AMD’s Virtual Overclocking Event hosted by Overclock3D

[Pyr0]

@ Bungral, it looks like he's using "GPUTool Community Technology Preview 1"

@jabski, Very nice m8. I now know I have no chance of winning, lol.

The 4870X2 I recieved won't clock up to anywhere near that. My own card will do 850 on the core and has passed 06 at 860 in the past

How much voltage did you need to get the NB over 2800?

I haven't managed to POST with CPU at stock and a 2800NB

Also, I thought we weren't allowed to use LOD tweaks and the like?

I haven't bothered trying to get max scores in 3DMark06 yet. I mentioned in a previous post I was going to start testing the chipset bus speeds, so I began by setting HT and NB to 2000 while leaving the CPU, Mem and GFX at stock speeds:

Super PI 1M & 32M



3DMark 01, 03, 05, 06 & Vantage



PCMark 05



POV-Ray 3.7 Beta

Single Core



Multithreaded



WinRAR 3.9 beta4



Everest CacheMem



CineBench10 x64



AutoGK DVD to XviD conversion.



Then while leaving the HT at 2000, increasing the NB to 2200:

Super PI 1M & 32M



3DMark 01, 03, 05, 06 & Vantage



PCMark 05



POV-Ray 3.7 Beta

Single Core



Multithreaded



WinRAR 3.9 beta4



Everest CacheMem



CineBench10 x64



AutoGK DVD to XviD conversion.



2400NB

Super PI 1M & 32M



3DMark 01, 03, 05, 06 & Vantage



PCMark 05



POV-Ray 3.7 Beta

Single Core



Multithreaded



WinRAR 3.9 beta4



Everest CacheMem



CineBench10



AutoGK DVD to XviD conversion.



2600NB

Super PI 1M & 32M



3DMark 01, 03, 05, 06 & Vantage





PCMark 05



POV-Ray 3.7 Beta

Single Core



Multithreaded



WinRAR 3.9 beta4



Everest CacheMem



CineBench10 x64



AutoGK DVD to XviD conversion.



As you can see, some applications show more improvement than others, but considering everything else is still at stock speeds, any increase is welcomed.

Next comes some HT testing and then FSB. But from some preliminary HT testing, the gains (if any) are usually minimal.

[edit] hmmm, not sure wtf imageshack is doing with the thumbnails, but the main pics still show *shrug*

hi pyro. No lod tweaks were used. setlod wont work.

 

[PeterStoba]

LOD tweaks bring very little, if any benefit on newer cards anyway

 

[Bungral]

Cheers for that Peter.. That tool looks very good although still buggy for me. Will at least let me get above CCC limits quite easily. Always had problems trying to do it with RivaTuner.

 

[BustaH]

this is my best so far

your cpu looks better than mine so far jabs, not a bad score that mate.

 

[jabski]

what is your best score so far ?

 

[BustaH]

A little under what you have in your screen, I will upload some screens later today.

 

[jabski]

abit of 03 and 05 action

3DM03 = 83843

3DM05 = 27760

 

[BustaH]

super pi 1m

super pi 32m [no tweaks]

wprime 32m

wprime 1024

3dmark 01

3dmark 03

3dmark 05

gotta be honest, im struggling with this set up. cpu and gpu are on the limit here for me. just installing the latest bios and looking at getting the card overclocking higher.

nb speeds are quite bad for me, I just get locks ups when pushing it higher even with extra voltage, could be mem controller, hopefully the new bios will help.

 

[BustaH]

looking a little better with newer bios, 1st test.

no mad volts needed either

:yumyum:

Better..

 

[BustaH]

Be afraid........be very afraid........

3d05= 28623

3d03= 83894

 

[jabski]

nice scores mate.

Cant see gpu core speed in the 06 score thou

 

[tinytomlogan]

Wooot all the benches are great but finaly some pukka clocking busta!

Lets see if the other boys can do any better!

 

[themcman1]

Have a whole day working away today at it by the looks of it.

Need to catch up.

[BustaH]

you can get the latest bios from asus website, nice one on your gpu btw mine is on the limit at 821/930 holding my scores back somewhat, I might whip the cooler off and re apply t i m reseat etc.

If you can get 3.9 on the cpu and run 06 you should be in with a shout with your gpu at those clocks.

 

[themcman1]

I'm pretty sure theres some more in the GPU but at the moment it's the CPU which is giving me problems.
