Yep they do.

They also allow me to recieve an uber picked chip from AMD that no retail can ever ever match and use it against all members......just becasue they allow stuff doesn't mean you have to agree with it

It's ultimately up to the user to decide what to do, me personally the words uber picked that no one can compete against and competition don't belong in same sentence....there is no competition at that point.

right i just thought you thought it was cheating...it is, but obiviously allowed cheating.

Question? when i look at my benchmark details and settings in the ORB i can see what all processes are running, is there a way i can see the pros processes that are running to see if there running other bullpoop like renaming the exe and other not-so-allowed-tweaks? if not i think that is crap

[billdavis]

Okay, 3D you should see gains in 01 and AM3, did you test the latter already?

yeah AM3 was low 30k it seems to love nvidia same with 01 unless im bugged with the way i installed

Technically I do not think so.

Just some Fyi futuremark is far from foolproof as well......I can submit results with DX sploofed and the results show up as valid even though I ran a bench with no DX at all.....Don't ask how its done becasue that is surely a cheat.....I needed one result to be able to compare it to other results that might be questionable. I know what to look for now

The pros are all running AM3 on Win 7 when running CF, most likely the drivers are better then. Did you make some single card runs? For those XP should still be better.

Edit: Do you still have your 8800 GTXs?

ok,

no got rid of my nvidias. would of got some cool points for them v-moded but w/o ln2 there margional

[Don_Dan]

I just looked through your profile, definitely make some single card runs when you are on XP anyway, they should give you some points.


I need to confess to you my fellow XS-bros, my RAM addiction broke through once again cause my one and only DDR3 kit was feeling lonely, now I have two more kits...
Brian, remember when I told you I could get D9JNL easily, those were Cellshock DDR3-1600 CL7-7-7-21. Looking back, they were boring, now I have one Cellshock DDR3-1800 CL8-7-6-20 kit ( D9GTR ) and one DDR3-1866 CL8-8-8-24 kit ( D9JNL ). The GTR kit might come in handy some day for AMD-benching, the other kit is the one with the blue heatspreader, I just bought it because I think they are beautiful... Is this a sign of addiction?

Hmm you can get cellshock preety easy huh?

We may need to talk. I may have to have you get me a pair. Let me know which set does best universally on i7 x58,p55 and amd please.

yes i have a ram addiction to :/

[Hondacity]

hypers are still best imo for x58

[chew*]

hypers are still best imo for x58

Ehh I got 3 sets of em, I think I'm all set on those ic's

[Hondacity]

awesome!!! 1.7xv and you're all set 7-7-7 goodness

Yes, Cellshock was a German firm, so most parts were sold in Germany, it's a shame they went bankrupt, but I guess there are not many people willing to spent a lot of money on memory. There is a seller on ebay who is located where MSC's headquarter is/was, he is selling off old stock it seems. Now he has a lot of those JNL-sticks up for sale again.
I can't test on i7, sorry, in my opinion Hondacity is right, Hypers are the way to go there. For AMD a good GTR set might be worth testing against Hypers.
From what I have seen so far, Vince, you and me are the only ones who tested Hypers on AMD anyway. I will test my GTR kit when I'm at home again in two weeks.

If you want I can keep my eyes open for another GTR kit.

I am actually interested in the jnl kit. I have a good set of GTR already. I have a feeling the high volt ram kits may go the way of the dodo on AMD in the near future

[Don_Dan]

Oh, that's surprising! The 1866CL8 is hard to get, the next bin 1600CL7 I can get as many kits as you want ( new and in original packaging ). Then I will test my JNL kit, any special tests you want me to run? CL8? CL7?

I wonder why you have that feeling...

Whatever you can do, I'd be more interested in the 1866 kit.

If you have time shoot me a PM on what the 1866 cost you as well in USD.

[jcool]

Just benching an i5 750 (air) on a GB µATX with 2x 4870X2, trying to get 30k in 06 - I am at 29730 grrr!!!

Here's a pic of the setup lol

[chew*]

Jcool, I assume you are on vista.....Pull the cards, install another card.....let windows play the your hardware has changed please reactivate game...... click activate later,reinstall your x2's and rebench unactivated

[jcool]

Vista isn't activated...
Settled for that now, am running 03. But it won't recognize the CPU.. which means I can't submit the Score. Help

[Don_Dan]

Just take a screenshot with CPU-Z and GPU-Z or are you aiming for Global Top 20?

[jcool]

Yeah, I guess I could do that.. what a hassle though :/
Top20 global, not with a 750.. with the w3520 on cold, probably.

There's gotta be a way?!

[Don_Dan]

That's what I do all the time.

I'm afraid you have to wait for Futuremark to release a system info hotfix. Maybe there is a way though, but I've never really bothered with the ORB.

[jcool]

Well some once reported one of my Wprime entries because it wasn't verified or whatever (and in the Top20) so I usually make sure I got it verified, even if it may not be in the top20.

[Don_Dan]

Yeah, for Top 20 it's a must, but why bother if it's not needed.

Are you still running 03 and did you read my PM? What did you score?

[jcool]

Well I managed to kill the OS so I am reinstalling now.. in Raid mode anyway, want to do some PCMark runs on this setup. I scored 133k 03 with the CPU at 4,4Ghz.. not too bad I guess, not great either.

[Don_Dan]

Have fun reinstalling! I'll go to bed now! Goodnight!

Edit: One question: Which memory speed did you achieve? What kit do you use? Looks like Ripjaws...

[jcool]

Yeah, they are Ripjaw 2000's (Elpida BBSE). Mem is running synced to BCLK, at ~2100Mhz.. unfortunately the CPU has a BCLK wall at ~214, rams could prolly do more.
