23.315: HD5850 3DMark Vantage milestone

This result was made as a part of a ASUS Regional Overclocking Championship 2010 qualification. Too bad 5850's PWM isn't as strong as it is on HD5870.

:cheer2:

Wow, you guys almost ruled out everyone in the 5850 category, including multiple cards :up: Vantage is lovely, no need to mention that ;). If only you had a 5.3GHz+ Vantage chip and some more headroom at the 5850!

crazy result ;)

Way to go guys, love to see you in action!!!

Excellent work! This score would rank high even among HD5870s :D

wow ... 5850 under ln2 = 5850 xfire!!!

@George, qballe, Monstru, xoqolatl & Lamb:
Thank you guys for your kind words :yepp:

Yes, this CPU had another 20-50MHz of head-room but that's it. Not much of 3D chip it seems.

Looking good.

Any thoughts on voltage scaling, performance scaling (gpu/mem bottleneck) and coldbug/boot issues?

masbo,

Voltage scalling as on HD5870, GPU is a true bottleneck, I gained 250pts going from 4.95 to 5.1GHz but gained 700 pts for each 50MHz GPU bump. Memory isn't as critical due to 256-bit bus. No coldboot/coldbug until ~ -170°C (tried a bit with LN2 too but didn't push it as insulation wasn't ready to hold it), just like HD5870 I have tested some time ago: http://www.oc-lab.si/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75742#p75742

Big up for this milestone !

Looking forward to see you in Belgrade next week. You are really pushing limits hard.

awesome work.
good to see something from you and moonman again. :up:

Wow crazy numbers! Is the card hard vmoded?
I should send you my 5850 that make 1130 GPU under water to test it for 24k:D.

Congrats again :up:

Awesome result ..
I like that statement:
"3DMark Vantage - Performance 1x GPU rank: 25th out of thousands, good for 30.2 points"
Considering 5850 is not the fastest single GPU atm

i get 19,700 in vantage single 5850 on air so i assume thats good.

nice benching, Tiborr, check out my 3dmark05 results with crappy 5850@ln2 @ hwbot - 40689 :P

Awesome sponge_bob, hands down. I'll try to match up with Sabertooth 55i setup & Ci5 750 (I hope it's a good overclocker, the other Ci7 870 I have is a total dissapointment, only 4.9GHz 3D @ -100°C cascade).
