Nice - curious how much available memory is left after 2x 2GB chew up some of it ?

6x2GB = 12GB ram config results ? :)

Still on 32-bit here actually. Gonna test 64bit with 2 x Dominator GT 6GB the coming days, it is a very important point you bring up. Running out of system memory have been a problem only having 3GB available to boot.

[eva2000]

12GB GT action.. can't wait :)

[subaruwrc]

wohohoo kickass result :clap:
It seems now u have a 5ghz+ vantage chip :D excellent.

[Kinc]

Oh, there is potential for 03 too :)

Very nice Kinc

[Assassin48]

thats a beast or a card

[mpc]

Nice 295 you got there... Wich LN2 Containers did you use?

[Kinc]

Thanks everybody :) I will have a short vacation so further results will be delayed till late next week. Suckiest timing ever :( 03 should end up closer to 180k.


Nice 295 you got there... Wich LN2 Containers did you use?

Vinces Tek v5.0 of course :)

[Dragonx21]

how about vantage performace?

[TheKarmakazi]

awesome!!! when will these launch?

[dpa]

I like those cards.. 39k Vantage P on air anyone..? :D

[GAR]

Very nice card.

[Kinc]

Working on getting system power for performance preset:

http://kinc.se/31739.jpg

[TheKarmakazi]

This is ridiculously awesome, I cant wait to see this paired with a 8600 for 2001 action..... What will be the pricetag? Im guessing $600+?

[voklskier4452]

damn man those cards are freakin insane

[Kinc]

Cards are insulated and ready to be pushed, here is the best run from the first session:

http://www.kinc.se/p40824s.png

-40C and 1.175V, trying to save the fun :D

This cpu has problems running the mem high, really struggeling to keep it at decent clocks.

[Vivi]

O.M.W >_<, insane amazing score....

Kinc can you tell us, what do you think asus plan doing with them? Is their focus to sell as many as they can or are they going to give out a few samples ?

[fubarswe]

Amazing! congrats to awesome setup! .., 1000 ex limited edition I belive or..?

[Kinc]

Amazing! congrats to awesome setup! .., 1000 ex limited edition I belive or..?

Thanks :) Yes 1000 pcs will be mass produced in July.

[Vivi]

you can't mass produce 1000 pieces :D

[Kinc]

High scales almost as well as Extreme with MARS :)

Congrats of finally breaking P40.. and of course new WR :toast:

[K404]

I thought Peter and Vince took P40 in their initial 2-week orgy with the first 295s?

LOVE the mod work Kinc, sweeet :D

EDIT: yup!

I think he means personally for me, I have been struggling to find a ok cpu for 40k a long time now.

Thanks :)

[K404]

Well its no small achievement ;) I didnt mean to take anything away from your work + score :)

[FatAlbert]

Congrats Kinc :)

I've got question, are those capacitors gave something ? I mean are they gave more stable voltage or extra mhz ?

:D:D

[Kinc]

Congrats Kinc :)

I've got question, are those capacitors gave something ? I mean are they gave more stable voltage or extra mhz ?

:D:D

Yeah actually night and day difference, since these are "hand made" and only had one 5uF 16V MLCC per MOS driver feed when I got them. Voltage were all over the place. I have added 1 OS-CON 16V 100uF per driver feed (5 in total). Plus 3 extra 16V 100uF per input filter. Final card will not need any rework, unless you really really wanna push it :)

[hiwa]

Congrats kinc :D
Hope to get two of them in july ;)

[Vivi]

really amazing stuff kinc :).

what do you think they will max out at?

[TheKarmakazi]

wow these cards are BEAST!

[Kinc]

really amazing stuff kinc :).

what do you think they will max out at?

Pretty much like a normal GTX285, over 1GHz core and 2.1GHz SP should be ok with -1XXC

[Gautam]

Great numbers, now quit it with this -40 1.175v stuff already :D

[Vivi]

agreed :D im overly excited.

vantage is cool but i want to see 2000fps nature ;p

[George_o/c]

Jamie I heard something about their prices and ... :( Let's say that if the price is correct, no rational enthusiasts will hit the shelves for one ... :shakes: I mean G300 is on its way (November to December), no reason to pay for such an exorbitantly expensive VGA.

I'm not sure if I should say anything though, at least for the time being.

[Achill3uS]

congrats for the WRs Marcus :up:

[subaruwrc]

Bahh congrats on the killer scores!

[SF3D]

Congratulation Marcus! 40K+ have been tough fight.

Those cards are beasts in H and X presets. We can clearly see the full power in there ;)

[over@locker886]

Congrats Marcus! Insane points!;)

[crotale]

Nice work on the results and the electronics :D

Finally the 40k, just in time before vacation. It must feel great :)

[Oliver]

congrats on the great Scores , the MARS will reallt raise the bar for sure

Vivi u got it , 2k1 incomming for sure :D

[Vivi]

i really hope this card pushes the 295 mod public >_<

[Kinc]

Thanks you all :toast:


Great numbers, now quit it with this -40 1.175v stuff already :D

Yeah I know but I want to get some results out of the system before I really push it :) -1XXC tomorrow.

[Mean Machine]

Elmor told me you already were on vacation, just that you were spending it at work, off hours to bench, and working during normal hours... :D

[sacha35]

Awsome numbers Marcus, I can see some Benchmarks falling soon.

[Dragonx21]

Congratz King..

40k is wonderful score.

[miahallen]

Thanks you all :toast:



Yeah I know but I want to get some results out of the system before I really push it :) -1XXC tomorrow.

Any update Kinc? Looking forward to some WRs out of this setup ;)

[hipro5]

Dumn!....I wish I had them....You're SO lucky man!.... :(

[Kinc]

Any update Kinc? Looking forward to some WRs out of this setup ;)

Waiting for more ln2, arrives on tuesday :)

[hipro5]

Heh, heh, heh.......I'm ready with a 32500+ marks Vantage CPU score ... :D

[George_o/c]

Nah ... you're bluffing :p:

[hipro5]

Nah ... you're bluffing :p:

You think so?... :D
Take a guess at what frequency it benches when I feed it with 1.56VCore... ;) :p:

http://www.hwbox.gr/attachment.php?attachmentid=2673&d=1245015229

[George_o/c]

I know, I know George, I was just kidding :D :up:

[Viss]

Very very nice cpu Hipro, starting i7 in style :up:

[Gautam]

Oh snap!!

And you want us to guess that? I say...not even 20MHz more. :p:

[hipro5]

Thanks guys... :)

You filthy pron hipro5.:D

[dinos22]

watches Andre pull out his credit card and buy the other 998 cards from Asus :rofl:

[hipro5]

You filthy pron hipro5.:D

You flucken freak Andre.... :D :p:

5540MHz Aquamark3 and moving on... :p:

You sure 5540 is enough?:D Maybe I have some secrets.:p:

[Movieman]

Just reading thru this and you guys are all nuts!
Good nuts but nuts!:rofl:

[hipro5]

You sure 5540 is enough?:D Maybe I have some secrets.:p:

Don't know!....I'm still testing... ;)

[k|ngp|n]

Thanks guys... :)



BAD guessing.... :D :p:

200mhz more?

[stangracin3]

200mhz more?

i vote 220 mhz more

[AndreYang]

200mhz more?



ok...I guess 5.5G vantage cannot beat hipro5, so I need to look for new i7 5.6G+ vantage cpus.

[stangracin3]

you could always look to get a 6.8 G amd chip.

runs and hides from the flaming.

[Vivi]

Then you cant paly vantage
cant play aquamark
cant play 32m
cant play wprime
cant play wprime

but you can have 6 hours with 05 and 06

[George_o/c]

I enjoy this soooooooooooo much :D

[Kinc]

Wow, nice cpu clocks Hipro. You will kill the ORB with MARS cards for sure :D

[subaruwrc]

If im not mistaken, 5286mhz is enough for 32.5k cpu score, with 1.56v it can reach 5320-5350mhz I think..

I was right then :( Seems that because it's the only 2 x GTX285 4GB card out there, NVIDIA wasn't that happy with ASUS's move and pressurized her to sell it at sky-high prices.

So George, I see that in that time your vcore has gone DOWN not up. :p:

P.S. My guess applied to the particular board you're using and none other. ;)

[hipro5]

With the Foxconn BloodRage, at 1.44VCore REAL (measured), it benches 5280MHz Vantage...
I don't know what it should do with other boards cuz I haven't tested it yet...I hope it stays where it is now (if not gain some more) and I will be satisfied :)
On MSI Eclipse (during the Greek finals for MOA), it did ~5200MHz Vantage.
Real thing is that this board gives me a hard time benching with it.... :( BUT I'm "learning" it for now... :)

[massman]

I think it's brave to go for the Bloodrage under cold ... it's not as easy to handle as most other boards.

[eligray]

This is why I love XS :)
