Ok got my 2.8 out and have started playing with it a little. It's running very good at a 255 fsb (3.57 Ghz) So far I have scored 21338 with her. I really don't know how high its gonna go, but I am feeling it's gonna be good. I haven't had to raise the Vcore yet and it's still at the stock 1.525. I'll keep you posted:D
Uh oh Ranger is hot on my heels!!!!
260 fsb = 21639 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6915565
The race is on!! :eek:Quote:
ACK!
:)
Great score ranger!!! Keep it coming... You can do 22K!! I am working on 22k too as we speak :)
ROFL, I still beat you in nature with my 18839 score. :DQuote:
We both know that doesnt mean a thing :)Quote:

You need the power to back it up for the other tests :) Otherwise your score would still be low :D
Of course it means "a thing" - if my nature score (which is almost entirely video card dependent) is higher than his when my score is 3k less, that means I'd DEVOUR him if I had his CPU. :DQuote:

Of course... Who says I don't? :D
That is true... Yes but you DONT :DQuote:

hehehe, But like I said you can have a nature score of 160fps (massive overclocked card) but a slow processor.. and not score anything amazing :)
How about less talk from you and more action? :D
Hey, you know I'm paralyzed until Monday. :( :mad: Stop taunting me. :(Quote:

welcome to my world. i have a nature score of 155, but my score isn't all that amazing. if only i could afford an Intel... nah, i like AMD. i'm ordering a 1700+ and some more ram, hopefully i can be the "second" AMD rig at 20500.Quote:

nice, you gained 300 marks with 5fsb increase. If you can get 270fsb, you should get like 22.2k marks :) isnt your car chase high details a few fps low? lostlilchild got that on 3.5GHz. heres a tip: as soon as windows finishes loading, run all the tests together starting at car chase. If I start other tests first or rerun car chase the fps keeps droping. also when running car chase, the fps can vary by 1.5 I do a complete run, save then reboot and run again and I could score as much as 50 marks different next time. first max out ur fsb then run 3dmark like 5 times, save the results each time then publish the highest one :)
I think he might know what he is doing :D
Unless you get a fantastic OCer, a 1700 won't get you any more points - the Barton's extra cache is worth about 200mhz over a Tbred, so you'll need to get the 1700+ to 2.65 to just break even. ;)Quote:

Tweak and push it further! Let's see you beat vertices, 800 points to go! :DQuote:
Edit: Mind you, I'm sure vertices has some faster, unpublished runs. :)
i need another CPU so i can push one of them. i'm afraid to go for more than 2.2v on my 2500+, but i think for the $47 price, i wouldn't mind frying a 1700+ or two. just out of curiosity, what speed can you get your 1700+ to on 2.2v? or are you not saying that either?Quote:

Very nice... But I guess TB was wrong about 270FSB = 22.2k *lol*Quote:
Good luck on 22k... What kind of voltages and video clock speeds?
I didn't have time to tweak with it (so I might be able to do a few dozen mhz more), but I could do 2.8 stable (msn :) + prime95 for 10 minutes, no errors).Quote:

10 minutes???? that is no stability test :D :D
10 hours = better :D
EDIT: I added a message on the Extreme 3DMark Team... :)
ok, so if i can get 2.7ghz i'll gain. i can run my 2500+ on 2.2v and have 58 C after a run at 3dmark. it doesn't help me get any more Mhz though, 2.5ghz is just too much for it.
All this is very exciting :) Makes me wanna actually try doin this ;) Ran 3dmark once for fun and got like 18.5k, but thats with moderate oc on cpu and vid card.
But for some odd reason just about any fsb over 200 gives me memtest errors on test 5 (last few percent, so processor cache?) so haven't tried
ok, i just put ramsinks and a crystal orb on my ATI Xpert98. tomorrow should bring a new card record! the current record on futuremark is only 509... shouldn't be too hard to surpass.
Drum roll please....................... 22086 with the fsb at 270:D

ROFL, I ran 3dmark on one of those and got 734. Don't expect to break 1k. :DQuote:
