3DMark Vantage Compilation

crank it up!

get 1000mhz on that core and you'll hit 19k

1250mv for 1000mhz core
 
Quick run. Still trying to get the hang of i7 clocking. Not too bad for an older card I think.

My Q9650, Gigabyte, 8Gbs are being replaced by i930, Gigabyte UD7, 6Gb HyperX. I will have to run my Q9650 again I haven't benched it since I added another 4Gbs of Ram, and a better SSD. Probably won't increase my score much. I am totally stoked to see what this i930 can do.
 
ahh! my new gcard :D

Crushgate|GTX470|820/850/1640|21534|PII 965c3@3.9Ghz

having trouble hitting 4ghz on my cpu so 3.9ghz will will have to do

Question, how much of an impact do you think your board makes? Do you think it is fairly responsible for the 980X's performance, or is it the chip?

Reason being, I'm going with Gigabyte next upgrade. Prolly a UD5 like yours but maybe higher if I have the funds.

how high can you get your blck on your mb ?
 
I've ran it to 210, but it simply wont post past 200 with this 940.

Ram runs into the 1900's with lower timings, I just think it's power phase design is lacking.

For me, I think it's primarily chip, as I have unlocked multis, so I don't need a lot of bclock. But I've been told GB is one of the better clockers in general anyway. I'm happy with my board, and most other GB owners I speak to seem to say the same. I would've gone UD7 if it was in the budget.
 
You still think it can account for the stable OC? I'm researching a higher power phase design not only for my elec. circuits class but for a rock solid motherboard.

Yeah, good power regulation can make a big difference. Mines been rock solid so far, and it's only the 1st gen UD5, not the newer X58A UD5.
 
Thanks, I'm leaning towards the 2nd gen for USB 3 and Sata 6. :D

yeah i heard the 940 doesnt like high blck

make sure you can raid with the sata 6 if you want to i did but mine doesnt :mad:
 
Its been a while, but I've finally got something to compete with :D

How is your CPU score sooo much higher than mine when we are running them practically at the same speed. I'm not hatin just curious, did I miss something?

PhysX ;)
 
i love physx :P but yeah i wouldnt mind posting a non physx test too. might do that now :)
 
not going to post the score but i got P17430

keep in mind im still only using ddr2 ram
 
What does DDR2 have to do with vantage? I wouldnt imagine the scores to be much different.

Take away the PhysX (like you are supposed to) and those are your real scores. ;)

I still cant believe its even allowed.
 
Got a card that can use it then so be it, if your card has features that some proggies use then why not?
 
Because its not accepted at the ORB or Hwbot and doesnt portray a realistic result when comparing ATI to Nvidia or games without PhysX.

For example, someone comes on here and sees that a GTX260 216 is beating out a HD5850 in vantage b/c physx was enabled, then goes and gets a 260 216 only to be spanked around by games without PhsyX....

Another thing to mention is that it boosts the CPU score, not GPU score.

PhysX when enabled in games without a dedicated physx card, the FPS DROP, while in this benchmark the results are better.



Shall I go on? :) (sorry for being so bitter about this)
