KINC TAKES 05 WR w/X1900 CF & RD580!!!

[macci]

My opinion,
i don't think this is impressive at al
actually i can say these crosfire results are bad when you compare it with the efficiency of sli..

GTX512-->9.6K
XTX--->11.5K

2*GTX512-->19.2K
2*XTX---->19.5K

oh yeah hats off for ati and crossfire they sure rule

3DMark05 at default resolution (1024x768) is not the benchmark you want to use for comparing SLI/CF efficiency. Its 99% CPU bound w/ 3.5GHz FX60 and 750/850 clocked X1900CF. You can see that GT1 and 2 are basically the same with both SLI and CF and only the most GPU dependent GT3 shows a small difference (at lower CPU clock even that would be equal). Overclocking the cards at that point gives zero improvement. You'd need higher CPU speed to see the benefit of increased video speed.

If you want to compare them with 3DMark05 I suggest running it at (at least) 1600x1200 4AA 8AF. Even then GT1 and 2 are highly CPU bound.

awesome score
Asus RD580 = A8R32 ?

yep

A8R32-MVP

[althes]

that board must be nice

[gocchin]

Hope to get an RD580 board soon so I can join in the fun... got my cards, cooling and even a spare card to boot.

[Dumo]

Nice arsenal Gochin ...With 60 or 57?

[vapb400]

omg gochin that is some sick cooling/gfx power.

Who made the vga containers? They aren't solid are they?

you stuffed it with an orange

[gocchin]

Going to try to control temps with an FX-60... the gpu units were sent to me by MickeyMouse and of course that's one of his mousepots too with a 3" orange in it

[vapb400]

are they the new solid vga mousepots? or some brazed pots he made a while back?

god luck temp controlling fx60

I'll let you know when they are in stock...already reserved 3 A8R32-MVP (waiting confirmation)

Send me one... I have the money ready! You still got my address?

@vapb400 - yeah those are the brazed ones

[perkam]

The A8R32-MVP will require modding for optimal performance....all the top ocers are eager for the release of the DFI RD580, which should be the real deal.

I'll know if they are coming in stock. They aren't in stock

Thank you for saying it macci. Some people are just blinded by whatever it is that blinds them

Closing in...



Cards at 760/890MHz, sysmem at 250MHz. Again I had a run that froze for me at 3550+ hitting 19637 I have a new set of memory that Im going to try if they can go higher on this limited voltage (3.35V with mod) and stay sub 3550 where I know I can save the score. I may have time for one more try today or tomorrow, then I'm of to the states until thursday.

Has your Crossfire card 1.1ns ram?

Has your Crossfire card 1.1ns ram?

No, the memory is really bad on my master card

Is that still on water Marcus?

So close!

I'm here running below 3,5 GHz with my FX-60 and I'm @ 19333.

Be careful in customs when entering US. Heading to Santa Clara?

Yeah everyone is telling me to be carefull when entering US, any tips on how to act? Yeah, you too? Would be fun to meet you!

[macci]

Just remain Cool 'n Quiet and don't piss em off =)

And great score there so far!
What multi / RAM settings on that one?

That's what I needed to hear, thanks man

It's on multiplier 17 with a 250 devider. Did you and Sampsa use the ASUS board?

oh yeah hats off for ati and crossfire they sure rule

how did you come up with this equation? Im getting almost 14k on air with a single xtx, and 16k has also been done with a single xtx. but I sure agree with you on the lack of efficiency. 16k-19.5k is a very poor performance gain although I don't totally blame it on the GPU's. CPU is obviously at fault, although SLI is much more performance efficient then CF.

[macci]

multi and RAM divider are identical to yours (and same goes to the score too obviously!) =)

getting to 3550 w/ x16 and 250 mode seems to be target for now.

In any case, don't say you're an editor (unless you have a visa). Just say you're there for a business. Unfortunately I'm not going this time, I visited there last fall. Cool place.
