ......

Retail would be a stretch unless you had the resorces to bin one say out of a hundred ?

and your CPU would have to roll at 6.8 .....

O yea need some cas 6 goodness to go with it

Next gen from nV it may be more viable ...

Honda I'd venture to say we won't see 500k until the next refresh, but we'll probably get very close with some freakish cards.

5.8ghz only helped 400k

6.5ghz is doable when the L3 cache is upto the task...

the cards were being benched 800mhz core....make it 1200mhz...thats 50% increase...

i forget the formula for am3.....maybe somebody has the info..cpu + gpu = am3score?

CPU and GPU score have nothing to do with am3. It's the average framerate through the whole bench. That's how OPB got busted

I think maybe 480-485 k at the most for now.

Typo bro 6.8 .................. :blink:

[Hondacity]

6.8 retail is ummmm not possible with ln2 maybe with lhe

6.5ghz is doable with Ln2...just look at benchbro's score....his cpu is retail...

but if he pushes his gtx 480 to around 1200 ........or 1400...we'll see....the 500k just my imo...

[Witchdoctor]

Am seems to dig tight mem and high CPU

GPU alone may not get there, Al could shed some light on this

He pwns AM

I think with 6.8ghz i7 someone using the dominator ln2 rampot with some stupid 2200 cas 6 action could get pretty damn close.

I think with Fermi you can bench stock cooler and still have your procie and mem be the bottleneck. (He would see a gain with more gpu speed though at ridiculous 6.6. where we are around 6.2ghz no so much)

Would be interested to see when it stops scaling.

Was at 6.1ghz 1900 ca6, and the card at 1300/1200 was scoring the same at 1370/1200. With fermi on stock cooler with mild overclock 850/1100 I hit 420ks too :) Uncore was low for me too at 4.3ghz

AQ3 in order of importance imo
CPU mhz
Ram fast and tight
Uncore
Gpu speed

Thanks for the insight Splig ......

Will be workin in that order opon my return
