Alcpone's Official 3DMark '06 Compilation

[Alcpone]

just a quick question what settings are you all using like aa, filtering and sm.2 or sm.3 and which tests

sorry if it seems like a daft question :shadedshu

Everything on default, no aa or anything, aslong as its 1280x1024!

 

[Alcpone]

I fucked up my card. I can't play any games, I got the memory to oc to 1.8Ghz effective and it worked like a charm for 2 days, then decided I'd do a run of 3dmark06..... Computer started, and I thought why not some bf2142. game crashed 16 times. So did FEAR combat and every other game even at default speeds. The computer just crashes sometimes BSOD sometimes not. I am well and truly buggered - no games including 3dmark06 work. Could try an RMA but ebuyer ran out of this model and its my fault so I dunno if I could actually be that dishonest. I'm gonna investigate the card tonight and check all the voltages etc. Out comes the soldering iron.

Oh dear...

Sounds like its screwed, dunno if there is anything you can do once you've cooked it

 

[Garb3]

righty ohhh then i'll post some screenies soon

 

[Garb3]

right now for the daft question how do i post my screenie cause the file is bigger and what yer allowed to upload

 

[Alcpone]

Did you print screen and ctrl + v it into paint and save as a jpeg?

 

[Garb3]

nor its a bitmap image does that make a differance like

 

[Alcpone]

well yeah lol, it will be a massive file, jpeg will be smaller

 

[Garb3]

right i changed it to jpeg(didnt think it would make a differance

anyway i did think that i would get a better score than that i guess i will just have to oc a bit more and see what i get

 

[Alcpone]

Aint to shabby, get clocking What clocks are your gfx core and mem?

 

[Garb3]

well saying that like i just had a quick look at the first page and that score would put me in at around 12th place so its really that bad but i think that i can get better if i get me procy up to around 3.0Ghz and get me x1950pro 625/730 i think that should give me a little boost like

edit: at the min there at 621/700 cant seem to get them stable at the min and me bios does not have a voltage table in it

 

[Alcpone]

So that run was @ 625/730?

Was thinkin lol, the pro's only go up in 7's!

 

[Garb3]

right well i'm off to the amd oc club to see if i can remember how not to blow me procy up again lol and try and reach 5600 then i will be pleased lol

Oh dear...

I'm so screwed, I blew all my money on this computer and now I've got revsion for my GCSE's with no computer games to distract me..... Just how my evil parents wanted, damn them, damn them all!

No but seriously I don't know what I can do. I could blow my uni savings on it, but I don't know if they actually exist let alone the account number...hmmmm seems the only way to get thorugh this difficult time is to resort to robbing banks or those quaint little corner shops - aren't they just adorable

Yes...Yes I am going mad, help me....please...God help me

 

[Wile E]

Just rma it, and forget to mention the overclocking part. lol

 

[Garb3]

just rma it you should be fine u might get a batter card since there are none of yours in stock

edit: yer beat me to it lol

 

[theonetruewill]

Just rma it, and forget to mention the overclocking part. lol

Yeah but isn't that just a blatant lie. I dunno, it is my fault...,or maybe I can blame it on Jesus! ..............No...no I can't blame it on Jesus.... I'll think about it, who do I rma it to, manufacturer or retailer if it comes to it?

 

[techbuzz]

Opps. Sorry Alcpone. Here you go:

 

[erocker]

In 8 more days my 2900xt will be in my system and I will try to gain ATi some respect.

 

[Garb3]

you should rma it bk to the retailer. then if that doesnt work then the manufacturer(pardon the spellin its gettin late

Whomever gives you the least hassle. And to be honest, if it ran stable for days, and showed no signs of overheating, it may have just been defective to begin with.

4309!

Beat ya Xtant, now lets see what more I have to do to beat you next time. This is one hot competition, but thanks for putting me in the right direction Your Ace, and the battle is on, core oc's vs memory oc's. Btw I think I can reach ....877 memory, just give me a sec or two!

Well i finally got everything running good and i have a new score of 4362.....http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1885108 eVGA 7600GT @745/777

 

[Alcpone]

In 8 more days my 2900xt will be in my system and I will try to gain ATi some respect.

Cool

Are you going to build a new rig to accomodate it?

 

[Garb3]

oc'ed me procy to 2.93Ghz and card to 621/ 721 and it only got an extra 20 points lol:shadedshu

Well done mate, I think I've fixed my card. FUCK YEAH! I basically used driver cleaner on it, then took off the cooler, put some AC 5 on the core, and put a small pencil line over one of the resistors for the memory(like the voltmod - to give more power to the VRAM's) to give the card some more voltage, as I thought that might have been the problem. Works now. Oh did I mention, getting a new PSU in a week, to replace my crappy one and gonna get another 1GB of RAM. With the new PSU, I should manage an oc around 2.9-3.0 and then more ram should also help my score. Till then my friend, till then.

Well thats good to hear your card isnt fried.... im thinking about buying a new board so i can oc my cpu since im using a dell and i cant at the moment should help my score a bit.
