Xtreme Grand Prix - week1

this thread will be opened when the competition is launched.
the first benchmark we will run in the competition will be anounced here at the same day the competition launched, the launch date is not set yet, but will be anounced here, as well as on the front page, so keep checking this thread and the front page so you dont miss the launch. :D

we will close this thread after the week for the first benchmark is over, and will open a new thread for the week two results, etc...

If you want to join the competition then please visit the registration booth HERE
For any feedback please post in the competitions discussion thread HERE

the grand prix has started! :D

the first "track" we will race this week will be 3dmark2003.
you have one week to tweak your "fuels" (cooling) and try different sets of "tires" (drivers) to max out your machines and post a link to the orb showing your fastest round in this racetrack :D

please keep this thread on topic and only post results and dont start a discussion in here, we are around 100 people and things would get messy :D
please only post once in this thread and edit your post if you have new results instead of making a new post for each update, thx :)

if you want to discuss how you best tweak your machine for this racetrack please use this discussion thread :)

all you have to post in this thread is a link to the orb with your highest result so far, BUT it will of course be much more interesting if you post some infos about the run(s) :D

ok, enough talking :D

System running like in the Sig. No Space for any improvement, just to warm here in germany..

12 points higher than my previous best score :woot:

I've finally managed to find some chipset drivers which seem to work reasonably well :). If I have enough time before the competition ends, I'll try for 5400.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4109839

6271 100% stock cooling, moderate overclock on the GPU core (500mhz, up from 425) and video memory. :)

Edit: A little better, still with the 5.3's. 5.6's were a flop.

Best I could do on my x700 on stock air without installing W2K somewhere was 8794 .
I suddenly don't feel bad, that's 15th overall in this card class regardless of cooling method.

That's my max for this track :p:

Looking forward to the next one :D

here is my O3 score http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4028702

7800GTX stock run = 17.5k
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4118419

Cards the worst overclocker ever. Won't even do 470/1260

So I said f' it and ran it stock

Just a quicky I will be optimizing during the day.

Edit: better score :)

Still gonna push some more.

The best i can muster :( Its too damn hot in here, have had no time this week (new job and new house) and the power lead for the boosters gone AWOL.
All specs in ORB compare, differs to the proposed system in the reg thread, 9800pro isnt happy atm, power connector is burning out.

On a happier note, appears to be #1 9500pro on the orb, and the only 64mb anywhere near the top. Sucks in mother nature though, must be the crappy 64mb.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4122031

About all I can get...with those drivers. If I use the 77.72 drivers I can get 5798 points, but their not FM approved for the FX series :(

I think I can get some more out of the core however. run was done at 2.4ghz, 230x10.5. RAM was running 1:1 3-3-3-10 2.8v 470/359 I believe was my video card clocks

here is my core so messed with 5.7 cats at stock settings

Compare URL: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4122130 :woot:
just noticed htese are the latest 5.7 cats of ati site and they are yet to be approved ???

FM :slapass:

lol I've been really busy this week, just not on the comp. a lousy 20k out of a pair a 6800 GTs.

*edit

spent an hour w/ it. bumped it up to 22184... a little bit better, but the cards still have so much potential.

http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?im...rk221850nr.jpg

Well I finally got a semi-decent run in on this new system... still tweaking this evening ..... but at least I made it :D

16023

Ok... getting a little better :toast:

16193

Just gluein some ram sinks on but figured I would post in case the contest ends.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4122155

Edit: Prob. final score.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4122341

Gah....managed to get a quick air run in...still don't have everything for my WC. 19410 7800GTX @ 518/1485, 4400+ @ 300x9 2.5-4-4-8, all stock cooling so far. :(

man i'm having some real troubles... my cooling just cannot handle it :(. 14200 so far on a x800xt agp.... below par imo, but maybe i'll get a good run in after i've left my system to cool down a bit...

Opps, Ill close this around midnight PST.

6027 / 3200+ newcastle @ 2.7 / TCC5 @ 2.5-3-3-10-2T 240FSB / 6800GT/128MB @ 410/850

I suck at 03... It's almost the same as my 05 :x

ye gods i'm having a hell of a time now >.O can't get over 13610 and it keeps resetting the gfx clocks!! and futuremark just says failed submission every time i try and submit

Two hours left and I will announce next test.

My Current best :)
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4120637

ok, well here's my best... i'm sick that the orb wouldnt work when i hit 14200.... even though i thought i'd best it at the time, i've not come close to it again... no idea what's going on with my rig ¬.¬ http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4122539

Thread closes Monday Midnight PST.

Let this be the last time for late entries, future track meets will require entries in time.

If you are registered please get your entry in as we are giving away hardware for each track.

So one more full day? If so that's a bonus think I just found a way to get a few more mhz. out of the mem. ;)

Ok My best run for 03. Untweaked MEM on both the GPU as mobo but hey... The XP install is just 2 hours old :D

Here you go fugger

6823 3Dmarks best run
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4123084

Ugh, to think I practically killed my card for yesterday's score...

Anyway, I don't think I'm gonna get much more out of my air cooling, but I'll push on and see if I can get 20k.

Try pming FUGGER maybe ya can give him a hand. ;)

it seems at the moment I'm top of the bill for AXP :)

Need 7k BADLY :p:

I thought a ricky tweak also worked on XP ? :s

Not a great run, just realised i was running out of time, could get some more card clocks + cpu will go much higher for 3d01, but this damn "heatwave"

reran with some fresh driver tweaks. I had my drivers all set up for things to look *good*. oops. 10,500 with freakin' stock GPU clocks.
