#1 in '03 among 9500np

I just edged back first place with a 6621 in '03
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2021885

I know it's not that much of an accomplisment to announce, but it had been a few months since I had benched and needed to find an extra 100 pts in my system to retake 1st.

Not too bad for an ambient temp watercooled 1700+ with a little TEC on the gpu, lol.

BMorin, that's a nice score....getting over 6600 is great! :toast:
But, I had a tiny backup.... ;)

Just hope that La1krodiz doesn't see this ;)

#1 in 03 with 9500np is my man Overklokker AFAIK.. with 7060 3dmarks..

or am I missing something here?

:)

[SPQQKY]

Yeah, sorry bud, but it looks like you take third, just behind Hobocrow.

[BMORIN]

Didn't see Overklokker AFAIK as he isn't using a WHQL Futuremark approved driver. Come to find out I didn't either, lol. I just installed it and assumed it was and posted this thread before I even noticed. Hobo, mind sending me a link of the driver you used.

BTW, Hobo if you ever get some good gpu cooling, you should get up to 7k. I thought you'd appreciate getting beat by 2 pts, lol. Da** you for holding an ace up your sleeve - a 6627, that is hilarious. I'm gettin your driver and finding another 7 pts in this system.

Anyhow trying to get some final benches in before I go dual evap and make the next technology jump.

BMorin..... I used the patched ati2mtag.sys file from the same site that you used to softmod your 9500np...iirc, I downl'd the cat 3.10 drvrs from FM.
I would love to put my M1 on this GPU , but i glued the HSF on with ASepoxy and I glued it "real good"! I've been trying to get it off for months now! :D

btw, just do some low lvl score uploads and test it until you get it FM approved...then, go get 7+ more points! :p:

I had wondered because I thought you used phase change on your 9800xt. Have you tried throwing it in the freezer then trying to snap it off? You'd hate to kill a good card by getting too aggressive with it. You got a great clock on air, I think you have a cherry core there if you get that sucker off. I've done something similar before with Artic Alumina, that stuff is strong.

I didn't download the patched file, I just downloaded the whole driver with it already included from their site. I didn't know it would make a difference one way or the other.

I don't get what you mean by running the benchmark a few times to get FM approved. Don't I have to get a particular driver to get FM approved? Sorry, but like I said, I haven't benched since summer and they changed things with '03.

What I meant by that was .... this is a no stress way to test the uploaded result and actually see how FM "sees" your installed drvr in your uploaded result.
You might have a simple switch disabled or you might need a different "approved" drvr. GL :)

yeah fm approved has nothing to do with how many runs u do, just which driver ur using.

Yes, I've tried that.... but reading this gave me a new ideal...thank you.... :D If it works, I'll take full credit....if it fails...I just blame you! j/k .... :D
