you mean you cant hit 10k even with your cpu higher then 4.2ghz?
i mean sure... its not gonna effect it much... but even if you added "just" 200mhz, shouldnt that give you the 30-35 more 3dmark2k3 points you need?

Maybe you'll need CAT 4.3 ;)
I got up to 9945 at 4305MHz (287x15 5:4)/654/474, at 4435 (246x18 1:1)/655/473 it is 9966. 4505/657/471 should be quite close to 10k.
Now I just need to get it thru the dang bench. with lower card clocks I've passed the test at 4524MHz CPU and on the other hand the card has passed the test at 660/474 w/ lower CPU clock.
Yea CAT 4.3 (+50marks) would rock :D
macci, you have pro version, you can't select tests and run them individually?
macci, need more power! :D
hope you get it sorted. I hate it when you get scenarios like that :mad:
I would assume if you can do that, he already does.Quote:

But I hear 03 doesn't let you do that.
sounds like all you have to do now is bench with higher clocks on both cpu and VC.
i'd say theres 10k in that system, without any different drivers/tweaks. ;)
Pff, yeah, I mean come on macci, thats so easy. :rolleyes:
what? are you saying its hard to overclock two parts of your system to their full potential at once? :rolleyes:
You dont have the experience to understand the finer things about taking strong hardware to its absolute limits.Quote:

If it were a simple matter of just "overclocking more" it would have been done already. One overclock will determine the stability of the other and consequently you must strike a balance that can live for 20 minutes. Theres more but I don't need to explain it.
but he has done it before...
he has pushed his cpu further then his top scoring 3dmark03 run...
he's pushed it atleast 300mhz more stable enough for benching...
you would have a point if that 4.2ghz is the max he has ever benched it at, but it isnt, so you dont. ;)
"all" he has to do, in my eye, is do the two things at once, and for someone with his skill, i dont see how it could be that hard. ;)
you should note that im not telling him to OC his proccy more then he previously has...
;).Quote:

Havent benched them against 4.2's so not sure if they give more in 3DMark2k3... :D
Btw, any idea how many times you have run the bench .. lets say the last 3-4 days ?
PTK
Ps. Keep on running.. its gotta work out soon(tm) :toast:
Clocks up processor, GPU clock will fall.
GPU is 80%+ in 03'. Hence clocks at where they are. I believe this has been mentioned a few times already.
its well known that gpu is by far most important in '03... but, all he is asking for is 34 marks... its not like he needs to up his processor that much for just 34 marks...Quote:

well it's just harder the closer you get. kinda like with getting down to 0k (-273°C). the closer you get to that, the smaller the steps forward you make will be. so gaining 34 pts at the level he is at right now is like searching for 1500 pts for the guys around 6000 pts with a 9500 ;)
Yeah. Its obviously (at the moment) the max clocks possible on either component for the best combo or macci would have it already.
This really isn't that hard to understand.
I say the winning formula would be his card @ 660/474. Which macci said that it had passed through the test at that before but his cpu has to be at a lower clock. Therefore run the cpu @ 242x18 (1:1) The good ol' 1:1 action would do the trick ;)
Set the card to its max firstly, then set to the cpu to suit :)
Hallowed is correct.
You may have more CPU speed, and you may have more GPU speed, but running them at the max at the SAME TIME will interfere with each other and sometimes cannot be done.
It isn't like that on my system but obviously is on his.
Yup I know that.
Thats why I said run to the card at its max and run the cpu accordingly ;)
Soul, it seems like the populace here has a hard time understanding the simple law of "dont tell macci how to bench"
We should write this down somewhere.
why not? what we tell macci may be helping him! yes they are right. Macci, leave your gpu at its max oc then get the cpu up one step at a time
:ROTF:
You have seriously GOTTA be kidding me??
Any of US....
telling MACCI how to bench??
:ROTF:
he knows alot, but many of us are also experts at benching. the suggestion macci max his gpu and clock his cpu a notch down was spot on and could be his 10k
Ace you have said some stupid stuff in the past but this takes the cake. :hehe:
