3DM2001 low clock challenge

[Micutzu]

I know we need a thread like this, so here it is .

This is all about skills showoff, and the rules are pretty simple: try to get the best possible 3DM01 score at given clocks for CPU and VGA. Singlecard scores only, any FSB / RAM / video shader clocks are allowed.

The limit for CPU's should be 3.6Ghz as almost any Core 2 Duo can do it. After some dicussions I've settled to the following limits for VGA's:

8800Ultra - 711/1200
8800GTX - 661/1100
8800GTS - 661/1000
HD2900XT - 870/1025

They are a little difficult to get on completely stock cards but doable with voltmods on stock coolers, enough to make the challenge a bit harder but still available to as many people as possible.

This is limited only to current gen highend cards as i don't have the time to update the ranking all the time. That won't stop you to submit well tweaked scores with any type of cards though .

And to give the go-ahead, here's a start score on DDR3 platform. So far it's way slower than good DDR2.

E6700 @ 3.6Ghz
8800U @ 700/1200
2x1GB DDR3 @ 720Mhz 6-7-6-18

69523

[BenchZowner]

8800GTX @ 660/1100

Setting the GPU Freq at 660MHz for all standard 8800GTX's results in 648MHz real op. frequency.
So 648MHz core clock for the 8800GTXs, right ?

[N3RO]

The limit for CPU's should be 3.6Ghz as almost any Core 2 Duo can do it. 8800GTX @ 660/1100 or 8800Ultra @ 700/1200 is OK (each in a separate class), i still haven't seen enough R600's around but we could set some limit-clocks for them too if necessary.

1100MHz for mems it's a bit higher.... maybe 1040 it's a good spot to everyone

Right The same situation with 8800 Ultra

1100MHz for mems it's a bit higher.... maybe 1040 it's a good spot to everyone

Yes, 1040-1060MHz is ok, 1100MHz some [ not moded ] GTX not can do.


btw ; 700GPU for Ultra at this moment ( pretty hot ) also on night is not posible for me ( not only me ) Max I can do 660/1130MHz

What about 8800GTS?

I know I can get decent (8800 GTX Single) card scores on my GTS SLI

Have not run Single card and my Quad core. That and I have yet to see if I can get stable @ 3.6

Though I have a E6300 that should be able to get to 3.6

[burton]

Yea can the GTS guys play along?

[andre X_X]

this is my R600 result, just to compare... it still Stock Clock though... 65k-66k still achievable, but 68k will be challenging...

[M.Beier]

Hey man, is my X1900XTX that much outta' style ?

Im in if class will become crowded

[funkflix]

I try to compare with my GX2.

[Viss]

An old one with stock X1950XTX.

nice thread,little one
20 minutes and a very few setting gave me this:


though shaders are a bit low.

Those were just some round clocks, i've edited now so you can enter with 661Mhz for GTX and 711Mhz for Ultra.
Not anyone can do those limit-clocks on stock cards but with voltmodded cards it's easy even with stock cooling. A good tweaker won't be stopped by a voltmod here and there.

All in all, let's warm up the competition a little bit, shall we ?

[BenchZowner]

Agreed

[hipro5]

I'll be here but with the 8800GTX @ 621MHz coz the ultras are insulated now......and with ATI R600 too...

[zakelwe]

Excellent idea

How about a 8800GTS comp with max clocks 600/1700 to see who can pull the most out of the masses ?

Regards

[Gautam]

Great thread Micutzu.

no see your level of OCing experience and sick benches should not be able to stomp on us little guys, hell most of us are struggling with a 20-50% OC............not the monster 80%-100%OCs .

For real? Those of us that have GTS are we not qualified? Also those of us that are SLI GTS? Cause I KNOW I can run @ least @ Stock GTX Speeds

[BenchZowner]

Sure we can add the GTSs in the mix as well

p.s. silently goes away, awaiting the ultra to arrive

I think you miss the point compeltely, this is not who can get the most overclock it is about the best result at a certain achievable frequencies so showing good tweaking skills, hence why I suggested 600/1700 GTS scores. Mind you how do you stop cheating ?

600/1700 works fine... I'm playing with it right now on my 680iGOSLOW board. Wish I had my xbx2 for this... Anyone else want to step up to the plate?

[fhpchris]

Ive been running 4ghz runs all day before you really decided on 3.6, and if I can do it on a quad, you should be able to do it on a dual core!

[afireinside]

Ah freed from that 109mhz PCIE limit on xbx2 at least. I need a vdimm mod so I can get a decent trfc going on and push 600mhz ram

chris, let's just stick with the threads' rule.
3.6G only m8

[fhpchris]

This morning I distinctly remember seeing a thread with 661/1050 @ 4ghz with someone holding 72,000 points, so I must be in the wrong thread...

3.6 is not even daily speeds for a dual core...
