BenchBros

We had a session here in Germany and after weeks of pretesting with Kurbel and SuicidePhoenix we found three very massive cards. We made no SLI scores, just single cards

sure? we compared some scores in the bot and we didnt found an advantage for GT but maybe we try it next time, 6200 MHz on GT thank you guys

Not really resoldered the core.... I gave the card to a company for prototype development with very good soldering equipment and they just warmed up the core with PCB-IR-underheat, made the BGA balls fluid from the top of the core and resolder the core again... and the card is fine. So there was no BGA reball or something like that.... Thanks for all the comments! Watch out the scores from SuicidePhoenix and Kurbel... they also have very very good cards, even better then this one, especially on memory...

You will see... nearly the same! Just wait for the resuls of SuicidePhoenix and Kurbel...

The core were resoldered and the card is working again! We benched this card on this session around 10 times... some cracks, some condensation.... but 10 times pot remount and warm up was possible. So soldering is very massive and better then on stock cards

Mem is maxed out We know, that mem scaling in heaven is very good, but even 1325 is not possible... We tried more and less voltage, several temperatur ranges, no chance

thanks, thats the good one from 3DMark03 some time ago, more luck than masses of pretesting

any FPS issues in GT3 ?

Yes, there is definitly an issue with 60 FPS limit in GT3... we just have to figure out why some benchers don't have this problem. So what are the differences between bugged and normal systems.

Thanks for information!

same Question about GT3, have you find the Trick or was there no problem in your case?

Nice!!!!

You also have the 60FPS limit in GT3

Great

I don't think PSU can limit FPS in that way, or can limit FPS in any way. Whether 1350 or 1450MHz... GT3 is always 60,02 frames. But PSU was AX1200... so more then enough power for singlecard.

Maybe its an driver issue... we have this problem from 1350-1450MHz... always 60 FPS in GT3. Looks like VSync or something (off course its disabled!) With 1450 GT3 must be around 72-73FPS. Other benchers have the same problem, like nacho_arrayo. Until now no practical solution

Have a look at your GT3 and compare it with other 1400-1450MHz scores... we have the same issue

Your GT3 is a bit low? Did you hit 6ßFPS limit?

You can sort the recommended benches by existing results of the user. In our case you will find 95% Intel results... so I think the first results will be Intel CPU. But when the algorithm calculates that a AMD result will bring very much points for Pro OC league, this result is the first entry under the "Whats next" link... It also must depend on the "I have this hardware" and "I have to buy this hardware"... I see, this algorithm will be very complicated I think the result of the link will be a result with a silver cup and the biggest point difference between silver and gold cup

Sorry about my concern, but I am unsettled about point calculation like never before. In the past the best score was good, also in team ranking. Now it is fair, prevents hardware sharing... so all is fine but very complicated. So I am looking for a page which collects all information about point calculation. Whether Pro OC, Power team, team... all rules, all calculation rules on one page. So when I want to know which score or which hardware will be the best for my team or my own profile, I can check this page and get the information I need. At moment I have to jump from forum post to forum post, because every new rule or improvement is explained in another thread. That is very confusing. A new idea is to create a "what I have to bench next" button You click the button and the system tells you, according to your preferred cooling method and league, which hardware/bench can give you the biggest amount on points.... just a idea, sure not easy to implement. So I click the button and the system will tell me, that we have to bench Singlecard Vantage with GTX580 and 990X on LN2, or as alternative Singlecard 06 with GTX580 and 990X... or somethign like that. Or it tells me, that I have to buy a 8800GT to improve my hardware points... something like that. A kind of OC buyer's guide So it is easy to make a plan for the next session BR Andi

Now you have a nice VGA.. show us some damage in the other benches... Looking forward for some nice results with your awesome CPU Good luck mate!

MSI BigBang Marshall Beta BIOS with Full Hyper Support! Version 1.2B2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16925401/E7670IMS.rar

6700+ MHz.... impressive... go also for AM3 record

Is there a summary how team points are calculated at the moment? I just found this thread with the voting... but I didn't know which alternative were choosen for the final rev4. BR Andi

Nice mate!!!
