Hehe, well this made 1200 really, really easy.

stummer i believe the bug driver is not allowed since you have to upload to orb, dont know if they accept it tho!

Cool, NICE scores guys

Dean, awesome stuff :D

Learning to bench VGAs, I got this on stock GTX280:

Taking it under dice tomorrow, I hope I'll learn something from you 3dm01 gurus

xoqolatl, don't waste your dry ice.
You won't be able to reach 1200fps Nature on the i7 @ 4.2GHz, if you have a Core 2 CPU, use that instead ;)

I only have i7 available ATM. Anyway, dice is cheap and it won't be wasted if I learn something in the process, right?

Can't disagree with you on that :D
Just make sure you prepare your OS's images to run most of the benchmarks.

Hopefully I can organise a VGA for this comp before it ends, at the moment all I have with me is an 8600GT, not going to get 1200FPS nature with that. :P Need to harass the boss. :D I wish we could get some comps like this happening locally, we used to but they died out. Would be sweet if we could get a monthly comp like this in all major 3D benchies, maybe get some prizes sponsored etc? Worth lookign into i rate. :)

Small question as it's been a long time since I've ran 3d mark01.

How are you going to check the cpu speed ? I guess you start 3d mark ar 4.2 Ghz, fire it up trough a clockgenwise program to 6 Ghz, and then for the screenshot turn it back to 4.2 Ghz ?

At these clock speeds some tests are totally limited, and any discrepancies can be noticed easily.
Cheaters beware!

yea we have 2001 eyes, we can easily see which test has been bugged ;).
because a card at stock wil score like 300 CH, then on 1000 core it will score 318 ish car high, so not boost almost from vga, if u up cpu we will see.

Well this weekend my card maxed out -125c and 1175 core for a brief nature, got me 1080 nature, which isnt enough :(. im guessing a 1250 - 1300 card would get it, or if i ran on rampage. But yea the gts 512 can def win this comp if you have a good one. Im out for single card. But i will talk about my 790i 2x gts 512 later :). They reach 1400 fps nature EASY ;)

Cool.
on OT note, finally reached top 100! #97 :D!

okay im back on c2d and ready for some 01 fun :D

first result, not really tweaked but low CH bug is still a problem with 295s, do we have a solution for that? ive tried 185.20 beta driver but all the same

Took my GTX280 under dice today.
I had to pop the lid to tame the temps:

Final product of my tweaking:

Bottom line: I have lots to learn :)

I think a skilled tweaker with 1100+ on GPU core could do 1200 nature.

That's true.
Only 880MHz GPU with Dry Ice man ?
Are you using a very very very bad pot or something ? Or just being conservative regarding your GPU's voltage ? :D
I never had to remove the IHS of a GTX 280, no need to.
+1 for having the guts to do it though ;)

Unfortunately, there's a "barrier" in Nature that you can't cross without raising the CPU & UnCore frequency quite a lot.
Nothing helps going higher.
Tweaks that give me 50fps more ? Nothing
Higher GPU clocks ? Nothing

I'm using the best pot there is, TEK-9 4.0 :)
Thing is my card is half dead. It was dead when I got it; I transplanted half of PWM circuitry from another dead card and it came back to life, but it heats like a furnace now. Voltages up to 1.44V didn't help, I ran into OCP or just core crashing with more volts.

Nice work so far everyone! Guess I should put up some kind of leader board or something. These threads go a long way in getting 01 scores up to snuff, doesn't matter what HW you use.

hm...my first test with 9800GX2 on -40C at low clocks 918/1105 :D
PCIe 125 MHz, last the Nature.

Heh, heh, heh, nice one George. :up:
I think that it's better for you benching alone at home - you are more productive - .... :D

Smoke mane me nervous…..:D

Best I can do so far on the GTX295 is 91K, need to go cold to get to 1400fps cap, and theres one small issue with that.
