Hey guys, if you could shed a little light on whats going on here.

 

System Specs:

Evga X58 E759 (air)

Intel Xeon 3570 (cold air Mehaharlem) 4.7ghz HT on

HIS 5970 (cold air) 825/1127

 

Display Driver on HIS disk w/out CCC and using Afterburner to OC. WinXP SP3. No LOD or any other tweaks.

 

Here was my progression of benchmarks:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I see that the scores are much higher than everyone elses on a per clock basis but it continues to scale upwards with each increase of my clocks and is repeatable to the upteenth time. So is this a common type of bug? If you could explain in detail for my noob4life sake I'd appreciate it. thx.

I'm afraid the only scores that don't seem to be bugged are the 118k and 123k. The 92k seems bugged low. The jumps are very unnatural from 92 to 118, 200 FPS more in the last 3 game tests which are gpu bound with no increase in gpu clocks. Then once again they're absurdly high from 123k to 141k, esp with such minimal increases in clock speed. The 141 is already bugged, then the 164 is even more badly bugged (GT3 extremely bugged high in that one)

 

Proper score around your speeds should be like this one, but quite a bit lower since your card clocks are much lower.

 

Could mean a part of your system is unstable, maybe the CPU. Switching to a newer OS (Vista/7) and setting affinities could alleviate it.

Thx G-man, still tryin to figure what the dealio is. Might have to rma for scoring too high.

K, ran it stock in win 7 32 and then overclocked it to the same clocks as xp 32 sp3

 

here is what I get:

 

OC

Do you reboot after you switch on CF?

Unreal GT3 - there can`t be such FPS

CCC isn't installed, just the display driver. Never did anything having to do with enabling cf, just ran Afterburner for the OC. I reboot several times to check to see what the problem is but this is repeatable as much as needed, back to back benches etc.

CF can be enabled with CCC?

your 5970 is very hot. Right?

Well, I got an a/c unit blowing on it but yah, it runs pretty hot normally.

 

Gonna try some other benches to see if its out of line as well. Might wanna keep an eye out for other submissions with similar behaviors. Lemme know if you guys want me to try something else.

CF can be enabled with CCC?

 

This is my first ATI dual GPU card. When I had two 5970's installed I used the CCC control panel to enable x-fire. Is that what you're talkin bout willis?

ATI GPU is very strange. If your gpu is getting hoter and hoter, the bug run score will happen sometimes. It can be repeatable for sure.

I had to drop clock because of this Warm Hawaii weather

but I dunno, looking at the results on the bot, it seems a bit higher than other at higher clocks in 3D06, no? still a bug?

Nah, that looks right. I think Andre's might be right, it's easy to get goofy scores in 03 when ATi cards are running too hot.

Well, the load temps while having an a/c unit blow across are around 30c with voltage set to 1070mv.

 

I'm gonna see how far I can take this bug later. Maybe crack 200k?

That has already been done - non bugged
