Foxconn Blackops. 9800GX2 (28.9K 06)
I see so many 9800GX2 threads here :D
Well these are my first test. I got this card yesterday, so I haven't got much time to play with it.
Messy setup:

This wasn't good bench day at all. Everything that can go wrong, did go wrong :D All parts are still working, so I quess everything is ok after all.
I could be the happy 29K result owner, but 06 test always crashed at some point. I tested it about 100 times today :rolleyes:
And last thing is the driver. I did tests with 174.74 and 01 was bad.
Ok.. the screens now.

More to come when I get everything work like they should. GPUs could also be more cold than with stock air.
Hmmm.. some 9800GX2 investigations
Me and Zannema was playing little detectives tonight and we found out, that 9800GX2 might be using same PCI-E overclocking method as 9600GT.
Everything else at same speed. Only PCI-E frequency raise.
First only PCI-E frequency raising. ( everyting else at same speed in every run)
100MHz PCI-E = 76.106
105MHz PCI-E = 77.410
110MHz PCI-E = 78.788
115MHz PCI-E = 80.554
If it uses same pattern as 9600GT, the first frequencys are equal to GPU speeds 600 / 636 / 669 / 709 and so on...
Then we tested little more, but now we raise only GPU clocks:
100MHz PCI-E + 660MHz gpu speed = 78.230 (same as 110MHz PCI-E only)
100MHz PCI-E + 700MHz gpu speed = 79.100 (no score to compare, cause 709MHz is the next step)
Then we do the combination test:
105MHz PCI-E + 630MHz gpu speed = 78.6 (the same score as 110MHz PCI-E or PCI-E 100MHz and gpu 660MHz)
So, these cards are having the same PCI-E overclocking method as in 9600GT. If you set your PCI-E frequency higher, graphics card will automatically overclock.
If this is true, we have to know the exact steps. Or if you use 100mhz PCI-E speed, you can find the limit of your VGA. After that you can calculate what PCI-E speed you can use and how much oc your vga can take after that.
One Rivatuner update please :up:
