Opteron 170 + 7800GT SLI = trifecta! 3d03 3d05 3d06 WRs

[afireinside]

Ran DICE on my 170 again tonight with MPS multi processor tweak for some heat! Broke through 16k with some pushing. Tried hard for 9k 3d06 but it just wasn't happening. Was half way through last test at 594 core when screen just flashed black to an error report screen :(

3d03 - 33679 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4630961)
3d05 - 16037 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1816983)
3d06 - 8929 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=138487)

That's what 594 core looked like in 3d06. I wish it finished that would have been 9k :(

LOL and WOW at the same time...Nice job :up:

...though I hope that 16k isn't all those GTs have got...

I didn't have time to drop a /14 divider to see if ram clocks were holding me back. Most likely. I didn't want to as 3220 with 268mhz ram is probably faster than 3350 or so max with 240mhz ram. Maybe I need a new CPU. 16k is as far as these cards are going unless I get some DIce units for the cards and my special cold bug fix BIOS works ;) Right now I can't boot with 1.4vgpu and the zalmans @ 12v. I need 1.6vgpu in 2d (1.81 3d) just to load windows with the fan on top.

Congrats dude.

are you gonna pick up some solid vga tubes?\

how cold was it in there? do you bench in your bedroom?

[afireinside]

I'll have a set as soon as they come in from the machine shop ;) Will have moved on to an x1900xt or G71 by then though...

[eva2000]

Excellent.. same as my 170 0546XPMW good to know it likes the cold :D

nice, are you having some made? or are you talking about jasons pots.

Likes cold? I needed MPS multi processor tweak and 1.76v for these clocks. Maybe on a single stage this would work. Without MPS I needed 1.7v and boot 2.8ghz then run dual sp2004 to get anywhere.

Jasons pots of course.

[massman]

well, it's gooed to hear that you worked around the coldbug, so you could finish the benches.

Hell of a score, but I miss a quadrifecta :D

[afireinside]

I didn't have 3d01 installed or the installer on my USB drive ;) Plus I don't know if a 3.2ghz dual core would be enough to break the near 45k I'd need for the record.

[Dynasty]

16K with GT's/dual core that is sweet, congrats AFI. :toast:

[cMw]

i know ram clocks are holding me back on my GT's

8475 - 3d05

rams running at 217mhz :(

[cronic]

awesome job bud, congrats on 16k, i'm just tring to break 15k.

[afireinside]

Thanks :)

At 605/1315 with a 3ghz dual core you should have smoked 15k a while ago.

My second card is so bad. 47mhz slower than my first card. Holding me back big time :(
