GFX doesn't matter here... FSB is what matters...

EDIT: i assume, that clockgen and nf7s(8rda)vcore results don't qualify due to some doubts that could arise whether system that can't boot with particular FSB is stable even though 3dmark01 can be run...
also i supppose there's just too many ways to "adjust" the score so that's why those apps are sort of prohibited...

Wow. I just had finished an APIC run at 265MHz fsb

Used clockgen to get it from 262... then later wanting to save the screenie I had a lockup due to apic

Gonna try 270 w/out apic

Can post another 262, this time multi 9x

[bachus_anonym]

nice... if it only booted at 265FSB...

Wrong... DFI showing 1MHz for 257MHz fsb

Yeah. Exactly... I can boot into win easily at 270fsb and do sandra.... w/out apic. But here the heat created enters the ring... as Lastviking said

No stability at room temp/ambient of 25°C... 265 is working though maybe I'll post a link tomorrow

[RAMMIE]

My infinity reports
256=0
257=1

I believe it is 258=2 260=4 etc.

Yeah but i don´t save scores that i don´t use on Orb.....And i cant run 3Dmark2001 on a 2Mb pci card...so gfx matter to me..

And the fsb in Orb are not right...

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7483802

I got 11 @268fsb.

And i cane boot @ 270fsb+ if a wants.

Super pi:273fsb+
Sandra: 283.6fsb+
Cpu-z: 291fsb+

But if my screen in 3Dmark2001 @273fsb are not valid for you...i leaving this treat..

Hey. LV don't be so childish

Stay... I don't think anybody would doubt you did it... since you were the pioneer in high fsb ocing of the nf2u400 :thumbsup:

I can do 3dmark at 268 too, everything higher is too unstable by far... Temps are the key Lastviking used for his runs

[bachus_anonym]

LV, don't take it too personal...
i just said that the rules of this ranking are so not to use clockgen... and in the case of 3dmark01 not reading FSB correctly once u pass 256FSB - the solution, to confirm the result - is to:
- post a screen with 3dmark01 score,
- show score details expanded so we can see what 3dmark01 read as FSB for the purpose of ORB,
- use CPU-Z to show mem clock and timmings,
- and link to ORB.

therefore Tictac could match the score from ORB with the score from the screenie and then he could validate it even though ORB FSB doesn't match...

I dont understand how a score like LV's above, is lower than ricjax's here: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7743301

is 22k a normal score for those settings? i am by no means saying he "cheated" or anything.. just curious. his fsb isnt that high.

I can honestly say i 100% did that legit mate i have never cheated. Not that you are saying that, just want to make that clear.

Its all in the driver set, os and MB's you can save.

When i run 2K1 i use the following rules of thumb before running:

- Defragged HDD prior to reboot
- No none critical services running
- No tray apps period
- No explorer, boot straight into taskmanager shell
- Lan, sata and audio disabled via bios and device manager
- A maximum of 53-55MB's used with 3d mark loaded

I use the following driver/os set:

- ATi Cat 3.7
- nForce 2.45
- DirectX 8.1
- Win 2000 Pro, service pack 4

I pulled 21,737 on my NF7 same clocks but 450/380 so the score holds true.

There are other ways to get high scores if you work at it. High FSB helps but its not the only thing.

Heres another example of a near 22K at only 225 FSB http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7051765 *props to Paddy007uk*

If you take a look at LV's score he beats me i everything bar the car tests which the driver set, os and tweaks help ALOT.

[FlyingHamster]

oh ok, well I guess all those tweaks explain some of the score. dont get me wrong, I was not saying u were cheating or got a bugged score.. I was just curious as to how LV's fsb of 268 got a lower score in 2001 than yours at 233. Regardless, great score m8 and keep up the good work.

cheers

If i have time later this evening i could do a screen of what the task man looks like prior to running 2K1

If i bench without tweaking there can be anything upto 100MB used for just the OS let alone 2K1. Having a empty process list and more free memory helps a lot

[FlyingHamster]

haha yea.. show a screenie of that.

so the 3.7's worked best for u over all the other cats in win2k?

I'll see what i can do

Yeah 3.7's OWN period.

how do you get rid of explorer and make it boot directly to taskmanager?

Lastviking's score is lower cause he's done it with APIC OFF!!!

(At least I think so)

Otherwise he would be faster...

I can do a 3dmark at 265MHz APIC on but I use clockgen to get it after booting at 262... it's the max you can get into windows.

[ricjax99]

Also the reason why i ran 233 x 11 is 240 x 10.5 was giving me kickouts

Running:

2.00V Vcore
1.60V Vagp
1.60V Vchipset
3.30V Vdimm

1:1 - 11-2-2-2-2,0-9-12 enabled, enabled, fast (Alpha settings on AUTO)



If i could keep that clock speed up and crack of a 242-245 x 10.5 i'd prolly be looking at more

WinMe = Don´t uses Apic(correct me if i´m wrong.) = Lower score.
Dx9 = Lower score.
Bad Nf2 drivers = Lower score.

DX8.1 is better?? always used dx9.

WinME has only crippled APIC suppport what means it does not work. (OFF)

i know, i know... i run my benches with winxp down to max 61MB after 3dmark01 loads-up... there's still few services i could kill, though.
killing explorer is a lot easier than u think... but it's kind of hard to take any screenshots then but doable...
