SF3D OC Meeting - (Oct.-09) Some sinlge GPU records?

[SF3D]

OK. Weekend and meeting is over.

It was fun, but really exhausting. Sorry about silence, but we really had no time

We were focusing to Vantage X preset on LN2, but weekend was full of surprises and failures. We spend hours and hours trying to find solution to our problems, but there wasn't any.
Problem was really weird. When we tried to overclock our graphics cards and system at the same time, it was always locking up. It was system failure, cause we could run our cards better, if CPU + other parts were clocked lower.

Chipset problem or motherboard power supply?

Well, we got some pretty ok single card runs, cause then system and VGA was working like they should with one 5870 card

Here is some crappy pictures which were taken during last evening:




Setup:

AMD Phenom 955BE / 965BE (Both real retails )
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe 1.02G
A-Data 1600X
Thermaltake TP 1200W x 2
3 x 5870 (One died before the real tests)
SF3D LN2 pots (LHe / LN2 models tested)
Windows 7 + Beta VGA drivers

Here are the scores:


Single GPU 03:


Single GPU 05:

Single GPU X preset (could not beat the previous run):


Multi GPU Vantage X Preset (3x 5870) Fourth card is dead


Vantage P preset just for fun at low clocks


So this was the sum up from this meeting.

Multi GPU scores were not as good as expected, cause 4th card was dead and there was issue with motherboard/system.

Next time cards will get more clocks and we have to figure out the system problems

Thanks all!

P.S I hope you got home safely my Russian friends! Better scores next time
