Well the 9800 pro looks good for over 7.5k so far

[toofast]

Roll on Canterwood 8k is a coming ;)

547 core :eek:

[Roop]

could you post a sandra ram bandwidth please? 4000mhz and high fsbs would give great bandwidth in a nice granite bay board.

I can show you 53xx/53xx sis mem bandwidth if you like my own too ;) @ 215fsb

[mkleingeld]

That entry means my score is relegated to page 2 :(

And with the winter being gone there isn't much I can do about it.

Wish I had a better paying job...

[Intronic15]

Damn that's a very nice score and core, i'm getting the 9800 pro in may too.. :)

[WildKard]

Im waiting on the 256mb version, hopefully itll be faster clock for clock, and clock higher than the 128mb version...good things come to those who wait :) im hoping waiting will make it easier for me to get high on the ORB :D

[FUGGER]

OMG scores removed?? whats up with that?

[faruquehabib]

yes those sound impressive, but im gonna wait for at least the 9900 pro, seeing as i just bought a 9700 pro. by then the athlon 64 will be reasonable in price as well hehe

[macci]

Got mine today too. Out of the box it did like 460ish/375ish. Mounted a P4 retail HSF on GPU and upped the voltages a bit and now it has made a 3DMark03 run at 502/396 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=606424) so far. 100% aircooled :) Gotta try again soon.
Must break 7k w/ aircooled XP1700 and R9800Pro :D

[FUGGER]

Wierd, some scores were not showing up this morning.

Im updating too =)

Amen brother....:toast:

[PiLsY]

The only thing Im worried about for the 256mb version is that as we all know higher density memory chips dont usually overclock as well as the lower density chips.

DDR1 has had a long time to mature as a build process though so hopefully I'll be wrong :).

Macci - gotta love those P4 retail heatsinks for gfx cooling ;). Been using them since the GF4 came out :D.

PiLsY.

I am planning to buy a hercules 9800 pro in juni.
hope the are a bit cheaper than, 485 euro is a lot of money for gpu.
what wiill the do on h20, something like 525?

Shame I cant afford a 9800 :(

[macci]

D updated his score.. thats why the old link wont work anymore..

new one:

[CCW]

cheers :D

[macci]

Using my R404 CPU cooler on GPU (the original R404 GPU cooler is still broken..) managed to run it at 549MHz core 405MHz mem. Got 7370 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=611376)Marks w/ the little aircooled xp1700+8rda rig :D

The GPU cooling wasn't very optimal cos I had to add a thick (way too thick for this purpose) copperplate between the evap and GPU in order to make the thing fit there. So I think that it has some extra MHz left :)

Will put the card into the 4G+ P4 rig in the coming days and try to get a real score. Should give some 200-300Marks extra (GT1 is around 30-35FPS faster and 1FPS=7.3Marks..).

[JCviggen]

*kicks his GF2 MX-400 and takes some prozac*


I wanna plaaayyyyy :(

[macci]

Less than 100Marks to go :D
7444 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=611680) <-- still w/ aircooled 2470MHz XP1700 :D

JC, I bet you do :) These cards are awesome. Lets hope that you somehow get one cos its not fun to play all alone :D

[CCW]

sorry to go off topic...
JC - how come syou only have an MX400, doesnt that slightly bottneck your 1700+ @ 3GHz? :D

[Xenogias]

Macci, how did you get your ram so high? Is there a memory vmod too?

[macci]

There are more than one memory vmod ;) also some fresh air and ramsinks

[JCviggen]

just a bit ;)

its all i can afford, and I can still play racing games at 1024x786 @ 16 bit with this...

[Xenogias]

I was to understand that the vgpu mod was the same as the r9700p, does that mean, the vddq, cddr, and vref mods are the same as well? Are the default voltages equal too?

[STEvil]

hehe JC.. i'm in the same boat until my Ti4400 arrives... darn bad 9500 8-/

Using GF1 DDR 32mb for now, lol.

[tombman]

heh maccy, can you post screenshots of ALL volt mods you did to your card together with shots of ALL volt messure points?

[sysfailur]

Oh I don't wanna hear it! You know what graphics card I'm using right now?

AN 8MB Matrox G200 PCI!!!!!!!!! It's disgusting! :P

[WildKard]

That is really unfortunate sysfailure! Atleast I had a 8500 to fall back on when i murdered my 9700 pro

[macci]

tombman, yes I could if I just had a digicam available. And anyways the mods are pretty much excatly identical to R9700 rev 3.0.

[sysfailur]

HAHAHAH WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9800 PRO ORDERED ON NEWEGG!!!!!!!

STILL IN STOCK!


I was waiting to say anything so you leechers wouldn't buy one before me :P

GO GET EM!

I ordered it overnight, so I'll take some digicam pictures tommorow when I get it.

[CCW]

Im running a GF4 MX440, this thing bottlenecks me to 7K 2001 3DMarks :(

[macci]

Thought that I'd go and try to hit 7.5k w/ this XP1700 rig using my old waterchiller cooling on CPU and NB.
http://www.solidhardware.com/macci/pics/nestesailio.jpg
It has usually hit coolant temps of like -10..-15C and -20C if I'd let it run long enough without any load. Haven't used it in a while and wasn't sure if it would even work at all (it has been outdoors in the cold whole winter etc.). Added some more antifreeze to the tank and turned it on a while ago and just went to check the temps...-33C!! w00t! :D Pretty damn sweet temps considering that its some damn old R12 compressor w/ passive cooled condenser. Gotta set up some watercooling gear on this XP1700 thingy now. It might hit some pretty nice speeds :)

[macci]

Change in plans...gotta do it w/ 1.6A :D

did some testin and found out that its just not possible to get enough points in GT1 w/ the XP1700 rig. So i'll try w/ 1.6A instead. and if that wont work its time unleash the 3.06Gigger =)

[tombman]

do you have a link where all mods are pictured together with the messure points? i can only find the vcore messure point, but i need all volt and messure points...HELP :D

[WxChaser]

What do you guys recommend as a replacement heat sink/fan combo on the 9800 (air cooling)? I'm not really too happy with the stock ATI fan on mine (took it off today to clean and reapply the TIM - the damned molex connector is a §§§§§ to get off every single time).

Thanks for any advice on this. I was trying to look at some of my old sinks & fans this afternoon to see what would fit and nothing did!

I just don't think it's making good contact...it's got the spring push pins in it and to me, it doesn't press hard enough against the core for good heat transfer to the crappy sink.

I think we all looking forward to that :D

[SpicyHuevos]

Macci:
Think ya better unleash that 3.06 Have you seen what the 800fsb are getting in test 1 yet?
300+fps at a whee 240 fsb:)
If my calculations are right thats an easy 8000marks for a certain Vr-zone friend of yours:)

[macci]

WOoohoOO! :D
Better sell all RDRAM related stuff instantly :D MUST GET CANTTERWOODY ! :D

[macci]

Hmm now that I think about it the 290FPS Visionary got at only 3.3G seems a bit too good even for a Canter at 240FSB. But I could be wrong :)

[Pedro Rocha]

Bought one Connect 3D 9800 Pro, seems a very good batch, can do 480 on core and 760 on mem - all with stock cooler and no vmod, or RamSinks :)

Here are the results:

When will you upload your 7.8K score as shown in the Dry Ice thread ? ;)
