Congratulations dude! I'm still a proud member of 16k

tastyweat · Nov 12, 2003, 03:44 PM

What specs?

wertret · Nov 12, 2003, 03:55 PM

barton 2800 (200x11)/ 2x512mb ddr 333/ 9700pro (350/330)

tastyweat · Nov 12, 2003, 04:18 PM

I think that your ram is holding you back - but I still think that 16k is a little low - you should be getting high 16k/low 17k

Chaos · Nov 12, 2003, 04:21 PM

I wonder how my new AIW 9700 Pro will stand up

I will post my results once it arrives

You're right, i'll be doing some tweaking and possting the results later, i'm coming for you tasty

tastyweat · Nov 12, 2003, 04:36 PM

lol - you have a 9700pro - you would be able to beat me if only you had 400mhz ddr - also my latencies are at 7, 2, 2, 2.5 (normal latencies for this crucial ram are 8, 3, 3, 3)

wertret · Nov 12, 2003, 04:40 PM

Yeah but my lame kingston is wearing a full copper jacket so be aware lol

tastyweat · Nov 12, 2003, 04:50 PM

Still won't get 333 up to 428 like mine though :P

Nov 12, 2003, 05:47 PM

you know... i remember when 10K was a big deal... when people would gasp at a score like that. now it's no big deal...

Chaos · Nov 12, 2003, 06:41 PM

yup the 10k barrier was once a guarantee your card would play anything smooth as silk

tastyweat · Nov 12, 2003, 07:11 PM

O...M...F...G... I just managed to scrape a score of 19k - then - it gets back to the main screen - displays 19,006 and the bugger crashes on me!!! Argh - I gota get that again - I now know that 19k is within my reach!

I have my barton 2800 @ 220 x 11 (2420MHz) on 1.85 (or 1.825 - can't remember which)
Crucial DDR @ 440MHz (7, 2, 2, 2.5)
9700np @ 385/340

It was my 9700 that failed me - I don't think the stock HSF is good enough for 385 core

- I did sooo well!!!

tastyweat · Nov 12, 2003, 07:13 PM

Winbond hardware doctor is reading it as 1.84 - so I guess I set it to 1.85

Davidgt · Nov 12, 2003, 07:17 PM

here is my 17k

congrats on your score better luck posting it next time

tek · Nov 12, 2003, 07:50 PM

Great job tastyweat, and with a 9700np

kickass, and have you tried flashing it to 9700pro, I heard it increases the cards performance.

I can take my 9500 core to 385 with stock cooling

What are your cards scoring in 3DMark03 ?

Judas · Nov 13, 2003, 08:58 AM

..lol.... i feel terrible... i'm still in the 7-8K Range in 3Dmark2001se... and in 2000.... i STILL haven't broke past the 10K barrier......*sits down and cries*

That is a VERY low score for 2500 @ 3000 and 9600 - you should be getting nearer to 12k with those specs!!!

I get ~5600 3dmark03 marks (click on sig)

hey chaos.

just how much have you overclocked your card.that is a little surprising to see a 9500 beat a 9800pro.i think soon might change the cooler and overclock mine.

also next one will alte a few settings in the cp like turn off vsync etc.

Chaos · Nov 14, 2003, 08:40 AM

to hit that score I had my XP 2500+ @ 2700+ (12X166) 2000 MHz and the 9500np clocked to 387/303

Judas · Nov 14, 2003, 09:55 AM

...... i'm using a non pro 9600.......should explain everything as of why i'm not hitting passed that mark....
