the out side temps tonight will be -1c :) :) :)
Hehe..Bill & I just finished another session together, my place this time (no wife :ROTF: )
Despite certain.. hindrances (this :banana::banana::banana::banana:ING POS ASSUS mobo seriously can't do more than 212 BCLK.. SERIOUSLY!) we managed to get a decent single card 06 score with the 5870 on air, and a pretty nice PCMark 05 run :toast:
We will have to repeat these runs though, as we were running ridiculously low CPU mhz on SS (1,3V LOL) due to the stupid mobo not being capable. :S I am confident we can beat 25-26k PCMark06 ;)
The CPU is good for at least 4,8 3D on SS, if not more.
Too bad you didn't still have your i7 975, you'd rock some scores with that SS unit! :up:Quote:

1.3v CPU benching? :rofl:
I had the 5850 so I decided to bench it... wasn't optimized at all and my AM3 and 3dm01 scores were obtained in Windows 7.... :(Quote:

Have to get the laptop back up and running soon (hopefully this week) with the new CPU in it and there'll be some more boints with it! :up:
Also need to run my Q9650 up again.... I'm losing ground... :D
Have a P4 524 that I can bench on H2O after I get done with the Q9650...
Keep it coming! :cool:
Yeah, exactly my feelings.Quote:

:up: , going to NYC for a week starting next monday morning taking off from amsterdam!
After this im finally going to get a cpu and dewar and start benching again, way to long ago i fired up the classie!

teamwork at its best :D
yesterday was linuxfan and _Datura_ with cups...hey linuxfan..good going with the cups, is that an asus board? asus has some nice oc utility.
now its loonym jcool and mellowyellow :) jcool really pushing hard
team total : 7140pts woooo
@thijs -----------may the itch of benching be with you --LOL
@all i've been talking with v2-v3, guy just got 180L of ln2...and i was less than 10mi from his place...but i had to go back to my place which is 3hrs away...i will be working with him in the near future, ln2 benching will be exciting :)... its gonna be hard getting time though..work has been delaying fun times.
i'm using my netbook..so dont mind the crappy screenshot lol
DAM
GJ jcool
Now i just wait for more hardware
The 5850 was an XFX card... I used the AMD GPU clock tool with the MSI Aterburner and it worked fine.... ;)Quote:

Yeah, I have, on my reference design Club3D card it works just fine (but doesn't change the fact that raising VGPU doesn't help with the clocks on mine.. AT ALL - no matter which util I use)
Hi guys, excellent results for the team!
I'm busy till the end of the month so I'll be back benching latter on.
Are you guys aware of the optimizations hidden on the 3DMark exe files (renaming them)?
We should put a list down here or in PM so we know when to run and what to rename the modified *.exe files and how to obtain the best results.
thanks 4870x2 is still a go then ..Quote:

I just know 1 for 3DMark01 if you're running dual core gpu's.
But I heard EVERY 3DMark test have these secret enhancements...
I wasn't aware of that either, interesting.
BTW guys, anybody got any clue about an issue with 3D05 I am seeing?
I cannot for the life of me get that :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing bench to finish when overclocked. The PC just reboots during the 2nd CPU test (Proxycon) - WTF?! Setting is primestable, and runs all the other benches just fine :(
I increased Vcore but that doesn't help. If I lower the CPU mult to like 17x it works - what the hell?!
I have seen the same issue on another board with another CPU as well. I could never get that crappy bench to complete properly.
Why do you want to run CPU tests in 3Dmark05? Only the 3 GPUs tests are required for a valid result. :shrug:Quote:

Once the CPU test comes up press escape. It will end the CPU tests and you should still get the score.:up:
Dude... THANK YOU! Kinda embarrased I didn't think of that myself, it's so obvious :shakes:Quote:

Also, in case there are any other n00b benchers like me around: 3D05 is faster with HT off :yepp:
While we're at it: How on earth do I get 3D03 to produce a valid result? I can't make any of my 03 results public in the ORB. I am guessing this is because it doesn't recognize the CPU (shows unknown and 0Mhz). Ideas anyone?
Wasn't there like an April 2008 futuremark hotfix that fixed a bunch of things? Do you have any hotfixes installed? There was a way to fix that. :up:Quote:

I installed that hotfix.. still no dice. :(
Thats too bad.Quote:
