But looks still lie a "bad card"...:(
Had same issues with 98GX2 (!):

Interesting: also in AM3 and Crysis GPU-benchmark with GX2...

Please explain step by step how you do PSU off?
Here is what I tried:
1) Shut down Windows normally, click on/off button behind PSU, removed ATX-connector & power cable, put them back -> booted system
2) Clicked off button from PSU while system was in Windows, clicked it back on and booted system.
No help :(
I would be happy with +810 GT2 FPS :)
- Shut down OS
- turn PSU off
- wait few seconds
- turn PSU on
- start system
But it works not always...
Well i spent another 40L+ today testing single card '03 :(
Same exact card with the exact same OS/driver gets 102K on air at 860/1020 4800MHz
On LN2 anywhere from -30C to -70C it got almost 104K with the same clocks but 6150MHz
As soon as i bump the clock to 870 core, my score goes haywire regardless of volts!
My 102K run which i consider "normal" gets:
1- 1407
2- 927
3- 720
4- 625
If i run 870 core with plenty of volts and temperature (but much higher CPU), it goes crazy on the last 3 tests :( For example from my bucketload of similar results:
1- 1705
2- 920 :(
3- 729
4- 585 :( :( :(
I am totally baffled by this behviour.
Even if i run 950/1020 my nature still stays 'stuck' at 585<->588, and my GT2 still underruns
Used same single card for a while now. Have had low and high scores with the card on both XP and Vista and al drivers i tried. Most of the scores were lows with a high one as an exception every now and then.
Today installed cat 8.10's on me XP and Vista. With XP i can only get high, tried reboot, pwr on/off etc etc but always 95k:

On Vista once low and all of the others high again :confused:

Dont know whats goin on but never had this many high ones. I am sure its not just driver but everything else is stil same. XP sp2 and Vista sp1, card stock air, room ~20, fan 40% as always. Card stock 790/915 and CCC set to performance. Now trying to get low one again.
cpu 5900,Asus TOP 855/980 GT2 953fps,GT3 760 fps...BUT at 1 of 3 times i have to re-run 03 to have normal fps..
loc.o power fluctuations in your neighbourhood? This sounds more and more like a voltage issue... We need someone to try different power supplies :yepp:
Tried both the pcp&c 1200 and Zeus 750. Everything runs fine on both of them, if its power issue its something on the actual card.
Power issues were covered in the first 5 or so pages I think.
Think i found what is causing my weirdly bugged scores under cold.
It seems that Riva is not properly setting the speeds.
After flashing up to 870/1020 (instead of 800/1000 then Riva'ing up) they are where they should be again :)
From now on im just gonna hard flash all my clocks (at every single setting).
I tried Catalyst 8.10, no help
PSU trick several times, no help
re-ran 03 several times, no help
dead end for me :|
Try overclocking the fsb very slowly; start at 333 and move up to 450 in small steps, like I did in these tests. Somehow, I induced the good runs by overclocking.
CHANGE THEM.........Period........ ;)Quote:

he is saying there is no tricks or help for his cards
he just has to go find some that are going to score high FPS :D

I guess its GPU problem
My MSI 4870X2 is piece of crap :(
I can feel your "pain" M8.... :(Quote:

Just went through this ENTIRE thread.
This is one of the wierdest bugs I've seen; really sucks for people that get "bad" GPU's.
I would just expect them to be bad in everything not just '03....
Got the volt mod sorted on my card today. Had fun for a short while up to 890 core, but am now in the low score crew. Bugger:mad:
Edit:
Reinstalled Catalyst. Started up with my 24/7 oc of 4.5ghz on the 8600. My High scores in GT2 are back.
Went back to an OC of 580x9 (5.2ghz) and low scores again in GT2 of 815. This is at 890/970
Returned to my 4.5ghz OC. Ran again at 890/970 this time 929
Not sure what this means at the moment, but just sharing.

I wonder if it could be the .NET service having an issue? .NET services are supposed to become more efficient each time they are run so possibly each time CCC is starting it could be switching between different internal code paths.
I dislike CCC by the way ;)
Not sure Steve, i dont have .NET or CCC installed and still get bugged runs above certain clocks.
