Some Dothan/7900gtx am3 fun

[k|ngp|n]

Threw together the 780m/7900gtx for it's last sendoff in am3 and 01' tonight.
Session ended very prematurely however, as I think I killed this p4gd1 ...dammit. need to let it dry out overnight I think.

Worked up the card clocks for a a pretty nice single gpu am3 score.
Almost 21k cpu score under 4ghz still!
Card is about maxed, but cpu def. had enough to take WR and do some damge in 01'...hope the board lives. Really bummed about it atm.
780M / single 7900GTX

[mr_knowitall15]

JESUS!!!!!! those GPU clocks are NUTS!!!!!!! so is that score! squeeze the rest outta that dothan and tear the ORB up

[\Karting_freak]

nice score!
i may get you a p4gd1, pm me if you need one

[Charles Wirth]

That is sick, nice work.

Good to see you keeping the pressure on.

[[cTx]Philosophy]

WoW crushing results, sry about your board, hairdryer it :P
thats what I do with all my kids kb's when they spill sode or juice on it..

Wish ya luck!!

[C-BuZz]

how many volts going through GPU core?

Dam fine result.

C-BuZz

[NoX]

Nice job. You kept your word...

[bazx]

KP do you think all 79GTX can get those ram clocks or is it still luck of the draw

the samsung gddr 3 is set tight compared to the spec sheet would relaxing them help the rest us get better clocks


your clocks are nut dude

[adz]

gpu clock is IMPRESSIVE

[massman]

can't the dothan go even faster than 39xx MHz. ?

anyway, insane

[Kesnel]

Over 1Ghz core on the card.

Congrats and the great clocks.

[wtkprol]

Wow, those are some ridiculous clocks. Way to go again Kingpin!

[Cornelious0_0]

That's fricken nuts Kingpin...you might want to show "My boys" how it's done and come post up as many scores as you can in my "[H]ardForum Top10 Database" over in the Overclocking and Cooling section of [H]...here's the link...that score is freakin' nuts...and it'd be killer to have your numbers posted up on my charts.

Great stuff

I hope the board is'nt dead. Would like to see some more wonderful things from you...

Very impressive card and cpu clocks!

[k|ngp|n]

nice score!
i may get you a p4gd1, pm me if you need one

Thanx very much for the offer KF. Unfortunately it was my 780ES that died
Mobo and adapter tested fine this morning with a diff chip. I think running high vcca(2.8v) earlier last night during some cpu testing may have lead to it's failure. I had that little lh/dh/ch stable over 4050mhz too.

[Moonman]

Sorry to hear that.

lh/dh/ch stable over 4050mhz

For shure that was amazing chip.

[bullet2urbrain]

ahh 20k CPU Score, that to me is the most impressive thing i see there.

Great Job K|ngP|n .. i knew your Dothan had it within.

Sucks to hear about the chip.. Great way to send it off tho... no wait not really sending off HW is never good

nooooooooo cpu died? Man that was one of few Dothan's i looked up too . Well Kingpin your PM system will always be in my personal hall of fame
That is a crazy score anyway. 20K+ for cpu . And so close to WR.
I bet if Dothan had a better platform to run on you would get it...
Here is a litle info from Anad explaining wy Dothan does so well in AM3.

Let us not forget that loads are probably the most important instructions of all. Not only are loads about one third of the micro-ops that are in flight in a x86 CPU, but they can also cause costly stalls when a load needs to go to the L2 cache (or worse, system memory). So how does this super flexible reordering of loads compare with other architectures?

The P6 and P-M could already reorder Loads pretty good. They could move one Load before other Loads, as well as before Stores which have no unknown addresses or addresses which do not reference the same address as the load. In contrast, the Athlon 64 can only move loads before independent ALU operations (ADD etc.). Loads cannot be moved ahead much at all to minimize the effect of a cache miss, and other loads cannot be used to keep the CPU busy if a load has to wait for a store to finish. This means that the Athlon 64 processor is severely limited when it comes to reorder code.

This is probably one of the most important reasons why the Athlon 64 does not outperform the P-M in gaming and integer workloads despite having a lower latency memory system and more integer execution sources. Integer workloads tend to jump around in memory, and have many unknown addresses which must be calculated first. It is less important for FP intensive loads, which is also one of the reasons why the Athlon 64 had no problem with Dothan in this kind of workload. FP workloads access the memory in a much more regular fashion.

dead dothan

get Hipro's? he's selling it now...

maybe 21k cpu score

[farksy]

That's sure some mad stuff !

A pity that Dothan died .... hopefully there is another that can do even more
And i must say, that's some insane core clocks !

[metro.cl]

maybe it was a signal, you have to move to conroe mate

you'll be taking down several WR with conroe soon

[freecableguy]

the best CPUs always go down in a flame of glory...that's the way it's meant to be

great score, go ahead, take my WR back from me, I'm just shy of 158K now

[0verl0ad]

20k CPU Score
Wow i thought it can only be done with an Conroe or Yonah .....

[afireinside]

Sorry to hear Vince Extremely impressive while it lasted, though.

[cMw]

damn nice am3 score

sux about the cpu dude...
