Gulftown Q3QP + 5870 + DICE my first runs...including video ;)

[SoF]

Hey friends!

today I finally could manage my first single card session this year with my Gulftown fully DICE cooled. Hardware-wise it run quite smooth and I am very happy to report: all ok, no injuries, no deaths so far
GPU pot is hard to handle with DICE - temps go up to -45°C during longer benches like 06 and vantage, I am refilling all the time.

12 minute video footage of my session (DivX, AVI, 56MB)

Pics from preparations:



and now the scores - maaaan I am starving for LN2, DICE is just not half as fun :p

Aquamark 3 375k @ 5476 MHZ CPU - had a run at 5.5 GHZ with over 380k but AM3 didn't liked me today and failed with grey stripes a couple of times ^^


3D Mark 2003 104k - just quickly benched at the very beginning...hate it still

3D Mark 2005 43.6k - that's more like it, I like 05 sooo much, think 44k within the next days

3D Mark 2006 - 31.1k GPU has some room just a "Save-Run"...

3D Mark Vantage Performance - 25.6k - wrong driver, but still not too shabby...hard to handly with DICE GPU as well as CPU...refilling all the time
