[Team.AU] 3DMark Single Card Damage (3D'03 WR?)

[T_M]

My second session with 9800GX2 on LN2, and im pretty happy in general with my first set of full 3D suite results.
GPU clocks vs OCP was a constant battle, with '06 able to do significantly higher clocks than the rest at the same temp and volts.
Spent a long time trying to get '05 Firefly to pass, only to find Canyon tripping it worse.
In '03 it was Nature being difficult.
In '01 i was suprised by DL, while the rest could run at much higher clocks.
As usual Firefly '06 was the OCP tripping test.

With only 30L LN2 i wanted to get the full set of tests covered, so none are particularly optimised (definately not '01 heh).

System
Intel QX9770 on LN2 (Astra pot) @ -140C to -165C
Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 (F4 Bios) with Vcore mod
Gigabyte 9800GX2 on LN2 (XFX Bios, Tek9 4.0) with VGPU/VMem/Cap mods
Patriot 1866MHz DDR3 @ 2.25V
Western Digital WD5000AAKS SATA
Windows XP SP2 general benching install
NVidia 174.88 Driver







3DMark'06 - 29661


3DMark'05 - 36544

u got a lazzy 01 bro

for compare , 300mhz less cpu power and same DL :s .

but for the rest good run and nice score's T_M

Not bad at all...

Keep pushing it...

[SIOUX]

Very nice T_M

The 01 problem is the driver. Either you have to run CH first with the driver you use, or use 173.67 driver, and run it in normal order

Also..did you use LOD for nature? if not, it looks like the cold hit it, and dropped the FPS. should be 1500+ fps sometime the coldbug comes for a milisecond, and its hard to notice, but drops the fps by a lot.

Tim, where's AquaMark 3 ?
Nice scores, apart from 3Dm2001se, but like you said you didn't have the time to tweak them properly.


Anybody tried 174.93 with 3Dm2001 ?

[TheKarmakazi]

Nice work man! Congrats on the 03WR! I am also curious about AM3 did you run that one?

Edit: And VERY nice insulating job. Any particular kind of tape you used?

[George_o/c]

Nice Tim OMG, that 3D 03 run is literally breathtaking ... Yeah, if I recall well ... there is no greater score in single 03 ! Must be a WR

Everything's great ! You used only 30 liters of LN2, and benched the whole suite (well apart from the new Vantage, but a bird told me some things about it that made me kind of sad ), using a VGA that has a really, really annoying OCP problem ...

The only thing that I don't like, is 3D 01 ... But 174.xx are bugged drivers ---> low Nature and low CH ... Using 173.67 and the correct LoD settings could easily get you > 111k

Awaiting for more thrilling results !

[dinos22]

congrats on the W.R. Tim

[harleybro]

Doesn't Sham's 97K 03 count? Definately nice runs though!!

[NightRaven]

that 06 is really higher!

driver t_m?

good work man!

till i find another 5.6ghz cpu hahahaha~ catch ya soon. i wont be meeting ya in tw. so.. have fun the week after!

[3oh6]

very nice session Tim, really putting it all together in these runs with that setup. congrats on the killer scores

[T_M]

Thanks guys, yeah '01 has never going to be good (and never has been for me) and here is how that particular run went (which was the first completed run after failing DL a few times):

5L-8L remaining
LOD 3.9
CPU - 5600
GPU - 930 / 1124
N-CH-DL-DH-LL-LH-CL x 3
Submit 106k score
CPU - 5660
GPU - 980 / 1154
Rerun N-CL-CH-LL-LH
Submit 107k score


Wow, 97k '03 from sham is going to be hard to beat without OCP mod or coldbud BIOS.....

This is my last LN2 run for a couple weeks so I might pull apart the card and do some '01 tests on air

I did run AM3 but it started doing that annoying crashing after explosion before score thing.
Getting sick of it happening so i just moved on.

[xwards]

great scores

[massman]

Congratulations on the 3DM03 single card record, Tim!!


Shame on you for that crappy 01, though

[NH|Delph1]

Great runs, but I hate to be a killjoy. You're still about 400 points short of the 3DMark 03 record. linky
If anyone can do it, it's you

[nachthymnen]

Really good resuts as always T_M
And really good QX

[necron66]

Nice runs T_M.

So AM3 dosn't only do that for me

[andre X_X]

nice run there bro... the astra pots looks Great

[ZoLKoRn]

Very nice results Congrats for WR Tim

[eva2000]

congrats Tim.. looks like those patriot DDR3 are doing nicely too

no youtube vid this time ?

Doesn't Sham's 97K 03 count? Definately nice runs though!!

thats what i was thinking 97048

[begrip]

he he always the drivers fault, nice results!

[k|ngp|n]

Doesn't Sham's 97K 03 count? Definately nice runs though!!

Sure it does
Shams owning EVERYONE LOL ...97k+ single gx2
He doesn't care about hwbot.
Still nice work though team AU.

[T_M]

Thanks Vince.

@ begrip, i never blamed the driver. Im the first to admit that '01 is my weakest bench.
