i'm wondering, why my gpu does 30000 and more points on the vantage... is that because i'm running the gpu at 980/990mhz? on the performance i get 7646P .... is that ok?!

i'm wondering, why my gpu does 30000 and more points on the vantage... is that because i'm running the gpu at 980/990mhz? on the performance i get 7646P .... is that ok?!
So doesn anyone know when the Marvell Controller update is coming? Is there a way to force flash the controller?
I guess spoolin' was just a bit amazed that you appeared to expect to score similarly in 2 totally different graphics benchmarks.
Everywhere people have been posting about how low they are scoring in '11 vs vantage/06 etc and asking why etc, because they are used to scoring high in outdated benchmarks with new hardware. He just thought you'd have seen it is all.
i've read again my post ..... wasn't clare, btw i tought that when i said P7646 would understand that i was talking about the 3dmark2011
& spoolin didn't get what i've asked! .....
Seriously my post got deleted? Lol it was THAT bad? Haha I have seen worse BS being said in this thread but MY comment gets removed. Okay.
Whoever did it at least have the balls to explain why and own up to it. Why no PM explaining the reason? Get one very quickly if I'm trying to sell something and don't follow guidelines :rolleyes:
BTW I understood what you were asking very clearly. Exactly like Cryptik said you are one of those people on the net wondering why you are scoring so low in 3d11 compared to vantage. Anyways, Cryptik is right on point. I'm seriously amazed by how little people know in regards to what they are doing. I think a serious overclocker should know or at least be able to figure out these type of things. When 3dmark 11 was released I already expected to score lower than I did in Vantage.

so hope you understand, DX11 hardware is backward compatible.
Direct X 10 GPU cannot run 3DMARK 11 (dx11).:down:
This. I just spent the entire weekend trying to just install Windows, I didn't know about this infamous problem until about 40 mins ago. It's been nothing short of a nightmare, I wanted to kick my new rig through the wall. I thought it was me being stupid or something, and come to find out... Sigh... :(Quote:

Apparently the next BIOS should address this issue is what I've heard, but Asus is very late fixing this problem. Other companies have had it covered for months now. Having the Gene, you should expect a BIOS after the R3E BIOS is released.
Typical Asus though, seems like "do a lot of things badly" is their motto these days. I think I can speak for everyone when I say I wish they'd do less, but do it well. I don't want 50 motherboards for each socket, I want a few to choose from, but with good support. To have a ROG product lag so far behind the competition shows they are just stretched too thin and can't focus.
that's obvious ...... :up:Quote:

I bought some Mushkin Ridgeback Redline 3x2GB 1600mhz 6-8-6-24-72-1T to see if I can go higher with less dense memory.
Hopefully it will be here wednesday!
Agreed. I'm pissed that I have a $2500 paperweight if I wanted to use the SATA 6Gb. When I get home tonight I might try to load up on the Intel controller, but after seeing Gigabyte and MSI corrected the problem for their boards back in OCTOBER.... there's no reason we should still be waiting.Quote:

I've got those and they work perfect for me now, when I installed them th first time the rig wouldn't post but a bios update fixed that.Quote:

Its in French and sometimes difficult to manage (thanks to the fine print and awful translations, lol) but its the first place I go for updated drivers/bios's.Quote:

Any one tried the new 1207 bios?
I have some problems with my board and a 970 that cant go past 178 mhz blck without crashing all the time.
I haves tested the cpu in another board and the cpu did 252 mhz blck max so was hoping that this bios will fix my problem.
I had no issues with the 970 over 235Bclock ( no slow mode ) and bios 0704
Whoa, ordered memory on saturday, and it arrived here today!
Now posting with 3x2GB 1600MHz 6-8-6-24-72-1T! Uncore at 2x! ~77GFlops.
Dropped QPI from 1.35 to 1.3v and it's still happy!
1207 bios
The two issues i had was it messed my ram up running 2,000mhz. And the second one as you mentioned my higher bclk running seemed to just go away also. Just got another board for testing, so i shall see what this one does.
Wy the 1600 and not the 2kQuote:

Thats ok, but my Geils do 1600 Mhz @ 6-7-6-18-72-1T with 1.59v Dram, and 1.275v QPI with 6 modules :pQuote:

I'm gonna leave it at 3.8 Ghz while I wait for the I7 970 price to reduce some more.
Just preliminary testing... I'll shoot for your timings since it's the same chips.Quote:

1.35v qpi(unoptomized) with 1.8x Uncore.
Anyone looking to upgrade to the new R3BE? I see it's available now for around $600. Hefty price :$. Well I guess it's because of the dedicated sound card and headphones.
I think you must have much better chips, mine are really old elipda somethings. THey dont much like going over 1900 Mhz on the R3E.Quote:

Good to know! I'll add them to my "save" list. :)Quote:

I haven't heard back from him about his direct experience though. I don't want to wait "two weeks" a.k.a. indefinitely.
