Glad to hear it - though with your luck I am scared what I'm up against :D Not to mention FX-55 and Vapochill LS :toast:

First 03 run: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3947996

Having terrible throttling problems at the moment :( When above the 620 range on the core and above 450 range on ram card randomly throttles back to 500/350.

Both using Radlinker and RivaTuner :( Looks like I'll have to resort to water sooner than I wished to :(

looks like memory clocks give a massive boost with the 9600's then.

very nice juliette, let the fun begin

Indeed. Minor improvement in 03: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3950337

Minor improvement in 05 : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=830228 - getting there :)

New score in 01 : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8562515

NEW TRIFECTA!

What amazed me was the goo Ati put on the card as "thermal paste". I wanted to change it with AS5, but lo behold, the goo felt like normal chewing gum! I had to use cleaning benzine and isoprophyl alcohol to get rid of it.

Nonetheless, should give me some more mhz on the core ;) Will mount water later next week.

Screens below. Shame althes pulled his score, now he'll take me down for 05 I'm sure :D

Sounds like you are having fun with the X600XT , good luck !

What actually is an X600XT, is it a suped up 9600 ? I'm a bit dumb when it comes to Ati sometimes ...

Regards

Andy

PCI-e version of the 9600XT

Scores will be coming shortly.

Good althes. The 6515 drivers gave a few points boost btw., though not worth publishing. Evt. check out screens.

Have to mount the water soon, 621 / 452 is the max the card will go really :( At least now it's stable in all benches.

I have a feeling that my Trifecta will be taken down very very quickly, my back up scores are not high enough to challenge your 639 / 460 possibilities in 05 :)

The 6525 drivers are the best at the moment

Hmm... I'm in with Sapphire card (never even tried to overclock it, hehe)...

Though I propose to give a lil' bit bigger time scale - i.e. up to 30th of May. 6 days isn't enough for a challenge IMO.

Nice yo see you join the action f13

Your 2400 is broken.
I cant submit any scores for 3d03 or 3d01 any help.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3951325

I still cant submit any scores is futuremark down.
Beginning to get on my nerves

Can't upload my anything either, with more testing, 6525 is the best.

btw. are you using another card or what? The user email is different. Please write in a NAME to ensure it is you, not just "XS.org" :p:

Ok juliette, will right in my name.Sorry about that.Nope using same card.Just messing with ya.

Alright! Just won an auction on ebay for a powercolor x600 xt 256mb (not a bad price at $81).... now just to wait for it to get here so I can join you guys! :)

I bet gocchin will dominate in 01SE ;) - And properly 03+05 as well :P

But for sure in 01SE, hehe..

cool goochin, nice card.

Very nice!

I don't think there is any 100% of anyone dominating, as even 01 we are all GPU limited, though a good CPU will help of course. Getting a good clocking card is more important! Of course 256mb is a plus ;)

Depending how well my card does after I mount the water (the TEC I have to cut into the neoprene, as I have 2 caps in the way).

Quoting Robot Wars, "Let the games begin" :D

edit - saw your name althes :e ROFL :e

#21

I guess gocchin will hit about... - 25000-27000 marks... Depending if he choices to use Win2k or winxp ;)

01SE is VERY CPU/mem based... - I gained about 1500 marks by raising corespeed 92 mhz !! - And gfx-mem 84mhz

- 12k

This is a x600xt, or basically a PC ICE 9600xt. It is only CPU dependent if it is not limited by GFX, which it is.

WR with 9600xt with DI is 20100. So dream on. If he breaks the 21000 marks I will send him a postcard saying congrats.

Hmm, my bad, fought it was somewhere near 9500 :) - But... Still... 25000 should be doable... - The performance leep by using win2k instead of WinXP will up the score 1,2k or such... - And.. If my memory aint totally wasted... Gocchin got quite a CPU :P 600 mhz faster, and... FX class...

- 12k

Don't think its anywhere near possible, the 6600 vanilla cards have enough trouble with that. When proshop-direkte sends my new drive I'll be smoking win2k as well :)

Gocchin, if you beat the 25K mark I will send you a bouquet of flowers :D

And I will send Hell Angels if you dont !!

Just kiddin' :P

Thanks guys but I'm sure Juliette and althes will be great competition... even if my cpu is strong it's a lot of luck too.. and ambient temps are now up since summer is around the corner so my OC's will not be as high as winter time ;)

Also who knows how this xt will clock... maybe it sucks, which is why the guy was ebaying it!! :)

And of course I run w2k for 01... it's the only way :)

Hmm, your aint gonna use aircooling gocchin :P - Go for the phasechange / cascade etc. :D

Hehe, I have my "old" 66GT block in my water loop, so no water yet. I have an Eng. Lit. exam on Tuesday, then 2 weeks break before Math A/O and Geography + Bio.

In other words, new water block will be on, Maxtor 16mb cache drive with Win2000 loaded in, and hopefully a 10K ohm VR :D

As you say gocchin, its all luck in my opinion. Althes has way better memory, 488 is amazing. 452 is the max for mine without any heatsinks and no mods. The core is good for 624 with stock air and no mods.

Pretty good for my luck I say :D Good luck gocchin, though you probably don't need it :D I wonder what paste is on the card, I had LITERALLY chewing gum. Had to use frickin' benzin to get it off :confused:

12k, get a x600xt as well :D they go cheaply, got mine from fx51 at oc.dk for 350 :D

I definitely won't use air... I will use at least water... and if Juliette and althes are really kicking my butt I'll whip out the phase change ;)

The memory really is luck, the x700 pro I used had crappy memory but a good core.... I'll have to look into some volt mods too....

Like you I'm quite busy, full time job and about to start benching the x800 xl class too :)

Hehe

Well... Im low on cash :) - Gonna get a driving licens :) - Had 3 hours theory already.. :)
Im only to pay 1/3, my parrents cover the rest but still' - Thats like 3000 DKK - Then Im gonna get some new cooling which I expect will be 1500 DKK (waterchilling).. And a R520 is just around the corner... If it comes, I'll buy it :D - But If it doesnt I'll might get a x600 :-), and a couple of 200gb's as well..

BTW... Im benching on a 8gb HDD from 97 I think :P - very slow disk - but hey, it works :P

Phase change? If you do that I'll get a PC ICE cascade and whoop it on :D I'll look into some vmods as well, in the worst case force Shamino to look into it :)

Yeah juliette look for some vmods I cant find any right now.

i just did 5580 in 03...gotta grab that last bit...

dfi board divider is broken so my 64 is only going at 2.34ghz...looks like im out of the competition =(

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3956109

Can anyone get in on this I may have to go grab a X600XT :) If so I saw air mentioned water peltiers and now phase change. What are you limiting this to? Is it ok to DI the cpu but run either air or H2O on the card? Also what about some chilled water (no not a water chiller but ice cold water) ;)

harleybro anyone can join in! It's all for the sake of having fun of course and pushing each other to score the best we can :)

I'll probably go vapochill on the cpu but water on the vid card....

Cool time to get shopping :)

x600pro allowed right? :p: Its the cheapest not completely suck refurb card for 50 dollars I can find to go with a 3000+ venice under DIce :D

sounds good afireinside

So maybe we should all warm our systems up and then start submitting scores say next Saturday? It would be cool to kind of have a real time battle :)

What do you think Juliette and athles?

(though I'm still waiting for my x600 xt to come in the mail!)

gocchin you going for the 128 or 256? Since I am still pretty new to this just wondering which might oc better.

I thought about that... I ended up getting a good deal on a 256mb one but I think althes and juliette have 128mb ones... I guess it's yet to be seen which one will OC better...

This should be fun... But with an FX55@3.3ghz everyone should just quit already :lol:

I may or may not be getting it. I need a 24 pin PSU and UEI DT200 as well.

anyone have any volt mod guides? I can't seem to find one...I looked up the regulator chips but can't seem to find a sense leg??

If the 9600XT's are anything to go by then the 128's are better clockers on the memory.

I am all set to go, will be uploading some scores I ran this weekend.
curious to see how the 256mb one does.
I hope everyone is set to have some fun.

the most i do is air on the cpu and water on gpu, i have no phase change

might do some air and stock volt runs once I get my dfi board
I picked up a x600xt vivo almost new for us$75
not bad since new ones in Australia cost about us$190

Great to see so many join! Terrible that you have better cards! I have a Lit exam tommorrow so I can't bench today.

Hopefully that harddrive gets here soon.

The challenge is limited to "x600 series" cards. So you can use your pro's, 256mb versions whatever. However, no DI on the chips. I would like to keep this in the realm of conventional benching, so for the GFX, only AIR - WATER - TEC - CHILLED WATER. As for DI on the cpu etc. it depends what the others think. gocchin's LS is still conventional cooling, as you can pick it up round the corner and its ready to go (on the cpu mind you), but DI ruins the point of this challenge. We can always do an "open" x600 challenge, but for now, keep in mind that this is a poor mans challenge to some degree :woot:

I hope you understand the point, the moment we bring in DI its all about who has a more DI and the tweaking goes away. gocchin's FX55 is big, but I firmly believe we're GPU limited. In other words, I don't think I'm sending flowers to anyone :D

Gocchin: Next saturday right? Yeah, sounds pretty good :) I need to get a sub $100 UEI DT200 and that harddrive, then I'm smoking :) I think I'll use a VR this time instead of pencil, my last attempt went none too well if you remember (1,8VGPU through my 66gt :D)

Pretty funny that a while ago althes had a trifecta and no one was benching x600 cards - now there are quite a few :p:

althes, this is only about fun. This is a 70 buck card, unlike my x850xt - this is fun to bench because in the worst of cases, you'll get another one off ebay hoping its any good :D

As for the scores, should we say SUNDAY 15th MAY 22:00 CET for a real time battle? It's not score decisive, just to see how well we fare until further notice. Keep in mind some people still have to win that auction on ebay :p:. I think the first 3 points are hereby rendered pointless :) #4 and #5 still hold though :D

I didnt mean anything harsh just saying all I have to bench with is air and water so it will be fun to see if we can give gocchin a good thrashing with his fx55 and phase change. :p:
Let the fun begin and good luck on exams glad I am out of that rat race. :D

Damnit no DIce on CPU? Thats no fun...

You read my mind :p: Found out my x600xt has 2 small caps which hinder me from installing the tec :( So untill further notice untill water, and no score upload untill Sunday :)

Your thoughts... You can do those runs, but that defies the purpose of benching mid end cards, as if you have DI on the CPU then we might as well be benching high end cards.

I hope you see the point that we want as many as possible to participate, and the moment someone slaps on DI (or phase change on CPU) we're "back up in the big leagues" and the "little guys" don't have a chance to play.

If I was desperate, I can get hold of LN2, but that defies the purpose of this challenge. Let's be little guys again where tweaking is the heart and soul :clap:

:toast: I like that idea. Ok I won't be dicing my CPU even though I just got it running @ 3360 this weekend. :D I'll stick to air and water. I just got my order in so I should see it tomorrow. I went the 256 route also even though I see the 128 is clocked almost 140 higher on the mem. :eek: I figured if gocchin was the only one running a 256 might as well add another for comparisons sake. I am also curious how the ram differance will fare. So final score upload is this weekend? Or is that just the first round? Very nice contest you started Juliette :up:

Just saw my spelling mistake "heart and soul" :D Hangovers do wonders to the human mind :rolleyes::D

This Sunday will be first round. As gocchin said, a "live battle" will be fun :) we can adjust the time to suit our US friends as well, I really don't mind, I'm on a 2 week break in between exams :D

If you want to harleybro, use phasechange on the CPU - phase change for CPU is still within the realm of conventional cooling.

Althes, something tells me we are getting pounded unless we perform spectacular miracles with vmods and tweakind :D

Ok I'll have to throw a few 130CFM deltas over the stock heatsink if I can't DIce :D

Still won't have the card in time to compete, though :(

Juliette would love to try phase change if I had $800+ for the system DI only cost me about $40-50 for a weekend to run so it's much cheaper. Here's a suggestion you might like. Maybe do stictly air this weekend next weekend water or TEC and so forth this way you'll have a nice comparison on cards running air then water and so forth.

Perhaps. I would like to keep this open to as many people as possible, but for the "final" runs it seems as if it's inevitable that people use better cooling :)

After all, 1st of June 12:00 CET means whoever is top of the list wins. Though it saddens me to see DI and such methods used even in the mid end sector :(

Ok we got a game on.
juliette, i think we better hope for some miracles.
We are going to get pounded, especially if goochin does what we all expect.

Will upload scores tonite from this weekend. this evening after work.

I wish i had PCI-X board so i can join u guys , but ... :D

Don't be so quick to judge guys, my rig isn't even up and running and the guy still hasn't shipped out my x600 xt yet so I may not even make it in time to bench for the deadline! And for all we know that card might be crap! ;)

Jeese, deadline :) It's all about who comes out on top :D But strictly theoretically, your FX-55 will give you good boosts in the less GPU dependant tests.

I say if we're all on water, its about luck and tweaking ability. If one compliments the other, then its a done deal.

Yeah I vote for water :stick:
Think my 4000 may give gocchin's FX a run for the money at similiar temps. :p: Sorry just getting ready for the egging and pushing in the competition. Just checked and my sapphire is packed and ready to ship. :D Any words on vmods yet? I saw the thread started but have been searching with no luck so far. :(

Just uploaded my scores from this weekend.

The store ran out of Maxtor 250gb drivers buhahahaha :shrug: Have to wait TWO more days, by then gocchin and the others will be fired up :)

But have no fear, I will come back and regain the trifecta :D

harleybro asked about cooling methods again. I want to use conventional cooling. This means water or air, however cooled you want it (he suggested placing a bowl of DI near the card :D), why not? I'll open my windows and get 4C ambient ;)

Of course my x850xt will be home shortly so benching will be quite nice :D ATI POWA! :woot:

Cool thanks Juliette! My card is shipped and should be on my doorstep when I get home :D . I just have to prep my 2 HD's one for xp and one 2000 ;) Maybe get some benches up tonight. :)

Anytime harley :) I cant stop people from using DI or LN2, for the top marks, but as cartman would say, "get out this challenge" :D

Lol yeah was thinking I may do DI but not post it and save it for after the contest for now it sounds more fun to just use air and water to see what they are capable of. Also think it will help me work on my all around tweaking abilities. :D Now if we could only get the vmods. :confused:

Well got it up and runnin just ran a quick test using stock cooler on card and air on cpu. 16,681

Aargh harleybro, pump up the bass :D Nice CPU clocks ;)

HDD is here ;)

Yeah hopefully tonight I'll play around with it more. I definately think I'll be going water sooner then I wanted to. Only did 2 runs so far still need to tweak my ram and fsb also. After hitting those clocks on air think I may be able to hit 3gig on water. ;)

Still no sign of my x600 xt... oh yeah and I forgot to mention I sold my FX-55 a month ago.... I've only got a 3500+ Newcastle right now but another FX-55 is on the way :)

Hopefully this chip is better than the last...

In the meantime I'll have to bench with the 3500+....

:banana:

The more the merrier! Win2k has just been installed, about to take down the 01SE score :D

Hows the ebay man doing? My x850xt is delayed as well, must be a conspiracy of some sort :nono:

BTW if I bench with Win2k, save the project, can I then upload it through WinXP? My ISP is the opposite of flexible and I dont want to go through the hassle of having to re-register the IP.

I believe it shouldn't be a problem. I have had issues uploading in the past. So I would remove the HD and stick it on my other rig. Then when you open the file use 01 to open it. Once the screen comes up go for the online services tab or whatever and you can send a saved project. I am not sure if I have done it with 2000 but definately from one HD w/ and OS while using a differant HD's OS to upload.

Well new card on the way. I was a little leary in the beginning when I pulled the card out of the bag and there was 2 stains (like dried H20). When I ran 2K1 theres was a few artifacts at 10mhz over stock on the mem. :( I turned and ran the tester on ATI tray tools. It was artifacting below stock mem speed. I called the shop and am sending this one back. In the meantime I should have another by tomorrow of the 128mb flavor. I had also noticed my card was detected at 290 instead of the whopping 300 it should show at stock. The 128 is stock of 370.

Win2k :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed me pretty badly :( For now I'm on Server2003 untill I pass all my files down onto the new drive and then use an IDE drive for Win2k :)

I'm still waiting for my card and chip... :(

Now lets see if the shop can send me a drive which doesnt require RMA:rolleyes:

Juliette you having real problems with hd so am i just had a maxtor give me the click of death. It was a really fast drive also.

I *have* a Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9, which is only 60GB. I bought a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250gb (16mb cache and all) to use as my primary drive, and the DM9 as my benching drive.

Unfortuantely the DM10 didnt like the idea of being fully functional on arrival :(

FX-55 arrived yesterday, but it doesn't seem as fast as my previous one, at least not yet... I tried benching in the x800 xl class yesterday...

the x600 isn't even close to getting here yet according to fedex tracking... :(

Wow it seems like everyone is having bad luck so far. Hopefully this bad luck streak will turn around before the contest ends. :(

Well new card blows the other away. :)
19,349
Loadin XP now and have to dl 05 and 03 gettin ready to change to water since my card seems maxed. ;)

Just ordered mine, should be there mid week along with my MB/CPU for me to play with.

Anyone have a list of volt mods for this card?

So far no volt mods.

I shot an email to viper john to see if the X700 mods are the same. :) Looks like I am stuck on air this weekend. I thought my maze4 would fit now I just need to find a water block to fit the card. :(

I am using the danger den maze waterblock.

As long as it was reasonably priced you picked the right one ;) No time to test my x600xt right now, HDD came too late :(

Nice result with that card harleybro! :toast:

Hey thanks Julliette. Well taht's the only one I'll be posting today. I did run a quick 05 and got about 5390 but had drive issues. Spent the day reloadin OS's and cleanin them. I have to use my DI b4 it's gone so I won't be runnin the 600 anymore till during the week. ;)

Yeah, I'll be using nLite on a Win2k install sometime tomorrow or so. Czech Rep just won in ice hockey, so I have an obligation to get wasted :)
