Fall 2009 XS Cheapazchips 3D Challenge

[Riska]

All my 5 cards have that Hynix mem

[Splave]

I see 3 different makes of ram on various cards. Anyone have an opinion on what's best?

I have the 512mb gigabyte on the egg
844/1200 is aq3 passable so far stock cooler, stock volts havent tryed harder

I'm such a time strapped bastard, I need to force myself to bench my Gigabyte 4670 one of these weekends.

[MTP04]

Here is my best I can get for the "air/water" category of the competition. I'm still on the good old E8600/Rampage combo and I know my setup can't compete too much with i7 power but I thought I'd still post them anyway.

Subzero coming soon.

Great results there man! My cpu has the same batch as yours but on air I can only bench 4600mhz cause its really hot...

First post

Here is my first tests for the competition, im going to take part to air/water category,

Im waiting my watercooling parts for the card and then it goes to solid whos going to mod it, i can run my cpu at least 4.95GHz with air and im plannigt to cool the card with tapwater

EDIT WC parts arrive and quick test so everything works, now the card goes to solid for modding and maybe i can get some results next week, here is a screenshot from furmark run, 640x480 xtremeburning with stock card http://koti.mbnet.fi/kanjoni/furtest4670.jpg

Thanks man. A hot chip could be a good thing how does your chip handle subzero?

Its pretty nice. I had only one Ln2 test with it but it coldboots at -12x and coldbugs at -125 idle and I haven't found the load cold bug yet It is under
- 130.

[s0lid]

Well i've 20Kg of dice here waiting, a Rybas slimpot (thx to kanjoni) and my modded HD4670 :P
I'll do some tests with it with my W3520 rig, not looking for 05 or am3 results just testing 06 and vantage.

[kanjoni]

I got my modded card from s0lid and it died at first boot (10 sec), vgpu was 1.58 and i didnt measure the mem before it died. Dont really know why it died but i think it has something to do with the mem or pwm, so my competition is over. s0lid thanks for modding the card, i just got bad luck with it. Theres no visible fault.

[Riska]

It must be the mem because i have put over 2volts to the core on them with no problem at all

[MTP04]

Sorry to hear that kanjoni, maybe next competition you'll have better luck.

Only 6 more days till its over. I though someone would have posted a 25k in 3D05 already but looks like some people have lost interest or maybe they are just holding out until the last minute to post their best scores??

[kanjoni]

I think so too, when it left from s0lid it worked and vmem was 2.13v, i had those hynix memchips so maybe it was too much for them. Its not so cheap here Finland to take part in these cheapazchips competitions, i used 150€ for the vga and wc gear+modding

I hope i have better luck nex time

... I though someone would have posted a 25k in 3D05 already...

I was hoping to beat your score in 05, with tapwater cooled core i was hoping to run my card 1200/1200. My E8600 was running in my test allmoust 5GHz with air...

[s0lid]

It must be the mem because i have put over 2volts to the core on them with no problem at all

yea that was little interesting since i've 100% same card with same hynix mems. My card have worked about 3 weeks at 2.13V vmem and top peak have been around 2.3-2.4V while OCing.

[Riska]

I had a 298000 score in aquamark but ss got dammaged and i have a 26500 in 3d05 but have to get that hdd to work first to get ss

[s0lid]

Doing some vantage benching :P
Going at 5329 in perf.

[Riska]

What are your card clocked at?

[MTP04]

Here is my latest for 05. I only had a few liters of ln2 left from last weekend, so I didn't get to run AM3 with the clocks that I wanted. But I am happy with this result.

I still dont get my GPU pot. So it is in air.

25273marks

[MTP04]

Nice score TinTin, hope you get your pot soon.

Is anyone else having a problem with a low GT3 score in 3dmark 05 on the first run?
but then a second run right after brings GT3 up by about 7-8 fps and GT2 suffers by about 2 fps?

[MTP04]

Quick post, still benching lol.

I didnt get the scores up in time damn

[[XC] gomeler]

Post it here

I once again have another cheap ass card that will now sit on my shelf, didn't have time to bench my HD 4670 I'd say the "winners" are TinTin and MTP04 but you guys are all winners in my book Hope you guys keep benching these GPUs, I am really curious what it'll do on LN2.

[loonym]

I lost interest after hwbot took it over. They never set up the seperate class for air cooled. 2 cards here still both in the box. Congrats to you guys with the great runs.

Nice score!! Congrats, a new WR....

I burnt one HD4670 IceQ Turbo which is using Hynix GDDR3, the ram overclocks much better than my now Samsung GDDR3 (PCB also a bit different from reference card). For such a 128bit card, ram bandwidth almost dominates the score when pushing to extreme.
