I'd get a 100k vr (easier to obtain). You'll have to measure the voltage as you turn the VR as different types have different number of full revolutions from 0 to max. Besides, at your desired voltage levels you will be adjusting by a few degrees rotation, not full turns, due to log scale on the VRs.

Yah would probably be a wise idea to find vgpu measure point before I go ahead and do it.

[G.Foyle]

Post a pic of the back of your card and I might be able to find the measure point.

i was waiting for a 20k VR for my 4870 and massman's post convince me to try it with a 10k, only problem is i forgot to read stock volts, anyway i just passed 925mhz on gpu, 950 failed tho @ 1.44vcore(stock res is 1k)

Nice going on that 4870! Congrats for setting a new record in Vantage!

I'm waiting for improved 03 and 05 scores!

The 1st card just arrived....
8800 GTS 320MB is ready to bench! I'll try to fit it in tonight.
Edit: looks like it'll be good for about 80 points on air and 110 when I get the waterblock in...
Edit2: Just snabbed an 8800 GT...
Trying to find an 8800 GTX for 110 shipped or less now...

The 8800 series are nice cards... Do you still have your Core 2 setup so you can go for some points in 01 as well?

[Linuxfan]

Don_Dan: nope, sold my E86 to jor3lbr/elano and my ud3p to another guy a few months back or I'd be kicking some 6ghz 01...
Looks like I can get 10 points or more for 01 anyway with my i7 at 5.1.

[Don_Dan]

Too bad, 10 points is good though.

I will go for 01 with my 8800 GT when I have my REX + E8600 going, I just need to figure out why it won't pass 01 at more than 700MHz while 05 would not even crash at 750MHz.


Can someone please find ~40 points?

Yes sir, those 40 points are coming in a few hours, this evening(it's 2pm here)!
I have about 30 points in this card to get today amd vista has at least 30 points that he's going to get today... 13k here we come!

I'm coming, i'm coming. I have a 88GT to bench today, look for about 30-40 points in a few hours!

[mk-ultra]

thanks dan i would get those missing points, but i'm having some issue here

i've run 03 and 05 and i get significant lower score with 50-75mhz more on gpu i don't understand, plus i keep getting "irq not equal or less" BSOD and can't figure it out, sometimes pc wouln't even boot with setting I've run so many times.

i should be good for 06 silver at least when i get this rig working properly
so i'll have to delay aq3,03,05 when i can clock this cpu properly

i'm kinda bum right now, it was going so smooth friday and early yesterday
need a break, and i'll get back to work tonight if possible

[Linuxfan]

Mk-ultra, if you'd like some good hardware points o should have some 8800s for sale when I'm done with them...
good luck with your clocks with those 3dmarks... Hope you can stop the bsods.
I've had a bit of bsod trouble with stable clocks too...

[chew*]

Nice work with the 4870, I actually ripped mine out of my 24/7 rig which is why I didn't beat on it to hard, glad you are picking up my slack. I will follow through on 4890 and 4850 class seeing as both cards are disposable

i might be interested, but i still have work to do with those i have here. I got a gpu pot coming for getting some more cups!
btw, bsod was (i hope so) too high uncore


thanks chew, but can you help me here? or anyone else for that mater?



i can't figure this out, look @ gt2 and gt3....wth is wrong, i could understand if all tests were slower but only 2 with much higher clock on the gpu is weird.

i tried lowering gpu clock to 860 but still same effect

Your bottlenecked cpu wise with the card clocks that high. Try some PCI spped up to like 110. Your probably going to need higher cpu clocks though. Also sometime with ati you need more ram clocks to unlock some power out of the higher gpu.

Well, i had a crappy day of benchmarking. Didn't have the right OS's and 3dmark 06 WOULD NOT work because i was using a 64bit OS. gah.

Anyways, so i just got ONE today (facepalm) Grabbing 3dmark 03 tonight, and benching that in the morning before school.

[Linuxfan]

Also had a little trouble... Wasn't too bad though.
Couldn't get 01 to run... would stop in one of the middle tests... Should I reinstall it?
Its on a fresh XP 32bit install with all of the other 3dmarks working fine... Tried it with the GPU@stock too just to make sure it was't the issue...
Can't wait for the other 8800s to come in!

[thijs]

i couldnt helpt myself either, bidding on some 8800gts / 8800gtx / 8800GT models , they are just to much fun :P didnt hear nothing from my 5870 yet, hope to hear something soon.

You beat my 05 score by a small margin, damn... Keep on pushing, your card is a lot better on shader frequency!

Yeah, reinstall should fix it.


Guys, check this out: Explicit content inside.


I wish more categories looked like the Q9650 Wprime category:




30 points left!

[chew*]

I'll wait for the gigabyte SOC card

[G.Foyle]

Guys... I just checked HWBot for news. Hipro5 is back. Benching hd5870 in vantage at 1420/1420....
I shall now stop benching and bask in the glory of raw megahurtz.

[vistageek92]

Yeah, its a good oc'er. I think i can push it a little more and break into 27k, but i just don't have the time, have some finals this Wednesday. CPU is stock at 202 bclk. Can't get it to go any further, so i am glad i am getting rid of it. Hopefully the next 920 is better.

The issue is likely the v8 cooler plus your voltages. Your next one could be better though.
Maybe I can come over this evening and help you with your oses and break 27k.

Yup planned. Look out for about 30 points!

Take your time buddy, school / real life is more important than benching.

@xoqolatl: Yeah, extreme hwbot ownage by hipro5.

But I thought Hwbot WAS life!

[Don_Dan]

Wait.... you're right. My bad.

[Linuxfan]

7600GT XXX edition incoming...
Thinking about selling my 5870 for a Kingpin GPU pot to max out these cards on something cold...
Still looking for an 8800GTX...
