3DMark Vantage attack with watercooled Skulltrail

[Sampsa]

Hi,





I just finished teasing Skulltrail setup with watercooling and managed to run 3DMark Vantage Entry and Performance presets @ 4,311 GHz (10,5 x 410 MHz, 1,5375 V). GeForce 9800 GX2 Quad SLI was overclocked to moderate 750/1890/1155 MHz. This was enough to overtake Fugger's Skulltrail setup in both presets



Entry: E52267 (2nd place)

and



Performance: P20655 (10th place)

Next week Radeon HD 4800 and GeForce GTX 200 action

Nicely done Vantage scales past 4 cores in all performance settings? Time to find a ST setup

nice work! :-)

Good work Sampsa...

Looking forward to see ur,
Keep pushing it.

[Sampsa]

Skulltrail is best for Entry preset and works ok in Performance because in those tests CPU weight is 0,25 (0,15 in high and 0,05 in extreme):



Skulltrail @ 5 GHz with DI should be well over E55k and close to E60k when +5,5 GHz with LN2.

That's awesome Sampsa

So HD 4800 and GT 200 huh ? OMG, this summer is going to be soooo fun

[SIOUX]

Looks good Sampsa Cant wait for more results.....

[Charles Wirth]

Bumbed me back to third, I guess I will have to fix that.

Grats on the pass.

[crotale]

Nice going Sampsa!

What about the Extreme preset?

[metro.cl]

Awsome warming up for next gen cards

Looking good Sampsa

Next week Radeon HD 4800 and GeForce GTX 200 action

This should be interesting, will you be playing with CF/SLI or single card?

[nachthymnen]

Sampsa is back

[Sampsa]

Nice going Sampsa!

What about the Extreme preset?

Didn't gain much compared to QX9770 @ 5,2 GHz so I didn't bother spending time on them + after next week GeForce 9800 GX2 is out of business atleast in these presets

[Sampsa]

This should be interesting, will you be playing with CF/SLI or single card?

Next week hopefully 2 or 3-Way SLI and I guess I have to wait couple more weeks to get my hands on R700 CrossFireX

(edit: 3-way sli with nf790i ultra sli board of course not with skulltrail)

[SF3D]

Next thursday will be good day for sure! Can't wait!

Nice E / P scores

[jamieuk23]

very nice !!

Nice results sampsa

[spiro]

Nice setup. How did you manage to get 410 fsb? ... I tried everywhere to find a way to increase the fsb in the bios (including installing the latest bios with 1/2 multiplier) but I can't seem to be able to find options to activate the fsb changing options. There seems to be only options to manually change the SPD timings.

The best result I've ever seen in my life. Your system's high end for more 10 years I think. I cant wait to have a system like yours. Good job man!

[Hor$eman]

Very nice scores!

Your system's high end for more 10 years I think.

What was high end ten years ago... is barely usable, if usable, today. It will be for the high end systems of today.

Wow 52k congrats Sampsa

Pcmark05 would love nasty indeed too with that setup ?

[Sampsa]

Surprise top spot in 3DMark Vantage Entry preset with E53468 points

Me and SF3D played around with Skulltrail @ 4,6 GHz:

(Unfortunately I don't have the system anymore so no better scores coming)

Vantage scales up to 32 threads.
