guess2098, are you using the new GSkill 8800PI 2x2GB ?

Does babes hit 1200MHz easy and stable ?

Guess2098 there's some new info out about flashing 4870's. Might want to flash your card using a new bios (Wizzard probably has it uploaded on his site) and see if it un-bricks.

EDIT

He didn't talk about the 'tweaks' after all...

I assume he has a GPU’s custom firmware has been unlocked to push cards to GPU settings of up to 950 MHz and Memory of up 1200 MHz. I could be wrong I am sure he will be back to tell his little secret to us...

That bios could have something to do with this ? http://www.techpowerup.com/64301/Dia...k_Edition.html

That would be a cheat, wouldn't it?

I just can't imagine, how to gain 1000-2000 points with the help of 'tweaks'. But I'll gladly listen to the explanation.

It seems to be custom bios by Diamond. They are dubbing it "Black Edition" because its unlocked to 950/1200

@guess - It sounds like you never flashed your bios and it died from RAM abuse , but have you tried the 4870 Flash Fix @ TPU?

**Lu(ky** · 06-30-2008, 10:18 AM

I am sure one of you guys on here will make a special FIRMWARE for the 4870's. Please hurry I get my new HIS 4870 and G Skill on Tuesday..

Seeing as he has one run labeled "3Dmark06 Tweaked" and another labeled "3Dmark06 Tweaked + 4870 OC", I would assume that the tweaks are not simply overclocking the card. Maybe some LOD trick?

**quake6** · 06-30-2008, 11:04 PM

Yeah,but even with LOD it seems too much

**intel101** · 07-01-2008, 01:08 PM

any updates on your 3D mark progress, any 3D vantage scores on single card would be appreciated.

**guess2098** · 07-01-2008, 09:15 PM

**JamesBong420** · 07-02-2008, 07:35 AM

19k 06.......

is there any real way to do LOD for ati and 3dm06? atitool works for them all BUT 3dm06..

**~~TheKarmakazi~~** · 07-02-2008, 10:51 AM

Yeah most Ive gotten from tweaking 06 with LOD and windows tweaks was MAYBE 800-1k points. I would love to see your methods

**JamesBong420** · 07-02-2008, 01:51 PM

what i mean is atitool LOD does nothing for 3dmark 06 for ati cards... if you use an nvidia card and use rivatuner and mess with LOD, you actually notice it change the LOD(3dm06).

could help me/everyone gain a few extra hundred points with ati cards..
