WOOOO CHEW is doing damage with a 4ghz AMD

and Team.PURE lost the italian sensation?

[jcool]

most effective tweak and easiest for wprime i think is to boot into diagnostic mode

Nice, will try if that gives me any boost soon. Edit: You mean safe mode, right?

Hey jcool,
it's nice to have you aboard!
Yeah, some 3D would be very cool, you could get some serious points with your setup! Since you have an SSD you could test PCMark 05 and Vantage too. They use more cores, but I'm not sure if they use more than 4 cores. Besides WPrime, there is nothing that would profit from 8 cores unfortunately...

Hey mate,

nice to see I'm not the only German tired of German forums
Will give PC Mark a shot these days, if it doesn't use 8 threads I can disable HT on the 975. Not sure how high I can bench with water tho, my water setup is total crap (loop was designed for the GPU only...), and with the 30+C ambients we're seeing at the moment it's gonna be hard.

You guys got any links to tweaking guides/lists for PCmark, 3Dmark etc?

I really don't care that much about benching but figured I'd help out the team gain a few ranks when I can. Plus it's been fun so far

[Hondacity]

good to hear you going into benching

maybe we can reach 7000 pts

Don_Dan show us some pics of the ranking pls ....stupid hospital blocks photobucket :\

+15 points for 1st AM3 7900GSs - only on water now at 4.6-4.8 with my W3540

run/msconfig
select "diagnostic startup"
reboot

to come back to normal
run/msconfig
select "normal startup"
reboot

yeah ati LOD too thanks for the help Don_Dan (danke)

No problem mate, here you go! Link

You are right, leghorn and giogioprimo went back to their old team, and team PURE is looking for new members, so watch out!

Hey mate!
You can't imagine how right you are...
It would be cool if you could do some damage for the team, we need to get over the 7000 points again at least. We don't have a tweaking thread yet, but you can PM if you have any questions, but for PCMark 05 there isn't much to do besides running it with a SSD and in Vista.
I'm glad you like benching!

Your wish is my command!

+15 points for 1st AM3 7900GSs - only on water now at 4.6-4.8 with my W3540

Nice going!

Did you make some 05 and 06 runs too?

[TheGoat Eater]

yeah but nothing worth posting - waiting for dice/ln2 for that~

[mk-ultra]

is it me or it smells 3d benching?

[Hondacity]

wooooo nice...you'll be in the top 20 for sure with that dual card

[mk-ultra]

can't wait to try it, it has volterra too

maybe i should have waited for amd/ati new line of GPU but i have doubts about their supremacy on hwbot, i brought it used tho it wasn't a bad price, especially if you compare to what those cards are selling here in Canada, they are still 550$+(cnd)
some people says the 5870 will beat a 4870x2 or a gtx295 but i'll have to see it to believe it.

but there's something that bothers me, i lost my defective w3520 in my room. i was sanding it Saturday night and i haven't seen it since. i've looked everywhere and can't find it, that sux

[Hondacity]

thats sucks man...

i'm looking at some ati cards..i kinda got bored with the 285s

ebay sucks...some dicks are trying to outbid me..and then when its sold..it comes out again..es

[mk-ultra]

4x4890?

[chew*]

Lost some points guys, working on getting some back

[TheGoat Eater]

lol - bumped from 1st AM3 7900GS but now I have a better setup and even without it my backup was 15 points over the bested submission... back on top there LOL

Good!

Will you put your GPUs under LN2 too or only your CPU?

Here's the almost-daily update:



Ryan and \/ENDE][a are pushing their 7900 GS setups, plus the latter is also running his 6800 XT setup and manages to get all category records!
mk-ultra has also pushed his 8800 GT 256MB to gold in 3DM Vantage and chew* is chasing some guys with his Phenom II 965!

Good job to all!



Another issue: I see some guys posting in the threads that are scanned by the bots, but it seems they did not register on hwbot. Some days ago there were some scores on the bot where you could not access a profile page. What happens to those scores?

[jcool]

Gonna play some PCmark now. No idea what I can do with those crazy ambients and on crap water, we'll see.

[jcool]

Ok, ran it. My heart wasn't really in it, with the CPU idling at +50C there wasn't much I could do anyways. I did get over 20k.. does that suck?

ORB-Link is here: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm05=2063785

[mk-ultra]

OMG i found my CPU at last, it was on my laptop touchpad and i closed the lid on it
feels great

i'm benching with my 8800gt 256mb, doing all the 3dmark, maybe 15points if i'm lucky :P

jcool
i'm 101 overall with 200ish more points on pcmark05, should be good for some points
not so much you can do without having a raid setup for faster hdd transfer

[jcool]

Oh well.. 12 points
I do have a few SSDs lying round from time to time.. could easily bench 4 of them in raid 0. Is XP better for PCmark, by the way?
A shame I only ran 4,5Ghz.. could easily do 4,9 on phase without HT.

Next goal - 100 points! Keep it coming folks

there's a 220mb/sec limit on XP start up test, above that your score is not valid

[jcool]

Lol.. good to know, thanks.

Best OS for Pcmark 2005 is Vista with aeroglass enabled

[Don_Dan]

20k looks good for a start!

Yeah, bench PCMark05 again with some SSDs, that will increase your score very much, and don't run XP, it's too slow for the Transparent Window test.
Run Vista or Win7 which might give even better scores.

Today's scores:



jcool is benching PCMark 05 on his i7 975, mk-ultra is pushing his 8800 GT 256MB in all 3DMarks and \/ENDE][A is running SLI setups - 2x 9400 GT and 2x 9500 GT.

Hey NBF, it's good to see another member of the HWbot team in this thread!

These were all backups from last winter. No money for new Hardware making it hard to compete( had to take a pay cut to keep my job). Try and push my old gear a bit further now weather is cooling off a bit. I have a lot of cards that are begging to be volt modded.

I though they were old backups, nice work What kind of volts are you giving the 7900GS's?
