Phenom II X4 + GTX 295 Quad SLI = AMD 3DMark Vantage WR

[Sampsa]

I'll try to test with LN2 on upcoming weekend if there are any left after me & SF3D will run our MOA 2009 Europe qualifying runs

Can't wait to hear more from MOA 2009 and how QSLI fares on AMD!
Good luck!

And we want broke in cpu-Z 7GHz ...

That will happen soon, but unfortunately not by me. Stay tuned.

Very nice work...and as you can see there remains much to be done. Vince was able to do amazing work, but there are new challenges...

[chew*]

Was just playing around sampsa, wasn't trying to beat you , more or less wanted to know what the handicap is for ATI in vantage So i was using your scores as a reference.....Looks to be about 500mhz....if you can push the cards hard in multi card configs.

On a side note I have no problem Ocing in vista 32

Been a very long night and the poor seasonic 500w is crying for mercy now.......I'm off to bed...

Looks like I got my work cut out for me......

hey man not bad, but yeah.. Quad SLI definitely has an advantage compared vs 4 x 4890 @ 1050/1125 MHz (checked the file name 4x4890%20vantage.jpg)

I'll try with higher CPU speed as soon as I have time.

Shhh supposed to be a secret I have a second shot with the tab. 1050/1185, running out of webspace compreesing everything lately.

Hi Sampsa, k10stat working on nvidia chipset?

[chew*]

Well at least they are scaling 3 to 4 card decent in vantage....I get the feeling they need to work out some kinks with the drivers though based on some of the higher frame rates I was seeing in test 1 at specific locations in tri versus quad.

It's a tad hot today, had to back off the cpu a little.

[theoldtimer]

If it’s ok I thought I would post up my Vantage results for comparison? I’m running the same MB with Evga GTX 260’s in tri-sli. I’m at best just an average overclocker so I’m sure there is more to be had from my hardware in the right hands but this is where I stopped for the time being.

CPU is water cooled but the GFX cards are air cooled.

[TiTON]

Hmm.. I haven't installed Vantage yet.. it is soo boring :P Sorry.. i hate long benches I will report back on what I get too.

- Ton

ps - Seems Zolkorn has the AMD Vantage WR @ 24k with 3x4890 and 955 @ 5.5Ghz.

Sampsas post date is alot older thus it was a record then, and 24k will be broken soon, and after that sampsa is gonna Roll me with nvidia unless i can find a retail chip that does 6.7 3d........

I'm still on air with cards btw cpu is water

lol.. yeah.. those 295 are very strong on Vantage. I might have to try to get a score in soon too

I will once I dial something in, however I tend to be a pioneer and lead the way and break the laws, you will understand that comment better in the near future.......

[CobraXP]

BTW there is a couple of bios updates for the board improving memory stability and cpu full load heat

[Glow9]

awesome, still sad no other 980a's are out but good stuff!

[theoldtimer]

Has anyone else using this motherboard noticed that when setting the Bus Speed in the bios that you don’t always get the number that’s typed in? I set 204 but the bios sets 202, I type 206 then the bios sets 204, 208 or 207 and get 206. I’m using (if I remember correctly) the 704 bios.

Anyway I tested a little more today and this is the best result I have had with this combination to date.

Vantage PhysX disabled CPU @4125MHz

[CobraXP]

I have a set of Evga GTX 295 reds coming in this weekend... i will run some benches soon.

[chew*]

We raised the bar preety high, dont think AMD vantage record is gonna be doable on air now not even with nvidia......Totally expect samspa to whoop my ass though

[Viper.ja]

wow looking at this stuff making me o/c again hopefully my DFI LP(forgot model #) board will do some good

[theoldtimer]

Undoubtedly a lot of work behind those numbers chew, great score.

[chew*]

I spent alot of time hacking the bios on the cards....third party software clocking has glitches and performance issues......impedes the score by alot......

We're gonna give it another go and see how much of a run we can give the intel guys soon, wasn't maxxed out.

Hopefully my 6.1 gig chip is up to the task in vantage next round.

Well done chew*, the bar is pretty high now. Was it easy to do 5.6Ghz for Vantage?

Yah 5.6 is cake even on a bad chip which that was, Msimax and myself were also a tad sketchy and conservative about voltage with that board, chips usually range from 1.75-1.85 so were were really on the low side.
