Very nice cards Hopefully I'll make you some competition soon.

Thx,

 

Hehehe, always nice to see you bench.

 

Unfortunately it is hard to find good 4850 in 3dmark 2003, the bugg behavior is terrible.

 

I have two good 4890 and one was 2003 gt2/gt3 bugged.

 

The good one bugged too when i put it to chiller ==)))

 

All the best from me

Yes, half of my 4850s are bugged in 03 and my best 4850 is also bugged

I don't know what is the actual problem, but it doesn't seem to be a bios thing?

[poparamiro]

No, from what i can see in my tests, it is part related to temperature, part related to CPU (one 4890 is ok on one CPU, bugged on other), and who knows what.

 

I have cards with bugg on everything, cards bugged only on some HW used, cards bugged at some level of temp. HD 4850x2 whas bugged on water at 10c and became ok at -30c ==)))

 

S`hit cards from ATi, no surprise here.

I will now have to bin all my cards with Kaby, then will test on LN2 or maybe on chiller first.

But I have a lot of potentially good cards both nv and ati.

I have 4850s bugged on air and some 4890 bugged on cold.

 

This 4850X2 seems funny

[poparamiro]

Yes, test them again with kaby.
