man those are some KILLER scores with those cards!!!
i dont feel so bad with my scores, at iffy clocks i was hitting 5k on 2k5 and 14k on 2k3, not bad for the setup in sig :P

so what kinda bost you guys seeing with a the new conroe stuff? im curious if you guys have same card clocks, on the difrent boards to compare, cause im wondering how much a gain i could see.

i will have to setup my setup for benching im kinda curious what i t can do now :P

Sticked in my X850XT yesterday too, to see what can do with it. I tried to go for first spot on ORB, it was on 51k when i looked before i started benching. But moonman had the same idea on the same evening and beat me by about 800 Points! Was fun to see what this old card is capable of!

Your 01 is really annoying, I'm trying my best but I cant match your card clocks. This is mine, I'm second on X800 series on the ORB. Got a 7900GS now though, so I reckon I could win.

Playin a little bit on air, need to re-mod this old bench card I suppose

[funkflix]

Nice Nature! Eshbach timings?

[G H Z]

No that's just LOD

[funkflix]

Thought so, but i'm just @ 345 FPS with 640/636. But i use 4.12 Catalyst, it is normally faster on the other tests. Which one do u use?

[G H Z]

This is the latest approved ATI driver 6.9's I believe, I'd give them a shot. Check out Ripper's Nature

[funkflix]

Looks really strong at nature, should give them a try!

thx , geuse ill have to buy me a X800 back again to shot that 60k out of the air .
card whase on wc and cpu air for that run long time back .

Someone already cracked teh 3k barrier on '06 with a X850? I tried it today with Conroe @ 4000MHz + X850XT @ 640/636MHz, but i only got 2887 points.. it looks really hard to break that 3k! With my old amd setup i had 2812 points, but the ati was clocked to 669/651MHz, and the Opteron 146 to 3100MHz.

Moon & tiborrr's run, all air cooled - 55498 ... and this is just the beggining, Mike, u better watch your back

Very impressive. I love seeing huge heatsinks strapped to video cards. Those clocks are also real strong for air.

Has anyone tried Win2K on Conroe yet??

[Moonman]

I'll report in a few hours.:thumbsup:
I just have to find installation CD.

[Gautam]

I wish the only X8XX I had on hand wasn't AGP.

Btw Moonman, I never did forget about those 5 points.

[Moonman]

Btw Moonman, I never did forget about those 5 points.

Neither do I.

[tiborrr]

I just have to find installation CD.

It's at my place, remember?

We'll give it another go in the days coming.

[Moonman]

I'll look under my bed. There's always a backup.

Yep, my bench was on Win2k.

@moonman & tiborrr

What was ur temps on the X850 with that cooler? I have onyl installed a stocl Revoltec Graphic Freezer Pro, but the cooler isn't that bad!

[Gautam]

Yep, my bench was on Win2k.

IC now...strange though, CH is strong, but the lobbies aren't.

Perhaps XP is indeed faster for these procs?

[Moonman]

Well, I beleive that Win XP is THE OS for C2D.
Properly tweaked offcourse.

With 1.7V on GPU we had about 28 °C idle and around 45 °C load.
tiborrr, correct me if I'm wrong.

[funkflix]

Maybe it is just because of the 25MHz more on GPU, moonman and tiborrr have? Don't know. I try to mod my cooler with a 120x120mm and try to go for more Vgpu and MHz, i was just on 1,64V.

The problem i have with WinXP is, that '01 often stops with an error-screen, something with a *dll or DirectX, but i have teh same poblem with my GX2 on XP. Never seen this happen on Win2k.

My temps was ~ the same on idle, but did not checked load.

Hmm well, I considered the GPU, but I'm sure you realize we're talking about mostly CPU dependent tests here, even though X850 bottlenecks C2D hard.

I too had that DLL problem with XP, even on X1900CF. Very annoying, so I switched to Server 2003. It also turned out to be about 800 points faster than XP with the X1900's, but a friend tested it on X850CF, and it was slower than XP there.
