OpenGL Fur Benchmark

[Deleted member 57642]

That means your card wasn't stable enough. And yeah, it could be temperature related but not because of GPU. My bet is on VRM, HD 4870 has a digital VRM and even with watercooling showing the GPU at 45*C the cards would reset the PC or give a black screen on the monitor. Verifiying the VRM with everest - it was showing more then 100*C wile the GPU was near 45*C.

I have an excellent cooling on my card, even some heatsinks on VRM but I can't check the real temps cause HD 4850 has no sensor near VRM,shows only the GPU temps. Yet, with 700/1150 OC my card resets in stability test and of course the GPU is lower then 65*C. At stock temperatures my VRM can take it with current cooling. Until I find some heavy heat sink for my VRM I won't even OC my card. Of course there's always the VRM cooling from the original cooler, but I need my warranty so I won't cut it.

put a old chipset HS on it or a s7 cpu cooler

Nice OC on that HD 4850, what do you use for cooling (especially for VRM)?

 

[tomcug]

It's cooled by Accelero S1 and 120MM. For VRM cooling, I've cut the stock cooler like this:

 

[kingkongtol]

wohohoho..., i have a "dead by furmark" clan
the vrm, is it the smaller black or bigger grey?, is it?, but my diy waterblock has a contact with them, mmm, is vrm for memory needs a cooling too?, where i can find it?, maybe my vrm memory was dead?
i plan to give my new card a mod again, but this time more safely mod
btw this is my last screenshot before my old card dead...

Kingkongtol, you need to cool these areas:

Kingkongtol, you need to cool these areas:

the upper one, is it mem vrm?, maybe thats my fault, im not covering mem vrm with any cooling, are you just put a ramsink on it?, is it cool enough?, i dont have any ramsink, maybe tomorrow ill buy one set ramsink...

I use the same Cooler for my HD 4850: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?p=930034#post930034 but didn't wanna cut my Original Cooler, since I might need it for warranty purpose.





A cooper heatsink is more appropriate for cooling the VRM, my aluminum heatsinks (ramsinks) can't take it in OC, using FurMark stability test.

Kingkongtol, memory VRM is the area with a choke and two MOSFETs. GPU VRM is the area with four chokes and eight MOSFETs. XSAlliN, you should apply bigger heatsinks on VRM if you want to increase voltage.

 

[Deleted member 57642]

Neah, It's not about voltage - I was referring to default voltage and a decent OC like 700/1150.

Whatever, I think you should apply bigger heatsinks if you don't want to burn your card.

Like this, it can take it at stock speeds. At least for the moment. I'll send a suggestion to ThermalRight.com about a custom Heatskink for cooling the VRM:

ok my turn 6715 with SLI 9800gtx

 

[Black Panther]

Black Panther,
You have to tick "Alternate Frame Rendering" in nVIDIA Control Panel to enable SLi in FurMark.

I ran the test again and SFR gave me a score somewhere over 2K.

Still not higher than my single 8800GT on desktop.
Still can't understand why notebook gets higher 3Dmark06 score than desktop, yet lower score in OpenGL Fur.

I'll edit this post later in the afternoon to post the screenshot.

Please re-run the bench on version 1.4.0.
1.0.0 is horribly outdated.
=)

Okay, this is a benchmark on the updated version 1.4.0:

Another update - 7800GS+ 512

See attached - a new AGP 7800GS+ 512 (Gainward).

886 Furmarks.

This a P3...see link below.

Thx & Regards,
