Please man... Not everything is false.. Just look at the massive list of 4200 on the board showing 17k+!!!!
So everyone flashed their BIOS from a 4600 to a 4200??? Come on.. I said it can be possible, doesnt mean I did it or if it would actually work... It was just a possibility.. Not even a very good guess :D

perhaps, also even if those ti4200s did those insane ocs, youd need prometeias to the core and ram plus ungodly volt mods. 370 on the core isnt so unbelievable, ive seen people get 320-340 on air with a v mod, a few even without v mods! the ram is a different story however. going from 500 to 770MHz? damn! :eek: even for albatrons, not many do 650 on the ram, the last guy got only 295/600 on his albatron turbro! maybe if you are very, very, very, very lucky against long odds you might hit 700MHz on the ram, then use a prometeia cooling both the core/ram and v mod it to ungodly levels and perhaps its possible. Those guys are pros and insane tweakers, I would need a $1000 prometeia to even think about hitting 350/700+ speeds, let alone what they did. also I would need way higher than 190fsb too. Could cost me 2 grand for that, many cpus and ti4200s before I find one thatll oc that high and then yea after weeks of time and thousands spent ill break 17k. good for bragging rights, bad for games, a simple $250 9800 would match or eat that ti4200
It is true that most do not give enough detail on how they are obtaining such high overclocks... But I wouldnt start to call people cheating :) Some might, and I have seen scores.. But if the highest score was 15k and someone scores 17k with similar hardware.. You know something is fishie!!!
I know you can break 15k.. Give it another shot... Also dont install DX9.0 install DX 8.1 :)
There are things you can do that will easily raise your score without overclocking harder...
Someone needs to modivate people to benchmark and overclock for a higher score!

Done :)
Congrats Saffire, nice score, does my soul good to see more and more AMDs hitting 20k!;)
Nice job Saffire! 20K is no small feat! :D
Now, share the wealth, what's this CF you talk about?;) :D
Thx :) Now I just gotta up the fsb somehow...although my ram doesn't seem to like anything over 210 in DC, should I try it in single/take out one stick?
THe AMD platform doesn't seem to benefit as much as the P4 when running dual channel so if you can get the FSB a lot higher in single channel, you may get better performance. I guess you'll have to try! :)
Aha, another question: how do you change the LOD thing with Riva/Rage3d? Couldn't find it on either. How much does that help?

I use '03 basically to tell the difference between Drivers. That's about it.Quote:
