YEa my X800Pro run on A64 mobo might have been very unoptimal - the OS was full of drivers - AMD and Intel and ATI and nVidia etc :DQuote:
also Macci, your nature fps is very low.
But I think that this one is quite ok :D

Yeah i noticed 03 tends to favor the P4 for some reason.
Maybe something has been pushed to far and ended up slowering down core clock or memory can do this, temds to be the memory clock mind.Quote:

i realize numbers are abstract, or maybe you posted the wrong pic, but how did you get 32.8k = 38k?Quote:

Look what Jason got so far! I had predicted he will break 38k, everyone laughed at me, but I am right :banana: also Macci, your nature fps is very low. Jason's x800 pro is at 550MHz core and hes 5fps shy of your 700MHz core. He could break 300fps on his x800 pro!!!!!!
God Ti4200, can you just stop with your damn predictions? Really, no one cares. Until you get a 38k by yourself, stop predicting this and that... jesus.
As for macci, good lord thats sweet!

Jasons x800 pro is still air cooled and he has not maxed out his fsb, ram nor cpu. Hes got another 150MHz clocks on his x800xt that hes gonna hit once he superchills it. He gains about 1k marks per 30MHz overclock on the gpu. 150MHz should gain him 4 or 5k more and another 1k more from his cpu. my 38k estimate was quite conservative too.
glad to see u got ahold of these beasty x800's macci :D nice job man, these cards are awesome.
Nice work, i think ill start saving for one now :)
I think we all will...BUT...the race has only begun, and we haven't seen the results from the other side of the fence.Quote:

mhh well lets wait for nvidia cards, as i heard they will be alittle cheaper and they have ps 3.0 :D. don´t forget that. the x800xt is only another r300 but this time with 16 pipes and higher clocks. don´t think will be worth the money as long as nvidias card reaches the same speed:rolleyes:
The XT seems to do a lot better with AA and AF, and I would get it over the 6800 ultra for that reason even if the Nvidia benches a bit higher. AA and AF is where its at in games.
i wouldnt mind having one of those cards. unbelieveable scores.
Its kind of useless for game manf's to implement PS/VS 3.0 code when only one line of video cards will be capable of using it..
next gen is where we will see it. I believe that was the hint behind the Unreal 3 release date :/
well that doesnt really make it worthless... its kinda a good idea to me. If i got a 6800 id keep it for atleast 2 gen's . :cool:

Mark03 was all P4 stuff. I tried with A64 on NF3 but got clearly lower scores for some reason (GT1 was better on AMD, GT2-4 better on Intel - the difference in Nature for instance was around 10FPS!!).
If you look closely there is also CLockgen for IC7 series on the screenshot :D
I used the same WinXP installation for both platforms (I even had the NF3 chipset and nVidia display drivers installed on that system).
Here is a little pic gallery/article I just put together. For your viewing pleasure :D
Thanks, that explains it all. So you just built in a little headroom? :D
Nice pictures, I especially like

that's a like a doctor visiting a sick patent .. everything for lightness ( assume dual cascade system would have got stuck on the baggage conveyor belt at the airport). As Fugger mentionedf before when he was showing off his and Chilly's P4 EE at a show, doing this at home is one thing, doing it in a difereent environment is another ..lots of things to consider . So even more kudus for this !
Why the trupower and not the trucontrol ..or is it modded ?
Have you gone to OCZ EB and left your old 2-5-2-2 BH5 stuff behind ???
Like the briefing documents .. now those are the type of documents I could spend hours leafing through.
The actual 2001 scores are actually not that impressive if you consider the vpu core overclock looks like ATi definitely moving on to shader power and leaving texture power behind, hence the fantastic 03 result. They say nvidia favour old sttyle textures still, ie 2001 !
Nice to know that cpu's now make a difference in 03, getting to be like 2001 is, a system test. Shame it favours intel though considering latest offereings from Intel and AMD
The worse, most expensive, case scenario is that you need AMD and nvidia for 2001 and Intel and ATi for 03 :eek:
Well that's only $1500+ of course, plus a small amount for X800XT and 6800U Extreme ..
Cough,

Andy,
As far as 2001 goes I think that ATI will be a bit stronger there (according to Hexus review for instance).
The reason why the score improvement in % is nowhere near the Mark03 jump is the fact that its so system speed limited test now.
On normal systems (lets say 3.5GHz P4 and down) only Nature test is not 100% system speed limited. Clocking my X800XT card from 525/575 to 555/575 only gave an improvement of 92Marks (and all came from Nature)!
We need 3.5GHz A64s with huge bandwidht to see the real power of these cards in 2001 :D
I've been useing the 3.3V modded Truepower for a while now and it has done the job nicely.Quote:

I have loads of BH5 left - was just testing the OCZ stuff. Both are very good. OCZ runs better with lower voltage.

Love the beers :)
I killed an Abit Kv8 MAX3 when I span in my chair quickly and some beer flew out of the glass and landed on the board which was sitting on the floor doing a bench :rolleyes:
"Clocking my X800XT card from 525/575 to 555/575 only gave an improvement of 92Marks (and all came from Nature)!"
Sigh, oh dear, I hear the bells ringing in the distance and a knocking at the door from a hand that is bone not flesh....

omFg dude, that is just plain sickness ... :D
thinking of my 209 3DMark03 score on my GeForce 2 pro right now ... :)
what are u trying to say? 3dmark01 is on its way out?
Sadly yes :(Quote:

When you go from 525Mhz core to 700+ which is 30% and you get a 10% increase the writing is on the wall.
Which is a shame as you cannot stop 3dmark03 between games and it only has 4 tests not 8 so does not show as well differences in cpu, FSB and gpu speeds in the overall nature of things.
Why is there not a GT1,2 and 3 high and low in 03 ?
Maybe need to email worm.

Yeah I agree with you zakelwe but in the same light 03 is too GFX intensive. Okay I know it is a GFX benching tool but the reason why I still love 2001 is it has a great blend of CPU/FSB and GFX benchmarking.
01 it is more `tweakable` than 03 and takes more skill to get higher scores IMO. Maybe I`m missing something but 01 is still my best benchmarking program :up:
yup, wait till Macci gets those things on triple phase cascade at his house! then we'll probably see some exciting action.
yeah true zakelwe... but we are seeing possibilities of whole system clocks helping with 03 now that we have such awesome video cards. and just like u somewhat mentioned, i too think 03 could be improved if they released an 03 SE which allowed you to stop during tests and also had low tests which focused more on whole system specs.
