DrSwizz - Radeon 7000 SDR ~ Radeon VE SDR @ 540/176MHz - 83 marks 3Dmark 2003

such a fucking good card 2 times my score

[DrSwizz]

Yes, it certainly is one amazing card!

 

When I first started overclocking it (after I had modded it) I started Ati-Tool and used the "find max core"-feature (over whatever it is called). The clock speed started at 50Mhz (I guess that is the default for 2D-mode). Ati-Tool slowly, but surely kept increasing the gpu core speed. When it reached 400MHz I thought "this can't be right, Ati-Tool must be broken". Eventually windows crashed somewhere above 540Mhz.

nice.

have you tried starting everest at that gpu-clock and look at the "sepcs" there?

[DrSwizz]

nice.

 

Thanks

Actually I am not that much familiar with everest (I have only used the memory/cache benchmark). I'll have to check what "sepcs" is. :-)

[Turrican]

it's when you start everest on the left side under "display" and "GPU".

[DrSwizz]

I cannot seem to find anything called "sepcs" in the GPU-section in Everest. It doesn't really matter though, as Everest was not capable of detecting the real clock speed for the GPU. It assumed the GPU was running at the same speed as the memory was.

look at this, sometimes Ati Tool went very very high, to the infinit

Wow! Almost twice my clockspeed!
