Ok I see your second score now and it seems about right. I just thought that it should be higher considering I got 4600 with my Sapphire X1950 Pro at stock clocks, with 1Gb of RAM (more now), not to mention you CPU and motherboard are better than mine. I have a mobo coming in the mail along with a whole slew of cooling fans for the case and RAM, so I'm gonna have this b$%ch overclocked in no time.
BTW I RMAd my Sapphire for the HIS model, and I love it.
dont forget thats just one run... from what i know review sites do like three loops.. reckon i should give it a few runs in a loop & c what i get?
ok so i looped it 3 times - i got 4454, no diff pretty much
I would reboot before you run the test so you clear all of the process's running.....this is suggested in one of the tip balloons when you start the app.
Well, ytes, lets try 05mark at 1024x768 (which is the default), and then lets see what results you get.
The score seems normal for me, without OCing that much and tweaking (without mentioning the software and appl you have rruning there.
Running a lot of loops not always will give you the best results.
As Binormalkilla said, close all applications.
I will try newer Riva Tuner version and see how it works.
Greetings.
i'm not a big fan of benchies... atm i'm running them to test oc stability - last night i got to 270x10 stable YIPPEE! My 3d06 score WITH all my bg apps running was 4473; i just did it again but with bg apps off & i got 4484... no comment... i'll b trying for 2.8 today, & depending on how quick n easy i get that, then i might start oc'ing the vid card finally
binormalkilla because your card has no reference gpu/mem freq bios can you please dump your bios by "atitool -> settings -> miscellaneous -> save vga bios to file" or "rivatuner.exe /BI bios.rom" and upload somewere or mail me to gafs_inbox.ru.
Hey, what's up mine? LMFAO why did that say that you need 2 PSUs? I never really understood that......
just kiddin ..dissing the mods :banana: :banana:
b.t.w
riva 2.0 final is out
Yea I saw that, anyone tried it for OCing our memory? It supposed utilizes the OCing technique that is necessary for our finicky memory.
Hey! I've been to the black forest, but I was only a little kid LMAO! Can't remember....DOH!---------------------> American born in da Deustcheland: Weisbaden

OMG it is!!! I have a border collie too! She lives with my parents though. I love that dog, even though she is an incarnate of Satan. It's cool that everyone from around the world comes together to discuss our "Xtreme" (LOL) PCs.Quote:

LOL everyone was born in Germany: my dad was in the Air Force then, but not anymore. Pretty crazy, how we live on the opposite ends of the globe.
hmm ...
i have with my sapphire x1950pro little points ....
3DMark05 = 8734
3DMark06 = 4878
with my D805 @ 3,5GhZ and my card @ 600/1400 .... why so a little score ?
No, that is totally fine! As long as it isn't the Ultimate. I had the Sapphire model before I RMAd it for the HIS. I had some VRM overheating issues. Kain has the Sapphire model as well. My scores were right around yours with my Sapphire. You may want to look into getting some RAMsinks for the VRMs, as well as a Zalman VF900 for it, or some water cooling.
yes nice andQuote:

LOL yea it is off topic. Well, border collies are the best. I aim to get one as soon as I move into a house, as I live in an apartment right now.
Now to on topic:
anyone tried the new Rivatuner with our cards memory yet? OCing, that is.
I have tried to change memory timings. First with ATITool , no change, then with Rabit 2.2.0.
Rivatuner and ATITool reads timings like this
$0900000109 tCL , CAS latency : 13
$0900000108 tRC , Active to active : 35
$0900000110 tRCDR , RAS to CAS read : 12
$0900000120 tRCDRA, RAS to CAS read with auto-precharge : 12
$0900000111 tRCDW , RAS to CAS write : 8
$0900000121 tRCDWA, RAS to CAS write with auto-precharge : 8
$0900000112 tRP , Row precharge : 10
$0900000114 tRRD , Row active to row active command : 10
$0900000115 tR2W , Read to write turnaround : 15
$0900000117 tW2R , Write to read turnaround : 12
$0900000119 tR2R , Read to read turnaround : 6
These are so slow!
Edit: 775 Mhz @ crashes. Upgrading to Core2Duo Platform would cost me 590 €. Would it be reasonable as I now have singlecore CPU and I don't play games, I just overclock :banana::banana::banana::banana:. My 3500+ Venice is all ready at it's max. I think I would get 11000 in 05 and 6000 in 06 if I updated, so pretty expensive. Or do I just buy X1950XT and get 13000 3DMark05. Or another X1950 Pro? I have DFI NF4-D which won't run in Crossfire I suppose?
Anyone tried increasing the PCI-E bus speed for our OCs? I read somewhere that it helps for our cards.
you are rightQuote:

can't change them in bios :OQuote:

All good news! there is update to 27MHz memory step: actually the memory frequency can be changed in 6.75MHz steps. for example if you have now reached 783MHz the next step will be 783.00+6.75=890 but not 789 (eg. rounded). btw you can use ATI Tray Tools with driver level method enabled - this gives no stucks black screens. to use it you must enable "overclocking limit" and set it to 200-300% in tool settings - this gives up to 2000(DDR) memory frequency setting range. but there is an issue with driver which prevents correct memory frequency to be set. look what i set and then what i get:
set/result
1080/432
432/864
1296/864
1512/1296
1566/1404
1620/1512
1647/1566
1674/1620
1674/1620
1687,5/1647
1710/1687,5
1714,5/1701
864/1714,5
so you can find set/result values for your needs or just use RivaTuner as i described above but be an accurate to avoid black stuck screens.
Happy New Year coming!
Very nice work gaf...:banana: :toast: :banana: :toast: :banana:
