I am damn sure of something though. 2900XT Crossfire will have a 25500+ score in 06 soon. GT2 scales very nie with gpu clock aswell as GT3 and GT4. We are looking at 10k+ SM2.0 and ~12k SM3.0 scores.

CPU wise it looks very good.

yup not completeing canyon flight is a definite sign one of your cards is dieing.....mine also wouldnt finish canyon for a few days, try after try I had to keep lowering clocks till it finally died .....my rma comes tomorrow.

Aye, I'm really looking forward to that :toast:

I'm having su much trubble with 2900 CF on subzero that I might go crazy before I get a complete run in 06 with everything under ln2. The first 30 mins on the first try everytihng worke great and I had 1050MHz working. I am sure now that one of the cards is damaged, that is the reason to why it wont overlcok anymore. I will go out and buy a new one tomorrow.

This is a few days old screen showing the potential of 2900XT CF in 06:

Nice this SM 3 score.. Share more when you can.... GT1 is allways benefits to Nvidia cards ( it was same with the 7900)...

This should give a pretty good idea on what to expect (NOTE: it is by no means a fully optimized score, no PCIe clocking, no OS tweaking etc):

watercooled 2900XT CF w/ 2 CPU cores vs. LN2 cooled 8800GTX SLI (older drivers) w/ 4 CPU cores (and slight CPU clock advantage for the nV rig also - 4876 vs 4804MHz):

Means that 4 cores running at 4.8GHz (CPU Score of 7000+) with watercooled 2900XT CF gives you 24k already :D

I wish people would post this kind of stuff over on the Futuremark graphics card forum.........they will still say that ATI does good in benchmarking but fails to impress in games.

The 2900 XT benching will continue at DreamHack on Saturday, a new 2900 XT, a motherboard I'm not going to reveal just yet and many, many liters of nitrogen :D

Sorry I will ruin the surprise. ASUS Blitz Extreme and 1200 liters of ln2 ;)

Can't wait to see the results :eek:

1200l :D

haha that should give you enough time to really tweak the settings. The results will be amazing for sure.

Sound like it is going to be a really nice weekend! :D I guess crotale will join you? Maybe elmor aswell?

I hope you get atleast 7-8 degrees lower temps this weekend than it is right now.

First decent complete run of 3dmark 06. I was so excited that I took the screenshot wrong :)

Omg isn't that a WR :shocked: :slobber:

Hoho!! NICE! :up:

Still some MHz from max on the CPU I guess... How about the GFX, possible to get it higher?

No Vince still has the WR :) I think these 2900 will give him and Ultra SLI a honest fight though :D

This is just the begining. System perf. is terrible with this low FSB on 975X. If Blitz with DDR3 works well I think this can be a very deadly combo.

I have 12 liters of ln2 left and I will go for 25k++ with 4950MHz with the same GPU power tomorrow. There is alot left in the 2900's, A LOT. 1050MHz is with -55C and 1.35V.

You make it sound easy :) I must say this have been the most challenging benching I have ever done. P5W DH and Kentsfield with handicapped overclocking of 2900XT Crossfire is a very very bad combo. Combine that with three pots to run with ln2 (I have two cascades thatdoesnt work). Cross your fingers Blitz Extreme will work like a charm and new 2900XT to replace the bad one that barly works will fix that problem.

12 liters of ln2 brought me a score of 24880 today with 4900MHz Kentsfield. I saved screens and saves to my USB-stick as usuall but for some reason the files didnt "stick". The screen below is the only one I saved to the HDD by mistake.

Too bad about the non-sticking file, but now you have to do it all again and you might as well do it properly, wich means +25k. :D But I guess that will have to wait a few days...

I did not thought the X2900 would do so well in 06 actually. Great result!! :toast:

Yes crotale and I will be benching on Dreamhack with ASUS in a few days. I think we will have penty fun there as usuall even if it turns out to be a disaster result-wise.

Neither did I, thats why I have been giving it this much time and effort to prove to myself and others that 2900XT Crossfire are truly powerfull even though its flawed in the ability to overclock.

It's going to be tough, but I have no doubt we'll pull through ;)
