AMD Phenom II X4: Highest AMD score in 3DM06 ever

[informal]

OK..got it.

You just compare with Sampsa thread and SF3D thread CPUZ and one guy post 945 AM3 CPUz.


So this cpu is "early 945 AM3 ES" or "early 940 AM2+ ES"? I believe SF3D didn't know that. I am so mad because I must follow with ing NDA and some guys can post it.

If SF3D said that it was 940 ES(AM2+) than I have no reason to think otherwise.
As for the other dude's thread(user cdawall),his chip is probably not recognized properly.IN any case,Sampsa or SF3D didn't brake anything,they just used the same CPUs they did back in Chicago event,like they mentioned countless times.
But there is no need for me to defend them,since there is nothing to defend and they can speak for themselves(like they do).It's all straight forward...

[SF3D]

This is the last time I say this. This CPU is AM2+.



Now, seriously.. do what Gautum suggested

To other readers- Thanks for the nice comments! Let's keep this thread positive and happy... I'm already happy

[ZoLKoRn]

wow wow wow.... amazing results again from AMD!, nice work SF3D

can't wait to see more results

[SoF]

maybe my question got lost a bit in all this ... - Any problems you had with CFX? Or will you go with that next time? I am preparing a Windows 7 installation also currently and would be happy about any information as I plan to do 3x4870 again. A pic shows 2 cards in the system so I am wondering a bit

[dread77]

Well done mate. Just a better cpu, better vga freqeuncies and AMD will post in TOP 10 of 3D06, thanks to your hard working!!!

M4A79 Deluxe, is a great motherboard, though we need a ROG edition from Asus to take AMD's new products in a higher level.

[Leeghoofd]

Nice score man, so with a golden retail model, things will be even better ? Maybe it's time to sell the s775 :p

[SF3D]

Thanks guys!

Yeah..sorry..

CFX is working just like in Vista. GPU-Z is bugged even more in Win7.

Talk about Win7 being faster than XP are nonsense. Performance is almost identical with Vista or even a bit worse.

[Sampsa]

As far as I know this CPU is early 940 AM2+ ES, earlier revision/stepping than press samples / first retail parts.

I'm waiting UPS to deliver AM3 CPU for testing on Monday together with Asus M4A79-T Deluxe (AM3 + DDR3), and it ain't even X4..

Andre, we are playing with open cards here..

[Morais]

Insane results, cant wait to see those radeons on ln2!

[Lightman]

AMD over 30K in Mark06

Great showing SF3D!
I think with good memory and a notch higher NB 33K will be history

BTW was that run at 6GHz+ on all cores or just some cores

PS. Is anyone going to put GFX cards under LN too?

[afireinside]

Very nice SF3D

What do you think of the new ASUS board? I've been hesitant to order because I haven't seen anyone running it.

[SoF]

Yeah..sorry..

no problem, thanks a lot for the infos. I read some tests meanwhile with Intel and they showed a good advantage for 7 compared to vista. I have the feeling the difference is not that much on AMD.
For GPUz I read that there are somtetimes problems even opening it. so it's good to know you can't trust the GPUz window yet under windows 7. I personally have problems installing my drivers on w7 (some old ones bundled with GPU) but ran Vantage with 2 cards...then I realized (another time) my basic edition wouldn't give me any scores without internet connection and I decided to give up on that another time Then I returned here, watching your opening post, dreaming of finally get kicking with LN2 again and see 6 gig like you've done many times

[fubarswe]

Superresults by SF3D and rest.., lifting AMD like this will bring alot of new benchers to the scen...! :-)
.., bout W7.., nice thing bout benching is that experiences/handling and approach are different.., makes it more exiting! , times like this.., AMD rising.., new plattforms.., a forrest of HW and on top of that a new OS.., golden age for benching :-)
Keep up good work guys.., would be fun to meet in future..,not that far from eachother..!

[STEvil]

What temps do the GPU's get with MCW30's on them? lol

[SF3D]

Thanks for new comments!

STEvil- MCW 30 is working pretty well. I use 1.45V for both cores on that card and depending of room temp, idle is around 35-38c and load 45-50c. Other card is around 70C with default voltage and fan running auto, so it is worth it.

SoF- Try 8.12 drivers. Those installed without problems.

I see you have some problems... ehhh children.

Phenom II X3 720BE and X4 810 is AM3 jep? Sorry, but cpu-z 1.49 in this moment showing me the same things as my X4 940BE. And how you want recognise AM3 if you see the same as AM2+?

Hehe.. I agree

Well.. it's not our problem at the moment. CPU-Z 1.49.1 or something will fix it for sure. It should be out before NDA ends for AM3 parts.

[Oliver]

thx alot for the updated information, much appreciated.

looking forward to see some numbers from you Sampsa with...

[K404]

kinda dumb question seeing as theres plenty other guys nearer to you....you need some better DDR2? If the IMC can handle the load, 3-3-3 timings + some MHz would be so much better...

Nice work on the 4870X2!!

Oh yea...theres a CPU in there too- great goin on the clocking! Hope to see <<11.5 secs from you (Or Macci...or Sampsa....) soon

[SF3D]

Like I wrote in first post, new memory sticks are coming. They just couldn't make it to this session. Memory speed and latencies + higher NB will give nice boost to the score.

This was just the start of the 06 testing. CPU did already 6GHz in Chicago and we have some other samples to test. It will take some time to prepare, but let's see how far we can get.

Superpi + other results were not my priority in that session. Win7 is not fast in some of those tests. So.. If I'm interested in the future, I could try some Spi1M.

[Zeus]

Very nice result and even better to see there's plenty room for improvement. (memory and better chip with more NB clock).

Windows 7 doesn't seem so bad after all for '06, i have the 64 bit version now but it's not good with 3d mark 01 and superpi, not great at all, haven't tried '06 yet.

*staying tuned for more*

Thanks!

Yeah.. Win 7 is just like Vista. I wonder where that rumor about it being faster came from Of course we haven't seen direct comparison, but I just feel this way.

am3 es should say 1.25v at the end



now only if i could get 3dmark06 to work on w7 without a instant bsod...

3870x2 ftl

also *randomness* JCVD was a AWESOME movie...

Those cards might not be supported well (yet). I hope you have some other cards, cause it would be nice to see some results.

I have heard, that there is many users with problems at the moment with Win 7. I had some yesterday.. 3Dmark tests wouldn't start at all. Then I installed cards again and it was working again. Well... it is still beta

[fubarswe]

Only driver working as far as I know is 185.20.., Others work too (181.20, 181.22).., but not for bench... :-) .., red cards work fine too.. both with W7 beta drivers and 8.12

First I read "W7 faster than XP is pure nonsense".., so I belived what you said and erased all W7.., then furter down I read "just how I feel"

Now I must install again to actually see for my self how it is..., and.., isnt that exactly what benching is about.., different individual experiences..?

.., just kidding.., keep up the good work and I look forward to more AMD hammer action..
