3dm01 air challange?

There was this thread at another forum which made me do some more 8800gtx singelcard benching with aircooling in 3dm01. Previously my max was this on Evga 680i:

http://imgs.bandwidth.se/imgs/8800gtx_luft/74105.JPG

New drivers + new mb (DFI Infinity 965):

I've got more up my sleeve too:

http://bandwidth.se/images/1072.jpg

X6800 L627A664
DFI Infinity 965
2x1GB Teamgroup OPB Ed
XFX 8800GTX
Tagan 1.1kW

Cpu cooled by Scythe Ninja and gpu cooled with stock cooler + delta 120mm and removed casing for maximum airflow.

nice single card score for 01......
how much vgpu needed for 729 core/air cooled....:)

:) Would it not be better to put things on a level playing field if bench clocks were set, and ppl compete at the same point and it comes down to knowledge?

Any other way, it comes down to luck and money

my 2p

I run about 1.55v idle, but I think less is possible.

Well, getting your hardware as high as possible with the right amount cooling and settings is also part of the game, but sure I could run some benches at lower speed for comparison. What clocks do you suggest?

Up to you :D Its your thread :) Its just an idea..feel free to ignore it!

I have a friend's X6800 CPU here that can do over 4100MHz+ with the Tuniq heatsink.....Does it count?.... :D

some people got owned on LN2 so Hipro5 moves to air and people owned again :rofl:

Sure, bring it on :cool:

I've got a score at 3600mhz cpu + 645/1080 vga for comparison, will post when I get it of the benchdrive.

lets see some 01 air action with it from Hellas.......:)
I am sure with your 8000UL's it will be hard to beat for sure....

Ahhh......You have missed a lot here..... :( My first 8000UL got broken (3 chips) when it fell down to the ground......Now I'm with GKX chips... :(

My first contribution :)

Bring it on! :D

Oh, and this is singelcard as most of you probably understood. If you wanna race sli make another thread ;)

hipro and kemo, no bashing please. Keep it clean boys.

Elmor, which driver and what LODs and test order bring you to 850 nature with such low clocks, i find it insane ?!?
71.5k
http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/4...1020gv8.th.jpg
Latest drivers 165.02, not very optimized run :rolleyes:

kinc what cpu is that?

I run the 158.22 driver, 4.9 LOD and Nature first. ;)

i thought vince had a pretty insane air score also

80K all air cooled, that's a nice challenge :ROTF:

Ok Marcus, now I'm in the lead :rofl:

haha, sick score on air :clap:

what's your ambient T ?

About 15*C air straight from outside for that round, I see it's sub 10*C now :rolleyes:

I'm doing it the "dirty" way with more gfx power, go Ultra! :)

http://www.kinc.se/77236.JPG

Wow Kinc, you are going to be pretty damn hard to catch up to with those gfx clocks. I'm rooting for elmor on this one as he is the only guy in this thread w/o an ultra.

ok, I will wait -30C air :D

Moving to Siberia ? :p:

Seems like the race to 80k on air has begun :D

Are we doing stock cooler only ( for the VGA ) ?

Some system tweaking and 78k :)

I was running 7800/7900 GameTest order and this score was made with 24/7 settings with 1333 strap and 1.4v CPU ;). Next week i'll try to catch you , thou it seems impossible to competite with Ultras:clap:
@Kinc i like your AIR duct:rofl:

790 with stock cooler is just SICK! doesnt matter if he uses cold air blabla.. 790 is just insane!

haha nice thread :D Nice scores and clocks Kinc ;)

How many times did that thing fly off your card kinc :D

Kinc, how cold is it there in Sweden this time of year?

About 5-10*C at night so not that cold but gives a nice push in clocks :)

I'm gonna try to catch up tonight.

Nice thread. This is an old one wil give it a go again soon.

Well that sucks about your UL's.....D9GKX very good stuff also..
but fatbody love the volts.....=/

Congrats my friend! :toast:

Awsome tuning and tweaking!

Congrats;)

But in milan there are 30°C......i don't play this game:(

haha some crazy air clocks up in here kinc and others...
AIR CHAOS for sure :D
If I set up my gear in a walk in freezer to bench, does that count as air still?

Really the thread needs to be a 3dmark "low clock challenge" thread for it to work good. You have classes for diff video cards/cpus like low clock challenge 32m thread....say 3600mhz and 4ghz class. And then put a clock limit at the cards where you know most samples of a given card will go on air such as say 700-1200 for ultra. No limit on shader clocks because that would fall under tweaking. With that system, most important factors seperating the scores will be fsb/mem speed, mem timings, tweaking and optimizations really.

If you think it counts, it counts. ;)

I do not think this 'competition' with airbenching is meant to be that serious. For me it is more like having fun. You are absolutly right about that we all have different temps where we live so it is not a 'fair' game, but anyone can do it for fun though.


EDIT: Kinc: Are you really letting elmor getting away with that result? ;)

Yah fun even just to watch for sure. Im sure Andy(zakelwe) would be all over this with his benching shed :D.
Me and gautam were talking about that 01' low clock thread for some time now. I think it would be great and get more people involved with 3d benching. Someone needs to hook that up.

Well.....Here I am.... :D

After my ABIT Quad GT's death (Digital Power blow up), I came with my second (retail) ABIT AW9D-MAX mobo to compete.... :)

Just did some Vmods (and a new one too :p: ) and here it is.....
This CPU is a friend's of mine (elefsinaras') which was given to me so to test it how it does under LN2....:)
On air I must admit that it does well.... :D
VGA is my second one which doesn't do that well on air as my other one but I'll "fight" with frequency..... ;) :)

This is the system..... I can't fight the 10*C other countries have coz WITH the air condition on, I have ~22*C into my room.... :( But I'll keep on.....

http://www.thelab.gr/images/Hipro5/A...ir_CPU_VGA.jpg

A DELTA fan 8 x 8cm was placed in front of VGA's fan so to force the air....
TWO DELTA fans 12 x 12cm in push-pull config was placed onto CPU's Heatsink....CPU Idle Temp was ~50*C.....and VGA's ~ 46*C....
CPU's VCore was ~1.78Volts.... :D

This is the frequency it boots up into windows....:D

.....and this is the 2k1 bench......BEWARE coz I've "missed" the Car Low "good" score..... :p:

Here's the compare url....

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9205043

Now give me 10*C and a VGA like KINC's and add the numbers to see how it would do..... :D

4.22GHz Pi benchable on air...not bad at all :D

my God, that cpu is a beast under air :D...
how it does on LN2? congrats for that score....

Thanks..... :)
I haven't put it under LN2 yet.....Next week.... :)

Thanks Vince..... :)
As a matter of fact, I don't believe that this CPU could have done this if I haven't done my "new" mod on AW9D-MAX mobo.... ;)
Well maybe yes and maybe no....On Quad GT it did about 4120MHz before mobo's death...:)

That is a great idea! :up: I often look at the SP-thread because it is a simple way to compare results.

Hipro: I am glad you live in such a warm country. If not, as it looks on your results you would have said 'game, set and match' by now. ;) That is some crazy clock on that CPU.

Sounds good:) Lets get a 3d01 lowclock thread going then??:)

Here is a air result from me. still not much speed on mem yet:)

1.58v on GPU


No OS optimasions or tweaks yet...more to come:)

http://www.2and2.net/files/4657521b39a3d.jpg

Hahah... hipro but how many degrees is in Greece?

4200Mhz is insane....this cpu is strange, my 6800 at ln2 bench to 5500Mhz but air it does not arrive to 4Ghz

Thanks guys.....

Close to the motherboard I had ~22*C....

@ gandalfone: Yes I know what you want to say M8... ;) We have tow IDENTICAL X6800 L631 CPUs here....One does 5400MHz+ 3D under LN2 and the other does 5050MHz....and when I say idendical, I mean identical......ALL numbers of the FPO/BATCH....TWINS .... :)


GOOD idea of a low clock chalange in 3Ds..... One at 3600MHz and one at 4000MHz.... ;)

better to say 3600mhz...in that way more people will be able to join:)

Yea for some reason my cpu doesnt like to do 4ghz i can bench at 3.98 on air but at 4.0 it crashes no matter what

3DM2001 low clock challenge anyone ? :D

Great work Hipro, I'll see what I can do about that ;)

yea, My old X6800 wasn't too slow.

This is an old run, so stock clocks on VGA. Slow rams, again this wasn't a tweaked run, just showing stability!

http://www.sspmustang.com/OT/x6800/4...-3d01-run1.JPG

I will make some runs with the Quad soon :)

I think ~3970 mhz should be possible!

damn hipro and i thought my E6700 was special :shocked: (well same sort of 1M but max 32M is 4150MHz lol and i've been able to do 3DMARK06 at 4GHz with 1.5v but higher wasn't all that good

what's this new mod you have

Do what you have to do coz now I don't have any VGA to compete on air any more...I've insulated this (second) one too coz official ORB NVIDIA drivers have already been uploaded.... :D

---

It's sort off "GTLRef mod" but not exactly.... ;) I'll insulate this mobo coz now it performs WAY better than my first(undieable) one.... :D

The BIG joke is that I - yesterday - tested this CPU under LN2 and it goes up to 5070MHz max..... :D Dumn....

I was testing an ASUS Striker last night fully unmoded(default :D ) and uninsulated yet, and my X6800 did ~5340MHz 3D benchable with ONLY 1.86VCore (real).... So I think that if I mod the VCore of it so to get more VCore, I'll be able to bench 5400MHz+ as I do with my trusty ABIT AW9D-MAX mobo.... ;)
Problem is that this Striker doesn't let me play at 1:1 and 1T over 432MHz so I'll have to go with the x13 multi and play my rams at ~625MHz Cas 4-3-3-4.... :( Really bad thing.... Those dumn NVIDIA chipsets are a real pain in the arss... :(

VGA: 8800GTX ES modded 661/1050
CPU: QX6700 ES 3954mhz/1.55v
Mobo: EVGA 680i A1

Yes 1101 ram does work on my card!(I limited myself to 661/1050)
For some reason, the "low clock challange" decided that 4ghz was to hard for everyone to get, here is my attempt with the quad

I want to thank k|ngp|n for all his help :) 3954mhz 3d01 with the quad took time time.

Finished air testing this 512mb HD 2900 XT tonight, totally stock card. 100CFM thru a Tuniq @ 18 C room temp. LOD +4

What I wouldn't give for a working ATI Tool or BIOS editor ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...z_875-9994.png

CPU on Air
HD2900XT stock cooler at 870/998

No real idea what all the tweaks are or even how to tweak so just set LOD at +3 and pressed benchmark on the application.

going to run some more when i get my new cpu, hopefully during this week..

im going to up the vgpu and vmem to, this is with 1.4/2.0V idle..

Swapped CPU's, really need to do the vdim mod on this P5K for some better performance ;)
