TAAA DAAAAA

Im very very very very very happy. My card isnt the best but Im thinking with a card doing 540/400 that 27K will be no sweat and I dunno about you guys, but to me thats insanely exciting :lol: :banana:

On a side note, Im pretty stoked that the cpu is acting nicely for me today benching at 250fsb 1:1 2-6-2-2 :thumbsup:

[LORD]

Creative, Congats on a job well done. :toast:

More clock on the vid card and sky's the limit..... Well higher than 26K any ways.:D

[Geforce4ti4200]

good job and thats sure an unusually high nature score for your clock speeds now

[zakelwe]

Congratulaions Creative, are you the first person from Oz to get 26K ? If so then I could crack the obvious wizard comment !

Regards


Andy

PS Does your PC have a pouch ? :)

[MaD^MaX^1482]

nice work Creative.

at least people here dont bag the crap out of u cause u got one. like all the little girls on OCAU , most of the crying cause they can afford 1.5k

nice to see some good results , to bad its locked.

u should talk to one of your friends and get a prommie on the video card.


GO THE AUSSIES !!!!!!!!!

[Sovereignty]

Yes very nice job. It's a shame that card only clocks to 508/391 though :(

[Iridium192_217]

very nice

go for 27k!!

[Creative]

Yep the vid card is disappointing but I have her up to 520/390 now with 1.87vgpu so while sorta ok, its not the best. Im thining its my cooling - water is about 25dc and using a Swifty MCw50-T - wish water was coler :)

Im up to 26350 now and Im thinking I could reach 26.5 with this current setup. Any higher and thats when the XT is needed me thnks :)

Thanks for th comments guys, its appreciated :thumbsup:

ps
Thru my scores it appears that the nature seems to be a little bugged by about 4-5fps. I am using the same clocks throughout the whole bench so therefore I think it is valid. :)

[Horus]

the nature score cant be true , has to be a bugged one

my nature is 180 on 550/455

on the bugged run it was 190

[Soulburner]

It does look bugged, I have seen cards at around 500/400 getting 165ish.

[charlie]

At 600/448 the Nature runs range between 185 and 191. I've seen the "crazy" 196 runs, but when that happens, you know it. You see radial lines form on the screen and the FPS go wayyy up.

C

[Geforce4ti4200]

wow that must explain the bugged nature scores by around 10fps too high. can other cards such as 9600 pros and ti4200s get bugged nature? my nature suffers if I push it too far, those artifacts cause weird disortions and halve the fps

[Creative]

Fair enough :)

I rkeon they are valid though if Im using the same clocks on every test. Nature does tear a little more than usual but not the amount that it should for a 'normal bugged' run. Ive seen them before so I know what they are like and nah mine are really that bad to be honest :)

Trying some 2003 now but it seems I might have a bad version. It continues to freeze halfway thru the loading bar for Mother Nature after running the previous 3 tests fine :confused: :)

[dpa]

1.85v.. to high in the long run?

[Creative]

Most likely with my lack of cooling for sure :)

But Ive only used it for about 2 hours of benching and now back to default so should be ok...no effects yet and thats what I usually do to my cards :thumbsup:

[general_rommel]

Yeah as i have said before gg creative. And on the comment of first in Australia to get to 26K that is true, hell hes the first person to get to 25K :p

If i still had my 9800 Pro i would lend that too ya for a run because it was running 545, 410 stable at 1.75 , 3.2V, and then 27K wouldn't be that difficult.

And about the bugged nature score thats a little odd, with my card if it starts to artifact and tear i get a major loss in fps.... hmmm

[WxChaser]

Cool 'Drew! Way to go bro...really happy for ya! :banana:

[mdzcpa]

Congrats Creative:toast:

Sounds like you have your EE ironed outed. I'm still working on mine. I've gotten to 4Ghz now, but it takes some serious voltage to do it:eek:

I'll let you know if I can get the EEto run any higher on the AI7 versus IC7-G Max II.

Again good job!

[Geforce4ti4200]

have you gotten your ram at 1:1? 250fsb on a 3.2ee is 4GHz on the dot. also if you have other video cards to try and the time, let me know :)

[Creative]

General Rommel, I think if you still had your card and that awesome OC on it, you would have gotten to the 25K mark first :thumbsup: But as fate would have it, the card took a back burner....when you get your card back make sure to run some 3DMark.....Im saving the No.2 seat here for you ;)

Thanks Steve :thumbsup: Appreciate that :) Hope you are having luck on that cpu finding quest :thumbsup:

mdzcpa thanks man!!! I have replied my thread in the overclocking forum about an anomaly I have found with the cpu :)

GeForce, ya man 250fsb 1:1 is what I am using. Im hopefully going to have my hands on an XT in the next week or so, maybe, so see how that goes :)

[Geforce4ti4200]

whats your ram timings as well? 3-4-4-8 sucks obviously even at 250fsb :( as for the 9800xt, how much better are those than the pro?

[Soulburner]

Well Bowman was at 28.8k or so with a 9800Pro and A64 at 2850mhz or so, so the XT isn't a huge step up.

And yeah, RAM at 200 2-2-2-5 is faster than 250 3-4-4-8 sadly.

[Geforce4ti4200]

I thought bowman was more like 28.2k with oppainters 9800 pro? cant quite remember. also most people still think pc4000 ram is much better despite those timings and they get angry when I tell them the truth otherwise :( ah their loss and money

[Creative]

lol soulburner who said I was running my ram at 3-8-4-4? He only suggested or asked if I was :)

Geforce, nah Im running 2-6-2-2 with Turbo PAT on and System Turbo also with 3.23vdimm. I want more vdimm cos I rkeon they could go higher :thumbsup:

I know a XT will get me 27K easy. I rekon an XT would oc to about 530 minimum on the core which is a good 10mhz more on the core minus tearing I rekon also. The mem will reach 415 minimum also too I rekon. Anything higher would be a bonus, but thats what I would be aiming for with an XT :)

Soulburner, you made negative comments in my EE thread also. So please if you have nothing positive to add, or even a suggestion on how to better my score, then please leave your negative comments at the door :banana:

Cheers

[Soulburner]

I never said you were running 3-4-4-8.

Wait a minute....what negative comments have I said? :confused:

[kommando]

Creative, havn't u got ur XT yet?

Good score btw.

-Kommando from OCAU off again-

[Creative]

Thought it was you....Ya got it today, posted pics in the OCAU thread :)

Bout to put the swifty block on here now and see how she goes :)

[Geforce4ti4200]

time for you to update ur sig :)

[Creative]

And another update :)

26847 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7295580) :banana:

I know I can get 27K from this current setup. No mods to card, just iced water and swifty pelt which Im changing for a DD maze4 :)

I know its 27K cos a few tests are 2fps short of peak fps and adding them up would be just over so Im going to have a fly or die run tomorrow morning when I get up :thumbsup:

Im pretty stoked guys :wiggle: :eleph: :bounces:

Night :)

[Geforce4ti4200]

you did it! you made the very bottom of the FRONT page!!!!!!!! Nice scores given your cpu and gpu clocks! have you maxed out both? a couple more MHz on each is a 27k run :D

[Creative]

Thanks dood!!! :):)

Just did a search using the criteria of default bench and one score per user and im 15th on the ORB/Front page :banana:

IM SO HAPPY!!! Ive never been top 15 before. Ive been front page before but nah not top 15. Hopefully with some mods etc I might be able to get more yet....wish the cpu did more :D
hehehehe

Fully off now, night :)

pps
Here is how I had the water all nice and iced :p:

[kommando]

Dangit, is ur mobo hoiztonal or veritcal?

[Creative]

All in a case setup for a 24/7 machine :thumbsup:

Thats just the res on the table next to the machine :D
hehehehe

Got a surprise soon ;)

[Jupiler]

Excellent scores, Creative, congrats. :toast:
Hope you'll reach 27k soon. ;)

[Techmasta]

Congrats. You'll be able to hit 27k for sure now.

[Creative]

Cheers Jupiler and Techmasta :thumbsup:


27K BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7297760) :cool: :cool: :lol: :lol

http://users.bigpond.net.au/batmaun/9800/27K.gif


I rekon the neighbours would have heard my w00ting and yelling - I was soooo happy guys you dont understand!!!! Well maybe some do - the ones on MSN that is :lol:

Anyways, heading out for a bit now so will be back later. GOing to attempt some mods to card now so fingers crossed :D

[Geforce4ti4200]

nice job, did nature artifact? thats sure a high nature score for 525 core. do you think you can overtake fuggers score next? hes only 2.4k above yours on a much faster video card but I think hes running his ram async so thats gonna hurt him on the cpu side. I notice the competition has heated up greatly, three more guys just submitted high scores today! now you need 27.2k to make front page

[Soulburner]

FUGGER is not running asynch, he is running 1:1.

That may change soon, I hope he does some high FSB asynch runs.

While 27k is an awesome score, he has no chance at FUGGER. You are talking about someone with -100c cooling from a Cascade and a near 600 core XT.

[Creative]

Yer ofcourse it tore a little but nowhere near the levels I have benched previous cards :) Also stop picking on my Nature score :p: - its actually very much where it should be - dont forget the ram is running 440mhz (unmodded and no ramsinks) along with that 525core ;) Also gotta look at the EE power too :D
heheehhehe

Soul is right, no chance at Fugger :D But ill give my best shot at 28K though thats for sure :thumbsup:

What criteria do you search for the front page? Cos either i do it wrong or you do it wrong cos for me the front page lowest score is 26673...... The way I search is click the default criteria, and then pick search for one 1 score pers user - pretty pointless to have a front page filled by 20 scores and only 15 people now wouldnt it ;) And you will see that I am sitting at No.16 :)

If I am able to get 27.5K then I will be 9th and for the first time in the Top 10 :banana:

This is where it reallly gets exciting :lol:

[Jupiler]

Hehe, didn't take to long to break 27k.
Nice work, creative.
Is your cpu at it's max?

[Creative]

Cheers Jupiler :) Where you been lately? Havnt seen scores from you lately man :)

Yep cpu is 100% maxed for current cooling. We trying to get the proms r404a gassed but noone local wants to touch them :(:(

I can bench 251 when its cooler, and 250 all day but would be awesome if I could bench at say 260 :D

I got my University results back today and I passed all my subjects with low 60s so that coupled with the 27K and im off to the pub so wont be back till tomorrow :banana:

[Jupiler]

Cheers, and don't drink to much :D

I know, I haven't benched in a couple of months. :(
I've spent way to much money this year on computer stuff, and looking at prices now, I can't afford to upgrade every 2-3 months :)
Gonna wait some more and see what next year brings. ;)
