Sweet!! About time you did something :p What's up with the AQ3 score??? Hop on vent if you get time.

[Kal-EL]

AQ3 score looks wounded but the gpu isn't oc'd at all so :S

Anyhoots, here's my new personal best 3d06: 28447 @ 5156mhz qx9650

[Kal-EL]

Thats it for today. Just base gpu clocks and a decent cpu overclock.

[Chuchnit]

Sweet bro. Here's a little trick for Aquamark. It's really for ATI cards so the bench will even work, but I think it might help you anyway.

[Chuchnit]

Oh yeah, catch my 03 if you can :green3:

[Kal-EL]

Whats ur 03 score champ?

Far as the AQ3 fix, I dunno, looks pretty exclusive to the Red Team's issues with benchmarks and certain games. Why don't they just make drivers that work with everything?

[DrNip]

Holy Shit!!! 280 thousand somethin on aquamark!!! Very nice. Do some of those rivatuner tweaks that chucnit posted as it is easy and I gain a a few more hundred points on my 05 when I did it on that and my 8600 run. I haven't even checked the Bot yet, I bet you picked up some nice points. I'm glad to see us gettin back into our roots, OVERCLOCKIN!!!

[DrNip]

Well I see what they are gettin with those 285 now!!! :eek:

You got to get you a i7 bro as I can't believe how high they are scoring now and I got to get me some newer gpu's as we are getting molywhoped by them in aquamark! :D

Still nice runs though!

[Kal-EL]

These GTX 285's arn't overclocking well on air but that could be because they need re-timming or because they are already modestly overclocked ssc versions. Either way, if I can get them to clock up nicely, they should pwn some scores. 28k in 3dmark06 at stock gpu clocks aint too shabby either.

A single 9800gx2 breaks 300k in AQ3 and I'm really curious how this card will do in single mode and a nice overclock with the qx9650 @ 5333 mhz.

LN2 is a must do priority right now :D

[DrNip]

No that ain't to shabby as my 260's overclocked it 28k somethin. Going to save up for some 4890's I think.

[DrNip]

My bad I was confused. I thought the 280k somethin was 380k somethin. Don't ask me what I was thinking.

[DrNip]

Sweet Jebus! Is that a new high for you?

[Kal-EL]

For dice, yah, I flashed to the p08 bios and things settled down and got a bit more stable. I've been tweaking for a bit now, still testing the new bios out.

Ran a single card gtx285 AQ3 @5250 just to get something in:

[DrNip]

Sweet.

[Kal-EL]

These cards suck cat-ballz on air, they're getting packed up and shipped out to V2_V3 for volt mods. When they return they will be punished for their insulance on air.

Next up, vmodded 4870 :D

[Chuchnit]

Nice runs buddy. Keep pushing. Make sure to pwn up [p]'s little challenge too. I think I've got some backups that will/should last me a couple weeks or so. The only thing that worries me is a good clocking gtx285

[Jeffro64]

Really nice! My new rig is ordered and should be here mid week!

What are these vmods y'all keep talking about on the GPU's?

[Kal-EL]

Check out the vmod section for vmods bro. Dude, can't wait to see this new build you're into homie, git er dun :D

[Jeffro64]

ASAP brotha!! :D

I've seen those but still don't understand exactly what it does. Is it just a hard wire mod similar to what the EVGA voltage tuner does for their cards?

[Kal-EL]

Yes, in most cases you are simply lessening the resistance and increasing the voltage using a variable resistor. Soldering points are mapped out as well as voltage read points. I"m a noob myself at it. I'm sure V2_V3 is gonna put up a more detailed how to guide.

[Jeffro64]

I figured that is what it was....just wasn't sure. Sweet... might look into that some day.

[Kal-EL]

I'm gonna practice on a cheapo 50 bucks gpu so that if I kill it, its not that big of a dealio. I've got huge paws so its prolly harder for us bigger guys.

[Jeffro64]

I hear ya on that... Never been really good at stuff like that myself.

[Kal-EL]

8600gts blows chunks and the card tops out at 127k in AQ3
slapped in the 4870 for this run: 263232 STock GPU clocks and 5336mhz on teh qx9650, 790i Ultra SLI

[Kal-EL]

Well, that felt like a pretty good waste of DICE, lol :argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

[Rogue210]

Wow your set up looks nutz.....good luck w/the bench
