ASUS 2900XT Benchin begins

[Lane-k]

First Nice score.. great job !!


I was not know we can't disable the 2D/3D.. so i think you talk about the hotkey poller and smart services?.. Like we have do with X1900-X1950XTX?.

[Kinc]

We have tested with higher gpu clock now and it scales a lot in canyon flight! 30MHz more core with less mem clock gives 3.5 fps, wich is ~175 points in just that game test. It also adds about 1.5fps in game test 2 wich is ~90 points. With working oc software the cards would do 1150MHz core easy in CF, jsut as with a singel card configuration. 1.48V and 1080MHz runs so easy around -55C pot temp. Damn why cant overclocking ATI be as easy as NVIDIA

I think we all will have some exciting time with X38, 2900XT CF and a good QX6850.

Is it me, or are the HD2900XT 1GB not doing so hot in 3d06?

Grrrrreat score!

As elmor is involved, may I ask about the RAM settings.

[blind_ripper]

nice nice kinc

strange thing is that my core will go above 0°C load with cascade on it :s , have to use dubbel coldplate becaus off coldbug
so far so good, 1.35vgpu on the core

Thanks Anders

We ran some Mushkin 6400 at 3:4 446MHz 3-3-3-5.

Nice work again.. I was looking on the orb.. you are really close of take the 1st place...

05 seems very slow....Usually see this kind of score at ~4ghz no? Have you tried XP (well, Getting rid of that window blinds type crap)

[Lane-k]

M3kk, There's too a prob with the 2K6: 3D 06 show 4899mhz, CPU-Z 4400..

at 850/1050, 2900XT 512Mo + E6700 4.18ghz, i m at 13'335pnts on 3D06..
the score CPu is around 3650pnts.

You should have really more of that..

Saamokin score Kinc and elmor. The nV guys should be gettin nervous.

[Radamanthys]

Omg Kinc you are so near to Shamino wr! Only 200 points !

[krullet]

looks good guys, u and elmor are a sweet team

[elmor]

06 screwed up, not enough nitrogen left. Those extra points for #1 would be within reach with higher gpu clock (1100 at only -50*C, but mem craps out in 06) and even easier with higher cpu.

We ran a quick 03 for fun: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5452493

Easier overclocking of 2900XT and HOF will look pretty sweet for AMD

3Dmark report default multi x fsb bios (just like orthos for example). I do think 06 should be a bit higher though M3kk. For reference HD2900XT 512:

[vanovich]

anyone wonna share which utilieties are used ,to do a costum biose? this not oc in cf is a pain.

It seems like 03 is more or less completely GPU memory bound. I was hoping to do around 85k myself with just 1k core...but those hopes were shattered as soon as I got to it, probably because my memory was just at 980 similar to you guys...if only we could get the memory up these cards could become a serious threat in 03 as well.

A few pics of the rigg.

Congrats Elmor and Marly! Those pictures just give the final polish to the scores, Dimas Bench table never looked better

I like the funny title on ORB: " sick of random crash in '06 ""

Nice pics too there Kinc

It was with XP, thats a simple XP theme ( official ).
I dont know.. maybe, but i think the score is decent ..
I had no so much time to test this vga, so i ran once or twice every 3dmarks, and thats all..

You should have really more of that..

As loc.o said, the 3dmark06 report with default multi ..
I attached the CPUZ there for the real cpu frequency ..
I know, that 2k6 score is low, but i ran the test twice and i got ~ same results :/..
Maybe it was from the OS, or from the drivers?

Or maybe I`m a cheater! LOL .

Sorry Kinc for OT .

I will not say that.. the prob was not here.. i got 13335 with air 2900XT 512, E6700@4.2ghz.. i think there's something wrong here with the result you have. I m sure you can get better of that.. I know the driver with 1Go version is really not mature, It's same with 512Mo version, but i think the result will be with next driver increased. but it's a decent score..

Gratis! Awesome job! Keep it on!
