I just signed in to say, congrats on the WR kinc! Orb is in ATI's pockets

[jebo_4jc]

Wow congrats on this. The title comes back to AMD/ATI

Hehe texts in 3DMark06 score window are completely messed..

Same here, but without screenshot.

After clicking "save as..." and typing the file name I have the same messed text in this window. Seems to be a bug...

Ah ok, maybe I have different kind of a routine when taking a screenshot.

Sampsa, I think that the difference is that your SM3/SM2 scores are below 10 000..

here is mine at exactly 10 000 SM3 score (notice the same thing)

That is a bug that came with the latest patch of 3DMark 06.

Good stuff Marcus
Keep on pushin' the limits

The motherbard didnt go quietly to sleep. It had to take the cpu with it I have an other QX6700 with the same stepping and a few QX6850 coming in next week. 26k should happen soon, on a blitz formula with QX6850.

Congratz Kinc. you made 2900XT user Proud

[Overgloc]

Congrats Kinc!! I know there's alot left in those Cards!

[Florent]

Congrats Kinc

[Gautam]

Sorry about the board/cpu Kinc, that really blows. Your quad was an awesome one which isn't even worth stating just looking at it on the ORB.

Sorry 'bout the mobo/cpu m8.
But there are some times when you...lose something good, and you...find something better
Hopefully one of those QX6850 will be kicking arse for ya
Good luck

I have my fingers crossed X38 is around the corner aswell wich should be really interesting for 2900 Crossfire.

When ?

[NH|Delph1]

"We" will have X38 as soon as it is available

Looking forward to seeing you guys top the charts again. It just means someone else will make a even bigger score in the long run anyway

It seems Hipro have work a little bit now..

Sorry you can't set up the P5W64 for another session right now.. only some few point higher..

I bought another P5W64 today. I have also orderd new caps for blitz to see if it helps against the cold issues. Will get all on tuesday I hope, along with new cpus.

[Lane-k]

He he Nice to know..

Have you look the score of Hipro?, you are faster in SM2.0, just a litte 25 pnts for him in SM3.0.. But he's score higher in CPU .. I can think only some point more in SM3.0 and it's good... (Is the ATI reduce score on CPU, cause i think the difference strange... I know it was a little problem by past)

Go go go...

Yes I have noticed that NV gets more in the cpu score, proevs that they were succesful in removing some ot the cpu overhead with the new drivers. There is also the fact that ATI cant use LOD setting in 3dmark 06. Really strange that it works for all other 3dmark but not 06.

With ATI tool?.. perhaps something to ask to Wizzard... need agree it's strange. conflict drivers?

As you know R600 is a pretty hot gpu Running ln2 on it puts the pot to test and as I have said before the first revesion mousepots designed even before G80 just couldnt keep up with the heat generated. therefore I contacted MickeyMouse to see if he would do me a favor and make a special design of his rev4 gpu mousepot. He just got em back from the shop and here is how they turned out:





He has tested to mount em on 2900 and the mounting is perfect! No more thin alu plate, can't wait to test em!

It is the driver that aint applyng the custom IQ settings to 3Dmark 06. (setting mipmap quality within catalyst do not change the IQ aswell).

damn nice hardware

Now I can't wait till Tuesday!
Hope you have truck full of LN2 around the corner ...
