Pedro & Ricky 2nd bench with X6800 : 86K done..

Last night, I and Ricky have done some benching together again..

Unfortunaly one of the compressors of the main CPU cascade stop working, so we have to use the less powerful 2nd cascade build for two graphics cards..

Here are some photos:

The setup used was:
- Core2 Duo X6800 WB 449x11 @ Ricky 2nd cascade (GPU)
- Asus P5W-DH VCore, VMCH and VMem moded
- Corsair 6400C3 3-33-9
- X1900's CF 815-886 heavy cold buged :-(
- Tagan 900W
- Some old scholl tweaking ;)

Here is the result for the only benchmark that really matters for us:

In the end of bench session we also run a 3DMark2005, of course heavy penalized by the low graphics cards speeds ..

Now is time for some holidays, when we came back Ricky going to rebuild CPU main Cascade, maybe with 3 stages (hope to reach around -130ºC full load), let's hope we can access better graphics cards then ..

Hope you enjoy it :toast:

Nice way to start the holidays, enjoy :toast:

woohoo awsome run :D

1,4k DL, 86k overall :) just sweet

That is some impressive work.

25.8k 05 is low? Your standards differ from mine.

(1215 + 1235 + 1404.7) * 10 + (363.3 + 773.5 + 511.2 + 725.7) * 20
38547+47474=86021

lets change test 4 nature into the one from kingpin,

(1215 + 1235 + 1404.7) * 10 + (363.3 + 773.5 + 511.2 + 958) * 20
38547+51934=90481


:slobber:

:woot: :woot: wow 86k new wr , insane only 4.9G and a pair of heavy coldbug vga,impressive pdero & Ricky's 3d world:)

Sweet :slobber:

congrats and good luck reaching 90k :toast:

Impressive job, even with all the setbacks, you exceded yourselfs, if everyting worked like it should, the 90k where yours :)
Ohh well, there is always next time ;)

PORTUGAL ON THE TOP OF THE ORB!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

Regards :toast:

Looks Crazy "the Setup" Oh the results are Crazy also.

Keep em coming lads.

crazy 1.4k of DL:slobber:

Very nice :clap:

holy!i shall follow u!but seem's i can't:toast:

ln2 on the GTX and you can :D

pedro & ricky vmod them with those from hipro , then u can say bb to coldbug on those suckers ;)

Really sweet guys! Congrats! :toast:

wow! nice job guys! cant wait to see this thing full swing

I can't say a thing.:slobber:

Next stop 90k. :toast: :toast:

awesome scores :woot:
'01 is the best bench ever and you take it to the limits!

nice pics of the setup :D

Great work guys :toast:

You guys are 'only' 50k points ahead of me :) awsome..

3D benching at its finest. :)

Sorry about the cards. :-/ (I bet its just the CrossFire edition though)

Damn thats a sick result... Grats on that and keep pushing for 90k :)

Awesome!

Good luck hitting 90k!

Great work guys WR to purtugal ! ;)

Portugal is numero uno :toast: :toast:
Great job by the dynamic duo once again.

That was a good start, finally we some fun on 3D benching after a few years of frustation with coold buged CPU's :D

90K is possible, but not so easy with a X6800 and X1900''s CF, for my quick calculations will be needed a CPU that run all tests at around 5.250MHz / 5.300Mhz and 2 X1900's that can do more than 900-950 in CF in Nature (let's say at nature around 850FPS), and, of course, talend 3D benchers :D

With the ATI 1950XTX's in CF may be another story and that core and mem speeds may be even possible on air, can't wait to see :)

Of course the real 2001 Legends didn't lead their trumps yet : k|ngp|n, Kinc, Hipro5, OPPainter, Fugger, Shamino and Mr. Macci of course:D , just to name a few ;)

Going be a entertaining game and we really hope that can contribute to maintain 3D Mark 2001 alive ...

Was really fun to watch my friend Ricky to swear when we runnig a quick 3Dmark 2005 and say "what a stupid bench, all at one go" - of course he didn't see 3DMark 2006 or he will have a fit of nerves :D

Well I think you guys have the talented part ;)

Some impressive results for "ONLY" a 2 stage cascade and chilled water. Would be nice to see Ricky build a 3 stager. Enjoy the holiday though!

What's up with the mount on the CPU though? Looks like an uneven metal plate with some nuts. How do you tighten that on? You should try to get a nice even hold down plate and some wing nuts + compression springs like the kind that come with high end waterblocks and of course the mousepots ;)

Yes of course, that was an improvised solutions - that cascade was design for 2 graphic cards not for CPU :D

The CPU cascade we normally use have a better evaporator and a much better retension mechanism - as you can see in this photo :

:)

woah crazy scores... love that 3dmark05 score though :)

seems like alot of dust and dirt around that room there... :D

That sentence brought a smile to my face I can just picture him saying it :)

:toast: on your score with cascade and a very nicely written account ..always a pleasure to read.

I wish Macci and Opp would post some scores, macci especially .. I think he has his mind on other matters nowadays ..I wish he'd prove me wrong :(

90k is looking harder than I thought it would be ....

Well .. Ricky did not said exactly "stupid bench.." but someting more strong like "sh:banana: bench" and other words that can not be reproduced in public foruns :D

lol
nice work

que teasing.. come on guys show us the 90k :D

congratz! :toast:

great work!

90k soon i hope :woot:

10K over my wimpy 76K, very nice.

Hope your still on the bench, lets see an AM3 :toast:

Wow!:eek:
Incredible score!!!:woot:
I can't imagine your score with "non ColdBugged XTX":eek:

Well Done job there guys, just like 60k points more than mine :s

damn that's really fast :slobber: :eek:
Big congrats to u and Ricky :clap: :toast:

clean your cascade and monitor with Mr Clean :D :) :wave:

Congrats to both of you :toast: :clap:

Wow...I have no words to describe the astonishment...the amazement....you get the idea.

You guys are nuts...hopefully we'll see you nearing 90k soon...and things will definitely get interesting once the other "big boys" get into gear. :)

Congratulations, outstanding job as always :toast:
Too bad the X1900's are coldbugged, otherwise the 90k should've been much easier.

Nice!! :toast:

When someone manages to get all the best hardware together 90K will be a breeze ;)

i'm pretty sure that with this new video cards coming late this year.. 100k will be blow out :D

anyway krazey stuff out there
Portugal :woot:

Gongrats! :toast:
Have a nice holiday!!!

Wuhuu, Europe's back :)

omg great score! Thats 3 times as fast as my rig lol
90k is within reach :D

Congrats for both.
I wanna see that 3stage cascade :slobber:
It's always nice to see u both in front of the race... ;)
Let's see were this is gonna end... :rolleyes:

Gentleman's...start your engines

Thank you guys :D

If that run was done in the Ricky's primary CPU a run at 5.000Mhz for Lobby's have ben possible and near 5.060Mhz in the other tests - we have done it in the previous day before the 2nd stage compressor stop working..

Anyway our main objectives for the run was achived: 1235fps for LL, 511fps for LH and 363fps do CarHigh - I really like that Car :D

Ricky is thrilled to rebuild the CPU cascade with 3 Stages, I do not have many doubts that, in their talent, the rebuild cascade can reach near LN2 performance - 130ºC load :eek: Unfortunately the compressors are quite expensive here in Portugal and we don't have any supporter for that :(

If I can keep for a few more days, in the 3 stages cascade a near 5.200 Mhz run for all test maybe possible ...that will give us really nice number on those more CPU dependent tests : who knows ..maybe 1300fps 550fps Lobby number will possible D

This compare with the excelent 2001 run from Micutzu at a comparable CPU speed, can give a better idea of the current advantages and disadvantage of the ATI X1900CF over 2 Nvidia 7900GTX SLI in the Intel platform :

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/1lu...rcomNvidia.jpg

As expected Nature scores are much better on Nvidia, Nvidia are clocked at 870/1050 agaisnt ours 815/880 on the ATI - Nature is by far the test where the memory speed of the graphics cards counts more .

Also as expected, there is a clear Lobbys ATI advantage over Nvidia.. Lobby Low almost all the test on 999 :D

In CarHigh (my fav tesy:D ) ATI is also clear a winner ;)

I don't expected that Dragos score are so close, I really expected a clear advantage on the Nvidia give their much higger graphics memory speed :eek:

Like in many other things, the Intel Conroe change the computations - this CPU is one the most astonishing piece of hardware I ever saw ...even a AMD fan have to admint that - eheh I foresee a big smile on Fugger's face after reading this :D :D

great comparison :toast:
any chance of more this weekend? :slobber: :D

|Ricky| good luck with the cascate, show the world what the people of Setúbal, Portugal are made of :banana:
And good luck for both of you, Pedro and Ricky will be blessed by me on the next benching session, 90k are so close :slobber:

Over and out :D

I want 30K 05 :p:

ready to 90k 01 and 30k 03 ? , i think yes , go portugal !

"Of course the real 2001 Legends didn't lead their trumps yet : k|ngp|n, Kinc, Hipro5, OPPainter, Fugger, Shamino and Mr. Macci of course , just to name a few"


Doesnt Macci have a 70k warmup score now? Havent seen Oppainter in a very long time. Bet Kingpin is brewing something nice ;)


Very nice 86k score, wonder what the new orb limit is, 99,999 perhaps? Wont be long before they raise the limit *again!*


Very nice run Pedro and Ricky! Can Conroe handle -130c? A64 cpus dont seem to like below -50c. Is cascade better than dry ice? Cant ln2 be used?
Good luck on 90k, we are rooting for you! Conroe is a beast! Maybe trying another Conroe will overclock better! Is the ES fully unlocked? As for video, ATI is better in 6 out of 7 tests, Nvidia only ahead in nature due to LOD ;)

most of the benchers has proved, that conroe likes the cold. cascade is for sure better than dry-ice. (cascade -100°C, dice -70°C).
ln2 isnt a problem, all the pi-records are made on ln2.

ati has lod too now! ati tray tools can enable it. so nvidia isnt ahead only because of lod.

No, we will do a summer break for a few weeks..

Moreover CPU cascade needs to be rebuild, let's hope with 3 stages than can give temperatures more close to the LN2. In fact - 130ºC may be the sweet spot for this CPU so our target is to run all the tests (lobby's included) at around 5.200Mhz ;)

Meanwhile it is time to 3DMark 2001 Legends show their moves with X1900's ;) before X1950 will be availabe ..

"-130 may be the sweetspot for this CPU" :slapass:
Colder is always better, untill CPU or mobo bugs with Intel... :|
LN, og LHe would be perfect, LHe is quite expensive though, 18€/liter I belive :(

Dragothic scores on this setup are very CPU-dependant and VGA clocks don't help at all. Check dev|L's score, he is running about the same CPU clock and 1060/1080 vs my 870/960 (i only ran Nature at 870/1050), Dragothic scores are as close as they can be.

Indeed Crossfire is very very strong in Lobby and Car and even with the low Nature it's still faster than SLI in the same conditions. The only thing keeping SLI still in the game right now is the coldbug on ATI cards.

Now we have a very serious competitior .. one of greatest 3D benchers of our days - the XtremeLegend Mr. k|ngp|n himself :)

k|ngp|n 7900gtX SLI | 975x
NVIDIA 7900gtX SLI Tek9 ln2
CONROE X6800XE Dragonpot ln2
ASUS p5wdh 975x
CORSAIR XMS 6400C3

So dam close :eek: here is the compare :

http://pedrorocha.planetaclix.pt/1lu...omKingpin1.jpg

The game is really open on 2001 as you can see, that's nice :D

Very nice comparison :)

The only test where he is in advantage is nature, BIG TIME!!!
But anyways, NOT to take credit from k|ngp|n, but is score was with LN2 while yours was with a improvised GPU cascate, and lots of setbacks, like cold bugged GPU and etc. It is a great score from k|ngp|n, no doubt ;) but in very diferent conditions compared to yours. Best of luck with the new cascate ande the next bench session :)

Over and out.

Great "battle" is starting!:toast:
90k are possible soon:)

Congrats.

Your E-Penis Has Just Gone Through the Roof.

:clap: for Ricky and Pedro

Good luck guys ;)

k|ngP|n put in a new top score ( still says testing )

Amazing!
1000Fps Nature it's near!
Great run Vince.

Man this is getting serious..
Does anyone have any inside info on where the bar is set on 01?
Im sure its gonna be raised real soon if its only @ 100k
