Okay so this is wierd.

Have you guys that bench 290X subzero seen this before?

 

Almost 9000 point per 25 mhz gpu clock seems legit

 

Either 3dmark03 makes bugged score or AMD have made an 03 monster!

Also wait to confirm if this is legit^^ Same here on 290X

Yes , 03 is giving bugged High scores with R9 290x and R9 290 VGAs. I have not posted my scores because I do know they are all bugged high runs black screens , like the HD5870 days for those guys that remember back in the day HD5870 was giving the exact same bugged High scores while black screen , same with this R9 290x. Only happens in 3DMark03 I can confirm as per my own long testing. Rasmuss66 that score you posted for 03 points is bugged high score . Dreaded black screen and 03 does not play well.

Rasmus66 this is your bugged high score- http://hwbot.org/submission/2452728_rasmus66_3dmark03_radeon_r9_290x_226594_marks

 

Please take proper action and delete this bugged score , It is NOT legit , it is a bugged high score.

look at the GTs, they are all over the place! They are obviously bugged if you are seeing 2000FPS on one run and 2600 on another

Score is deleted now.

+1 agree 100% , absolutely correct Dinos my friend, same thing has been happening to me , GTs are all bugged high and all over the place from run to run , hence why I have not posted any 03 scores on R9 290X until they get a proper driver out and fix this calamity , AMD need to fixed this.

 

Thank you Rasmsus66 for taking down that bugged score , I know the feeling and frustrations as I share the same and I cannot post scores like this , you did the correct thin to do.

But how to fix this issue:)

sorry to hijack

but what ya think about unlock 290 in which category?

there is already scores in there.

http://hwbot.org/submission/2452417_beard_unigine_heaven___xtreme_preset_radeon_r9_290_3283.94_dx11_marks

If you unlock a 290 to a 290X you have to submit it to the 290X category

If you unlock a 290 to a 290X you have to submit it to the 290X category

 

Rules regarding "hardware unlocking":

 

"It is allowed to unlock extra cores and cache if your processor allows that. Again, you do have to submit your result to the category of the original hardware."

 

This is the rule for CPUs, but as there is no other rule for GPUs specifically, this one must be valid also for video cards? Som, 290 unlocked to 290x -> sub as 290?

 

I guess this should be discussed internally... There should be a definitive answer to this question.

GTX465 that unlocks to 470 is still submitted as 465.

 

 

IMO, R9 290X drivers are a state. CF-X is a writeoff. The driver keeps dropping cards and takes AGES to install

Yep drivers are not the best but CF seems to work really good.

 

I had no problem at all with my heaven run and they do not black bench with two cards

Is there any solution for 3DM03 yet with r9 290X
