Todays fun ( Q9550 + GTX285 )

[Boulard83]

The picture speak for itself !



Went from ~19500 at 3.825ghz and 694mhz GPU to 21364 with these !

Im really happy, my goal was to break into the 21k club

With my 21/7 3.825ghz and 725 gpu im at 20k.

P.S. these are flashed clocks, i also tweeked the FAN slope so its REALLY better now !

What ram are you using? really need 6/6/6/18 for just 490mhz?

[Ket]

Nice result, but 6-6-6-18 timings are REALLY crappy.. unless its super el cheapo RAM you can go to 5-5-5-15 easy, possibly even 4-4-4-12

[Boulard83]

This is fast setup with ddr2 800 mem

YES it can do 5-5-5-15. Ills do it later on the road

[Boulard83]

ill be back with better MEM timing. Maybe 100 more pts

Windows 7 PRO 64 just knocked at the door. Ill be able to run DX11 test and DX10 !

Hmmm...can the chip make this much difference or are the GTX 260 216 65nm and GTX 285 really not that far...these are 24/7 clocks by the way, completely stable, gaming and productivity work. This is on EVGA Classified E759 and the CPU has Vdroop enabled. Load voltage is ~1.39V measured.

The chip makes the difference. Here's my 260/216 but i7 920 at 4347mhz.

Here's a single 285 on the same system same cpu clocks.

260/216 clocked to the teets, 285 bone stock vanilla.

+1
I7vsQ9xxx clock for clock have 500-700 more points in 3Dmark06 ...

Tuning my mem timing with this speed gonna yeild few points, but never enough to reach I7. And never a 4.4ghz I7 !

The main goal was to break into the 21k and its done. Not bad for single card(gpu) solution. I was waiting for Nvidia to come out with FERMI but it seems to be FAR ... maybe ill take a HD5870.... Damn Nvidia !

@ReverendMaynard
these Score are with heavy OCed cards ... 9k+ in the test ...

I think your score is brilliant. And my 260 was heavily overclocked but the 285 was dead stock, that was the first run. Oc'd it's running 25k.

@ReverendMaynard
THX alot.


There is the 5-5-5 run .... NO GAIN !

[Boulard83]

Just ordered a Saphire HD5850 !!!

Seems to be STOCK OCable to 900+ mhz.

ill be back with result !
