PCMark05: Pixel Shader test?

[Stelaras]

Glad i could help .

I can't do still pixel shader, but I believe it's also 6850 limit Around 2800-2900 on pixel shader. I've seen that 5800 series are better.

Do you believe that a 5870 gives me much more than a 5850 flashed into 5870 ?

[Stelaras]

I haven't tried with 68X0 . Only 5870 & 6970 .

 

Did you try with other drivers also ?

 

Can you please write the scores you have with and without the tweaks ? I want to see the scaling .

1700-2000 without pixel shader tweaks

2500-2900 with pixel shader tweaks

1700-2000 without pixel shader tweaks

2500-2900 with pixel shader tweaks

It's ok for 68X0 on air.

I got 2621 fps with 6850 @ 910/1210 (not published) and 3960 fps with 6870@1250/1200: http://hwbot.org/submission/2121515_

6970 are better for pixel shader. Or highly clocked 5870.

Yes, 5870 are better than 5850 flashed into 5870.

Flashing 5850 into 5870 not helps to unlock more shaders.

More shaders - better result in pixel shader test.

Lod for PCM05 is different than for any Bench , setting lod in + area gives not that much of an boost than setting it into - area (-3 to -7). (only for Ati)

 

And S_A_V i gave Karl the info about how i got that virus scan score so high.

you've skill Thanks.

I've found a good business for ati 6950 . I've read that its shaders are unlockable. It could be a nice solution. Have somebody done it ?

Ok, I understand virus scan may depends on amount of memory used for write cache, not only raw storage performance. That's why I not report you score and not starting any thread about it. I listed it here only as example that not all scores are equal on subtests.

Yes it's possible. I use Sapphire Radeon 6950 2Gb based on reference design unlocked to 1536 shaders and it gives the same performance in pixel shader subtest as Radeon 6970.

 

Easiest way to unlock is flashing 6970 bios to 6950 but after that you can't raise voltage in any software (MSI Afterburner, Sapphire TriXX, etc.).

Better way is mod bios of your card with special PHP-script you can download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6yifeiyqcdk1pk1

 

1. Read your current bios with ATIWinflash to file original.bin

2. Place original.bin to same folder with unlocking script and run the script (run.bat). modded bios will be created in the same folder with name modded.bin

3. Flash modded bios (modded.bin) to your card with ATIWinflash

 

That may work with any 6950, including non-reference and 1gb models.

And after this you still can raise voltage with afterburner.

thank you really much ! I've already flashed my vga, but on non reference 2gb 6970 are unlockable also shaders.. good.

 

This business for me now is not still aviable. I have to work and not to bench for 1-2 week. I hope coming back more competitive with the right VGA
