2900Pro benches by XtwinZ

Hi everybody:)
today was a benching session at home, and we tested the new best buy ATI cards the HD2900Pro's. The plan was outside testing single card and CF results (3Dmark01,05) with my E6850, but the warmup tests was inside on air, and we've got serious overclocking problems, the CF results was terrible, but I'm sure CF worked, so maybe the P5K vanilla or the Enermax Galaxy 1KW was not enough, or just need more experience with the CF. Another results, over@locker886 benches his E6550 fsb freak cpu, and get easy 640fsb on DI :)

So, my results:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 (L724B054)
M/B: Asus P5K "Vanilla", fullmod
Vcore: 1.75v Vdimm: 2.50v Vmch: 1.70v Vpll: 2.25v
CPU Cooling: DryIce
Memory: 2*1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500
VGA: Sapphire HD2900Pro, unmodded
HDD: Samsung 250GB sataII
PSU: Corsair HX620W

Max validation @ 4986MHz
the cpu got serious fsb wall @ 552mhz :(

Nice clocks! :clap:

Are you going to flash PRO->XT for better CF performance?

How much vgpu you needed for 874MHz core?

Keep up good work! :up:

vgpu was 1.2v. if flashing can keep vgpu 1.2v constantly like xt vgpu has, it worst to be flashed. the main problem is if you pump core fsb higher, it is always setting the vgpu back to 1.1v. so we culdn't get over 900 GPU freq.

With the Vgpu not sticking dont you have to set the clocks first then set the voltage ?

I just purchased the exact same card today!(2900pro)
What program are you using to alter the clocks?
and I heard these cards were "locked"
would you mind telling me more about how you acomplished altering the clocks?

I also tried running 3dmark05 3 times with the new 2900pro installed
and every time i tried to click the online button to see my scores
it woudlnt let me view them, would you know anyting about that?

thanks in advance!:D
