First test with 2900XT Crossfire in 3DMark 05. Cards are on stock cooler doing only 880/990MHz, 35k should be doable with more gfx power.

dam this is a nice score, cant w8 until u break 35k
wow...2900 is realy showing some power there...and on stock coolers:toast:
IMPRESSIVE SCORE KINC! :up:
One could wonder what it would be on 2x16x PCIe board and cards under some cold...:shocked:
Kinc you crazy bastard... Keep it up. :)
I wanna see 35 ;)
I know you can do it, if you won't I'm certain elmor will ;)
//Andreas
nice
compare to top of 2005 orb
8800gts sli 30045 3dmarks
8800 gtx sli 32966 3dmarks
8800 ultra sli 33605 3dmarks
the latest drivers (7.6) should give it a boost =)
hd2900xt 3dmark2005 score super good
don't worry there is always 7.7 etc. lol
awesome scores as always kinc. no doubt they will go much higher soon.
anyone else getting stuttering in 05 firefly test? costs me a bunch of frames right as it starts it is 145 then stumbles drops to abot 40 and back up to 100 plus. i wind up with 1000 frames in first 10 sec. but occasionally i get 1350 in first 10 seconds with no stutter but it isn't repeatable?
also in cpu test trolls lair frames drop to single digit when trolls are on screen but i get awesome framerate when they arent.
so i think there is some major improvements coming in future drivers.
yes... in Firefly 05-06, and GT3 for 3D05... a big stutter folowed by a big lost of fps... strangely at this point of the bench, the fps should be same.
I have the same problem. I have a fealing it decreases with higher PCI-E clocks, but it is so random that it is hard to know. Also LOD set to 15 seems to help against these slow downs.
I have the same stuttering. Default and increased PCI-E levels. So far it doesn't seem to be hampering scores significantly.
elmor and I have been benching a few days now struggeling with a bad QX6850. So we went back to P5W64 WS Pro and the good old QX6700.
Finally over 25k with 2900XT Crossfire :)
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2518519
Very nice result Marcus! :D
Is that the max the cards can run or is there some headroom left? The CPU is a great clocker for a QX6700. Even a Q6850 could not be that much better.
Alot of headroom :) Just need the software to run it. 5050MHz should work with this QX6700 on P5W64 afer some fine tuing of the voltage and temps. A good QX6850 for Blitz Formula SE or Blitz Extreme (with micron chips) would be the best. Blitz is really tight, the performence is quite alot better than 975X boards.
Nice job Kinc and Elmor, I can't wait to see what you can do with the new gpu pots.
Congrats Kinc! I'm even more anxious now to try '06. :D
say kinc and gautam what are u useing for cf OC'ing ?
Congratz guys!
As always amazing job :up:
PS. Is that run on Cat7.7? And what operating system is now best for CF actions??
Great :toast: ... as always ;)
//Andreas
Clocks via bios. Voltage by the vmods shamino explained in his R600 review. Still waiting for new catalysts to fix the CF oc problem. If there were a way to disable the 2d to 3d switching like with R580 it would be posible to use the latest atitool for overclocking cf.
First Nice score.. great job !!
I was not know we can't disable the 2D/3D.. so i think you talk about the hotkey poller and smart services?.. Like we have do with X1900-X1950XTX?.
We have tested with higher gpu clock now and it scales a lot in canyon flight! 30MHz more core with less mem clock gives 3.5 fps, wich is ~175 points in just that game test. It also adds about 1.5fps in game test 2 wich is ~90 points. With working oc software the cards would do 1150MHz core easy in CF, jsut as with a singel card configuration. 1.48V and 1080MHz runs so easy around -55C pot temp. Damn why cant overclocking ATI be as easy as NVIDIA :)
I think we all will have some exciting time with X38, 2900XT CF and a good QX6850.
Some results from me.

Nice :)
And still room left for improvement ... ;)
nice nice kinc
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...7540mark03.jpg
strange thing is that my core will go above 0°C load with cascade on it :s , have to use dubbel coldplate becaus off coldbug
so far so good, 1.35vgpu on the core ;)
Nice work again.. I was looking on the orb.. you are really close of take the 1st place...:up: :up:
M3kk, There's too a prob with the 2K6: 3D 06 show 4899mhz, CPU-Z 4400..
at 850/1050, 2900XT 512Mo + E6700 4.18ghz, i m at 13'335pnts on 3D06..
the score CPu is around 3650pnts.
You should have really more of that..
Omg Kinc you are so near to Shamino wr! Only 200 points !
looks good guys, u and elmor are a sweet team :D
06 screwed up, not enough nitrogen left. Those extra points for #1 would be within reach with higher gpu clock (1100 at only -50*C, but mem craps out in 06) and even easier with higher cpu.
We ran a quick 03 for fun: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5452493
Easier overclocking of 2900XT and HOF will look pretty sweet for AMD ;)
3Dmark report default multi x fsb bios (just like orthos for example). I do think 06 should be a bit higher though M3kk. For reference HD2900XT 512:

anyone wonna share which utilieties are used ,to do a costum biose? this not oc in cf is a pain.
It seems like 03 is more or less completely GPU memory bound. I was hoping to do around 85k myself with just 1k core...but those hopes were shattered as soon as I got to it, probably because my memory was just at 980 similar to you guys...if only we could get the memory up these cards could become a serious threat in 03 as well.
A few pics of the rigg.

Congrats Elmor and Marly! Those pictures just give the final polish to the scores, Dimas Bench table never looked better :D
It was with XP, thats a simple XP theme ( official ).
I dont know.. maybe, but i think the score is decent ..
I had no so much time to test this vga, so i ran once or twice every 3dmarks, and thats all..
As loc.o said, the 3dmark06 report with default multi ..
I attached the CPUZ there for the real cpu frequency ..
I know, that 2k6 score is low, but i ran the test twice and i got ~ same results :/..
Maybe it was from the OS, or from the drivers?
Or maybe I`m a cheater! LOL :D.
Sorry Kinc for OT :).
I will not say that.. the prob was not here.. i got 13335 with air 2900XT 512, E6700@4.2ghz.. i think there's something wrong here with the result you have. I m sure you can get better of that.. I know the driver with 1Go version is really not mature, It's same with 512Mo version, but i think the result will be with next driver increased. but it's a decent score..
:D Gratis! Awesome job! Keep it on!:eek: :eek:
Congrats on the 3DMark06 record! :toast:

2 down 2 to go :D nice work kinc :D
Indeed, those are some monster card clocks! :clap: Even I wasn't expecting to see ATi take the top of 06 for some time to come, and with "just" a QX6700 too.
incrediable R600CF first time take #1 3DMARK06 WR!! congrates, KINC!!
What kind of card temps were you running out of curiosity?
congrats kinc.. ati @ top the 0rb..:cool:
So Nice, i was sure you don't wanna let the WR at only some few 200 pnts..
Congrats, great works !!! :up: :up: :up:
Greats clock!!!
Nice job Kinc, it'd be nice to see what you can do with a gem cpu like Shamino's.
Thank you guys :)

One question, what driver have you use?.. and again congrats.
FM Approved 7.5.
I think this red little babe has been waiting for this a long time..
http://kinc.se/2900/roby.jpg
YAY!!! ATI on top in '06.... GRATS X2 Kinc!!
The rigg, condesation is really bad. I hope the summer goes by fast :)

That pic of Ruby is just priceless. Nice new avatar btw and really great work there ;)
sweeeet, these scores are unreal. i'm speechless!
P5W64 Pro shows it's power :o
Having the skill counts too of course :)
First
:shocked:
then
:eek2: :slobber: :nuts: :shock:
and so on!
This is simple AWESOME Kinc & Elmor!
Congratz! :up:
PS. I'm amazed by fact that you can counter any possible response by simply driver change! This will give couple of marks more for 05 and 06 without squeezing extra MHz....
I´ve been waiting for this. You have no idea how happy i am.:eleph: Congrats:rocker:
Absolutely terrific guys :clap:
Who would have thought this when it was so cool to bash HD2900XT, and to think there is more left :eek:
Shamino got pwned!
It seems the doctor didn't give him the right prescription!
Kinc you are god :D Glory to AMD!!!
grats marly, the graphics power of AMD showing finally in 06! :clap:
great stuff Kinc they don't call you a legend for nothing ;)
Is Elmor was with you for the second run?
amazing card power, great scores:clap:
Congrats !
AHH... scores keep rising... 1160MHz
25972!!
GO GO GO!!
Ouch!!!!
yes so close of the 26K.... next run you get it..
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2551377
Funny, this will give some good competition with ultra's SLI
The P5W64 is dead just like my last one. And with two other P5W DH, seems that some components within the power regulating area is giving in when running quad core at 1.8V+ or X6800 @ 2V :(
Next step now is to get a good QX6850 to run with Blitz.
Congratulate:eek: :clap: :clap: :up:
1,8 V :up:
Congratz KinC.
im so indecided in what to buy if 2900's or 8800ultra T_T.
The blitz actually has tighter performence then P5W64 WS Pro. Something I didnet think would happen until X38. The problem is that it do not want to overclock my QX6700 well, just like with p5k deluxe. This is rather a problem with the cpu than with the boards. Its a ES that aint reqonized correctly by all boards.
That or it's down to the voltage circuitry.
Personally i like the P5W64, i have try some board on I975X and Cfire and this one is the board have give me the best result with my little OC.. incredibly stable finally, even with high voltage or Voltmod.. Now, it's just bad the board look to will die with +1.8V and Quad...
It's why i wait a lot of the Blitz.. I hope it will just be a little bit better of the P5W64.. in this case, i go for one.
to bad to hear marcus , what happed to the board ?
when i readed that , it made me think of mine :p: . a quad + 1.72vcore and after 3 days or so it died , but i just blow out 3 mosfets :D

u can cleary see the white spots on the burnd one's
Hehe texts in 3DMark06 score window are completely messed.. also using PNG format is better than JPG. Have you tried a small program called Screenhunter, just press a key and it will save full screen: http://wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm
Anyway, great results once again and see you next week :)
