As for 01, sorry, i'll redo that.
And would i be right in saying that these things need a VDDQ mod like i need water? Cos the mem starts coughing up at 260mhz or so, and increasing the voltage does bog all. The mem is cold as a cucumber, with some hihg CFM fans over it, so i guess the only other thing is the vddq mod, right?
Cheers guys.
Don, can you update the 03 compare url please, both are for 01 atm
Cheers :D
Bugger me. Sorry bout that, all fixed up now.

Got my ATi silencer thru the post today, hopefully it will boost my core clock a bit further. My ramsinks are woefully inadequate, and are getting pretty damn hot, might have to replace them if I can fit anything better under the silencer. Its all good fun :D
The cooling on the cards doesn't have to be a lot they don't get that hot; I certainly wouldn't spend like £20 for a cooler.
It was a cheapy off ebay - plus I got a slightly better 9600np to put it on afterwards :D

I might get another off evilbay just to compare results with you guys for a laugh and not be eligable for any prizes. It's been fun finding the limits of the card, lol.
If you don't mind one covered in armaflex you can have mine when i'm done if you want?Quote:

Random comments:
Noticed my pi times are about 0.1 sec faster than before, I think this is because my earlier ones were made with cpu-z started first, which ate a little CPU.
The free ORB only allows one published link for '03, so my stock link doesn't work any more. I can switch it back if needed.
Had trouble running ATT and AM3 at same time when heavily overclocked. Didn't have time to find the reason so the AM3 scores I have were done at lower mem overclock than the 3DMarks.
I have been asked to go into work 2hours earlier than I was supposed to tonight so Im not gonna get chance to finish all my benching :( I have managed to get my 01 score but havnt had chance to tweak 03 to perfection yet and havnt had chance to attempt overclocked run on aquamark.
Here is my Oc'ed and tweaked run at 01

I hate to ask, but would it be possible to extend the deadline to midnight tonight? I'm a night owl, and i've only just gotten home, i need to have dinner, and then i would be able to do better with a few hours to bench.
I know it's asking a lot, and i feel a bit rude doing it, but i suspect i'm not the only one who would appreciate it.
Feel free to turn me down, and i'll do the best i can with the time allowed.
Entries for myself, REALLY dissapointed with the results, not had enough time to play this week tho as works been hell.

================================================== =
I've got results from Persivore sat on my PC at the moment too, and confirmation of more on the way from Johnny Bravo.
Please note, the phase group has been extended until 10pm on Monday. I was informed during the first week of benchies that Boardy and Thickbrit would be unable to get results due to a leak in one of their units (I have PM's to back this up if anyone wants to see). Since there are no other results (bar my own) submitted in the category I don't believe they have an unfair advantage.
Also note Other categories (air and water) now close at MIDNIGHT any results posted or emailed to me after then will not be included in the final results.
Gar! 10pm Monday! :D
My results, ive had a realy realy bad time with this, several hardware failures and sod all time. Before my DFI blew (boom smoke) i was running 355MHz on the memory, but ive had to come back with a lowly PIII-800MHz and a board and card which wants to do funk all anymore :(

I'm not competing anymore, but ive completed new reference (stock) benchmarks with the P-III none the less.
At stock my card ran with minor artifacts at 480MHz core, 260MHz memory.
Aquamark was completed at 480/295MHz, i found it the toughest benchmark.

Although there is a few days left in the competition, i wont be using this card again as firstly im not competing and secondy im absoloutely sick of this card. It is the most worthless POS and the most difficult to overclock card i have ever used.
Big ups to the entrants, best of luck in the few days left :)
I wish to especially thank Highland3r for organising this event and sorting stuff out when it blows up :D

Persivore said it would be ok that I have different clocks for 01 and 03, it artifacted like crazy on 3 I don't think this is better then my old set I showed you allready :( .

Unlucky mate :( nice little setup, and I second that I hate it so badly and are sick of them, the mem on my card would not just go up I am surprised yours rain at 3.1 mine would artifact like crazy at 2.9-3.0
Damn, thats an awsome setup there Soddem! Such a shame your DFI took a dive :( Would have LOVED to have seen some scores with the A64. If you get a mobo sorted, perhaps you could re-run for us?
I've got Jimwah's overclocked results sat in PM box atm too, just to confirm he's submitted overclocked results.
Gonna hit the sack now, will get the final scores (pending Phase) up tomorrow morning.
Would like to thank everyone for competing, hopefully you've all enjoyed it, and not lost too much sleep over these cards!
Hoping to organise another comp later this year, should build on this one (and be a little better organised!!)
Cheers again guys, good to see so many UK overclockers about. We NEED to organise a meet up sometime, judging by the results of this comp, theres some serious skill around :D
An 800MHz PIII isn't awesome! :D
Yes, id love too, although i wont be buying any board made by DFI in the near future. The way that the board failed was unacceptable. I'll look for a NF7-S when i get some more time off.
Tom
Was going to mention something about running pi 1m only, then noticed the clockspeed ;) Must have been painful "benching" on that machine! Pretty awsome Nature in the end too, considering your CPU speed... Maybe this is the only system where the CPU bottlenecked the graphics card :toast: :toast: :PQuote:

Massive thanks to Highland3r!! Really cant wait till the next competition!!! :D

This comp has reminded me why I don't overclock any more :D Lots of pain for the benefit. My card really didn't like memory overclocking. Once past 240 it would artifact. Tweeking settings could get it runable stable up to 275 but artifacts everwhere hence my balance of running at 250 for the benches. If I had more time, maybe I would have done the Vddq seperation mod.
3Dmark03 would like to crash with file errors on me for no reason, where 01 and AM3 would run as long as you like. Reinstalls didn't help, only reboots. When I settled on the best settings in the time, AM3 decided it wouldn't run at the same time as ATT. Argh!
Still, it was fun in a masochistic kinda way... :cool:
funny, for me aquamark was a complete biatch. I could happily run 3dmark01 at xxx/255, 3dmark03 would only run at xxx/250 and Aquamark would only 240mhz!
Mackerel, how did you get such good scores? Would i be right in guessing you used either Omega drivers, or LOD tweaks?
Oh, and next time, i reckon we should use PCI-E cards. Most everyone has a PCI-E capable system nowadays, and the first generation of native PCI-E cards are approaching fairly reasonably prices now.
i.e, one can get an x700 pro for £47 from retekdirect now, that would be cool. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see.
