WOW, higher than I expected allready.

I wonder if we can top 10K, I bet we can.

[Jeff]

I'm going to guess that 2x my initial score will win... or around 13k.

[[XC]thewildblue]

Well as we are putting in scores here are mine so far.

Barton 2500 @ 11.5x 217 Maze 4 straight water.

3.08 Drivers Windows XP
Directx 9

Card @ 265 Core and 265 mem with 268 for Nature.
All air cooled with just Ramsinks and a CPU cooler on GPU.

8961

Cant quite do 9k.

We need some volt mods.

By the way XP seems to be quicker than Windows 200 at this point. 8914 was best with 2000 Sp3. But I may still try more....lol

These are great cheap cards !

[[XC]thewildblue]

Wow Im 7th overall on the front page !!!


Bet that will soon change once everyone else gets their cards !

[Jeff]

Looks like you have a great card. My little guy craps out at 259/230.

Volt mods will get this guy in gear... or burried.

[saaya]

mine gives me artifacts above 230 memory, but i can bench at 270+ gpu with the zalman heatpipe on it

Man! your memory is really fast...mine artifacts @ 230Mhz. Do you have a voltmod?

Mine does that with a default cooler, but my memory craps out just before 230Mhz

[saaya]

RB had the same problem and stuck some ramsinks on the memory and it does 250 now iirc

Can you check to see what memory chips you have on your card? They should be Samsung and end in TC50, TC45, or TC40.

Just curious if you and I have the same chips.

[NoStra]

I think my GPU clocks are locked....there is no difference between 200Mhz @ the GPU or 300Mhz.

Can someone look at that?

[Jeff]

What are you using to overclock the GPU?

Try using the included utility if you are not already using it.

[[XC]thewildblue]

No volt mods.....

Im using a combination of powerstrip and the utility to overclock. My GPU goes to 300 but it doesnt seem to make a blind bit of difference. I think that both the mem and gpu need to be equal. Then again it could be a bug with powerstrip. My knowledge of "hacking" drivers is very limited.


Mine would artifact quite heavily at 250 before I put Ramsinks on. Now it artifacts at 260 but I can go higher and get a result. I have also put a sink on the back mosfet....Didnt notice much difference though.

[NoStra]

I can't use the overclock util with the 3.08 drivers, the slides are locked. Do you have to unlock them or should it work with the 3.08 drivers?

[Jeff]

My new high
8413: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7388532

And the 3.08 drivers work ok for me. Look at the first post in this thread and you can see the core overclocking affecting my score. Hopefully your card is also unlocked.

[NoStra]

I can overclock with the 3.11 drivers...but they are very slow...

With the 3.08 drivers I get witouth clocking the gpu (200/230 = ) a better score than with the 3.11 drivers and the card @ 281/230. Where did you get the 3.08 drivers? Maybe you have the hacked one?

I will try to uninstall the new 3.11 drivers and reinstall the 3.08... brb

[NoStra]

Jeff, what is the difference in performance between the 3.08 en the 3.11 with your system?

[NoStra]

I really don't get it... with the 3.08 drivers I only can clock my memory, with the 3.11 I can clock both. Why can Jeff clock memory AND GPU with the 3.08 drivers?

[[XC]thewildblue]

You should be able to overclock with the 3.08 using the 3dwizard proggy with should be included in the driver. Does your driver contain the whole package ?

Otherwise why not try installing the 53 drivers which does allow ocing, then uninstall (after overclocking first and a few reboots) and install the 3.08 again.

[saaya]

dont use powerstrip, its been a pain in the ass for me ocing the xabre, just change the max clock settings in the setup.ini of the driver, then uninstall the drivers and install them again with the modded setup.ini and you can select any speed in the xabre overclocking utility

[NoStra]

I only have the Xabre308.exe file of 8.40mb. You have another version?

[Jeff]

Great tip Saaya! I changed the .ini file but didn't reload... if that does the trick, then to you sir!

And NoStra... I did have the 3.0755 driver installed first so maybe that has something to do with it? You can get any of the drivers I've found here...

http://www.adventurevision.com/Xabre/

I'll add more Xabre software as I find it(or as people send it to me).

[NoStra]

I'm now downloading the 7.55 drivers....

But check this... http://xabregamers.dgwh.com/modules/mydownloads/

ALL the drivers, ALL the Xabre bios files you can get including a windows flashing util.

[Jeff]

Alrighty then... I'll leave the file on my page too but the Xabregamers site has everything!

Thanks for the link!
