Christian Ney Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Don't want to retry. Have I the worst Aquamark score ? Quote
Alriin Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 lol. No Svalid Screenshot. Bench it again! :-) P.S.: Pic with Camera? Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Yes after downclocking mem and core cause she was always crashing at the really end of the bench even @ stock Quote
DrSwizz Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Nice! What drivers are you using for that card? I am currently benching a Rage Pro Turbo myself, but so far aquamark has always crashed after 5-6 hours :-( Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) @ DrSwizz, Impossible to run 3DMark01, and Aquamark always crashing after 16 hours for me that why I have downclocked it, the drivers were : for WindowsXP : http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/legacy-xp.aspx Select the 2nd one ( Rage Pro ). Edited July 25, 2010 by Christian Ney crsahing => crashing Quote

Yes, it is too bad 3dmark01 requires soo much video memory. :-/ Thank for the link. I am currently using those drivers too. I asked about it because I was figuring that it might be the drivers that was causing the crashes and I have looked in vain for a slightly newer/older versions of the drivers. Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Yes I have searched it too, cause it's the driver who is crashing at about 5050 fps of the bench, it's beaucause the card is not as powerful, she doesn't support the explosion . That why I have underclocked it, doing so she is as unpowerful that the explosion is not calculated, so she can reach the end of the bench Quote

That why I have underclocked it, doing so she is as unpowerful that the explosion is not calculated, so she can reach the end of the bench Hmm... So the big explosion at the end of the benchmark is removed when the card is being clocked lower? When I look at windows/aquamark behaves when the big explosion is being rendered it seems that the driver is doing just fine, but since the driver is so busy with the explosion Windows thinks that the driver has crashed and therefore kills/restarts the driver. Is is possible to somehow increase the timeout before windows kills/restarts the driver? Edit: I did some googling and found this: http://technet.microsoft.com/sv-se/library/cc976062(en-us).aspx I have set the value to 65536 on my rig now, I think that should be enough ;-) I wonder if changing this value is enough, though. Could there be other timers in the kernel that could cause problems? Edited July 26, 2010 by DrSwizz Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 I don't know, but good job, I am not as good in tweaking. Mine was working, maybe yours too. Try and see . Yes the big explosing seems to be removed, beacause after downclocking the card, I was watching the end of the bench, and I haven't seen any explosion like before. Quote
BenchZowner Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I'm sorry to interrupt you guys, but how the Rage Pro Turbo isn't a DirectX 9 graphics card. How did you ran AquaMark 3 with it ? And wtf is that screenshot, that's barely proof. Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 @ BenchZowner, FYI : Aquamark is not only a DirectX 9 bench ( can work @ DX 8 even DX 7 ). And Turrican said for him the screenshot is OK Quote
DrSwizz Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Unfortunately increasing the timeout value didn't help much. :-( The explosion seemed to progress a little further, but windows still killed the driver. I guess the upper limit for the timeout must be something lower than 65536. I thinking of giving up on this card and aquamark now. Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 You have to try over and over , for me it took 2 weeks :D. As I have 3 Bench System it was OK Quote
DrSwizz Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 You have to try over and over , for me it took 2 weeks :D. As I have 3 Bench System it was OK I tried 7-8 times with more or less the same result. I suppose I could try harder to find a different version of the drivers or I could disable direct draw acceleration entirely. And I have second Rage Pro Turbo card that I also could try. I suppose I more recent version of directx wouldn't hurt either. Quote
GENiEBEN Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Had a Rage XL bench plan for this week, guess ill cancel that out...this thing is slow damn, even Savage8 looks faster. Quote
hikkoo Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 It takes 20 hours and 36 mins freakinnn hell! 20!, deserve extra medal for longest run!....admire ya determination lol go for 10 mark , would that be 60? Quote
Christian Ney Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 freakinnn hell! 20!, deserve extra medal for longest run!....admire ya determination lol go for 10 mark , would that be 60? I will try it ( with a pentium downclocked to 20 mhz ) and also dowclocked card and MipMap - 3, full aliasing, anisotropy. 10 Mark would be : 0.01 fps => 5200 / 0.01 => 520000 / 60 /60 => 144 hours Next Challenge :D:D:D:D Quote
hikkoo Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 144 + maybe 10 attempts to be successful = about 1440 hrs....WOOW!!!!!!!! be careful dont go benchy insane watching all that:).....watched 25 mins aquamark to finish on me EeePC was painful ..... Goodluck doing it with first try.......... Quote

Goodluck doing it with first try.......... I can bench other things at the same time, I have got 3 bench systems ;) And I am not as GEEK(-GEEK +stupid) to watch the full bench. Quote
hikkoo Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 was joking... lol so that makes me the stupid benchy Geek Quote
Northwood-3400 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Hi there! I've tried my ATI Rage Pro two times and it always crashes about 5045 frame. I didn't find any software to downclock it or even to detect the clock.(should be 75/75). Runnin' with Pentium III@840MHz 512MB SDR140 with those ATI driver in WinXP_SP3 As I see nobody else got the 2nd result... Quote
Christian Ney Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Yeah I had the score after 11 run. Try Powerstrip to downclock Quote
