/me hopes to regain the #1 AMD spot after his new fx5900 and xp2500 show up
I think someone who can get the puter to run faster then what it came out of the box at is doing the right thing! ;)
after all, anyone can run a box setup, it takes a talented tweaker to get the extra #`s out of it.
:( Sorry to hear your sad news ranger.:( I've got so much respect for you guys in our military. Everything you do for us, including being willing to pay the ultimate price so that others may live free, has got to be one of the most honorable things a person could do.Quote:

You know I forgot to tell you guys this. It's a little off topic, but here goes. Today was a pretty sad day for my unit here in Korea. I assume you guys saw the news about the C-12 crash over here. Sadly, those two pilots were from my unit. They were only one office down from mine. I have seen them everyday for a long time and now they are just gone. It really sucks:(

Well, it's just human nature. Of course we want everyone on the team and that's why we have the classes, so that people can compete in their own class.Quote:

It sorta makes a person think why make the effort at all, I will continue to post my scores and do what I can with what I have. I know that someone with a Topend system will get higher scores then me, but it seems to me that the lower classes don`t get noticed at all and as vertices said in another thread anything below 20K don`t matter any more. I just had to let off some steam. As I said I will continue to post my scores even though its seems they don`t mean anything.
It's just human nature though to gravitate to the high scores. People get excited over seeing the newest and fastest and how it performs. It's more difficult getting people worked up over something they have seen for a while.
It's not that under 20K doesn't matter, it's just that people don't get as excited about it.
Also not everyone in the other classes even really competes that much and discusses their competition. I can't really change that. I just offer the invitation to everyone to join and hope that competition forms. I have no way to force it.:)
Hey... I get excited about my <20K scores...:mad: ;)
I never said people DON'T get excited about them, just less excited.:)Quote:

The more competition we can get at different levels the better. I just can't force it to happen.:)
Its like boxing. Heavyweight vs middleweight. Heavyweight gets all the press. Middleweight is where the real action is ;)
True dat Saps!:DQuote:

why are you getting a new fx5900? the one you have seems super-fast. almost 7k in 03, that's a great video card.Quote:

T-Bird, I don`t think more ramsinks will help you out, I am using the 43.51 drivers, try them out and see if they will give you a boost.Quote:

I mean it does come with ramsinks, but if I use bigger sinks or something? I may also v mod the ram, but first im gonna work on the core. Lemmie give ya a tip, try rivatuner and set lodbias to 3, this will slightly increase the nature and dragothic fps, giving ya like another 100 marks but making the image quality bad however. also if you go from 170fsb to 210, you should gain 800 marks, easily putting ya at 15k. as for me, ill probably get to like 14500 after a v mod to teh core. I dont have dual channel
The thing is I am suppose to be a member of a team and if I and anyone one else on this team is not reconinized for our efforts because we are not top dogs, it sorta makes me wonder if I`m even regarded as a member. This is suppose to be a team effort not a place for people who just because of the fact that they have enought money to buy a better rig then mine to show them off. Like I said this has been on my mind for a while now and I just had to say something about it.Quote:

Well, I don't think I, for one, should be the target of your hostility, as (as I have said many times) it took me 6 years to save up for my rig, so I am not just throwing money around. :pQuote:

What hostility, just because you have a good rig you think I`m jumping on you or that I`m in someway jealous of you having a good rig, I`m not. I encourage and help everyone who wants to get better score. How would you feel if you were a member of a team and no matter what you did and how much effort you put forth you were never reconized for it.Quote:

Well, that's exactly what I'm saying - until I came across this 9800 Pro (free upgrade), I was in that exact position. Therefore, I know what it feels like and I empathize with you.Quote:

I just think something is wrong and it orght to change, I believe a person should be reconized for what he achives, right along with everyone else. Edit to add a example: Take a high school wrestling team, they have differant weight classes and it takes the whole team to win not just the top heavyweight class and each class cheers the other on to win, because winning is a team effort.
Thanks, mikeysg, at lease there is a few people who know what team spirit is. I am going to try my best to get there.;)Quote:

I'm trying to get my nephew to join the team, like you lone, he's got a Ti4200 but a 128mb version (Gainward), BUT he's got the Abit NF7-S rev2.0 (no surprise here), and 2x256mb PC2100 :( , he simply refuses to humour me!:mad: Says he ain got time to indulge in a contest whereby, in his words : "..we've got to whip ours and compare to see who's bigger!" :o . The nerve! I almost smacked him at the back of the head for saying something that borders on blasphemy.:p :D
lonewolfroger...hey man...i'm here for ya. i've got myself a 4200 and right now, all the guys with the 4200's are MY competition!!! :D wish me luck! i'm off to the ocing now. i'm making a push for 15k!! i'm getting so excited...this is too much fun!!! :p :D
ranger2992, sorry to hear about those two guys from your unit. my heart goes out to you, all the guys in your unit, and especially the families. and just like vertices said, i feel so much gratitude for all you guys in the military do for this great country.
Thank you all for your kind words:DQuote:

dangit...i'm pissed off now. i expected much better results than i got. and i also expected to be able to publish my 3dmark results!!! :( oh well, such is life. i'm definitely going to have to do more work to hit 15k...i barely broke 14.1k (let alone 15). man...this sucks. and i definitely need way better cooling for my vid card. i just can't get as high of an oc on my vid card as before. still got my processor to 2525MHz...so that's not too bad. guess i'll just have to screw around some more...
How far can you o/c your Ti4200?
Cause 2500+MHz from a XP1700+ is wicked!:D
It probably didnt publish cause your CPU fluxed to much... So that means you need to back down on the overclock of the CPU... :(Quote:

What are your memory timings? I found that, when running 4-2-2-2, I had the same problem.Quote:

Just popped by to let everyone know that I'll be trying for higher score soon.;) I've spent the better part of the night mounting the Zalman ZM80C-HP and ZM-OP1,:D but the #$@% Blue Orb doesn't fit the NB! :mad: . Oh well, I remounted the Abit NB cooler BUT with AS III this time (hopefully, I'll be able to squeeze a couple of mhz outta my OC:o ) Prolly within 2 days' time for my new benchmark!;) :D Will post ASAP.;) Now, for the 'fun' part, reformat and installing the various drivers :( , such 'joy'!:( :p
Why doesn't the Blue Orb fit? Are there not pushpins, or do they not line up?Quote:
