OpenGL Fur Benchmark

[largon]

My burned 8800GT never came to life. Turned out the GPU had shorted when the mosfet fried. Anyways, here's my new toy:

Asus 8800GTS 512MB @ 802 / 1998 / 1053 (2106)
3433

No vmods yet but GPU is watercooled. At stock freqs GTS scores a bit over 2800.

yea, seriously crash, stop frickin whining.
this isn't a popularity contest.
the fact of the matter is that the only 8800gt, nay, the only nvidia card in the top ten was volt modded and heavily overclocked.
ati cards are just better at THIS PARTICULAR BENCHMARK.
calm down, unbunch your panties, and go run aquamark3.

Well one, Im not really whining as I was just trying to figure out why the hell i was getting low scores compared to that of ATI cards which are much lower in performance compared to that of my card.

Two, I could care less about the top nvidia card.

Three, they need to have a benchmark that is not favored for one particular brand in cards.

Four, I was never uptight in the first place and since the makers of Aquamark 3 were bought out a few years back, there are no new releases and thus it does not work on any machine greater than XP.

not in the fur bench they aint.. which is why ati cards score higher..

Hence me stating that there needs to be a graphics benchmark that can run under Vista that does not favor one brand over the other.

that's what WE'RE saying, the test doesn't favor ati, the 2900's and 3800's just fare so well because they have so many stream processors.

Vista is just to new to have that happen yet... yeah, we all knew that it was coming out, but what would you do? develop for a os that we know runs and works or a os system that don't have a clue that runs, and will be buggy if we do?

I'm with you on vista, love it... but it will come. wait and time will tell

Correct, and if a developer would program a game using this many shader ops, the ATI cards would embarrass the nVidia cards. ATI was banking on this happening when making their design, but it hasn't panned out that way. Things would be a lot different in the gfx market if it had.

HD3870 @ 985/1287 Thank you pencil mod!

 

[Monkeywoman]

dude thats awesome. whats cooling that monster?

 

[The Haunted]

Just a regular water cooling setup. This card beg for more voltage...

 

[trog100]

nice one but i recon u might well kill your card.. mine got very hot at 1.5 volts.. but i recon your score will do for a while..

i would scrape some lead of now u have it.. get the other benches first thow.. he he he

and wile is right about the way games are written.. the 2900 was a little advanced for em..

[mandelore]

oooh, nice..

guess once my pump arrives ill post my other scores

what temperatures were you getting?

 

[newtekie1]

Just because I don't see any x800 class cards in the scores here is my x800XL@440/540.

 

[Cold Storm]

Newtekie, are you trying to get the lowest scores!?!? lol.. looks good and sweetness.

rofl it beats the X1650PRO

 

[mandelore]

rofl it beats the X1650PRO

X800 goodness!!

back in the day it rocked the shit outa everything...

i remember modding it from a pro vivo to an xt platinum edition, rock solid. its what i had when i first got HL2. Its daft how far the cards have come along in comparison

but to the x800

my 7800GS beat it and cost about the same when i was looking (agp wise) so 7800GS goodness for me

It isn't surprising when you look at the specs of the cards.

The x800XL has 16 ROPs and 16 Shaders, the x1650Pro only has 4 ROPs and 12 Shaders. The x1650Pro is clocked higher though, so it does edge out the x800XL ever so slightly in Shader operations, but that isn't enough to make up for the lack of ROPs. Add to that the fact that the x1650Pro only has a 128-bit memory bus, compared to the 256-bit bus of the x800XL, and it is no wonder the x800XL wins.

hehehe...

if only my original TEC hadnt melted it, then id show you some!

 

[The Haunted]

oooh, nice..

guess once my pump arrives ill post my other scores

what temperatures were you getting?

The gpu run at 38c at 1.51 volt
Do you think its safe to go 1.6 -1.65 if the temps are ok? (i have an antec spot cool on the pwm)

safe is relative word dude.. u are the guinea pig u tell us.. he he

i know what mine did at 1.5 volts so your cooling must be bloody wonderfull to keep it at 32 C.. u sure u are measuring it right..???

trog

ps.. its your load temps i am on about.. 32 C seems way too cool for 1.5 volts..

 

[The Haunted]

Im using ati tool and everest to mesure the core temperature, on stock cooler it was in the 90s.
At 839 stock voltage on water cooling it stay at 38 100% load and 985 mhz 1.51v still 38...
the board is slightly warm to the touch. So the temp mesuring seem to work.

Drat. I'm not the slowest.

hi everyone, my first post here in the forums. This bench caught my attention and here are my results.
HD2900XT 1GB 832Mhz Core

reading the same sounds wrong to me dude..

the stock air cooler auto targets a certain temp.. i cant see how your water does that.. all i know is 1.5 volts generates a hell of a lot more heat than 1.34 does.. so u should see a temp increase of some sorts..

i use rivatuner monitor to give me temps read outs..

my results were at 1.34 volts.. the stock air cooler runs at less than 40% fan speed to maintain its 90 C target under full load.. the fur benchmarks heats things up fully..

at 1.5 volts the stock air cooler ran nearly 90% leaf blower style and the temps went up to 102 C..

with its fan running leaf blower stye the stock cooler isnt a bad cooler.. 1.5 volts did kinda overwhelm it thow..

okay water is better but 32 C at stock and the same at 1.5 just dont seem right to me..

my temps were with the card running around 830 core.. what they would have been like up around the 1000 core i cant imagine..

trog

ps.. i see u say 38 C.. my 32 must from an earlier post..
