can any one estimate 8 cores running @ 2.5ghz worst case scenario for a cpu score cause i got my board back but its flashed for quads and i am seeing reports that they dont like sub temps. or should i just flash the board back to the k8 bios and look for high bin F3s?:confused:
btw boogle:up: :rofl:
Should be easy, find a stock Skulltrail system in ORB, and divide the CPU result by two.
just a small bump to update
come on guys someone has to hit 18k before i do it:D
All stock,
posting so that people can have a rough idea what to expect
from the new 4850 without "leaping ahead" to much:rofl:

WinXP 32 sp3
Phenom 9850 Butchers EDition-stock:eek::p:
overclock that sucker...
Damn, that card is a monster:eek:. I only hit like 12K (might be 12.4K too) in 3DMark06 using OC'd HD 3870 CF (not as high as they're now, they were at ~830Mhz or so). Was on stock CPU clocks too...
Now where's the HD 4870, definately going to get two of those:shocked::D
I think I can see 2x 4850 or depending on price 2x 4870 accidently falling into my machine. Oh the travesty. And if I get frisky... perhaps 3x might somehow happen. (Well after I get rid of this Gigabyte DS5 and get a board that actually works.)Quote:

Have not played any games but looking at the Texture fill rate (2 times higher)
compared to 38xx I am optimistic.Better gDDR3 that Daamit is using now
doesn't hurt either
I believe that 4870 is about 2 weeks away as gDDR5 is so new.
Does anyone know of any tools to overclock the 4850 besides Cat. ? (which "only" goes to 700mhz, but very stable mind you)
how far does your cpu clock to compare to your old score?Quote:

Note that all my results are done with a non-optimized OS (since I don't really know which optimizations to do for 3dmark, haven't really been 3dmarking before...). And also the overclock is simply made by raising the multiplier, so for example NB is at stock speed.
Very nice score.... !!! I'm happy enough with my 4850's even though I was tempted to get 4870's the purse strings were a bit too tight...LOL.Quote:

The 8.7 Beta has display driver v8.52 whereas the offical 8.7 has display driver v8.51
But official 8.7 has the latest version of Control Center, so you have to mix'n'match to get a combinatin of the 2 to get the latest version of both DD and CCC. I did a custom install of the beta 8.7 and the official 8.7, and selected only the respective components from each...!!!

What are temps like on your OC's guys..????
Especially after adding the 48xx cards....!!
I saw my mobo temp go up about 10C, I added a new 23cm fan sidepanel now and its brought it down a bit....
Before the 4850 it was at 34C, then went up to 43-44C with the 4850's, and now its down to about 37-38C... though on a warm day it gets back above 40C again....
So looking at getting 2 x YS-Tech FD1225 120mm 105CFM fans, for front and rear, to help with cooling... as I noticed that if I open the front panel of my Thermaltake Soprano case that the mobo temp drops down to 34C, I think the current front intake fan a Thermaltake Thunderblade 120mm is struggling to pull air through the venitlation slots in the front panel....
I was thinking of getting a Delta FFB1212EHE fan but at 59dB its a bit too loud...LOL.. but the 190CFM is tempting...!!!
EDIT: Just looked at the compare URL now for your Vantage P score, and I still can't figure out why my Stream Out and GPU Particles tests are scoring lower, when compared to a single card.... its the second time I've seen it now...thats why I asked for your Vantage score, most of the ORB results to compare to are basic results so havn't got the feature tests to compare, so I wanted to see if it was a common issue....!!! So thanks for posting your compare URL... :up:
Anyone know what could be causing the stream out and GPU Particles Tests to score low on a Crossfire setup, compared to a single card..???
.
.
.
I wouldn't know other than my singe GPU is faster than your single GPU, so if the tests won't use both GPUs that would explain something.Quote:

Which is why I wanted to see if it was just a one-off or not..!!
He's using same mobo, CPU at 2.5Ghz, single 4850, same OS Vista 64-bit, only siginificant difference is that hes got 8GB of RAM to my 4GB of RAM, but I can't see that that would matter....!!!
The compareURL for the single 4850 is: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=226675
You can see I socre higher in all other tests but am way, way lower in the GPU particles, and Steam Out tests.... and its not a small amount either, 10FPS less in the Stream Out and 20 FPS in the GPU Particles....
Heres a pic of mine (Green) compared to his (red):http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k2...GPUPArtpic.jpg
EDIT: ACtually looking at it, his single 4850 scores @ 2.5Ghz for those tests are even higher than your single 4870 scores @ 3.2Ghz..... He's getting:
Single 4850 and Phenom @ 2.5Ghz
Stream Out = 27FPS
GPU Particles = 52FPS
Yours:
Single 4870 and Phenom @ 3.2Ghz
Stream Out = 20FPS
GPU Particles = 35FPS
How is that.... I'd love to know, ??????
That is weird, unless he has some LOD or mipmap tweaks (I'm running everything at stock). But, looking at that score really makes me wonder as that has a score of around 1000 better than mine while on paper it should be way less (unless it is really a crossfire result and the "linked display adapters = no" is detected wrong).Quote:

Edit: Also he seems to be running different drivers than I am (from what I've read, the catalyst 8.7 drivers I use are not the best performing ones for Vantage).
I know....its odd isn't it... I thought simialr and tried setting mipmap quality in CCC to Performance rather than the Quality setting it was on... I gained about 3FPS on those tests, but that was all.... !!!Quote:
That is weird, unless he has some LOD or mipmap tweaks
I think your right and that he must have Crossfire enabled, as his overall score is similar to my lowest Crossfire score which was P10014 and the FPS for the other tests seem to correspond to that score.... but even in that run, my Stram Out and GPU Patricles were again about half of what he's scoring...!!!
I'm just wondering if there's some setting I'm not applying correctly in the BIOS or something... I mean generally my overall score is higher so its no big deal really, I'm jsut wondering if theres an element that I can improve on, it could be that changing the configration of the cards in the BIOS woud increase those scores but reduce everything else giving a lower overall score....
At least thats what I'm guessing at the moment.... I think he may have 2 cards, but maybe he has them set-up in a peer-to-peer configuration in the mobo BIOS and thats why its not showing up as being linked adapters in 3dm06..... I might try and test that theory later on....!!! Its a real mystery to me otherwise...!!!!
Anyone else have any ideas...???????
By LOD and Mipmap tweaks I mean these:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=114
...and these:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=118
Not the tweaks in CCC.
Especially the mipmap tweaks are considered plain and simple cheat by me.
I don't use either.

I don't think I'll try it.... !!

Really says it all.
Yes I think its safe to say that running it in that fashion woud be cheating.... at least I think so anyway..!!
I'm not sure its the case for this score though, as I don't think that either ATI Tool, ATITray Tools, or RivaTuner support RV770 as of yet, unless theres some other way to manipulate the drivers thats been done.
Not even any of the current Betas support rv770 at least none that I've been able to find....
But its interesting to find out about that cheat... I read the discussion thread as well, and I don't think that it being available means its a tweak and not a cheat, if your running the benchmark in a way that reduces the specification fo the benchmark then to my mind thats a cheat...
The point of tweaks is to optimise your SYSTEM to run the benchmark as best it can not to reduce the visual quality to enhance the performance of the benchmark....
I think that it stinks...IMHO..!!!!! and anyone who uses it stinks too....!!!
But I'll not discuss it further in this thread as it has its own thread..... but wanted to reply here to thank you for sharing the info...!!!

I never thought about putting a 3850 in the system...I fugured it wouldn't do well being in a 8x slot and the fast it was a 3850, plus My psu is about to crap..
I think i might unbox them and see what happens....
guys what would you think.. 2x4850 or 1x4870 1gb.. not only for benching.. i tend to get the 4870 1gb..
I would say 4870.. then you can always add another latter if you need it. Plus the 4870 is fast enough for todays games...But i dunno about the 1gig version.. What is the price difference..?
Well I had 2 * 4850 and changed to a single 4870. Haven't regretted changing.Quote:
