E8500 at Mini-Cascade - EVGA 790i & 9800GX2 Stock : 110K on my fav game :-)

Regarding PCIe speed, at least in the 790i the 9800GX2 freeze when overclocked at more than 110Mhz PCIe speed ..dunno why

Maybe that's because the GPU is be clocked too high, I thought the core clock is derived from PCIe bus frequency on the new Geforce 9 cards. I may be mistaken, but maybe you could make a little test:
1. run all test with standard clocks and PCIe at 110,
2. run test with core clock increased by 10% and PCIe at 100

Just my thoughts.

Nice results by the way, I think I need a new gfx too...

yep , i think all 9000 series have that !

if the relation PCI frequency/GPU clock is the same as 9600GT , then 9800GX2 Default using PCI-E @ 110Mhz = 660Mhz Default Clock (600x1.10)


nice scores pedro !
