I have noticed that I can clock my 5950 higher with the sk8v than with the sk8n or the leadtek k8nw-pro.

Where the heck is the pci/apg lock on the SK8V?
What timings/voltage are you running on Corsair TwinX 3200 RE LL ?
Nvidiot, sorry to say there ain't none. :(Quote:

Check out www.anandtech.com and look at his socket 940 mb review. They have a really sweet SK8V bios (1002.12 and .18) that have 1/2 mults and all sorts of adjustments. Figures they rave about the board and we cannot get access to the bios they used.
Hey OPP do you have 1002 or just 1001?
This is a chipset limitation, a BIOS cannot magically introduce these.Quote:

It has been this way with all Via chipsets since they were born.
jason,
thank you for your comparsion. Just as i though, VIA board is quite faster in system tests... but it's slower in Drago's?! do you think it has something to do with unlocked agp bus?
Probably something to do with faster GART driver on NF3 or lower latency...
Looking forward to seein your FX5950+NF3 results. I'm curious myself not that FX5950 is faster than ATI but i'm wondering if it's "optimised" for nVidia chipset...
also jason, make sure it's a "RE" memory not "R". i can tell you it will work even at 4V according to my friend's naser testing. it can do 263fsb 1:1 at around 3.3V rock stable, haven't really tried higher since i didn't want to bench at anything lower than 11.5x multi. But for some reason, 11.5x263 is as fast as 12x252 so it makes me think the overall cpu speed+tight timings is the way to go as the LDT freq. increases with multipler.... i mean come on, 252fsb should be way slower than 263 especially at almost identical cpu speed.
Is ATI ever gonna relese there 64-Bit drivers?! they're kinda slow when it comes to drivers.
strange cos it's not capped for me.Quote:
On thing about vdimm on this is the mod everyone is using on the sk8v is maxing out at 3.3v reardless of VR setting or 3.3v line like its capped off or somehting.. weird...

Err, wouldnt it be better to bench on a OS which will utilize the full CPU capabilities? Since afterall, it is 64bit
Yeah if you want database server benchis..Quote:

I use 1002.19 not a lot better than 1001. The ½ multi can you get in clockgen or other software. No big deal.:rolleyes:Quote:

Nice improvement on MArk03 by OPP
at 9535 now with 648GPU! :toast:
I need to start benching with 9800SE AIW LOL =)
Its clocking a lot better than my XT (SE does 540GPU aircooled).
1. macci is getting an fx but not till the 939 socket comes out.
2. the 9800se, well if he can mod it and slap his prometeia, it could look promising if he can hit 650 on the core
3. isnt OPP now first place in BOTH 2001 and 2003
Isn't the SE slower than the other 9800's at the same speeds? If so, maybe it's something Ati has done on purpose or something.Quote:

I havn't even heard of the SE myself :D

ATI SE = Slow edition :p:
he he, must be cheap:DQuote:

macci had a backup. well... atleast one... who knows? ;)
@OPP- the SE's are about $30 cheaper then the non-pro's i think.
The 9800SE is basically an equivalent to 9500np with R350 core. Like the 9500 it comes with both 128 and 256 bit bus. On some you can enable the 4 disabled piplelines which makes it a 9800 "non SE" (if it's 256 bit), but from what I've seen it performs worse, unlike the 9500 > 9700.
And "SE" does actually stand for "Slow Edition", doesn't it?
i actually thought it ment "special edition"
but i found this while searching, and thought it funny. ;)
:lol:Quote:
Got a good laugh from that.
Maybe it doesn't mean that, WTF do I know. I don't care anyway. :)
well... its all relative to the 9200 series i guess. ;)
Me too i was thinking it was special edition the start but now i know its meen "slow equivalant"...LOL. JKQuote:
