Great collection of drives! :up:

That REX is so sexy, I need to get one too, Socket 775 was where I had so much fun. Only two months to go until my birthday, too bad I can't get one now, my parents would kill me. :rofl:

What memory are you using? 2 or 4GB GTR?
Any performance numbers on which kit is better? Does the 4GB kit really score a bit higher than the 2GB kit?

Going to work on another run, I know that GPU can do at least 1250mhz memory and the CPU should do 28k on H2O... 29k is what I'm shooting for... :)
Also after that I'm going to run 03, we'll see if the new driver will help me get over 137k with the 4.64ghz CPU... :confused:
Might pick up a W3540 to go with the classi on cascade if I can get a deal, we'll see... :up:

Sounds great! Just make sure to get a validation link next time you enter Global top 20! ;)
Benching a single 5870 is not a bad idea, you won't get many points right now but revision 3.0 of hwbot will change that I think.

Benching Laptops is fun, it's just that many categories are almost empty and will be rewarded less points after the update to revision 3.0. I'm afraid I will lose some of my points too.

Three sticks, eh? Does that mean we'll see you on Intel anytime soon? :)

For the purpose of reviews sure :)

Speaking of which. Linux did you rack up all the results you needed? I'd much rather review ram on my retail 920 part than these ES samples.

Hope to see chew* on Intel soon, that'd be a killer! :D
I know I needed a link for the last one, I just didn't have my wifi working last night but saved the validation file anyway just in case I didn't get a higher score....
Just ran it again and got 29.1k! Gotta wait until it gets colder to try again and get the CPU going... ;)

@chew*, yeah I am going to send it back this week. :) Finally got some stuff coming in.... ;)
Thanks for the awesome setup man! I'll PM you soon.

Aquamark would be nice, get back into top 100! :D

Saw your new score now, great work! :up:

Wow, just noticed 29k means you're 13th globally for single card Vantage! Congrats!!!

//edit

What cooling and Vcore are you running for that?
I have a W3540 coming in as well, hopefully it performs well! :)

It runs faster.... ---when it works--- I had a lot of trouble out of that 9.12 hotfix yesterday......
With a single card MSI Afterburner would lock it up and crash the driver every time I try to start it, I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling it about every time I reboot to get it to work.... :mad:
With a 5970+5870 the 5870 the 5870's fan would not go above 20% though it was set it CCC... :shrug:
I hope they fix a lot of these issues in the next release... :up:

For any of you on the team who have the ATI 5000 series cards... Get the new 9.12 driver and run 3dmark Vantage again! :)

it was on h2o, and vcore was i think 1.55 but it was a quick max validation test and believe me it BARELY made it, first time validation was borked
i used my 3520 settings because i didn't had much time yesterday

but i'm starting over and working my way up, right now i'm benching 3DMVA @ 4106 @1.25vc
if it's not a good cold chip at least it looks to be a good 24/7 chip :D

Didnt really had much time to fiddle with everything yet, so far i had 220 bclock on air, have to work tomorrow, but hopefully in the upcoming days i can put my cpu on the singlestage,
and get some bclock going!

Merry Christmas to everybody! Have a nice day! :)

You too! :)

Jor3lBR, Are you going to run the Q9650 for a first place soon with your new storage setup?
Amazing score, especially the HDD General Usage!. :eek:

Right now I'm installing two OSes for laptop benching.... going to work hard to get back the golds with the T5270 in Wprime.... :up:

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your results when you do have time to volt mod and really overclock the 5970s... :D

Sure I will Linux! It's the last gold I need to get the Q9650 washed out ;)

It was a bit hard to get those limits respected thank you JCOOL for the windows startup slowdown tip. I still can do better when I get used to this card and the Intel's.

Are there some tweaks that I can try to get a better Wprime score? I'm right up against 2nd place with my T5270 in 32M and 1024M... Tested in Vista 32, W7 64, and XP32 and Vista was the best by far...
Do I need to get Server 2008 to get a better time? :)

I took care of the first place by the way, you didn't notice he used WPrime v1.63 for his submission, did you? ;)

Edit 1: Just checked more of his WPrime scores, he used v1.63 for almost all of his submissions, but I don't feel like reporting them all now... -.-

Edit 2: Okay, I reported two more scores that will help me gain 0.4 points, but that's it for now.
