The thing is that cpu grunt always counted only in GT1 but now it seems the video cards are so powerful they also count in GT2 3 and 4 as well to a small extent.
Someone needs to give a demonstration on cpu speed in GT2.3.4 with one of the new cards so we can see percentage increase.

Man, I thought I would NEVER hear those words uttered by you ;)Quote:
I wont predict where we will end up
Macci, great work as allways :)
Damn quick let me take a printscreen, lolQuote:

Yo nailbomb is that a pic of your cat in your avatar??? Coz that looks exactly like my cat.. damn this is sooo weird...
Great work Macci, hope to see 17k with our uber system... don't make us poor fellas wait..
You are right. We are starting to see some CPU benefits on GT3. With 6800Ultra or X800Xt it would probably be more pronounced.Quote:

PCBliss: I did the same kind of tests. Although with more conservative speeds (Athlon XP @1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 9800pro and 9800pro at 430/390)... unfortunatly those results were stored on Seagate 200GB which has a little accident. But, same thing. GT1 always CPU dependent (not linear I found), and all the others GPU only pretty much.
[SIZE=3]But 9800pro is so boring nowadays. Lets see this "test" on 6800ultra or x800xt!![SIZE=3]:rocker:
VeRY VERY nice score there Macci! it is as if you always are able to astound the OC' community! and btw VERY nice briefing documents you recieved ;)

What are you trying to show me?
"clock range has been extended to 900mhz"
Doesnt that mean anything to you?
Of course that doesnt mean he was actually working at that frequency (800mhz shown) but he also stated that it changes automatically as needed which points to the fact he may well be at or near that frequency for the purpose of that screenshot.. as referenced by the "its not maxed out :D" statement that was first made...
HINT HINT possibly?
I know very well how ATI Tool works, I have used it myself.Quote:

He was only displaying how to increase the max frequency you can select. His current max clock is around 750 on the core.
As I stated in my previous post, 1Ghz is NOT going to happen with these 130nm process GPU's.
1Ghz is gonna happen!!!! Im gonna tell you!!! IT will happen only if its for a second of two..
So you're saying that a GPU made on the same process as the previous 9600 that maxed out at 700-800mhz, is going to get some sort of magic 200mhz + boost, with more transistors, more heat output, and 4x the number of pipelines?Quote:

LOL seems like one of his famous predictions. and no one would do a 1GHz suicide clock, it would just lock up if it doesnt fry the card outright. I can see 800-850MHz tops on the x800 but no more. not even 900MHz without maybe ln2. 800MHz with dry ice or casade would be about the limit

OMFG
When Ati or nvidia move to 90nm low k process there might be a chance of 1Ghz speeds, but the rate at which they are adding transistors and features maybe not even then.
Something damn wrong with this monitor this morning. I'me going to reboot

Who knows.. nobody thought the 9800XT's would get to the 650 range.. :D

Sure it will.. dont you think? :p:
I say no way the X800 is hitting 1Ghz..

yea but people got them to 600MHz a week after the 9800xt's came out. Macci is at 750MHz now. I fail to see where he can get another 250MHz from. 50-100 maybe but no way 250 :(
Mind you, there is always the 99th percentile card that " very luckily " falls into the hands of someone like the top 3d benchers.
Most of the time of course these cards end up at stock speeds doing mainly Freecell.
So I think it is possible but also highly unlikely, if someone does get one though they are going to be very hard to beat .
So the top out will be likely nearer 800 than 1000 by averages.

So will we all be able to get the scores macci is geting 30k, with the X800XT.
ovcourse, however because 3d01 isnt so gpu intensive, your going to have to erase that cpu bottleneck as much as possible, the only test you'll do quite well with even with a crappy cpu/fsb oc is nature.
Well, no....welll, maybe....Quote:
o nailbomb is that a pic of your cat in your avatar???
I predict that it is indeed NOT my cat with an unreasonable degree of uncertainty. Or, is that a UNreasonable degree of CERTAINTY? Or, wait a minute...maybe its a reasonable degree of certainty? Ermm...uhhhhh.....a low order of probability perhaps?
I dunno...I can't predict WHO's cat it is.....
:banana:
"Consults text on Quantum Mechanics"
Lol.... another day another Gforce sig.... :D
Who even cares anymore. They're getting so good.Quote:

so is macci going for 36k and when is OPP entering the race.
Not sure.Quote:

He is at a cooling disadvantage for now. Haven't heard anything about him getting a new system up and running yet. They aren't cheap...
