Amd Nvidia/Ati -3dmark06 scorebord revisted

[chew*]

time to get on this board...I'm rather happy with these results 2x 4850

You beat me with 4850 and Tri-Core Phenom!
Nice one

I would need that new secret chip of yours to beat that score on AIR
Can you borrow it chew*?

[Raiderman]

What the heck! I cant break 21k! 3dmark 06 really loves a high cpu clock, Im convinced.
2x hd4870's @825/1110 cpu@ 3712ghz


Edit: Is there any tweaks any of you would like to share, am I doing something wrong?

Well what has work for me (i'am not nearly as good at overclocking as most the people on this board are) would be to add one more video card . It can help out to a point if you can not clock your cpu as high as the other guys. I do think the 3 4870 set-up is better than 2 4870x2 are and 4870x2 + 4780 . You also need the NB in the 2600 + range .I made my 22,137 point run with my 3850s @2700+ NB clock and the red ring on in AOD . Dam one more thing i also had to change over to 32-bit vista as well (help with my cpu overclocks).

raiderman, PM charged, ask him to forward the PM I sent him.

The thing is, I am seeing 2 x 4850's getting better scores with the same clocks?? Thats why I am getting frustrated.

Hi Raiderman..

What drivers are you using...!!

I'm using Cat 9.1 in Win7 64-bit..!!

I had a heck of a time getting them to install though..!!

Only way I could do it was from a clean install of Win7.. I'm not looking forward to the next Cat release, I don't fancy having to do a clean install just for a gfx driver update once a month..!!!

Other than that the only thing I can suggest is look at increasing NB and HT as high as you can, in addition to the CPU clocks....!!

I had to squeeze every last mhz out of mine to get 20717... I know I'll never break 21K without adding another card for tri-CF..!!

I don't think that my 940BE can get any higher, I may try max volts later on and see if I can get any more from it, but so far, I've gone up to 1.528v or thereabouts and it wouldn't do 3.9Ghz.... so I'm thinking it will take a big voltage jump to get it any higher...!!

Charged.. still waiting on those settings.. I'd love to see if I can get to 3.9Ghz somehow...!!

[Raiderman]

My latest run.. Windows 7 64bit, cat. 9.1

3DMark06: 21019

NOTE: I didn't take a screenshot... but you can see the results at: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9999437

EDIT: (Now I have to work on cooling so I can get the cards and CPU overclocked a bit more. Or maybe I just need to splurge for that Danger Den case and 4x120 cooling system I've been drooling over.)

The only reason I post screen shot is because people ask about voltages and NB and HTT speeds, it just to save time of typing them out later

The funny part is my 940 BE bench rig is sitting on 10 year ATX pullout mobo mount
A lot of that extra cooling turns out to do nothing unless you push/pull cooling properly across the box
I found one 120 exhaust/one 80 in worked better then three 80 exhaust/three 80 intake and a lot quieter too.
If you can't push/pull properly across the box your just wasting money
I prefer a higher exhaust(pull), it creates a "vacuum effect", it has to take in more cooler air
If you do higher intake (push) you end up recirculating the hot air in the case unless you can exhaust the air at the same rate

I found out you have take each case at it own merits how to do push/pull system

screen shoots are good but typing out specs help me to update quicker

@msimax
We appreciate the work you do

There a second agend, other people wishing too pushing their system as hard as they can, getting tidbits of information this thread

Not many have courage to keep up a thread like this.
No disrespect intended

Will do!

not real happy with these 4870x2's. 3 4870 trifire scored almost the same.

You'll get better number in Vantage tho...even a third card does not add a lot in 06

[merkk1]

Vantage dose let the 4000 series cards show what they can realy do but i still just don't like the 4870x2 in tandom . I think the 3 4870 just make a better running set-up that easyer for the Phenom II to drive better so you get the most out the cards just my 2 cents .

That clock+that voltage+3dmark06 is that for real?

his cpu is at 3ghz and hes getting over 21,700.......at least thats what the cpu speed is showing thats the only reason his score is that low, if he raises his cpu to 3.8 or 4ghz hed prolly have around 24,000. his score is excellent for his cpu speed.

Can you borrow it chew*?

Light because the chip is ES and because it is not currently available on the market I will refrain from using it for forum based contests, I will also wait till it is in retail to post any records I may acchieve with it.

No unfortunately I can't lend it out.

the volts are wrong its about 1.7 and this was just a dirty run as i was trying to beat dumo score but was running out dice. im still learning phenom now add ddr3 so you see i have a lot of work to do

glad i wait till the dust settled with phenom this is the best time to buy a amd system
