585/715 8991

can't get it to run at 998 mhz. I thought I did.
Still has to figure it out.

Of course my ATI X700 128MB, which games quite decently, never hit 3000, even with mild OC'ing, so I guess anything over 8000 isn't tooo shabby.

sensesfusion: what are you talking about when you say 'with 998MHZ'? Are you talking about MEMORY FREQUENCY? Like our memory runs at 667Mhz or something? Or the FSB (front side bus)? If you're doing something to overclock ANY part OTHER than your graphics card BIOS, please share with us how you're doing it, because I haven't heard of anybody being able to o/c the processor/chipset/memory on these boards yet! Thanks.

Edit: Also, maybe you're right about the memory being important in 3dmarks, now...both you guys have 1GB and the other people on the board seem to have 2GB...anybody with a 2Ghz-2.16Ghz processor but with 1GB memory break 9000?

Sorry, I was talking about 998Mhz CPU. I want to test if CPU matters in 3dmarks05.

alright guys

i really think its the CPU

Sol, hammer, fire are all getting 9000+

T2500 people can get there and a little ore

T2400 people, looks like we cant only if we clock it right.


I need help to prove this guys, so i hope thats the case

The ram can be a big factor.

Oh, I see...so you're using something like Notebook Hardware Control to force the CPU to stay downclocked to ~1Ghz for the entire 3dmark run? That's pretty clever...but I think that DRASTIC of a lowering is REALLY going to affect the score; whereas the paltry ~33 Mhz difference between your CPU (1.83) and mine (2.16) would seem too small to make much difference...say, maybe 100-300 3dmarks or something...maybe 500 at the outside...but ~1000?

We still haven't had someone with the 2.16 CPU and only 1GB of RAM report over 9000, have we? If it is possible for this to happen, then we definitely know the CPU is at fault, I think...someone correct me if my logic is wrong, here. I know the new Intel chips (Yonah and Merom) are supposed to be more powerful clock-for-clock than the P4, but 33Mhz making THAT much difference in a primarily graphics-oriented app is pretty incredible...if that's really the case, I can't wait to get my hands on a Merom clocked up to 2.3 or something!

I almost can confirm that the cpu does have affect on 3dMarks05 score, but the difference between 2.16 and 1.83 is like 100 to 200 marks difference, which is nothing.

What's with all the 33 or 66 Mhz? Did i miss something?
The difference between 2.16Ghz and 1.83Ghz is 330Mhz.

Oh...heh...yes, I am an idiot...I was being too literal and simply subtracting the two, forgetting that the 1.83Ghz actually stands for 1830Mhz...lol...yeah, I guess 330Mhz is a bit more of a factor, then...

I used ATITools with my old ATI card. With this 7900GTX though it just says the core and mem are 0.00. I figure thats because it is mainly an ATI program and even though it supports NVIDIA I guess are cards are to new.

With all of that, do you just hit the scan artifacts button? In doing this do you think it works since it doesn't know anything about the card?

Have u had it find artifacts?

Thanks!

Of course it can scan artifacts. If you know how it works, then you know there is no reason why it can't scan regardless what card u use.

I see alot of you talking about those with the 2.0 CPUs not breaking 9000 with 1 gig of ram. I was sitting at about 9200 with the card at 559/726 if that helps. I am slowly going to bump the OC up higher when I get a chance, I am at 564/726 right now, and I have now added 2 gigs (I got next to no change just by adding the ram in 3dmark). I will take a run right now and post back my resluts

Well, up to 9357. Should be pretty easy to hit 9500, as I still have a long way to go with the OCing

Nice score I just stuck with 565/735... I enjoy overclocking but I like to keep it within a safety threshhold...At least until I get the time to take this rig apart & drop in some AS5 on the GPU/CPU.

Nah...we were talking about those with 1.86 CPU's, not 2.0Ghz...great scores, though...try clocking 600/700 and see what you get!
