5870 + 10.7

if i click on "make public" nothing happens.

 

Driver stauts = unknown

Driver name und version is "empty".

[Turrican]

maybe the driver is too new and fm approved? did you try an older one?

[zoro]

Is LOD permitted?

[Lordred]

Whats up with the top 3 showing only 1,2 of 7 tests then all 7 in the orb?

[Massman]

Yes!

How do you mean?

 

Note that with 3DMark01, you can change the run order for better scores. So, you can tweak your clocks/lod for every subtest seperatelly.

[Lordred]

I was un-aware of the 3dmark allowing you to run them indevidually (call me Mr Noob) I was just looking at there verification image and noticed it would have only 1, or 2 tests completed, and that the Orb would have a different CPU frenquency then the image verification, so needless to say I became confused. I brought it up so some one would explain it to me

[Sil3ntSnip3a]

The difference in the two is located in the Nature subtest. The GTX275 will give you roughly 1250-1300FPS whereas the 4890 might only give a 1100FPS score, which is like a difference of 3000p overall. Now, the 4890 (or ati) is known to be better in the system benchmarks (cars and lobbies), so normally you can make up for that loss a bit.

 

The issue is that there might be a nature 'bug' with the Ph-2 just like there is with the Nehalem platform. Basically, the Core 2 Duo platform gives you a single GPU Nature of 1500FPS easily, whereas nehalem (even at high clocks) will have scaling issues past 1100-1150FPS. In this case, the 4890 is a better choice because of the better other subtests ... but I don't know if this is also the case for PH-2.

 

Hope this helps

 

this helps a ton! I really need to get to the point of finding these findings for myself. I guess the more you bench, the more you learn!

 

Thanks master massman!

[chew*]

Yes.

 

Newest C3 silicon of Deneb beats the crap out of TWKR anyway

 

hmm I wouldn't go that far but the one survivor I have left is obviously not TWKR 42.

First test for me:

My 1090 is out for RMA

Made the run w/ my 965
