not much of a hit performance at all actually, maybe like 2-4oo pts. on 3dmark and not even noticable in games, as for the raid it has worked great for me since day one.

OMG! Crappy Nvidia drivers have cost me a couple thousand point difference with my 3dmark vantage graphics score. Cool this is the board that Im getting. Ive wanted this board for a while. Im sure that I can get a good price for my gtx260s. They clock pretty well. Ill get a couple of 4870s instead. Thanks for the reply. It'll be great to be done with Nvidia.Quote:

if you use crossfire i would presume your performance would be great...now, if you are like me where you need to use the 2nd 16x slot for a raid card or something else, the drop in video performacne will be around 5-6%...i measured that against a PCMark 2005 bench run on this board and then from a run on an X48 ddr3 board (at 16x) with the same video card at the same CPU MHZ and FSB.Quote:

just 1x. but i saw benches similar to mine @ 20k score. if i'm still into it i will try again later. took me quite a while to get 500fsb on quadQuote:

these will be posted on the first page once i upload to my website.
maybe you're right. i was hoping a 6.6k cpu score will let me hit 20k. i'll try it again when i have the time.Quote:

hmm that dont happen with me. maybe try re flashing the 7/11 sounds like a bios corruption issure to me.

post up your settings or go to the first page to review my bios settings.
if you saw scores that high why don't you ask them if the card is 2X or setup in a crossfire configuration...if they come back with a single card, then i would doubt the authenticity of the bench.Quote:

i will find a 4870 2x bench on the X48 ddr3 board and i will post up here shortly...i think his score was 17+ or 18+ for 3D2006.
EDIT:..i had to ask the guy who posted it previously...i cannot find it any longer.
DOUBLE EDIT:...after looking at some other threads, i found one which had a 17.9K 3D2006 score...but...i could not determine if it was a X2 card...might have been a single 4800 series...here it is:
that was definately a single card and prolly a QX9XX0 cpu to have a cpu score that high. wanna know how I know?? the single 4800 cards read out on 3dmark and gpu-z as 4800 series whereas the 4870X2/4850X2 say either 4870X2 or 4850X2 on both gpu-z and 3dmark 05 and up maybe even o3 and up but I dont think so.
Woot check this out!

even on stock. first boot after cmos jumper. went in bios save default values, no boot. flash it again with the 7/10 still same.Quote:

geez..almost 2ghz above default...NICE!:up:Quote:

definitely, you have a problem...try it with one stick or a different memory stick.Quote:

alrready try 1 stick and 4, both different rams. even tried e7200 and q9550.Quote:

STILL, a worthy feat!:)Quote:
