Low clock 3D Pedro's Game style...

[nachthymnen]

Really nice thread Vince.
As always
Today maybe I'll receive my Zotac790i and for the first time in my short life of clocker I will run SLI finally.
I will try with my E8500 to see what I'll be able to do.

CL is random as you all know, altought I have a "tweak" to force my luck - pray to OC goods for a good Car Low and pray for the dam thing dont crash

I've been using my own "tweak" to get a good CL fast myself lately:

When you start CL, the car goes to the right and hits a bump in the road, making the car shake and out of course.

When the car hits that bump (after 5-8sec I think), hit ESCAPE and directly press ENTER twice. All you do is quit the game test and quickly go back into the game test. That gives me a relatively good CL to start off with so my end score will be already quite good.

[DeDaL]

@Pedro Rocha thanks very much

I noticed one thing: CL is close to max when I run it first.
DAMN Flank

.., still all on air..



cap 4.6.., hope this is ok...

@massman.., omg.., all this lil tricks with 01..,

[BrokenWall]

OK some AMD Action: Pushing for 50K then I won't feel so bad about my AMD setup if it will get half of what your SLI setups are doing.

So I did just a bit of bios tweaks to get a nice even 3410Mhz with DDR2-974 @ 5-5-4-12-1T, HTT at 1240Mhz

PCI-E bus @ 100Mhz / LOD @ 3.6 / Driver Set To High Performance



Piss me off that I can't find my settings to boot this at a 380*9 not Guess I need to try getting a 780a and see what it will do HTT wise.

Good luck man been awhile since X2.

I'm still with Pentium 4 Northwood ... I've a lot of 'em in fact (both Northwoods and PreSHOTs ) ... But soon with 790i + E8500 / E8400 Vince, what do you think of the 8200 ?

After the exams, I might need to sell some Northwoods / Prescotts ...

[_Stelios_]

I did some ATI running order tests yesterday...
Still testing though..

[George_o/c]

ATi VGAs perform like cr@p in Nature though ...

[Oliver]

Good to see u around Pedro and thx for sharing ...

[Viss]

True although 687 FPS is rather nice for the X2, wel done Stelios. Wonder how you used LOD. For the X2 i can only set it with ATT, Atitool no luck for me Mind sharing how you set it?

[_Stelios_]

Nature in that particular bench was last in the order and the only one with LoD (5) ~30 fps more if it's first in the order.
I change LoD using ATi Tray tolls too. It let me put integer values only though

[_Stelios_]

A little update.. I'm getting really addicted to this

[BNDMOD]

HEHEHEHE.. very nice to all, but.. which is the best and main tweak for this game!

Of course 687 FPS is a really good score for 3870X2 - Nature I was talkin' though about ATi VGAs in general ... They perform poorly in Nature, so the overall score is seriously damaged ...

You should first run CH or LH, they are are the most demanding in terms of cpu and memory power Hence, the final outcome is better when one of 'em is run first ... Others prefer CH, others LH

ATi VGAs Nature score is given a considerable boost when using LoD +3.6

Keep 'em coming man

Relax, having fun, and enjoy Max using bullet time - killing his enemies or the quiet fisherman and the nice pond

on this game everything is important and thats it that makes it so fun to play. mainly? maybe run order and lods. memory tweaking is also very important, but there are many other things

jajajaja.... any one has a plan :p to take the point :p jajaja.... fishing all fish :p until fisherman cautch all :p samething like that :P?

I get what you meant, just wanted to let Stelios know good score

ATi VGAs Nature score is given a considerable boost when using LoD +3.6

Depends on the model, with 3870 for example better scores with +4.0~4.2 here

I am going to try some runs when I get home with my AMD
320x11 = 3520Mhz --- Ram @ 5-5-4-15-1T 1003Mhz

If I can pull it off I should be able to break 51K with the GPU @ 800/2000/2400
I just can't find the best LOD for the 9800GTX and my run order is a bit off (N-CH-LL-DH-CL-LH-DL)

=====
Seems like my CPU doesn't mind pushing the DDR2 @ 1T timings now if this is worth the boost then I keep it, if not I will back down to 2T and tighten the timings just a bit to around 5-4-4-12-2T, Using the G.Skill 8500-2GBPK kit. Also though its hard to keep stable at 3.6Ghz my CPU and board are allowing me to stay stable up to 1500Mhz on the HT with a AM2 cpu.

[Gautam]

Alright Vince it's on. Finally got the rig stabilized at what I wanted (sort of), now it's time to squeeze points and attempt to fully make up my FSB deficit...can't run quite at your level without LN2. Vids are acting up big time, I think I botched my heatsink mount big time, so I just dropped it to 810 and increased mem to compensate, hope you think that's fair. I brought the mem up to 1280 on nature actually to equalize it with respect to you, backing the GPU down was hitting me hard.

And btw, did anyone tell you you couldn't run sync?

[dinos22]

wow guys

very nice indeed
i don't have any air clocks on CPU but phase CPU at 5ghz and water on 8800GTs heh which was good for 105K '01 heh......similar core clocks and around 955 on RAM ...my GT RAM sucks heheheh...

i wonder if i clock it down and bump the FSB if i'll get similar scores as you guys....i guess it will be a touch weaker as it's they are GTs

looks as though the nature is almost on par there actually .... 400MHz CPU clocks won't make any difference

[BenchZowner]

I'll join in soon guys ( need to get some things done first ).
And if Asus would fix the 6-5-5 clocking on the S2E I'd say 450MHz FSB ( 1800 ) and RAM Linked & Synched at DDR3-1800 6-5-5-16 1T along with two GTXs at 864MHz would be good enough for 100k. ( P1 & P2 enabled of course )

[Gautam]

Hmm I'm looking at my run, since you guys are all so keen on talking and not so keen on benching, let's play a game.

Guess my order.

[Vapor]

*raises hand*

[BenchZowner]

Guess my order.

LH-CH-DL-N-LL-DH-CL
