Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 27, 2020 Crew Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Take your pick guys. I just googled these in Europe, US and Japan... at reasonable costs Candidates: nVIDIA GT 210 Nvidia GTS 450 GDDR5 Nvidia GTX 550 TI 1GB AMD Radeon 5770 AMD Radeon 6770 Nvidia GTX 950 I know both AMDs are based on the same core, we can combine these if needed Edited January 28, 2020 by Leeghoofd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Digg_de Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 will there be a limitation for hardware (platform) when we benching one of this cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GeorgeStorm Posted January 28, 2020 Members Share Posted January 28, 2020 Aim would be to choose benchmarks where the platform would have little to no effect hopefully allowing a range of platforms to be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know anything pre 3dm06 does but what about newer 3dmarks where cpu score is counted, any where we can specify just graphics score?

Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 28, 2020 Author Crew Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) GPU only possible benchies are: Unigene Basic, Vantage, 3D11 Entry & Performance, Firestrike, TimeSpy and TimeSpy Extreme Edited January 28, 2020 by Leeghoofd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickulty Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The 210 is slow enough that any bench would be GPU bound in a reasonable configuration, so it would be possible to use Aquamark or 3Dmark2001SE for example. Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 28, 2020 Author Crew Share Posted January 28, 2020 all depends on what GPU will be chosen… just listing possible options.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpatodonaldo Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 why not 3dmark2003 (with max cpu freq fixed)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do any of 03/05/06 with benchmate and cpu freq limited. Keep everyone honest I'm guessing @Leeghoofd will have another poll selecting benchies after this one closes so a gpu is decided upon.

Just make sure all the benches chosen will be heavily gpu bound. Therefore NOT including 03/05/06 ect. 7 hours ago, unityofsaints said: Yes let's use the alpha part of a beta app to "keep everyone honest" Do you have a better way to enforce a cpu freq limit?

Just pick a hardware and bench combo that doesn't scale with CPU MHz and make the comp unlimited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickulty Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Protip: The Powercolor 5770 PCS++ with the memory heatsinks on the back has a Volterra VT1165MF controller (not the PCS+ without the heatsinks, that's not volterra, techspot are clowns), documented to have excellent software voltage control. Full datasheet at https://www.rom.by/files/vt1165m.pdf - check page 20 for SVID codes to over 2V and the SMbus registers, hex edited sapphire trixx might do the job though. Have fun with the modding comp guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
