what are the led colours near the dvi's?if i remember right there shoud be a green and a blue one once you boot...

That's great to hear,i was wondering why we need the mod but thanks for clearing it out... This card should be a very interesting choice...

whre can we get the tool Peter? Thanks for sharing

he is using areca and the run was at 6260Mhz as you can see at the amdoverdrive tab... cpu-z is only reporting the correct multi but not fsb...

I've managed 1200+ VS on single core Sempron but that was on a LSI controller with just 4 M4's...No way for me to go there with onboard controller...I think the catch is that on Vista that single core utilazitation is different from 7 AFAIK that's why you can see 1000 on the onboard controller...Maybe i will retry that theory in the coming days...

So every sata2 drive is limited to 300mb/s and sata3 to 600mb/s ? double them for raid0 with two of each? then about 99.5% of the pcmark runs should be deleted...

850 for aircooled 4870 is indeed a killer!!!

No physics problem just he 1.0.3 vs 1.0.1 3Dmark11 physics drop down...

imho the thing with this benchmark is you can achieve give or take the same result either by changing files,codecs tmp files at the pcmark folder OR changing the way your os sees them... text edit:change temp rtf file (not good) OR change riched library to give always 0 in any search it does (you tell me),the result would be the almost same... TW: it's all about flash desktop and DWM settings WBR:most know some good IE settings.What if i write a custom css and intergrate it to IE (which has this function in the settings) and just let it render any html that has text and only text... 200+pages here i come... the same can be achieved with just replacing the temp file... Video and Audio:change the dll in the pcmark file and bypass the submission error in futeremark OR write a script and everytime the computer tries to use vorbis.dll let's say to bypass it and use an other one in system32 folder.Again the result will just be a little bit worse... What about Memory latency.Memory pool quota when running the latency test is VERRRRRRYYYY hard to get... but doable... just tell the os when it runs latency test just low the momory pool quota and let it take most of the random 16mb out of cpu's cache and let it fly...OR use a method that i don't want to talk about and give you an error in futuremark... All above is the gray area of pcmark in my eyes...I think the benchmark has evolved a lot,which is good because more and more people have become interested in it, but has reached a level that it cannot be controlled... I mean why keep the xp startup limit then,or keep the bugged amd drivers... that's just me though... PS sorry for my bad English

The Greeks know all the tweaks waaaaaay before but were unsure about the validity of those tweaks... that's why you have not seen any result from them... http://www.3dmark.com/pcm05/3173319 here is one (whitout even codec replacement and proper validation...)

Oh it's usable for sure,no problems there as before....

At first it seems right but down the page i get some weird bug...

If Greek customs saw the words:Sniper,extreme,assasin,Big bang,military class,and ballistix in one package they would have called twe SWAT team for sure...

OMG this reminds me of this....ln2 was comming of my nose...i feel such a noob...

delete directcpl.dll completely maybe?

Try running the aquamark.exe at real time priority... You can do so by either using a prog such as priffinity or by just selecting so by task manager after you have lauched aquamark from the wrapper...This gave me the same result when i was using the normal or the wrapper edition of aquamark...

Great job man,nicelly tuned run!!!

Great score man!!!

dwse pono,well done mate...

also d3d overider will just give you about +2k score at your settings...

Great job Kostas!!!

There were shipping some A3 cores ACS3 at their near end far as i know... + i think this A2-A3 gpu-z report is just bios controled... i will try to dig something up at techpowerup's bioses to prove my point...

Thanks Steve,when i get my card back i have to give this an other chance... i did 43k but xpstartup was 232... next time...

I know... so easy to bench this cpu just need to fine tune the motherboard...

great job as always!!! pink towel ftw!!!
