That can't be right... I'm only 10MHz on the core higher and same CPU overclock and FSB and everything...Quote:

Score is now 17310. Same settings as previous. I love dual channel RAM!

More than a full 1000 points higher...:confused:
I don't know?? I think this is a really good video card. I just got lucky. I have benched this system atleast 50 times in the last month and get pretty consistant scores so I know this isn't a fluke. Maybe your card being a NP is why your score is lower. If you look at my OC I am running my card at almost 9800 pro core and memory speeds. Rage3D won't even let me adjust my core anymore. I have the slider maxed out.
Nice scores! All Intel up top baby!:D Congrats on the Top5 spot.Quote:

BTW If you go to the FAQ for RageTweak over at rage3d.com you will see how to edit your registry to allow higher clocks.;)
Thanks :D I will check that FAQ out. I think I'm done benching this card, but i may use that tweak for the 9800.
Were you talking to me? Cause I was quoting someone else saying I got a much higher score when our settings were almost the same...:p ;)Quote:

Hey Ranger, I noticed you've got QUITE the OC on your video card - are you sure that's not a typo? After all, the world record for ATI cards' memory is 418, and you claim 434 on a 9700 Pro! :confused:
He just reversed them. Normally you would see core/mem but he listed them as mem/core.Quote:

In that case, that's quite the core OC he's got there, considering it's a 9700 Pro!Quote:

Yeah it's pretty good.
I had my 9700pro up to 474 core with water/pelt cooling and a Vgpu mod.:)
Yeah, well I had my 9800 Pro up to 478 core and 405mem on (very crappy) AIR (30 more mem that you! :p). :cool:Quote:

I've since had my 9800pro up to 390 mem.:) I put that volt mod on the mem back on. ;)
Pfft. Then 15 more. :pQuote:

Volt mod's back on? After all the vows to never volt mod again... Man, I'm shocked. :eek: ;)
Vert, what happened to your vows not to mod your card any further? :p And here I am thinking I am the one with the bad memory!:p :D Whatever lights your bulb, dude!:p Just be careful not to push it too far this time.;) :)
Wow...that does suck. Do you think it's my video card? I've always been having lower marks than most people even with my old mobo, cpu, and ramQuote:

EDIT: I used the software o/c instead of manual though. o/c'd to 30%

AHHHHH.. I know...it's a sickness...really.
I never actually removed the mod I just snipped the wire for it. I couldn't help myself as all it took was 30 seconds with the soldering iron to reenable it. I'm not pumping hardly anything through it though. I just bumped it up to 3.00 volts.
I seriously have a sickness.
Edited: I have the same sickness and there is no known care for it.:DQuote:

I'd try a manual o/c. Who knows what timings and such the BIOS sets it at. I'm running DDR416 CAS2-3-3-7. For all you know, you could be running the DDR266 divider and 3-4-4-8...Quote:

No benchs from me for a bit. :(
Vapochill took a huge crap, took out the MB and processor with it. :(
The FX5900 Ultra started locking up everywere, in almost any game at almost any core and memory speed exept underclocing by a ton, funny thing was it ran perfect at 1980x1440 32bit but not at any other resolution. I sent the FX back for a refund. Back up card is a GF4Ti4600.
Asetek is on holiday for the next week or more so no support at all.
Got the MB replacement on the way and a nice back up xp1700, but it`s just not going to be the same without the vapo and fx5900. :(
My memory is 353 and core is 432. I have seen people post them both ways and I just went with the memory/core style. My bad :eek:Quote:

Oh man!:eek: Sorry to hear about this, that's why I don't go for exotic cooling. It's too darn scary! Rukee, you have my sympathies :(Quote:

Hey mikeysg, I got and mounted the vid card cooler from 1coolpc.com (and left the IceBerq 4 on too). The one with the 80mm fan. It perfectly covers the front and back of the vid card and my NB. Took 10c off the vid card temp under max load -- pretty happy with it. At idle with room temp 24c: CPU 22, case 25c, GPU 45c. Max load CPU 44c, GPU 61c. Now if I can just squeeze a little more FSB out of my CPU/memory I can get to 19k.
Sweet!;) But I wanna see pics (if ya can) :p . FYI, I've mounted a 0.58A 120mm case fan within my case to actively cool my 9700Pro with the passive Zalman hs. ;) My 9700P used to choke at about 350-355mhz core (with stock cooling), now I'm able to hit 380mhz and I haven't topped out yet (the fan made quite a difference!) ;) :cool: . That's why I feel the Zalman ZM80C-HP is the best solution to getting higher core for my 9800Pro. ;) Trouble is, it's not available in my neck of the wood yet.:(Quote:

Well, still haven't got my good cam back yet -- I guess it needed major surgery :D I'll try a pic with my web cam -- sure to be bad :DQuote:

Edit: check PM too please.
Hope this works. Anyway, if it does, you can see the 90mm on top of the SLK-900, the NB HS, then the vid card with the 80mm fan. You can barely make out the bracket but it fastens to 2 of the PCI card screws.

Edit: You can't see it but the IceBerq 4 is installed on the vid card too (you can make out the faint blue light from the led fan on it). thx colossus for hosting.
