I just hate running out of LN2, it takes a week for my new LN2 tanks to get delivered :(

its not all for this competition, Im going to be benching the hell out of some new CPU's :)

So what is the cost point for this delivery and where are you getting it from. I assume its Airgas? :thumbsup:

[V2-V3]

So what is the cost point for this delivery and where are you getting it from. I assume its Airgas? :thumbsup:


I get it from a local company by the name of "Oxarc" its a welding and pressurized gas supply company.

the LN2 delivered costs me about $1.00 per liter

but im buying double what i normally order so im not sure what its going to cost me until i get the delivery invoice :(

That’s a nice price! I usually fill up my 20L Dewar for $20-$30 depends on the mood of the dude. I mean ist cheap but it goes a little on my nerves that he is changing the price on me. :morpheus: :blink:

[punx223]

praxair sometimes has a good price if you have one local, and being such a large company usually will cut good deals.... now i just need a dewar dammit

I used to pay $115.00 for a 30L dewar...... $20-$30 sounds like a dream for such a small quantity!

[hey]

pufff.. my system sucks in case of clocks,,, i hated them..:Dizzy: :thumbdown: for now i threw them out :)

[crustytheclown]

You guys have posted some great scores here.Especially for dual gpu (295Gtx that is) your score are exceptional

[Chuchnit]

Thank you crusty and welcome to the forum. Hopefully I can put up some descent scores for the single card peeps. 88k isn't too bad for i7, but I gotta strap up the RE for some real scores.

[HITandRUN]

Yeah the cheapest he ever charged me was $16 bucks for 20L which was a deal! I was like doood I'll be back for more tomorrow! He He! :D :eek:

[Josifek]

Wohooo i finally have bought some Crucial Ballistix sticks... hope i make in time to post some results... :D

[hey]

yes, lets see 91k from you dino :D

it is about the same here in Turkiye :good: 20-30 would be awesome :D

Go go go dinos :D May the voltage be pure and the clocks high :thumbsup:

[GeorgeStorm]

Thought I might give this a go this weekend but have had driver issues.
Will see if I can work them out during the week for another go next weekend.

[Neuromancer]

doesn't 80l last for a good 12 hour sesh?

If that is true, then all I can think of is

4x GPU pots,
1xCPU pot.
1x shotglass.

480/6=80L per pot for one 12 hour session :thumbsup:

Now that is extreme!

[Buckeye]

I had my 280gtx running on LN2 and hit 980 - 990 core clock and running 01 with a score of almost 85K, then after a bucnh of runs and ready to screen shot it all I went crap, nature is over 1200FPS by 58 points.

So this noob has to learn how to run this bench the correct way :)

But you guys with newer cards are gonna kill me anyway, but its the attempt and bench that counts :)

Good luck Dino's, not that you need it ;)

Interesting. I never played mark01 and i7 together but will test this out this coming week with my 975.

Hey Kal-EL

Can you tell me the hard dead line for this comp please.

It says

and run about a month ending on Sunday, July 12, 2009-ish


Is that July 12, 12pm (mindnight) or July 12, 00:01 (first thing in the morning)

What time zone, CST ?

Also it says "about" and "ish" will this be the end date, or is it going to run longer ?

I ask as I'd like to post a singe gpu score, but have alot on this week, but will find the time if I must, but if thats not a hard deadline, I'll hold off.
I'm not asking you to move it for me, just don't want to be running around this week, just to find it goes for a week longer and there was no need for the rush.

I take it you haven't done the single card runs yet? If you have please post them. I have no competition and therefore no motivation to bench the RE.

[punx223]

sorry guys.... both cards ate shit on me.... i got one out for RMA and hopefully it will be back in time to still compete a lil

[Chuchnit]

you think i plan on staying sidelined?? good luck!!! im coming for you john, i gota friend that says i can borrow his gpu DICE pots.... so if i get that lined up and both cards... i will be shooting for 1000 gpu mhz ;)

[dinos22]

lol owned hehehe

[Vivi]

ohell :D.

thats what i love about these 88gts's, 1050 dice is what the weaker cards get ;p

[Deanzo]

None yet, but if you want motivation, if I find the time (and I don't kill something like last time) I'll blow 89K easy.

Yes, Deanzo, I'm glad you noticed the "ish" on the deadline. I purposefully left it as "ish" in the event more than a few overclockers ran into issues that would require more time for hardware aquisistion/repair/rma or just life interuptus. We're now a full week from the 12th and this is where the deadline would get firmed up.

If I recieve a pm from each of the top spot holders for Dual and Single card categories requesting or agreeing to push the Deadline back a week and agreement from second place holders, I'll push the deadline back a week.

Those wanting to push back the deadline should garner support from the place holders thru private messages. If I don't recieve pm's from 1st & 2nd place holders within the next 24 hours, the deadline will be set in stone @
July 12, 2009, 23:59 hours, Hawaii Time.

[punx223]

well fellas in the spirit of fair play I will not ask for it to be extended as i knew the deadline when she was posted, and I do not expect for the world to spin another direction for me lol.

but hey if you push it back.... theres a chance I may get my card back to get back in the game.... even if its only single card

[hey]

yess, here again lets take the guesses on single and multi categoriess..who will win ?? red ?? green??? and with what points??

[Chuchnit]

I say I hold the top spot until 11:59pm Hawaii time with gtx285. At 11:59:59 I will lose the top spot with a 89800 score by someone who has been holding out. :p

Dual card setup I say is team green all the way unless dinos stole Hirpo's vga maximizer :eek:

Of course your 4th or 5th best ;). I just want somebody to post a big single card score so I can see what my goal is. The dual card comp has already exceeded the scores for vinces competition. :eek: I take it those aren't a good reference for single card either.

nope i didnt mean i dont see any challenge on this competition, i meaned no scores are updating on the top so no challenge for anyone.. i didnt and cant say scores are not challenging and i dont see that as challenge or sth..

english is not my native so i dont wanna be understood false :(

[Chuchnit]

Well we had a few people bail after the big dual card scores were posted. 2Chesapeakes is away from home so he can't post scores to compete, and I guess everyone else is either having troubles matching the scores, or just don't have the time. Just a guess. I know I'm having trouble finding time to bench s775 for this, but it will be done. I will also post up my best score from the first session to hopefully motivate people with a big enough single card score to be worth trying to beat.

[DrNip]

Conveniently I don't have any RAM still or else I would be up in it. :(

My 775 boards are crap so i'm using my i7 rig.... can't get a second card on it cause of the way the board is layed out and how the back support rod on the tech station is in the way, and I don't have a short SLI bridge to put them side by side using the second slot. Besides.... with some of these guy's using pots on their cards for cooling I don't stand a chance anyways LOL... but i'm still trying!

Actually if your 790i will play nice, you could put up some very respectable scores, but you are fsb limited with your quad. Plus with the cpu limit, you can get really close to the big boys with the perfect run.

[Jeffro64]

LOL.... Not with either of my 790i's bud, ain't happening. :D

[Vivi]

but in your sig it says your Q9770 is overclocked to 4.27? isnt that near enough to the 4.2 limit :)?

[Jeffro64]

Oh.... that's my desktop rig, i'm benching on an i7.

[Chuchnit]

Can you spare a little time for msn tonight? I'll see if I can't talk you through a run. Maybe then you will feel the motivation to start kicking some ass :D

[Jeffro64]

Sure.... Just installed my second 280, I found a flexable bridge. But for some reason i'm getting worse scores with two cards than I did with one.... and thats with the same OC settings and LOD tweaks and all.

[punx223]

lol welcome to the world of 01....

do me a favor.... run each card one by one.... and see if one scores less than the other jeff

[Jeffro64]

Thats what I was thinking about doing.... I still have another 280 to try out also. I was wondering if I might have had a bad card when they were all three in my desktop because of performance issues. I just always felt like I should have been getting more out of them.

Try them one by one... see if one signifigantly underperforms

[Mean Machine]

Anybody say DDR3 @ 1920MHz 6-5-5-15? :D

Well.... thats not the problem. They both are really close... thank gawd!

[Mean Machine]

Omg bro....elpida chip i assume?

No, not Elpidas. And to be honest, they go a bit further than that, but I can't run any more than 1920MHz in the comp, due to the 600x7 restriction.

Wow. I want some....

[Chuchnit]

Everybody give a big woot to Jeffro! He just posted his new personal best tonight!! For a LC contest anyway. Hopefully we can figure out his SLI issue and get that score closer to a 9 in the front.

[Jeffro64]

I hope so LOL!

[punx223]

great job jeffro..... what drivers you running?

[Chuchnit]

Go look at his screenie :p

Edit: I am wondering if those are the best for SLI runs though. The scaling seems to be off, but I got a couple more things for him to try too.

[Vivi]

nice one jeffness!

next?!!
omw i love this forum :D

[Gunslinger]

I'm ready for the next one, 3DM01 is little one sided in my opinion. But it was fun leaning the ins and outs. Big props to Vivi sharing the tweaks and such. Big props to Supes for taking the initiative to set this and all the contests up. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the props guy's... and thanks to Chucky for some more help on this! Who would have thought there was soooooo much to this LMAO!

Hey punx... now using 182.50 for the drivers.

[limpkorn]

Man it's not even over yet and you guys giving up?! LOL

Oh well I guess I should have borrowed my bro's core 2 duo for this one, but sheesh the hassle of moving my watercooled GTX280's in to his rig no no no! I'll just have to wait for the next one and see what's up supes sleeves!

[DrNip]

I gave up not by choice but by hardware blow outs. I'll be damned if I sit on the sidelines for the next challenge.

[limpkorn]

I can't wait until the next challange either. It would be nice to win, but frankly I don't care if I don't. Had a lot of fun with 3dmark01 and playing along with you guys.

I still have a bit more to squeeze out of 3dmark01 I think even with my crummy core i7 :taunt: so hopefully I can end up within the top 5 we'll see I guess.

[Deanzo]

i wish i could!

I hear that, benching didn't go well for me last night, try and try, just couldn't get a good CL, I'd get to about the 30 run mark and it would lock up, and I'd have to re-boot and start over.

I had one run with a killer CH and LH (for a GTX-XXX card that is) yet CL was slow, and I just couldn't get the bugged run, I did over 20 trys on that one before it locked up :thumbdown:

God knows if I'll get any time to have another go at it.

[Vivi]

same man, i hate it when the bug run doesnt want to come. system too stable? :D

[2chesapeakes]

Looks like I will be pissing off the wife this weekend. Now how does hawiian time translate to EST. I want to be sure I get my runs in in time. This sucks i am on the road all week and the HW is sitting idle.

[Buckeye]

I believe the time dif is 6 hours.

It's 3 hours for me on the west coast. That is when it's 3:00pm it's 12:00 noon in Hawaii.

[Rogue210]

I do believe that in Hawaii we are 6 hours behind the east coast and 3 hours behind on the west....

I think you'll find whoever see the sun first each day, is the most special :D

Hey, hey, hey, it's all about the WEST COAST!


:club:

I think that this time out, it'll be all about the Hawaiian Sun :good:

[Vivi]

epic!

and good idea, more posts for next comp.

[Kal-EL]

93k changes the position of 1st place in the multi-gpu category. Will there be a late entry or a re-contendership here before the 12th?????

Vivi is now ahead of the multi-gpu setups.

[Vivi]

i will fight to get another 790i ^_^

[2chesapeakes]

Now I will be scrambling to find the magic potion to beat 93K in dual card or 88K in single card when I get home instead of having saved runs I can post. Drinking and benching is good fun however I can't understand my notes and the stuff I didn't write down I can't remember. Well at the end of the day I learned more about 01 than I thought possible.

[punx223]

wow... good luck jeff.... i really hope you can jump in and own. but im sidelined :blush: win it for the gladiators :thumbsup:

[Vivi]

just want to let you single card people know that crusty the clown is in the house.

this was his score over at KP's comp on XS ;)

[Deanzo]

Nice one Goddy,

And very happy to see you push 93K, mine was my best, the GTX295 has nothing more to give unless new drivers come out to help CH, which suck soo bad right now.

[Vivi]

thats true, its a sad story :/, only 9800gx2's and the system i have can competitively compete here. i have no idea on CF 4870's tho?

[Deux]

In my experience nature scales worse on 4870s than it does on G92 cards when moving to multi-gpu setups and I suspect ATI will have a tough time coming close to the cap. I'll see if I can dig up my runs where I tested it. The situation could have changed and may be different subzero, I tested 8800 GT sli+173.67 vs 4870 512 CF+Cat 8.12(IIRC).

Would definitely like to see someone give it a shot with subzero 4870 CF though :)

Keep pushing it everyone :thumbsup:

[3oh6]

yeah, i am killing myself with CH and the GTX 295. thinking of picking up another GTX 260 just to run SLI for multi card with older drivers.

[Vivi]

on second thought.

lol

check this

http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=783945

[dinos22]

that was my plan but forget about nature

i will still give it a shot but i dont think i'll get anywhere near nature cap with 4.2Ghz with the chip

[Kal-EL]

Meh, at least post it up for nastalgia sake :D

Then we can peep what the deal is between all these cards.

[Deux]

Crazy results from Hipro, doubt 1400 nature is doable with 4200 on the CPU though.

Best of luck with the 4870s Dino :)

[Jeffro64]

Hey Soups... It's not much of an update, just a few points more but I posted a new score for ya to update. Sheesh.... It won't even move me up LOL!

With a 9800GX2 I could pass your score, it would still need to be subzero to get the clocks for N, I have the pot for it, but no card.
Last time I went sub zero on a GX2 I killed it, I also think both GX2's kicked it at the end of Vince's comp.

Won't help, all GTX-XXX cards have this issue.
I've tried all the old drivers already.

[3oh6]

yeah, i figured as much. i have given up on that quest and will just grab another 260 tomorrow if i can find one locally. might also dust off the old 790i and see if it is still up for 600x7 1090MHz 8-7-6 action :D

[Chuchnit]

Great score Crio! I got one coming back at ya when I get off work. Its not much, but I haven't had any time to play this on s775 yet. Hopefully I can keep pace with you.

As Hipro would say "That is my pot!" :p

So what are you gonna pull out? 90.5? 91k? :D

It's fun, but getting very intense. I feel like I am always one step behind somebody of the caliber of crio. I think I got my tweaks and order down. Now I just gotta fine tune the system and find a damn IDE drive for some high pcie freq. I have benched at 120mhz on a sata drive before though. That's from boot.

[Gunslinger]

You could go with a cheap 32GB SSD. I'm using a couple of Super Talent drives for my stuff. So far, they seem uneffected by 130MHz on pci-e

[Chuchnit]

Very nice. SSD's are outa my league right now though with the new baby and all.

:clapping:Wow, the single card cat is heating up pretty damn well. Great work guys and good competitive "nature" going on. SKinning the cat's ass pretty well, if yah know what I mean.:taunt:

Any words from the multi-gpu junkies?:band2:

Damn sandbaggers! Chuchnit is feelin to comfy up there!

Sorry guy's.... I can't seem to get out of the 85's, but i'm still trying!

[Chuchnit]

Damn sandbaggers! Chuchnit is feelin to comfy up there!

Sorry buddy, but when crio wakes up, my reign at the top might be over. That don't mean I won't be benching tonight through Saturday morning. :D

[DrNip]

Well your doin better than me as I'm rollin on flats.

[Chuchnit]

What kills you more than your 260's is i7. In all honesty my best i7 score wasn't 88007. It was 88143, but that was all she had. Maybe it had a little more with lower RTL's, but I wasn't waisting my time.

[Mean Machine]

Did a few runs today... No better than 92.5k, but there's a Sunday as well. :)

google : "hawaii time"

it will give u their current realtime!

my goal is to win this thing with i7...if i get the Nature numbers where they need to be, it should be interesting. i am just not sure the cards have enough left in them to get nature up to the limits.

[Chuchnit]

Well i7 took a top spot on K|ngp|n's contest. Granted he was on a SS running 5040mhz uncore

[DrNip]

If I had 2- pots for my 260's as well as some RAM I feel I might have a chance.

[Chuchnit]

You can take it since you can push the uncore on the SS. Not to mention your ram will for sure be dialed in to the max. :thumbsup:

[3oh6]

yeah but even with high uncore i still need to get Nature up there. i am working with a GTX 260 and it is going to have to get cold to touch you guys up at 89K with this i7 setup. on air with the GPU i am in the 88.5K range...but Nature has plenty of room before 1200FPS cool2

[Chuchnit]

Oh I'm sure. Lemme guess.... nature around 1040-1075?

[Mean Machine]

mean machine, was that on ln2?

100% air. :D

[Chuchnit]

Very Nice crio :D i think you got my backup by 3 points. I'll have to check when I get off. No worries though. I had a much better run going until nature crashed :(

I have no idea, how he got his nature soo high in Vince's comp (and with only one card).

With two cards (2 X GTX260's) I can't push past 1140fps, and thats with both cards running 1006/2016/1206.



Whats your best on two GTX260's ?

[3oh6]

Oh I'm sure. Lemme guess.... nature around 1040-1075?

ahhh crap, that doesn't boad well for me in my quest. i haven't ran two cards yet, still need to get my hands on a second one as i had planned. that might not work out so well either. might be time to warm up the old RE or 790i...i was really hoping to avoid that.

any one had an issue when overclocking the GTX 280 your score decreases in 3DMark 2001?

if i increase my clocks above stock (even 25mhz) my score drops about 10K points

heat is not an issue temps are 45c load 30c idle and im using a 1300W PSU

I have used EVGA precision tweaker and Rivatuner to OC and I have the same Issue

its just struggling to keep the clocks you gave it.

Took it to 990 core and went over in Nature LOL

I did not use Riva except for the LOD tweak, all Ocing was done with the EVGA Precision and the EVGA vmod tool.

or something else is wrong

im running at stock clocks (648MHz Core)
and if i raise the core at all even 1mhz i loost 10K points in 3D Mark 2001

If i clock my ram from 1100MHz up to 1375MHz (stock 648MHz Core) I have no problems and i gain about 3k points in 2001

[Chuchnit]

What drivers?

[Chuchnit]

Got my best score uploaded. 13 points behind and crio hasn't even shown his good CL run. I'll be back on top tomorrow to fish it out ;)

What drivers?

im using the Nvidia 186.18 drivers

[punx223]

im using the Nvidia 186.18 drivers

try 182.50 travis

you mean Rampage extreme :p

listen if you overdo cooling on nvidia they will start to dramatically slow down

so ease up on the temps

[crustytheclown]

I've heard that some GT200 65nm cores had a very low CB (-20°C), could that be the cause of it?

[punx223]

I've heard that some GT200 65nm cores had a very low CB (-20°C), could that be the cause of it?

thats not true i have seen many of the 65nm cards run at -170C for instance at the toms hardware us event capt. planet had his 280 at -170C to -190C IIRC

[dinos22]

wanna know what my bet is :D

yes i mean Rampage Extreme, my bad

I was only running -20c to +20c on the GPU and tested all temps between and beyond with no effect on performance for clocking, i think it has to be the drivers :(

hahaha i laughed when i saw your classified ship out travis as i looked at your name on the list and jake was like you know him, and I just started laughing... ill see if I can get him to forward it to ya

[Vivi]

could be a missmount on your pot aswel. then load = death, but idle = -20

nice avatar jeffo, see you've moved on :D

[Vivi]

WOW.
guys..
Check this out,

a local guy at our low clock challenges just did this score.

The final score would be uhm.. insane. This guy i promise you isnt cheating, i know him personally and he wouldnt even dare it, he doesnt even know how to clock properly yet, but he is doing amazingly well :). it says "7 gametests" so it looks like he did a straight run?

dang.

[crustytheclown]

Hmm, that's a nice score for a straight run. This setup has a lot more to offer...!

[crio]

The contest is up for how much more?How many hours?

[Kal-EL]

Roughly 24+21 hours and 45 minutes remaining from the time of this post.

[Kal-EL]

Timestamp updated, you have until 1159 pm on Sunday, July 12, 2009. That about a day and 21 hours from now.

[crio]

That's a lot of time for me to improve my score.But ATi guys have the upper hend here.

[Vivi]

yep, ati will kill 903XX+ easy if they want to and with a pot at stake who woulndt enter with winning hardware :?

[dinos22]

Vivi
i've done a bit of benching on ATI in the previous comp

i am having a really hard time believing that was done at 4.2GHz particularly if straight run :S

[crio]

I am at my parents village now....No more tests for me.Wish i had a 4870-4890 under ln2 for tests.....

[Vivi]

Vivi

i am having a really hard time believing that was done at 4.2GHz particularly if straight run :S

believe ya 100% man, it couldnt be possible,

but, if its a mistake its probly a broken multi or something, Cheat is not a factor here when im talking about the user.

Which test in particular is freakishly high tho?

x38 DQ6 gb might have some freakish reaction with one of the tests, we've all only used RE, there might be some blockage factor on it.

COMPARISON: ok i just compared his results with Crusty's over at XS comp. Crusties Car low is 1100, this guy is at 1171. the other tests scale closely the same, crusties car high is higher than this user. This user's drago is abit higher but otherwise they "look" in order, if it were a straight (all 7 tests) run at higher CPU speed all the tests would be gradually higher. but some are equal and lower and higher than crusties, so im gonna ask the guy to run again and see what happens (at different cpu multi). Otherwise the bugging DQ6 GB is the board to run on! no ? :).

no setfsb was used aswel

[DrNip]

WOW!!! Nice run crusty!

nah for that u need the nb ln2'ed

Great score guys! I'm out since all my hardware is either on the way back from RMA or not really good enough for a top spot. :thumbdown: I will still bench it next week to see if I can beat some of the scores. cool2

The guy over at our lowclock would get 92000 on single 4890 if he got 1200 nature. very strange

he keeps getting 1177 car low.

He's using some 8.6 driver he said came with card, dont know why its working on a 4890, will check it! He is legit tho :? so i will see whats up..

[Chuchnit]

any board can do pl8 once the cas is on 6 ;)

Really? I'm running PL8 960mhz 7-6-6-18 1t with the shitty waterblock on the nb still on air. Yet my board hates anything other than 333 strap 5:8 divider.

8.6 are early alpha drivers supplied to the channel partners of ATI for the release of the 4890, they work well i must say, but can be buggy at times.

yea but this guy is getting constant 1177 car lows :?.

i just finished my first session with single card and if i could get 1200 nature i too would be hitting 92000...pretty much on the nose, if i could get 1200 nature :argh:

single GTX260 is running out of gas much over 1000MHz at 1.25v and any higher in volts gets me a pretty little screen full of pixelated colors...AKA OCP. i might have to really dial down the OCP mod. i didn't have leads connected to the mod and a couple blind turns didn't gain anything so i played on the side of caution and just took what i could. next session i will mess with OCP a little more. here are a couple photos from this afternoon...

the good news is this card has no problem benching at -135C, hung around -120C most of the session as colder didn't help much but -140C through Nature wasn't a problem, no special BIOS, just whatever came on the card :thumbsup:

[HITandRUN]

Thats some nice cold for a GPU! :thumbsup:

[V2-V3]

very nice insulation there!

cant wait to see some results!

[Deanzo]

Try as I may, GTX260 SLI on X58 sucks sooo bad for this (well in N anyhow)

Jody, what N fps are you hitting with one card ?




Oh, and here's my setup.

i7 975 / 2 X GTX260's / Asus RE2 / Blade 2000 Cas7
F1 EE / Tek9 3.0 / Tek9 4.0

yeah, i don't know if NVIDIA/X58 is going to be enough to take the single card either. i've got some decent scores but the N not being maxed has me worried...getting them off the IDE drive that doesn't want to click on either is another worry, but it is in the freezer now so i should be able to get them off later today :thumbsup:

with the single 260 (216SP) at 1000/2000/1152 i could pull 1125~1140 if i remember right in N depending on system settings (memory/uncore). i could tickle 1160 with higher GPU clocks when i could get it to run but OCP is kicking my rump at anything over 1.25v.

Yeah the only thing I have is a i7 975 but this is just not going to cut for the top I think! :morpheus:

[dinos22]

i got the card running again after drying
but after about
10 minutes
started fucking up again

i have to see what the deal is with insulation on that card

i could do 1100/1122 in Xfire in nature

[Deanzo]

Mmmm, thats kind of what I feel I can get with two cards, tomorrow night I think I try one card to see what it does.
Not so much for this comp, but I'd like to know.

[Deanzo]

What fps did you get with both cards in nature Dino ?

[dinos22]

~This is the final 24hours of the race for 3Dmarks~

Contestants get your scores in early or make sure you've got one helluva back up stashed, this is the final stretch. The leaderboard will be updated periodically during the day. GOOD LUCK and God's Marks!!!!!!!!!!!


Supes cool2

[Deanzo]

In fact I do, thats in keeping with what I'm seeing with the two 260's.


Have you tried with one card ?
If so, does it drop at all ?

[Vivi]

[dinos22]

have a look at these FPS with stock clocks on cards ....... ~mid-800 CAS7 ram/ low 4K nb etc > CPU at 4189MHz

:D

imagine 5GHz NB and some 1000+ CL7 eeek

we're talking 97K somewhere EEEK lol

[Buckeye]

Good Luck Everyone !!

Xfire 4870s

sick sick FPS :D

but you would need about 1400 core to get nature cap ROFL

[Chuchnit]

@Chucnit
I've got more more and more .Unfortunetely ATi guys own as...


Ya ya ya, you ain't go much more unless you vmodded your card and/or went sub-zero. The only thing I see that you have is about 2xx more points when you hit 1118-1123 for CL :good:


3h06 - way to push i7 buddy! Very very nice score. Mad props for getting that nature up. I would LOVE to know how you did that.

[Deanzo]

@ crustytheclown, killer score with the GX2 :thumbsup:


But how did you get it to run at the speeds needed on air ?
I used to have two of those cards (went sub zero with them as well) even voltmodded I could never bench at 800 on the core unless I went sub zero.
