Bad luck, but not better for me either. I have no score.

SS seems to not hold at all (losing 1 deg per second on the evap), otherwise I could run at 3.2-3.3 just on phase.

Also problems with boards, because several CPUs did not post in AN7 and when I hooked up the chiller in the last hour, windows wouldn't start.

 

Not a bad score though. And you win the competition as well :)

Congrats!

Congrats for the winner! Hope to see 20k from someone, but you scored really high.

We make all board mods - VDD, VMem and 3.3V PSU rail, but it didn't give us even 1MHz FSB. Anyway I wasn't expect 2nd place in stage 1 with Ti4200 and watercooling. Tweaks make a great boost in 01.

Did you get any boost from omega drivers?

Omega driver gives zero improvement... win2000 + driver 42.xx or 43.xx with 2900mhz and agp 8x are the best combination. I was the first that submit this bench with win2000...

agp 8x

Didn't get any additional marks for overclocking agp 4x to 88MHz. I think agp 8x is not necessary. Or you get some positive numbers?

Win2k is really a must. Few weeks ago I installed W2K and forget about XP. Used it only to define max clocks.

I have done 1-2 runs with ti 4200-8x vs ti 4600 and with same driver, same os, same frequency 8x gives a little boost.

Your ti 4200 isn't a very ti 4200... 4200-440-4600 are the same chip, you have a 4200 with 4600 pcb so it's a ti 4600 ;)

Thank you all for the kind comments . It helps ease the pain :D:D:D

 

It was a run made this morning (stopped benching at 4AM) , as i was a bit sad cause i lost my good CPU and didn't want to bench during the previous days.

 

Ivan , i agree . It was a stage with many problems . We lost one ti4600 & one ti4800 ... and one good 3.4Ghz 3D benchable XP-M . Wish i was living near you . I would repair your SS at no cost ... or maybe just one beer ! :D

 

As for the mods , Vdd didn't help at all . The 3.3v line was at 3.55V and helped raising a few Mhz .

 

Only thing i know about Omega drivers is that they didn't score lower than the original drivers . Not much of a difference ... maybe 50 points . It was more a kind of "going back in time" , when we were using these kind of drivers . :)

 

Thanks again all of you !

You are right ! Win2k is more efficient for 3dmark2001 with these platforms . I knew it before this competition started ! :D

Agp 8x scored a bit higher . 100-200 points max from what i remember.

I gained like ~200 points when going from 66 to 95MHz agp and it allowed slightly higher mem frequency for some reason.

This part about win2k however had I totaly missed, guess I have to try it out sometime :)

It's more than regular Ti4400, but less than Ti4600. Ti4600 clocks a little bit better in general, and has 2.8ns mems. It's really hard to make 750+ on 3.3ns, with 2.8 you can push mems to 800. My second (3.3ns) card fails at 700 for example.

I had all needed weapons:

Windows 2000, AGP freq at 99MHz, Ti 4600 that does 440/820 on LN2 (I think mem freq would help more than AGP 8x on other cards), an XP-M able to bench Pi 32M at 3.5GHz, a board that does at least 260MHz stable FSB. And I didn't even make a single score...

 

It is my fault, because due to lack of time I postponed this until the very end and it always happens like this.

 

The SS was refilled 2 times already without any luck. It was dropping temps very slowly. I left it idle with system turned off and the evap temp dropped to -55. As soon as I start the system temperature keeps rising, CPU temp too.

So I don't know...it's either clogged or lost gas again.
