i5 660, 661, 670 performance
 

Interestingly enough, it seems the problems I am having with my i5 benching limits are standard policy. Check this out, it sure did make me feel better bout my skills (or lack of it lol):blink:

good old ES blowing retail out of the water, gotta love marketing.

gotta love how everyone of those guys who go through skids of ES chips are the first ones to say that they suck :thumbdown:

at least my batch number doesn't match any they listed :D

All the ES I5's & I7's I have tried sucked big time, some CB at the sight of a ice cube :(

:laughing::laughing:

No LHE for them than

Pushed real hard for good 01, no go
 

Today I went thru about 20 liters trying for a good 01 with the 670. I pulled one of the GTX280's out of the Warbird, and set it up with the new tech 5.0 6.66 gpu pot I just recieved from Vince. Although the card would go to 965MHz on the core with the 185.85's and the 670 was at 6.1GHz at 2:8 (ram @ 1800 6-7-6-18 4.8Gt), and I utilized lod tweaks and run orders, the scores were consistantly around 95k.
I am really starting to see why most peeps say that i5 sucks for 3d unless you are running 05 and have a chip that will do close to 7GHz.

Tomorrow back to the 920do/e760 ftw with the 280. I will put her thru all the moves and see if I can pick up some global and a bunch of team goodness.

Thought you guys might like to know.:laughing:

That 280 will RULE with the 920 behind it, trust me :D

I think you will have much better luck with a 920 in 01. It'll be interesting to see a comparison. :D
you have GTX 280 power it sounds like... Going to 06 and 05 if you havn't already?
