If theres a tweak for that id like to know as well, thats quite a bit more that what ive been able to get at 5.2 which is only a little over 35K.

[G.Foyle]

Looks like PhysX was not really disabled. Sometimes you can disable physx in nv control panel and it will show disabled in GPU-Z, but still work in Vantage. You can also (deliberately) disable physx after running vantage but before running GPU-Z.

[SteveRo]

Agree, doesn't look right unless there is a trick or tweak we do not know about.

I chatted with some people about it already. Its bugged CPU test 1.......cpu test 2 would be much higher if physx was on.

[Tiltevros]

ehmm
im taking part on the Hwbot.org contest UCBench 2011
Top spot in 8x rank i know big boys havent played that yet but we dont loose anything to have 10 points for us

[SteveRo]

All right Mr. Tiltevaros! Excellent work!

here is something from me from 3DmarkVantage with dual E5520 @ 3544Mhz
and yes his Cpu score are bugged

Congrats to SteveRo for finding a 5.5+ 2600K today!
I'm sure that you can get a nice '05 and '06 score as well as bump your other GTX 480 and 5870 runs up now!
Go go go!
Got a few 2600Ks coming in, maybe one will be decent...
Does microcenter still carry these chips and the boards?

Dumo jsut scored a gem at microcenter this weekend in NY.
I got my best PC vantage score tonight. I think I need to insulate the 1366 setup finally and get some ln2 this week. I havent really benched in 2 months.
steve nice going man. Im watching your submissions on the bot tonight and freaking out. Nice Tilt. I need to try that bench out.

[SteveRo]

Thanks guys, yes both of my last 2 SB (53x, 55x) I got at microcenter Fairfax, VA.

I believe they are still selling the chips not sure about the boards though.

I wouldn't mind having another GB SB board as backup for my UD5 - might be hard to come by at the moment.

Wow, you guys are on fire!





That's a great reason for my 2000th post as well!

Looked it up and they have chips at both stores in GA and in MD, didn't check other stores....
No boards available.
Got 4 random 2600Ks incoming, maybe one will be decent!

[SteveRo]

Wow - 4 MORE 2600ks! Including this 4 how many is that for you now?
I've sampled 3 so far (51x, 53x, 55x) - might do more - not sure yet.
Remember when 920s went from C0 to D0 stepping - could that happen to SB?

[chew*]

Msimax found a 5.6 gig chip.

Guess I can use it for 3d

I'm jealous...... Really gotta find a good one now.

My first three were stable at 51x, 52x, and 50x. This will be chip 4-7 for me.
Have no idea about stepping.

[Hoss331]

If you happen to get an extra good one out of that group that you dont need id be willing to take it off your hands. I got a second one yesterday and its no better than what I have, although it would do about 106.8 blck.

Going to have all my XS teammates on my list now...
Never know!

Steve is still getting faster runs now and is jumping in the rankings! He's nearing 600 points global total and top 50.
Amazing what a 5.5 SB can do.

It doesn't seem fair that so much success is up to so much luck.
Has it always been like this?
In just 2d - no 3d yet - going from SB 53x to 55x has netted 61 global points in just 3 evenings of tweaking and I'm not done yet.

Preety much steve but you will find quickly its a rat race everytime new hardware comes out.

Soon as a new GPU comes out bye bye 3d globals, same for cpu.

Only diff now is ln2 benchers have no edge as far as CPU/2D goes.

Global points are hard to keep unless you can throw some money around.

Hardware points are much easier to keep, don't help my ranking but helps team and is much cheaper for me.

[SteveRo]

Ok - well then - I guess I'm living thru my 1st cycle.
I remain surprised and a little taken aback by how much luck plays into it all.

I hear ya. This is the way it is and now you're feeling it, but at least you have been pretty lucky so far!
Some SB chips arriving today, and all I have is my P8P67 Pro....
Guess I'm going to have to learn to OC with this thing.

[SteveRo]

^ I thought you had a Gigabyte board?

[Linuxfan]

^ I thought you had a Gigabyte board?

I did but decided to just keep the Asus....

[SteveRo]

learning curve for you my friend.
don't forget if installing xp (and vista?) you need to set the HDD controller to ide (it defaults to sata) otherwise not even the CD based windows will start up.
I returned my P8P67 cause i thought it was broke but it was probably just this - now I have no backup board, I think i will need to remindy this.
