5970 testing

[macci]

easy start with safe voltage levels:


coming up next from the SF3D OC dungeon:

- LN2 tests with C3 965BE
- 5970 with more exotic cooling
- 4GPUs?
- decent 3DM03 and Vantage Xtreme scores?

CPU pot is installed, time to fire things up now!

[Hazzan]

[ZillaPct]

Great start Sami and brake new AMD barrier

[carpo93]

nice start man, hope to recieve my vga soon

[BenchZowner]

Sami's back
We'll be waiting ( patiently ? ).

[hiwa]

2 of them and 6500 2K5 should be a real DAMAGE on AMD setup

Great start sami, want to see more
Great our old petri man

[macci]

first 05 run was at 6.3G, score was top10 single card (aircooled GFX)

[MTP04]

Looking forward to your results Macci

first 05 run was at 6.3G, score was top10 single card (aircooled GFX)

great news

[Zeus]

Yeah! 05 and 06 WR on AMD incoming!!

*grabs popcorn and beer*

Good luck guys.

[macci]

so far nicely in single card top 10 of:

3dm05
3dm06
3dm03

with aircooled GFX and about 6.2...6.35G CPU

SF3D will take it from here with multi-card and higher scores. Good luck! I'll need to drive back home now.

weekend teaser huh

go keep pushing it and make some ORB damage

Peace

[George_o/c]

Macci's back, I'm loving it

[hipro5]

Nice going....

ALSO it's NICE to see you bench LN2 from time to time Sami...

[DeDaL]

Hey Sami, nice to see you benching!

What version of driver you are use ?

[hicookie]

nice start;
hope AMD can release new offical driver
and FM can quickly verify for aprroved driver

[SF3D]

Hi all!

Macci came by and brought some souvenirs. Nice!

This was the first touch with cards and heat seems to be a problem on aircooling. It was already fixed with one card, which was steaming up to -80c.

Here are the scores and setup details.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE retail (random)
ASUS Crosshair III Formula
A-Data D9GTR
ATI Radeon 5970 (2x)
Thermaltake TP 1200W x 2
Dimastech bench table
SF3D OC line LN2 pot
Win Vista 32-bit (the fast one)

Our randomly picked 965 BE seems to be quite average

03 Single and dual:



05 single and dual:



06 single (CPU only at 6188 )


Those were the first scores. More will follow very soon from Macci

Thank you Sami!

..and I will continue singing "Hemlock Hemlock whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you...

see you when the time is ready

[stummerwinter]

Damn nice scores!

[Lightman]

A nice weekend surprise!

Thanks guys!

[Zeus]

Awesome! 5970 Nice clocking random picked C3 cpu, especially for CPU-NB.

I'm looking forward to more of this. WR potential stuff, keep pushing! Lhe?

[hiwa]

nice single card numbers man
QCFX need new drivers

[dinos22]

nice!
you didnt have any issues with card clocking? i saw a couple of threads with ppl complaining of some issues OCing cards while on LN2
good to see Sami getting excited about OCing

[SF3D]

Yes, there is some issues with cards under LN2. Card is confused about 2D / 3D voltages and it is doing thermal throttling at the same time. So, it need to be fixed with new bios again.

Now, I need some people to tell me, that they can clock their cards without any issues

With MSI afterburner I overclocked my 5970 @ 1000MHz core and mem 1200MHz with no issue. On air.
But I want to go over CCC limits.

BTW nice scores Macci & SF3D
