P5K Vanilla + E6850 + 2900XT = 3dMark01 94972 Marks

let's see what happens with 7.9 drivers :)

If it was done at ONLY 4900MHz, then the WHOLE bench is buged......From Car Low to Nature.......EVEN if you play with LOD 10 or 15 (as it seems in the screenie) you can't gain more that what you'll gain with LOD 3 - 3.3 ...... As a matter of fact, you will lose if you play with LOD 15 than LOD 3..... :)

Also at the screenie with the 5xx fps of the Nature, there should be over 800+ fps to finally get 1200 fps..... ;)

Ah, I've never seen LOD like this before, sorry for being a noob!
I used LOD +5 last night and had huge gains but nothing near what is being seen here.... Have also discovered playing with open services for the drivers can result in really weird bugged runs (up and down) Until we actually get a working driver it's hard to tell where it's act. meant to be though.

I see that the first score can't be published because of CPU variation.

Looks like system instabilities might have lead to timer issues leading to this score.

In any case it should be removed, because as hipro said the FPS shown is way too low to correspond to 1100+ average...

Dont go too high, 2900XT seem to do better with a little less LOD compared to X1950XTX at least.

thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions, im a fairly inexperienced 3d bencher and rely on alot of your advice...

in the interest of maintaining a fair and reliable hwbot and orb database i've revoked my result from orb and will not pursue a hwbot submission, we will have to put both runs down to being bugged, although i've been able to continuosly repeat this result over the past few days..

What happens if you use a low CPU speed?

This is pretty intriguing.

:up: yp

gautam, just scales slightly down, same kind of thing though, card is on water now and ive been running at 944/950'ish, @ 4.5ghz on ss last night the runs were still slightly over 90k

Eek

He stated that the fps were locked during that entire run.;)


I think he has a R700 in disguise :D

edit
Hipro, there is a difference between LOD 15 and mip forced to the lowest level, with the last one you will actually gain :)
