Is it just me or what, cause when ever I run it with my X2 I get an avrage of 15FPS?

[AphexDreamer]

For some reason mine keeps running at 8x Anti Aliasing? I don' even have CCC running or set to that, it just keeps running it at 8x. Anyone how to fix this?

i get 40+ before it crashes and that xfire....

 

[CyberDruid]

My score seems really out of line... Way low.

My score seems really out of line... Way low.

yea, especially since a few of us have beaten it with a single 3870.

 

[CyberDruid]

Hmmmm

Well I did snap a cap on one of the cards a while back

Might wanna fix that soon. Are you pretty skilled with the iron or are they still under warranty? Maybe an RMA coming your way soon.

The only HD3870 that isnt past CD's X2 is the HD3870 of Coldstorms.

Edit: retraction of reasoning

 

[thoughtdisorder]

The only HD3870 that isnt past CD's X2 is the HD3870 of Coldstorms. Im pretty sure some of us know why his card wouldnt perform up to snuff

Please elaborate what you mean exactly sneeky.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Yeah, your going to have to,he never said anything to me either about lackluster on his HD3870.

 

[sneekypeet]

Because it also was missing a piece, due to a failed voltmod.

Oh, I see. I wasn't sure how your post was relevant.

 

[sneekypeet]

Oh, I see. I wasn't sure how your post was relevant.

the post was relevant due to the fact that all HD3870's besides broken ones were doing better than CD's X2...not a few!

funny how they scored within like 10 points of eachother as well!

 

[CyberDruid]

Well I reran it with Folding off and scored about 3K.

I tried running 06 and it crashes...then I remebered I had the clocks set a bit too high in CCC.

There is no way to repair the cap that broke off...and since the card seems to be working (until now lol) I whought I would just leave it go. The Skulltrail has a molex beside the lowest PCIe slot and that is what pushed on the cap as I inserted the card: I heard but could not see the damage until I pulled the card to look.

 

[Random Murderer]

his card was never overclocked quite as far as the others, not due to limitations, but because we never found the time to bench it.
the card ran happily, even with the missing piece.

 

[sneekypeet]

judging by his post its kinda tough to tell for sure what his clocks were at all.....are we to assume this was a stock run then?

His clocks are irrelevant really....the point was CD's X2 is horribly placed in the scores list....even if Coldstorms card was at stock...CD's X2 should have beat it by more than 10 points!!!!!!


And TBH that is a shit score for CS also...do your homework before you go spreading untruths random.....

Stock run with furbench...if CS's card was OC'd there is something wrong with his card....proof is in the screenshots!!!!!

Granted I only beat his score by 78 points, but mine is stock and you claim his was with an OC.

I never had The "volt mod" on to this card with fur scores. The only mod I had was the pencil mod after the flashed bios. No ocing afterwards. We tried the trim pot mod and messed up. Oh well. I stopped posting scores in fur because I was never updated the first time I did it. Like I tell people over and over on here. I never gave a damn about ocing until I got my Nvidia card. So, maybe now I'll oc, maybe I won't...
To clear up if I confused anyone. First post was stock settings. Then the second was the pencil mod.

So then your score posted to this thread was at stock clocks and not OC'd as random claims?

 

[Cold Storm]

First was stock clocks.. The second was with the pencil mod. and that was 3326 I believe... I'm at work and don't feel like finding the post with the score. But if you find my gpu-z that i did after the mod, you'll see that the clocks where oc'd. But not by lots because of the Gecube starting clock at 800...
But after that i didn't post anything because I didn't care to bench. I had more things to do. But, now I do care about benching and hopefully I'll be able to do better with this Palit Card!!!

 

[Cold Storm]

sorry for the double post but I'm not on the last page.. Work internet is slower then a kid playing with himself... It was 3328 fur score with the pencil mod and bios flash.


Edit: My card was the testing card for the pencil mod and Volt mod. After they where applied I never did anything after that. The only card that has been modded and oc'd afterwards has been my Nvidia card. But, since the new fur keeps hanging after it gets done, even at stock speeds now, I haven't posted anything about that one yet.

so the score in the listing is stock...wonder why it was never updated to reflect your OC score....once again tho its just a guess to the clocks run for comparison, as you never posted the videocard clocks.

I retract the statement of it not running up to snuff due to the botched Vmod, but Id really love to get the clocks from that run to try to reproduce that score!

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, I didn't know at the time how to do benching for people. The fur score was my first time I ever did a post for any type of benching. I learned from that. Oh, did i learn. lol For the first temp I do have to say a few things:

1 I know that fur is just Graphic, opengl, but, I did have a dead mobo and ram while doing it. My Blood Iron and Tracers were NOT in the system specs at that time. It was a Gigabyte Dsl Rev. 2 and Wintec Amprox 1066.. I don't know if That will do anything for it...

2 is that the first bench is the normal Gecube HD specs. stock clock is at 800. So I don't know if that will be a factor for ya ether.

If needed to do a run with the nvidia I will... Its a crap score out of the box.. I believe around 2400 is what I got. Since I got the Striker II board, and this Nvidia card, I'm going to keep a journal with all stock speeds for every bench, and then just keep making notes for it.

As for the Vmod. Like I've said. My card was the test run. If done right with a clear head and so forth it would of been done with great of ease. But, because of doing to many things at once, there was a mess up. Like I've told you before sneeky. I allow RM to do any type of mod if needed. You have to learn in order to be as good as you are. I mean, the man brought the card back to life. I can't say he did bad by that!

here is a furbench run no xfire on this single card only
