SF3D OC Meeting - (Oct.-09) Some sinlge GPU records?

**SF3D** · 10-03-2009, 01:49 AM

Hi all!

It is time to do some benching again. Personally, these last months have not been very good in this hobby, but I am confident that future will be better.

It was time to invite some friends to my place and have some fun. Members of this small meeting are Macci, Neoforce, Pofigist, Lidon and Me.
3 Guys from Russia and 2 from Finland

We will use AMD gear and VGA's are obviously the new 5870 models.

Here is some preliminary scores done by Macci!

Vantage X preset with one 5870 card. -45c°. 1.4V

Vantage X preset with 3 x 5870 cards. -40c 1.4V

So, these are the starting levels and let's see how far we can go.

Macci is preparing motherboard at the moment and some of us are preparing the cards. Serious OC will start in few hours.

On the evening we will relax and go out of course

Stay tuned!

**Lightman** · 10-03-2009, 03:40 AM

Can't wait

BTW any chance of finding this BIOS for HD5870?
I hate clocking my GPU with AMD Tool (no PowerPlay)!

**TMWH** · 10-03-2009, 03:55 AM

Will check this thread often

**sofos1990** · 10-03-2009, 05:03 AM

Good luck guys

**Kabauterman** · 10-03-2009, 05:15 AM

You need a new BIOS on the 5870? For Coldscaling, like on 4890?

OK. Weekend and meeting is over.

It was fun, but really exhausting. Sorry about silence, but we really had no time

We were focusing to Vantage X preset on LN2, but weekend was full of surprises and failures. We spend hours and hours trying to find solution to our problems, but there wasn't any.
Problem was really weird. When we tried to overclock our graphics cards and system at the same time, it was always locking up. It was system failure, cause we could run our cards better, if CPU + other parts were clocked lower.

Chipset problem or motherboard power supply?

Well, we got some pretty ok single card runs, cause then system and VGA was working like they should with one 5870 card

Here is some crappy pictures which were taken during last evening:

Setup:

AMD Phenom 955BE / 965BE (Both real retails )
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe 1.02G
A-Data 1600X
Thermaltake TP 1200W x 2
3 x 5870 (One died before the real tests)
SF3D LN2 pots (LHe / LN2 models tested)
Windows 7 + Beta VGA drivers

Here are the scores:

Single GPU 03:

Single GPU 05:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=5014189 05

Single GPU X preset (could not beat the previous run):

Multi GPU Vantage X Preset (3x 5870) Fourth card is dead

Vantage P preset just for fun at low clocks

So this was the sum up from this meeting.

Multi GPU scores were not as good as expected, cause 4th card was dead and there was issue with motherboard/system.

Next time cards will get more clocks and we have to figure out the system problems

Thanks all!

P.S I hope you got home safely my Russian friends! Better scores next time

**massman** · 10-04-2009, 11:44 AM

C3 retail? Or are you just messing with my mind?

Nice scores, too bad things didn't work out perfectly in the end. Och well, some days it just doesn't happen ...

**FatAlbert** · 10-04-2009, 11:46 AM

say hello to RB-C3

SF3D, can you just tell how high c3 can go for 3d ? 03/05/06 I'm not playing vantage.

second card was vmoded or it was stock v ?

**elmor** · 10-04-2009, 01:08 PM

I like that 965

Really nice scores, I have to try LN2 on the 5870 really soon.
