2008 XS Cheapazchips 3D challenge

[STEvil]

STEvil's scores updated.

If I do a search I can't see any new score! I assume STEvil you can see your new scores by going to the search page and then just putting in 8400GS? I cannot see your scores in the list!

Regards

Andy

No, I cant see my scores. I cant see anyone else's either when searching.

[Gautam]

It's the same as this EVGA I have here, only difference is the EVGA has 275MHz rated Infineon

So, is this how you're gonna put me in my place?

[G H Z]

Do you even have a card?

Somehow I think Rol-Co has this wrapped up already with those clocks

[\/ENDE][A]

Top one, RT9232 is pin 5 FB and pin 7 ground. Cannot read the writing on the bottome one, what does it say?

Regards

Andy

This is bottom one.

[Deanzo]

Update,

3D01: 26372 http://service.futuremark.com/result...reResultType=6

Still can't upload my 03 scores

[SpikeP]

can anyone with the leadtek tdh extreme card measure the resistance on c710 and r605. they are just right of the the gpu vmod. lets just say i used a to biger soldering iron and now the card won't boot. Planning to get a miniture soldering iron soon. Maybe i will do better then. Anyway be great if someone can get the readings, or tell what to put in there place.

I haven't got a ORB score yet due to i can't seem to delete my previous 03 scores, thus can't upload them. However i do have a screenshot of 10,017 3dmark on 03, along with a gpu-z screenshot and cpu-z. Post it later on. I need to go to work!

not yet m8 , 25k is easy but with a fx55 171fps nature atm

Just put my card in to play and having strange problems
Using latest drivers and latest Rivatuner, when i opened riva for first time after installing it said it didn`t recognise the card and may not work properly,try a newer version of rivatuner, i`m already using latest release
When i try to raise clocks and apply, it keeps reseting to default speeds. Tried fresh driver and riva install...no joy. Anyone have any ideas?

[G.Foyle]

First 3Dm01 run:
20448 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9332485
Core at 720/1404 with 1.32V, cooled with Thermalright HR-05 51°C idle, 56°C load
memory at 420 with 2.08V

I did the vmods but wanted to run on stock volts.

[ownage]

Haha, a Hr-05 for cooling a videocard?

[STEvil]

Andy, I figured out why you cant see my scores I think.. 3dmark isnt reading my driver version it seems.

[zakelwe]

That is strange STEvil. I'm getting a bit dispondent about all these ORB glitches. I can't add Deanzo's and xoqolatl's score as the ORB is not up at the moment.

720 on core with 1.3+v is very good.


SpikeP, 13.6 and 18.7Kohms for 605 and 710. Yeah, you need a needle point not a spade type on your iron.

Sorry for crappy pic, parents went on holiday and took my camera:

I was looking over NiBiTor and I'm slightly confused by it. I go into the detailed timings, change a few things, save the BIOS and re-open it to the same values as before. Is there a guide out there or does someone want to drop me a fat hint?

[G.Foyle]

saving bios saves a file with bios dump. You have to flash the card with that file, usually done in DOS.

[[XC] gomeler]

Well the strange bit is that when I re-open the BIOS I saved with NiBiTor it doesn't look like anything was done. That is the confusing part, do the convenient drop-down menus for the ram timings not work?

[Rol-Co]

Same thing overhere with the xfx , memory timings won't stick....look like its working but isn't

[[XC] gomeler]

I believe I got it working. What I did was using Timingset 0, I set all the timings, then I copied and pasted the hex values in all the input fields for each timing set so they were all identical. Somewhere along the line I did something right as NiBiTor now shows the timings changed from 24 30 18 6 6 6 3 to 30 35 22 8 8 8 5. All I simply did was loosen timings, now it's time to explore the various timings and tolerances.

[Rol-Co]

nice , let me know if you gain any mhz on the memory...that would be nice.

[[XC] gomeler]

An hour later and no improvement. I'm pretty certain I'm loosening the ram timings or atleast according to NiBiTor I am. I however am still hardlocked at 864MHz. Anything higher and the GPU doesn't render half of the screens. Loosening the timings did nothing, pumping 2.2-2.3v into the chips did nothing. I must have the worst clocking GDDR2 on the planet. Once my capacitors arrive I'll swap them out and see if that makes a difference but I doubt it. 900+MHz GPU crippled by subpar DDR2, it's great

[ownage]

I was lucky today. I had to use an alternative power supplier, so i hooked the card on the 3.3v of my second PSU. 3.3v drooped to 1.7v :S
So i decided to hook it up the 5v line, and it dropped to 3.0v which i was aiming for. One trace on the pcb got on fire, and burned the black paint of the card. So the trace is naked now, and the card still works :P

[STEvil]

These Asus cards are sweet other than the crappy memory lol... 2.2 for 478mhz. Next step up is 486 and it crashes... more volts!

3d01 22,560 810/1890/877 1.5v/2.2v vf700-cu (shader had more in it, could have run at or near 2000 lol).

I wonder if nVstrap could be messing with the driver detection? I had bilinear forced on in rivatuner on those other runs (not this one) and I thought that might be doing it so I disabled it (sett to auto depending on app) but seems to not have had an effect...

Also how do I delete old results?

[zakelwe]

Ability to delete seems to be another thing that is broken currently unfortunately. Nice work with the gpu, shame about yours and gomelers memory holding back the 800+ cores.

[oohms]

Those leadtek extreme edition cards are pretty awesome.. i got one today that does 555 ram (quimonda 2ns ram)
