Go for it man :D Maybe you can get #1
Now that wont happen... I am still on air cooling :) Stock ATI cooling too... So until I can vmod and do some more work on it... over 22k is out of the question :)
Well now I am upset! I had a nice clean run going and I tried a new program today to see if I can break 20k with a stock video card... And I heard people using Radeonator 2.0... Well that just killed my setup :(
Killed it how? Like fried hardware, or just messed up your O/S? I been thinking about trying Powerstrip, but after you said that I think I will stick with Rage3D
I used to only use RivaTuner to adjust my video card clocks... But yeah it didnt damage the hardware.. It just screwed up my DX settings and I am not sure how to get it back... I cannot even complete a single run at the setting I had... When before I completed 10 runs in a row. :(
So I am going to play around and then format if I cannot resolve it.. I did uninstall it but that wouldnt resolve any tweaks it would of implemented..
Maybe reinstall DX. That should fix anything that got out of whack
Ouch.... I've kept this rig pretty clean to this point so that if I do have to reformat, it's no biggy...:p
I have my own 3DMark's drive :D So If I do have to format it is not that big of a deal... Its just another hour or so out of my time which is annoying :DQuote:

Odd... Look at this BS score :(

Hmm... seems like Dragothic Low Detail for FUBAR'd..:p
Ok, I'm off to do some benching. I'm getting all caught up in this frenzy.;)

I guarantee you it will get deleted. some guy had 29k after cheating on an fx5600 a few days back, it is gone now :D no one will believe his 25k score, obviously :mad:
Since Radeonator screwed my setup.. I am testing different CATS now..
I am testing:
CAT 3.2
CAT 3.4
CAT 3.5
CAT 3.6
and
Omega 2.74 or whatnot...
So I will have a result which is better.. Also different DX versions
DX 8.1
DX 9.0
DX 9.0a
DX 9.0b
Incase anyone cares I will publish the results.. But it will be a stock vs stock compare.. I just got a base line of 177xx with my #2 setup 100% stock :)
Yep, I'm interested as I intend to go for a hi score myself as soon as I get the Blue Orb - you're freakin' thorough btw, you must have quite abit of time on your hand.;) :) Go for it dude!:D :p :DQuote:

I dont sleep that much so I do have some time in the very very late nights... I didnt even sleep last night :( I am not even tired... How sad :(
What the heck are you popping dude?:confused: I'll need what yer havin' fer my imminent benchies (as soon as I get the %$#@ Blue Orb!:mad: I'm also a insomniac but I DO get sleepy at 'round 3 in the morning. HeHe! That means another 3 hrs more to troll the net!:p :DQuote:

*lol*
Popping? Im not popping anything... I just drink a lot of pepsi I guess...
I dunno... I have always been able to stay awake for a few days without sleep... But when I do crash after that.. Boy have fun trying to wake me :D
As most of you know.. There is about a 100 points lose in 3DMark01 SE when you upgrade from DX 8.1 to DX 9.0x
Now I tested all the versions of DX9.0x, There is little difference between them.. I believe the score would fluxuate about 10 points from DX 9.0, DX 9.0a, DX 9.0b
So once you upgrade to DX 9.0, The difference in the versions is little when it comes to 2003 :)
System #2 at stock with 3DMark03 (original)
DX 9.0 - 5807
DX 9.0a - 5798
DX 9.0b - 5809
3DMark03 (version 3.3.0)
DX 9.0b - 5810
I would like to comment that the Omega drivers did rather well.. I didnt know they came with a bundle of software... Also 3DMark01 appeared a little darker then usual with the Omega drivers... So I dont know what is up with that :)
But they did much better then I thought they would... They did score better then some other ATI drivers.. I will show them later on.. Still working on the 2001se marks :)
I was also shocked that even with the updated 3DMark03 to version 3.3.0 (anti cheat) that the 9800Pro was not affected... Very strange! :D I guess I need to try an older version of Cats to see a difference...
LOL!:D I guess I'll be stocking up on pepsi/coke for my up-comong benchies.:p :D I'm curious to know if the difference in 3D marks between DX9.0b and 8.1 for 3DMark2k1, THAT would be interesting. Which Omega driver are you using BTW?:confused:Quote:

I am using the latest... I am checking the 2001SE scores between the DX9.0b vs. DX8.1
So far 8.1 is faster, by 100 points... I am just going up the CAT scale now to check if they are all that much of a difference...
I did notice that if you upgrade to DX 9.0b AND use 3DMark03 3.3.0 dont use CAT 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5... The score is over 75 points less then CAT 3.6!!!
Now for a 2003 difference that is pretty large for just a driver change :)
EDIT:
The version of Omega drivers I was using is 2.4.74a
Thanks for the heads up, C man.:) Really gotta hit the sack as the room's beginning to spin due to lack of sleep.:eek: Will check on your posts first thing in the morning.:D ;) Gotta remember to stock up on Pepsi!:p :DQuote:

Ranger I updated you. Nice score!:)
Everyone, Colossus is now 1 of the team managers joining me and Pyro. He will be helping out with the load of updating scores and keeping track of everyone.
So everyone from now on, please don't PM individual people for updates, just post them here and we will post back that it's updated.:)
I haven't had a chance to finish my review of the RAM yet. I was building a system for my friend today which turned out to be a DOG of an OCer.
2.4C won't go over 2.75ghz on stock cooling. ti4200 won't go over 270/540 without crashing. PSU is an Antec Trupower 430watt and all the rails look good. Using an Abit IS7-G.
I don't know. Kind of a disappointment.
Ouch that sounds like a tough sys...:eek:
Was your friend expecting a good OCer, or is he going to run everything at stock anyway?
He was hoping for like 2.8-3.0. Actually I just dropped it down to 2.66ghz cause it drops to desktop after about an hour of looping 3Dmark. I need it to be stable for him.
What a crap chip. It's from Costa Rica by the way.:(
IT seems the Costa are not doing to well... But some of their older chips were awesome!
I assume you did all the basics for overclocking? :) :D
