OpenGL Fur Benchmark

[1Kurgan1]

Having a bit of issues with this now. I was running 800 GPU and memory would vary between 900 and 950 depending if I forgot to reclock it when messing around. Anyways I DL'd Rivatuner since it would allow me to go over the 800 cap that CCC has.

When OC'ing with Riva I can OC the 1st GPU just fine. But when I run the test no matter if the shortcut is renamed it will only run using 1 card. It will run stable and ran great at 849mhz I knockedo ut like 6.5k score. But the second I OC the 2nd GPU in Riva it goes unstable in furmark. Running both the 1st and 2nd GPU's at the same clocks, 800, 836, 849 they would all crash, but if I just didn't OC the 2nd GPU it would run 1 card fine.

Even when OCing the second GPU it wouldn't use it, would sit at about 100fps then go unstable. Where as running at 750 GPU it runs well over 160fps.

Well playing with the Volt tool. Threw it to 1.225 and threw some more shader.

I realise it's not nice to post on this thread asking questions with no bench scores to post
but I feel I need to bring this to the attention of the thread.

I would like to participate in this thread fully but I need more verifications.

On attempt to install ATITOOL 0.29 from techpowerup mirrors in Vista32 I receive the following error.

Windows could not verify the "publisher" of this "driver" ( it's not digitaly signed ? )

I'm not certan why ATITOOL is attempting to install a driver or why and for WHAT ...

I sense it would alter my cat drivers, and that would be a no no in my books.

I'm asking about this because I feel ATITOOL would be a good thing but I'm cautious.

Does anyone else get the same message I do under vista32 ...

I feel if they proceeded with the installation after being warned thats not a very good policy.

Do we know who the publisher of the software is, and why vista32 says it's not signed ?

I do have another question, but this issue should be delt with first ...

reguardless of what happens I want you all to know I appreciate your posts and all your efforts
on this thread as it helps me make a better judgement call on my second more critical question.

Thank you all very much and I hope to post a good scores.

 

[sweeper]

It cannot verify the publisher because it is not a Microsoft Signed driver. There are several programs out that cannot be verified by Microsoft. This does not mean they are BAD or destructive in anyway if you know where and what you are downloading. ATITOOL is used by several several people and is a very popular tool. Vista32 gives warnings on any program it seems. The program is easily removable if you do not like it also.

Thank you for the information sweeper , I gave you a thank you for the post.

I found out that W1zzard is the programmer of ATI-Tools and I can now ask a more serious question.

I can't seem to find any documentation on what the AGP VDDQ voltage should be for
my Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP 512MB version.

Kiriakost who has an identical motherboard and video card stated that he likes to set his at 1.7 volts and that makes his stuff stable.

but does anyone know what the factory recommends on it ?

I'd sure like to know because I know how easy it is to kill a video chip.

and this issue has me very worried , I won't have any money for a long time to replace it if I dammage it , and there is no life time warrenty , only the time frame specified by newegg for an RMA should things go wrong.

I take it Riva doesn't automatically OC the second GPU when in CFX mode?

hey man i get a 249 score lol i have a ATI RV610 based integrated gpu Radeon 3100 ...what the hell ?? i eman how can i have such lower score..do you do the bencvhmark in full screen or windowed???

Benchmark in fullscreen.

I don't know if it affects your GPU, but I know most ATI cards will stay at their idle clocks if you use windowed mode. Fullscreen is needed to get the cards to go into there full working clocks.

 

[MohawkAngel]

ok then my full working clock is 5 fps and 249 score

Looks that we have '' New top scorer '' at the old ASUS P4C800E DLX family ...

I run mine at stock 1.5v or 1.6v when I add an aftermarket cooler to keep the card cool and monitor my temps also. I tried mine at 1.7v and the BIOS gave a warning. If you are not going to overclock the card 100% of the time, stock voltage should be fine which should be 1.5v.

 

[CH@NO]

Here's mine, I know that I'm not enter to the main list 'cause I'm not using the 1280X1024 res, It's 'cause my monitor only supports 1440X900 res.

anyway, I wanna just show you how much it perform a 8800GTS.

 

[craigwhiteside]

wow looking at those scores, makes my 8800GT look weak =/ (only scored 2807)
