Xtreme Grand Prix - week5

[saaya]

guess what, its 2k5 time :P
you all probably knew it already and already thougt what drivers to use for 2k5. after last weeks cpu and memory stressing its time to load vpus again after their 1 week vacation and recreation time

again you will have one week to tweak your "fuels" (cooling) and try different sets of "tires" (tweaks) to max out your machines and post a link to the orb. fm approved drivers only as always please

please keep this thread on topic yadda yadda yadda, here is the week5 discussion thread

I've got some ramsinks to put on. It will be interesting to see if they help.

[Magnj]

5416 Just a run to get my foot in the door. Might get six, but 05 KILLS me on the CPU benches.
5625 New PB. THanks for the Tip

[Vapor]

Press escape when they start to load, no need to run them.

It would be nice to see 5k but that would take a killer card to get there 4,912

Oh, and all these runs, as well as all the others, are ran on a bogged down, 9 month old XP install... (Cos I'm lazy, and can't be bothered to clean install & Dual boot 2K & XP)

[D4nnyOcean]

Been super busy this week but here is my first run. I hope to have others but I'm leaving town tomorrow for the weekend.

not the fastest i've had out of this system, but not bad. Maybe 6K with a fresh OS

I notice that Dual monitor will lower my 3Dmark scores.
My recently posted 3Dmark03 scores is not the higest I can get, but knowing that the 3dmark03 race is over, I cant do anything about it.

7564 this is my highest

[Vapor]

Even though I haven't participated the past two weeks....here's my score: 9373. Turns out all my scores are null and void anyway....I said I was gonna use Redline and I used my 4800LAs (because half my Redline busted...both sticks are currently at Mushkin for some testing and RMA action). These are also with non-FM approved drivers....three counts of "my score doesn't count,"

Anyway, I desperately need to do a vmod...the core's load temp is low, the card runs cool to the touch and I gained almost nothing from going to watercooling. Gotta wait till I get to school though...ugh.

i dont want to be a but the first post with over 10k he doesnt have FM approved drivers

[boshuter]

Well I got a good run Sunday..... but I have a problem Futuremark is reporting my drivers as "non-approved" The thing is, I'm using the same drivers I used in week 1, the 5.6 cats... FM even shows my driver version as 6.14.10.6542 (cat 5.6). I don't understand why this happend, my only idea is that this is on windows 2k3 with all uneeded services disabled and maybe one of the services is needed to report the drivers as certified???? Take a look at my comparison and it doesn't even show an operating system??? Anyway.... I'm not sure what to do, I ran the bench using approved drivers in the proper time frame and now it looks like they don't count. With the forum being down, I haven't been able to contact saaya to see what I can do, or if this run will count.
