CONGRATULATION:toast: :toast::D

[macci]

Whoa the new drivers are really that fast!?
Man I gotta rebench quickly and try 10k :D

[isp]

Looks like the 3dmark dream team... ;) :hehe:

[macci]

Looks like FUGGER has updated his Mark2001 and also broke the 30k barrier there :toast:

Fugger's 30.2k (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7556913)

[JeffPH]

congrats guys well done!!! :)

[macci]

I think that he is running w/ 15x multi

[LilGator]

well that would make more sense :D

what drivers did you use for 9730 macci ?

[macci]

The 3.9s (6396) which were the latest drivers available when I benched.
It seems that the new driver gets 100-150 marks extra.

[sandman]

Go for it Macci, be the first to 10K.

:D

[Stang_Man]

or 9900 :D

[Soulburner]

Reminds me of when I had 19,994 3DMarks because of bad Car Low....being right on the edge sucks :D

[charlie]

great work, guys...

[FUGGER]

Thanks guys, I should have pushed a little harder but I was out of gas.

Yep we will see a 10K shortly.

[sandman]

Insane scores, just insane.

[Kanavit]

wow, just 30 pts separating! 10k, intel 1st

any chance of seeing Oppainter's 2k1 get taken down?

[r3b0rN]

yeah and with opp working on a socket a setup we wont see him fighting back for a while.

[Edogg]

congrats to everyone

[captaincascade]

keep chasing that rainbow. maybe we should go check the orb.

[Minnyboy]

Just when you thought the P4EE has the power the FX51 steps back up to the plate & regains the crown...:slobber:


64pts seperating the top 3

1st = 9764 = Oppainter
2nd = 9730 = macci
3rd = 9700 = fugger

who's gonna break that 10K first??
:eek:

ps: opp, thanks for keeping amd on top :D

[nailbomb]

Cheers to everyone, oustanding stuff :)

[kommando]

Damn you guys are great inspiration but you take away the other competition. Creative the aussie benching guy has now quit because he can't match your setups :(

Time for someone to step up, Eva2000, r3b0rn we gotta get some insane clocking happening.

[macci]

9800! :toast:

Looks like I really have to wake the cascade up. :D

I'm heading home, it's late down here in LA.

OPP:toast:

[dim3z]

awesome work guys, 10k is surely going down by the end of the month

[r3b0rN]

lets not make these wild guesses, it takes away from the actual achievment... lets just say 10k will be here soon, and it will be most likely done by one of these fine oc'ers. good luck opp, macci and fugger, let the benching begin! :D

[S!1v3rB@cK_Dk]

My vote goes for macci, because he is from scandinavia.. Or what about Tom Holck, what is his score?

[zakelwe]

Nice work guys :)

Congrats to FUGGER for the 30k especially.

That GT1 score of FUGGERS is excellent in 03, I wonder if it was the driver or the extra speed from the EE ?

If it is the driver then Macci has a good chance of trying to get #1 again.

I wonder why people like Creative and JC give up if they cannot be at the very top ? You can have fun ( maybe more fun without all that pressure ;) ) in the lower classes or just doing better than you did before. Oh well, JC and I am sure Creative are still helping people by trickling down their experience and skill.

Regards

Andy

[Hobocrow]

Congrats, guys!! :toast: Those are some awesome scores. Do I hear Maccis' cascade running up! ;)

Guess us little ppl better get after it again.... :D

[mg84]

great score to every body :toast:
we are waiting for 10k
:toast:

[ctgilles]

Come on FUGGER and MACCI, take that AMD score down :hehe:

I'm sorry, I have a split personality, that was the EE fanboy speaking :D
Good job guys ;)

[Soulburner]

Look at macci's clocks though....i'd say he's back on top soon ;).

[zakelwe]

Macci's going for another attempt at it seemingly from the AMD side again if you check the AMD64 overclock thread in extreme overclocking .. new AMD64 chip that does over 3Ghz so depending on how far over 3Ghz it goes could be interesting

This is turning out to be like Forman v Ali, or perhaps more accurately Ali v Ali ( for fear of offending anyone :D )

I'm not counting FUGGER out either, everyones got cracking hardware at present.

Somebody's cascade is going to blow at this rate either taking out half the USA or half of Europe.....

Regards

Andy

[captaincascade]

good thing i have back-up cascade systems:D

[Kanavit]

Nice job Oppainter!! :eek: w o w

errmm, i thought AMD will never take 3d03 from intel. my pride is hurt.

[FUGGER]

Not a problem. Huge video card clocks sererate us by 100points

[captaincascade]

isnt that what the difference usually is between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

[FUGGER]

card clocks no, points yes.

Ill try to get some runs in tonight

[Kanavit]

G O FUGGER! U only have 621mhz on the XT atm, if you can somehow find 30mhz more , i think you can beat Oppainter's score.

[Geforce4ti4200]

Macci may be able to edge Oppainter, this remains to be seen, but Oppainter does have the cpu edge though. Has Macci gotten a socket 939 mobo and 3700+ over 3GHz?

[Melkizedek]

:up: :up: :up:

9839

:YIPPIE:

[Melkizedek]

- 161 to 10000

Amazing what he has done.

[FUGGER]

Moving up again, macci passed for the moment and we know he cant let that ride for too long.

I found some more card clocks.

[pik-ard v1.1]

makes ya wonder what oppainter would get with the 4.2's... he's still using 4.1's. :p:

[Geforce4ti4200]

wow fuggers at 9785 with lower clocks than Macci but he does have a faster cpu :D

[pik-ard v1.1]

he also has newer drivers... and he is up to 9808 as of this post. ;)

[Kanavit]

Fugger putting up a good fight now, lets see only 30 pts seperating the two. Catalyst 4.2 drivers are a good set too. For awhile, I thought that the EE's were safely ahead of FX in 3dmark03, but Oppainter really have something to prove.

[r3b0rN]

opp, fugger and macci - u guys so freaky :slobber:
"there benchmark fighting!" lol

[macci]

Great improvements there guys :toast:

Lets see if there is room for 10k :D

[zakelwe]

Nice work FUGGER.

OPP, macci and FUGGER will all be checking the orb as soo as they get out of bed :)

I wonder if anyone will be able to get 10k before nv40 / r420 come out and move the game on yet again ? It will be difficult I guess, I think it will be a hard slog in 10's from here.

Has Captain Cascade or Chilly1 have anything colder being built at present ?

[Melkizedek]

daily update...

OPPAINTER -161 (9839)

FUGGER -192 (9808)

MACCI -270 (9730)

Macci is waiting...

I'm quite sure that he can reach 9900 with new drivers...

[kommando]

ooo 10 k gonna happen this time easy.

[althes]

Just cant wait to see 10k

[Geforce4ti4200]

macci is still behind, maybe he can get 9850 ;)

he's running 2 x 512 Corsair RE AFAIK

it's only sold in 512MB sticks ;)

[macci]

OPP at 9878 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2068578) now :D

Must do a 3dmark sessio ASAP. :D

Should give a decent score if I can get the card up to the clocks I had last year. I haven't used the card since the 9730 bench (thats almost 2months now).
I'm sure she'll do a nice run thou :)

[Bennah]

Good luck to you all :toast:

And make the best man win...:p:

[pik-ard v1.1]

im sure the cat 4.2's will give macci a good boost right there... ;) they seem to have helped everyone else out on 3dmark03.

though, OPP isnt using the 4.2's i think, he has the 4.1's last i checked.

[macci]

All right got the 3dmark up and running :D

over 9.8k already, CPU at 4055MHz :D

[sky]

go macci, go! :D

well then.. something that p!sses me off..
3d2k3
#1 12.760 doboy, r9800p @467/386, 170fps mother nature, yea right
#2 9.878 opp
#3 9.808 fugger
#4 9.730 macci - for the moment at least :D
#5 9.483 owned, r9600 @398/297, 146fps trolls lair, 19.6fps mother nature.. yea right

what the fack gives? isn't this doboy dork up there for a day now with his fake scores? and what about #5 - didn't bother looking further down there... can't these a**holes just keep hiding in their ratholes? bah.. anyone mind telling fm about these?

[FUGGER]

http://fugger.netfirms.com/9935.jpg

A huge jump in nature without that fade to black. Not sure why its happening but its happened a few times.

61fps nature

[macci]

Too much mem clocks perhaps? :)

Good luck for your bench session. Im off to bed now :D

[FUGGER]

It happened at lower mem clocks and I am at minimal tearing on
screen.

It just ends without the fade to black and gives score. I feel its a bug and wont post the score.

Have you seen this problem before?

[macci]

Havent seen nature buggin on mine yet. It does it in mark2001 when too much mem clocks but not in mark03 so far.

Unless your running at 670/480 you wont see 60+ fps in nature without a bug of somekind.

[FUGGER]

Yep, fade to black must be a seperate routine in the benchmark it to quit and still give score. My memory was at 459 iirc

[Bennah]

Thats plainly insane, same score and with only 4GHz cpu speed.

I just camt my head around how you peeps can improve your score like that. Have a top score then someone beats it. Then your another run and there you go, a top score again.

This is intresting to watch!

BTW, macci why dont you get a FX? And go for top in 01?

[OPPAINTER]

Macci,

Nice score my friend. Gotta love those numbers:D

OPP

[Colin]

Wow this is pretty exciting to watch... It's nice to see you guys encourage each other, shows a great deal of sportsmanship! Keep up the great work guys!

[Geforce4ti4200]

"OOO macci just posted a score 98783dmarks, SAME AS OPPAINTER!!, but maccis only at 4065MHz, crank the CPU speed up n lets see some 10K goodness."


3dmark 2003 doesnt really care about cpu speed but yea if Macci can get his cpu stable any higher clocks he just might do 9900 marks :D not much but enough to be #1

[Kanavit]

Great Job fellas! Man , I would love to see 60fps nature in 3dmark03 on my system. Wow, it seems Fugger has gotten a pretty high score , but a bugged run which is too bad.

my 3dmark03 score increased from 3649 to 3798 pts. stock, when i upgraded just the cpu from 2.4 to 2.8ghz. So cpu speed can be a factor too.

[Soulburner]

CPU speed only plays a large role when it is your bottleneck.

For example, when I overclock my CPU from 2400 to 3200 my score increases fro 6,600 to 7,100 - a 500 point increase. Obviously I was overpowered in the video area and underpowered in the system area.

Otherwise it doesn't make as much of a difference.

[Geforce4ti4200]

Then I hope macci is able to get his p4 past 4050MHz, like 4.3GHz would be sweet :D

[captaincascade]

my god!

[oc-rookie]

Originally posted by Geforce4ti4200

Why does 3dmark read clock speeds incorrectly? It reads the FSB right and no matter what 1:1 5:4 3:2 it is always posts lower than the actual clock speed.

Mad scores guys!!!! I think a great bon voyage to the R360's will be the 10k mark by all 3 overclocking madmen!!!

[Soulburner]

It reads mine correctly...

[zakelwe]

Hopefully FUGGER can sort his bug out.


When are you benching 3dmark01 macci ? Nice video card clocks.

With r420/nv40 maybe they'll be powerful enough with their new shaders to start showing cpu effects in GT2-4 ?

Andy

yeh i know dude, but if he can run his EE at like 4.3G-4.4Hz then that will be enough to get him 10K for sure, 3dmark 03 is pretty damn ignorant of CPU speed, but not THAT ignorant

Why is none of them using a 5900/5950u with Vmods and some exotic cooling?

I thought these cards did even better than the 9800XT in '03?

I think they're still 52.16 iirc.

Off Topic: The 52.16 drivers have had their 3DMark03 enhancements taken from them in the updated version 3.40.
The drivers after them have those enhancements re-instated which Futuremark are calling "cheats".
In other words, Futuremark just couldn't be stuffed releasing an update everytime nVidia release a driver update.
Whereas ATI have followed Futuremarks request of not "cheating", that's why ATI's drivers from 3.9-4.2 are support/approved.
Not really into 3DMark03 either, just remember seeing some websites posting results for 2003 with 53.-- forceware being asked to take them down or re-test them with Futuremark approved drivers....
Seems like nVidia can't help themselves, gotta be no#1 no matter what.

On Topic: I can see 10K being taken down within the next week.

/ponders why Oppainter hasn't used Cat 4.2's yet.
/thinks that 4.2 is Opps's secret weapon to break 10k!
/thinks Macci can get those CPU clocks up to take the title for "first to 10K!"

/enough of thinking!!

[kommando]

Macci just needs a few hundred mhz's and hes there. But to be hoenst i'd rather see an amd cpu get there first.

[paul007]

AMD wont beat INTEL in 2k3 IMO. Ive watched the futuremark ORB for months and INTEL has always had a slight advantage there..

I look at my 3700 with a 9500 and cry, lol.

IIRC macci was also the first to 10k in 01.....lets see if history can repeat itself. I think it can :D.

[Bennah]

As he is making headway in 03, he should be doing 01 aswell. Improving his 01 score that is, or he could be just letting us all wait then out of the blue and good score comes. I doubt that it would beat the FX though, thats one hard ass s.o.b. :eek:

IF AMD does better on 2000 then it is about the cpu and not just the OS ......

maybe Quad is right and WINXP is faster for everything. Though most people run who run AMD also run Win 2k still on the front page.

Macci & Fugger are using 32-bit engine, while Oppainter's machine is 32/64bit power! It will be a close finish. Macci & Fugger both using Cat 4.2s, while Oppainter's is running with Cat 4.1s.

my hats off to you macci, you are truely a master of your trade. Unless op can do 10k with -40c, he wont get there.

As i was walking into my shop i noticed a strange shadow on the ground, so i looked up. And there was my three stage, up on the roof. I knew what it wa doing, it talked about it all the time. See, things just havent been the same for it since i added a compressor. The new compressor just didnt fit in, and well, the three of them just drove eachother mad....
oh yes, i knew exactly what it was doing....
but there wasnt enough time... I yelled "NOO please not yet".. right as i said that, she looked at me. Closed her eyes, and just let go. i ran to her but.....She was pronounced a peice of crap that didnt work at aproxomatly 6pm 2-17-04

You sure u was'nt going to break 10.5K with that run :D Now that is what you call extreme... ;)

[zakelwe]

I told you people would start blowing things up, such is the competition, though Europe and USA are still safe one video card and one extreme cascade seem to have had " unhappy " endings as Copyman would say.

Looks like macci managed to make an unhappy ending happy again and so has a clear run now if his soldered together card can stand the pace. Macci, that is a nice card, be careful, don't go beyond manufacturers recommended voltage :D

CC, now for something really cool in time for r420 ? Opps will put it to the best of use I am sure, he is Mr Predictable, Mr Predicatably Good ;)

I was going to test 4 sticks of bh-5 tonight to se how they would go , but this is more exciting, might just browse the forum.

When 3dmark03 was released Worm said that people would be lucky to get 5000. 1 Year later we have this. Excellent progress.

not exactly. AMD is faster in Win2k and Intel is faster, way faster in WinXP, but the real problem is 3D'03 is optimised for WinXP, Intel's favourite:)

I'm not so sure about that QD.

If you look at the compares, OPP has a higher GT1 score even with the lower overall score:

macci/OPP

341.3/343.5
66.8/66.5
57.5/57
58.1/57.5

Then again macci doesn't have his CPU at max. 3DMark says 4106mhz. But the point remains that OPP has more system power at the same overall score.

[Geforce4ti4200]

"Then again macci doesn't have his CPU at max"


His old p4ee overclocked better too. Maybe if he swaps cpus and puts his old one back in or something ;)

[Soulburner]

No it didn't. He can bench 3DM01 at 45xx mhz with his current one.

[Geforce4ti4200]

maybe his cooling cant make it cold enough or his cpu is no longer stable at that high clock? Id imagine he would have had it at 4.5GHz by now if he could

[FUGGER]

346.6 in GT1 on my rig, didnt get any runs in yesterday and shut down early.

Great job macci, GL on 10K Ill be lucky to hit 9.9k

Melkizedek, Yea I have a macro shot of the dang part that exploded :D

Still at 9967. that one was at 4434MHz (246x18 1:1) 654/471.
The CPU will do the bench at 4524MHz (251.3x18 1:1) now. Good card clocks at that speed should do the trick.

Good luck macci, I wanna see how the card exploded.

OPP's faster in 3DMark2001 right? why because his chip is more powerfull. So why does OPP lose in '03 even though his chip's faster? WinXP maybe?
I don't know the vid clocks OPP had on his card though. Anyways let's not crap this thread.


Awesome score macci, you know you can't give up now:toast:

Well, of course :rolleyes:

But since most peeps have P4 CPU with 1 multi....
let's say a 2.8... if you have very good BH-5 and can run 270 1:1 for 3780mHz. Now the CPU is not at it's limit. Let's push the CPU farther to 295 or 4130mHz 5:4 or 236mem speed, of course in practice the 5:4 is faster. P4 1:1 benching is totally irrelevant (except if you have 18X ES like Macci) because the CPU's are capable of more raw speed.
The 4130 5:4 will be speedier than 3780 1:1 all day long.

Who's crapping this thread, and why are you rolling your eyes?

We are having a discussion...what's wrong with that?

You realize what i'm saying is, I don't think OPP has a disadvantage because of running Win2k. His GT1 score is higher even though the rest are lower (because of lower card clocks).

GT1 is much more CPU dependant. That shows its chugging along just fine...IMO if he had macci's clocks he would be pulling at LEAST the same or higher score.

[Stang_Man]

Originally posted by unrealneo

yes it did....one guy said one thing, another said something different... and blah.

in orian's computer, running 3.9Ghz 3:2, 325FSB was faster in 3d01 than 3.5GHz 5:4 (not sure on the fsb on that one...)

[zakelwe]

Is it only me or is 3dmark03 search facility really really slow at the moment ? I've done a search on XT9800 and macci's score is 9923 ..is this the latest, i thought it was closer to 10k than that ?

If I do a search on all it just times out.

I'm surprised that 5:4 is so much of a hindrence that 50MHz FSb still does not get it above 1:1, good to know though.

I know what Charlie is saying, with a locked multiplier you just have to bite the bullet and 1:1 will be the first thing to go so that the cpu is not speed capped artificially.

I've been thinking the same thing about AMD64, at present I have a VIA Abit board that does not like clockgen so it runs at 240x10 or so 1:1. If I moved over to the nforce3 Gigabyte K8N that is still sitting on the shelf and run it 300x8 6:5 would the 6:5 and slightly slower nforce3 chipset mean it is not much quicker ?

Regards

Andy

[Hallowed]

Soulburner, let me explain it.

XP gives better GPU scores in 03' than 2K, even at the same clocks. GT1 will favor 2K, as its mostly all system.

So basically the question is do you run XP on the AMD and lose system power for better clocks, or get the GT1 boost with 2K and suffer a few tenths of a frame in the latter tests? Intel works best on XP so it has that first advantage.

Sucks about OPP's lack of cooling. Its a 2-man race now. :(

[macci]

zakelwe, I havent uploaded any new results to the ORB yet. the 9967 run is still on my bench HDD.
Have to try the 10k again later today.

Ok, starting to lose track of what is going on , so much is happening.

have to agree with Hallowed, shame Opp is seemingly out, must be frustrating if you can't bench with a chance of getting the title back. Maybe CC and Opp have a good plan B. FUGGER being quiet again maybe a new run soon.

Good luck macci.

[macci]

OPP's faster in 3DMark2001 right? why because his chip is more powerfull.
It has nothing to do with card clocks? :D
If you take the total FPS number from car hi and lobbys you'll see that P4 EE ES and FX are pretty much equal on that one too.

A64 at 11x275 1:1 2-2-2-5-8-16 (it runs SuperPi 8M at that speed) should come quite close to EE and FX thou.. ;)

[nailbomb]

Some just pop the cap allready :)

[Kanavit]

I wouldn't discount Oppainter just yet. He still might have a few more pts up his sleeve. I think Macci is wise to wait and see what his challengers are going to do next. 10K will be broken, but Fugger and Oppainter will have to push Macci to get it.

[nailbomb]

I wouldn't discount Oppainter just yet.

I didn't know anybody was? I'd be glad to see any of the three get it.

I think Macci is wise to wait and see what his challengers are going to do next.

What a nonsensical statementthat is. He should wait for the other guys, to see what they do, and possibly pop 10k? ;) He should just go for it, they all should.

Sheesh man.....errr...ummmm.....jah ;)

His Cascade is dead. Unless he gets new one built, like today, he isn't going to be in the race for 10k im afraid :(.

Macci was first to 10k in 3DMark2001...and its looking like he will be in 2003 as well.

[Hallowed]

Heh, I can imagine CC working doubletime trying to get a new cascade rolling...

Its nearly an endurance race, first to 10k, and times running out for two teams here. :stick:

If the 4.2's are 150 points over the 4.1's then OPP would have it, too. :(

i didn't say card clocks are not important, i said i didn't know what clocks OPP runs his at.
Also macci, i wasn't talking about A64, timings and superpi, i was stating FX-51 is simply the most powerful 3D chip and EE wins in '03 only because '03 is optimised for WinXP that's it.

This hardware doesn't want to go to 10k very easily it seems. I've got 9962, 9965, 9966 and 9967 now - all with different GPU/RAM/CPU clocks... :brick:

The card has taken insane amount of punishment and it still keeps on going :D I'm sure she'll get 10k in the end...if not.. :bsod:

[unrealneo]

I'm sure the magic number will appear when you're least expecting it. :)

[pik-ard v1.1]

you mean you cant hit 10k even with your cpu higher then 4.2ghz?

i mean sure... its not gonna effect it much... but even if you added "just" 200mhz, shouldnt that give you the 30-35 more 3dmark2k3 points you need?

[Soulburner]

Maybe you'll need CAT 4.3 ;)

[macci]

I got up to 9945 at 4305MHz (287x15 5:4)/654/474, at 4435 (246x18 1:1)/655/473 it is 9966. 4505/657/471 should be quite close to 10k.
Now I just need to get it thru the dang bench. with lower card clocks I've passed the test at 4524MHz CPU and on the other hand the card has passed the test at 660/474 w/ lower CPU clock.

[macci]

Yea CAT 4.3 (+50marks) would rock :D

[Stang_Man]

macci, you have pro version, you can't select tests and run them individually?

[unrealneo]

macci, need more power! :D

hope you get it sorted. I hate it when you get scenarios like that :mad:

I would assume if you can do that, he already does.

But I hear 03 doesn't let you do that.

[pik-ard v1.1]

sounds like all you have to do now is bench with higher clocks on both cpu and VC.

i'd say theres 10k in that system, without any different drivers/tweaks. ;)

You dont have the experience to understand the finer things about taking strong hardware to its absolute limits.

If it were a simple matter of just "overclocking more" it would have been done already. One overclock will determine the stability of the other and consequently you must strike a balance that can live for 20 minutes. Theres more but I don't need to explain it.

[pik-ard v1.1]

but he has done it before...

he has pushed his cpu further then his top scoring 3dmark03 run...

he's pushed it atleast 300mhz more stable enough for benching...

you would have a point if that 4.2ghz is the max he has ever benched it at, but it isnt, so you dont. ;)

"all" he has to do, in my eye, is do the two things at once, and for someone with his skill, i dont see how it could be that hard. ;)

you should note that im not telling him to OC his proccy more then he previously has...

Clocks up processor, GPU clock will fall.

GPU is 80%+ in 03'. Hence clocks at where they are. I believe this has been mentioned a few times already.

its well known that gpu is by far most important in '03... but, all he is asking for is 34 marks... its not like he needs to up his processor that much for just 34 marks...

[sky]

well it's just harder the closer you get. kinda like with getting down to 0k (-273°C). the closer you get to that, the smaller the steps forward you make will be. so gaining 34 pts at the level he is at right now is like searching for 1500 pts for the guys around 6000 pts with a 9500 ;)

[Hallowed]

Yeah. Its obviously (at the moment) the max clocks possible on either component for the best combo or macci would have it already.

This really isn't that hard to understand.

[Bennah]

I say the winning formula would be his card @ 660/474. Which macci said that it had passed through the test at that before but his cpu has to be at a lower clock. Therefore run the cpu @ 242x18 (1:1) The good ol' 1:1 action would do the trick ;)

Set the card to its max firstly, then set to the cpu to suit :)

[Soulburner]

Hallowed is correct.

You may have more CPU speed, and you may have more GPU speed, but running them at the max at the SAME TIME will interfere with each other and sometimes cannot be done.

It isn't like that on my system but obviously is on his.

[Bennah]

Yup I know that.

Thats why I said run to the card at its max and run the cpu accordingly ;)

Soul, it seems like the populace here has a hard time understanding the simple law of "dont tell macci how to bench"

some of you guys dont have 10% the skill macci has. :hehe:

[Geforce4ti4200]

relax, were just trying to help this champ Macci reach his goal of 10k. it is clear that gpu clocks to the max is what he wants, even at the expense of a few MHz on the cpu

[pik-ard v1.1]

hm... maybe the whole max gpu vs max cpu thing is right... however...

it looked to me that macci was attempting to find max clocks on his 9800XT... as they seemed to go up each time. ;)

i dont see any posts where macci says that his high gpu clocks are interfearing with his cpu clocking... so why should i assume that is the only reason he isnt going with 4.3-4.4ghz?

when im personally trying to find the max clocks on my lowly card, i clock my cpu down a bit.

if i am wrong... which i may be, you could atleast see where i could make that honest mistake?

and if im not sure of something, like this situation, isnt it better to say something and get corrected, then to not say anything, and keep the same wrong assumption?

i know macci knows good and well what he is doing, but just me saying something like what i said, could possibly get an explanation as to why he isnt running both at max. :rolleyes:

as for ace over there... :stick:

[Kanavit]

hmm,

I'm not really impressed with total score amount, but i'm more impressed with the amount of work needed to be #1.

3dmark03 is very demanding test. Look at the attrition, Oppainter's cascade broke, and Macci's video card bridge blew while running this benchmark trying to beat 10k.

[dim3z]

lol fools have a look at maccis website and the amount of things hes achieved.... hes probably the most accomplished overclocker out there and always up there with the best in term of benching aswell.

macci's benchmarking and overclocking skills should NEVER EVER be questioned let alone mocked or criticised and some of you have gone very close to mocking or criticising them

I believe I was the one who started the max card clocks and the cpu at a speed to suit :)

I say the winning formula would be his card @ 660/474. Which macci said that it had passed through the test at that before but his cpu has to be at a lower clock. Therefore run the cpu @ 242x18 (1:1) The good ol' 1:1 action would do the trick ;)

I was trying to say that in the past he has run his card and cpu together trying to level the combo out not at thier max's, which he probably cant do. Runing the card at its max might do the trick. macci might of already done this, who knows what he has done :D But I think that the card at its max, is the formula to get to 10K, Im not telling macci what to do, he doesnt he telling with all the knowledge he has but its just my thought :)

[Asniper]

Wonder how many points oop would gain from a driver update :)

[macci]

Thanks for all the suggestions :)
No idea is bad idea at this point :D

I think I need to put DX9.0b in and hope it gives atleast 5 extra (going from 9 => 9.0a gave me 5). I have server2003 OS too which gave a nice boost in A64 SuperPi results. Maybe it will run fast in 3D w/ Intel too. OPP has already shown that Server+DX9 in 3dmark2001 w/ A64 is faster than WinXP+dx8.1

And as far as OPP's driver goes it seems that its just as fast as the 4.2. Also I doubt that he would bench w/ cascade and not use the fastest driver for his setup ;)

btw, anyone got good ATI driver D3D tweaks?? Other than the usual control panel => high performance?

[Peen]

Maybe Rage3d?

edit -I think with Rage3d you can turn detail down even further, gotta check

I'l have to check that out. Do apps like SuperPI, Sandra run on Server 2003 Ok? Would everything be compatible with Server 2003?

[Geforce4ti4200]

we arent telling macci how to bench, but marely giving him suggestions ;)

[kommando]

I'd imagine 64bit cpus will show their full pwoer when 64bit apps and os's come out.

Sooo we now play the waiting game.

[nailbomb]

How does one install DirectX on Server 2k3? I just installed the OS tonight. It seems to be quite fast actually.

BTW, Sandra seems to run okay, yes. Dunno about SuperPI etc. This is my old box that I plan on using for a file server, folding machine.

[nailbomb]

Just tried SuperPI, runs fine. I'll be damned if I'm gonna post a score from a P4 1.8 thou GRIN.

Just think in two months you will be clicking to run it and your r420/nv40 will do 11k whilst you sit down eating your dinner wondering whether you should take the stock hsf off for the cascade .. LOL :D

This is a good point, although macci has 99.9% of everything covered due to experience and skill, benching has so many combinations that maybe something not thought of or wild will do the trick.

For instance Stinger ran 2 memory modules in AMD64 3400 and said it gave 300 more points at 30k, I would never have consdidered that in a single channel system ( might not be true though, not tested it ).

Besides, it is just people here being excited and involved, I'm sure we have all shouted " Hit him with a right " when watching a boxing match :)

Macci, increase your clocks on video and cpu ..that is my tip.

:banana:

:D :banana: yea funny thing how fast technology advances eh? If he can grab one of those quick, he may be the first to 13k or even 15k and 40k in 2001

lol, i thought it was pretty obvious, i've been recommending using 2x256mb sticks since day 1:)

[macci]

11 more Fking marks to go! Aaarrghhh :D

[dropadrop]

LOL

Go for it!

[dim3z]

LOL comeon, like 1 more mhz on core or mem and its youres:D

[Mrstickinit]

Man that's gotta be frustrating macci..... I know in the end though you'll figure it out and smash through the barrier.


It's kinda like when Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier! :p: I think it took 6 or more flights and he was going from like .96 mach, .97 mach, .98mach, etc. Then finally WHAM! straight through it. I doubt the ride will be as smooth though as it was for Yeager :D Keep it up man...... good luck.

[macci]

The hunt is over :D

gotta upload some stuff now

[Mrstickinit]

You smashed it didn't ya!?!!! CONGRATS MACCI!!!! :toast: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

It sure is.... need to update your sig now eh??? LOL :banana:

[zakelwe]

:toast:

Excellent finish to the hunt macci after all those days trying. First 10k in 2001 and 2003 now .. great record of your persistence in benching over time.


Now Futuremark just ned to clear up all that crap on the front page that has appeared over the last couple of days
:rolleyes: What is it with Ati 9600 owners ?

Regards

Andy

PS Quad, it's still not obvious to me using 2 sticks for AMD64, I know I am being a bit dumb here :) !!! LOL

[sky]

macci, you're the man! :toast: :slobber:
a salute to you for another milestone in
the history books of overclocking - chapeau!

[Minnyboy]

Congrats on the 10K macci :toast:

I see futuremark has some problems displaying correct fsb, is it because clockgen was used?

I know that 3D01 has the same probs displaying my scores with the IC7-G, setting 288fsb & it reports it as 0fsb. I also notice my bios reporting the same, 288fsb/289fsb is reported as 287fsb, only when i use cpu-z does it show me the correct speed/fsb.

Anyways, once again CONGRATS on breaking 2 milestones, 10K in both 3D01 & 3D03....:worship: :worship: :worship: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rocker: :rocker:

:toast: :banana: Cheers (and a dancing banana :D) mate!

[DjTonic]

good job m8 :toast:

[FUGGER]

Congrats and a job well done.

I was plugging away at it last night too,

My IC7-Max3 now up to 4.55Ghz but agpv too low to match P4C800 vga clock speeds. NB cap helped a lot.

Surprised you didnt run 2K1 with those clocks ;)

I'm really surprised that 10k was broken in 3dmark03. For a moment, I didn't think it was possible with current hardware and technology. Congratulations Macci.

FUGGER,

With such a nice speed out of your EE how are you doing on pifast, Superpi etc etc ?

PS Wonder if macci is now turning his attention to 2001 , would seem logical now the main signpost goal has been reached.

Well, it isn't possible with current hardware actually.

But it IS possible with current hardware in macci's hands :banana:

Macci and Opps hands, both have shown the following


1) Ability to use past experience to extract the max out of all new hardware coming their way.

2) Ability to take new hardware theories onboard ( in this I am thinking cascades ) and turn them into practice in a successful manner.

3) Ability to bench conistently over an extended time period without it blowing their brains :)

Of the above the 3) is the nost impressive to me. To be able to stay at the top of your field whilst hardware is failing and you have stayed up to 3-4-5am in the morning with other social activities ( like work ) the next day really takes some doing.

From posted items we know macci said he was tired after benching in January at all hours and we know CaptainCascade felt the tiredness whilst Opp was still benching away in early morning runs .....

And the hardware felt the pace as well, one blown cascade and one blown ( but still record performing ) ATI card, it's been great to watch.

Thanks guys.

Andy

Andy, I will try again once I finish the agp mod, I broke down already.

I used wires and located the NB cap off to the side and soldered it with NB fan still on the mobo. 1500u 6.3v

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm04=217114

bugged at 4.250Ghz (speed I booted at), I completed it at 4.56Ghz

I have a 4.29Ghz score saved 6735

The XT is a very durable video card, hard to believe the abuse it has been put through.

[Geforce4ti4200]

id like to congras you again :) next stop: breaking 31k in 2001
