You beat me with 4850 and Tri-Core Phenom!
Nice one :up:
I would need that new secret chip of yours to beat that score on AIR ;)
Can you borrow it chew*?
What the heck! I cant break 21k! 3dmark 06 really loves a high cpu clock, Im convinced.
2x hd4870's @825/1110 cpu@ 3712ghz
Edit: Is there any tweaks any of you would like to share, am I doing something wrong?

Well what has work for me (i'am not nearly as good at overclocking as most the people on this board are) would be to add one more video card . It can help out to a point if you can not clock your cpu as high as the other guys. I do think the 3 4870 set-up is better than 2 4870x2 are and 4870x2 + 4780 . You also need the NB in the 2600 + range .I made my 22,137 point run with my 3850s @2700+ NB clock and the red ring on in AOD . Dam one more thing i also had to change over to 32-bit vista as well (help with my cpu overclocks).
raiderman, PM charged, ask him to forward the PM I sent him.
Thanks chew*!
The thing is, I am seeing 2 x 4850's getting better scores with the same clocks?? Thats why I am getting frustrated.Quote:

Only way I could do it was from a clean install of Win7.. I'm not looking forward to the next Cat release, I don't fancy having to do a clean install just for a gfx driver update once a month..!!!
Other than that the only thing I can suggest is look at increasing NB and HT as high as you can, in addition to the CPU clocks....!!
I had to squeeze every last mhz out of mine to get 20717... I know I'll never break 21K without adding another card for tri-CF..!!
I don't think that my 940BE can get any higher, I may try max volts later on and see if I can get any more from it, but so far, I've gone up to 1.528v or thereabouts and it wouldn't do 3.9Ghz.... so I'm thinking it will take a big voltage jump to get it any higher...!!
Charged.. still waiting on those settings..:) I'd love to see if I can get to 3.9Ghz somehow...!!
My latest run.. Windows 7 64bit, cat. 9.1
nm,
Getting better....http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=10022949

NOTE: I didn't take a screenshot... but you can see the results at: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9999437
EDIT: (Now I have to work on cooling so I can get the cards and CPU overclocked a bit more. Or maybe I just need to splurge for that Danger Den case and 4x120 cooling system I've been drooling over.)
The only reason I post screen shot is because people ask about voltages and NB and HTT speeds, it just to save time of typing them out laterQuote:

A lot of that extra cooling turns out to do nothing unless you push/pull cooling properly across the box
I found one 120 exhaust/one 80 in worked better then three 80 exhaust/three 80 intake and a lot quieter too.
If you can't push/pull properly across the box your just wasting money
I prefer a higher exhaust(pull), it creates a "vacuum effect", it has to take in more cooler air
If you do higher intake (push) you end up recirculating the hot air in the case unless you can exhaust the air at the same rate
I found out you have take each case at it own merits how to do push/pull system
screen shoots are good but typing out specs help me to update quicker

There a second agend, other people wishing too pushing their system as hard as they can, getting tidbits of information this thread
Not many have courage to keep up a thread like this.
No disrespect intended

Will do!Quote:

not real happy with these 4870x2's. 3 4870 trifire scored almost the same.
You'll get better number in Vantage tho...even a third card does not add a lot in 06Quote:

That clock+that voltage+3dmark06 is that for real?:stick:Quote:

the volts are wrong its about 1.7 and this was just a dirty run as i was trying to beat dumo score but was running out dice. im still learning phenom now add ddr3 so you see i have a lot of work to doQuote:
