New Omegas are out. I've waiting for those since version .6542 had issues on my pc and made me use .6512.

thanks for the update, I'm actually using Radeon Omega Drivers 2.6.53 (Catalyst 5.7).

3280! You cheated, probably posting a score form a PC! lol. Nice, I need to figure out how to squeeze the extra points out.

Post your results on the Online Result Browser and publish it. Then give us the link... I want to see if the drivers were using will reproduce this problem I have.

That was on gateways default windows install with AV and everything running too. All I did was update to the omegas and use the included utility to OC to 400/225. Post a compare link so I can compare your score. Also, did you click on my score to compare it?

I think that the reason for your lower score is the Omega version. I also got a decrease in my 3DMark01 score when I installed them(latest Omega based on the Catalyst 5.7). I'll also ask you to check the system info in 3DMark and see how much video ram it says you have.

I don't think it's the Omegas because I was using the latest ones for my benchmarking. My score went up with them.

The one on that's on the link you posted is not the latest. They released a new version 3 days ago.

yours is 6542, there's the 6553 now.

The ones I posted were direct from the site today, Drivers 2.6.53 ... I don't think u were talking to me tho. Anyway I can post the score, something about my registration key being from Lithuania and I'm not Lithuanian and my IP was recorded. I have the excel file so here is the link to it (unrar it) http://mindaugas.us/3dmark03-overclock.rar. I also have a 7200RPM drive, don't I get extra points for that?

Yeah... If you have the time, install the latest one and check how much video ram 3DMark will say you have.

This is interesting: When I had the older AMD driver, Omegas 6512 and Hyperion 4.56 I got 1042 on 3DMark05

I upgraded to the latest AMD Driver, Omega 6553, Hyperion 5.00 and I got 1157

I downgraded Hyperion to 4.56 and kept the latest Omega and AMD drivers and I got 1182!!!! That's awesome considering I've only changed the drivers.

Sure.....make me download winrar.

I think I found why yours is lower though. I had the same problem. Go into the power properties and set it to Home/Office Desk. The reason is that even when plugged in, if you have it set to Portable/Laptop the CPU runs at 800MHz and throttles up as necessary. I think the CPU throttles down between each test and for some reason (maybe it takes a few seconds to go back up?) it drops the score a little. If you set it to Home/Office Desk it will constantly run at full speed. Once I set it to Home/Office Desk my score went up some. I may be totally wrong but it's worth a shot.

Yeah give it a shot. I just noticed in your file there it said it was clocked at 800MHz so I figured that was it.

With my cpu at stock 2.0GHz(yours is 2.2GHz), VPU at 400 and VRAM at 225, I got 2 points lower: 3278
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4148512

AMD Driver: 1.2.2.2
Hyperion: 4.56
Omega: 6553

I will post my score with the CPU at 2.2GHz tomorrow.

I pushed my CPU to 2300MHz and still can't get it. I screwed something up when I went to 2500MHz and it froze, now I cna't bump the DDR to 400 anymore. Highest score I can get now is 3180 <-- that's crap!

Do you guys have fast writes enabled on the video? If so do you know how I can enable it aside from reinstalling the video driver?

You're only getting 3180 @2300MHz with the GPU @434/235? Do you have everything in the display properties set to performance?

I have fast writes on, but I'm not sure how to enable it without reinstalling.

I know, its crazy. I think it fast writes. My DDR isn't at 400 tho. I may reinstall the video and see what happens. I'm gonna end up bringing it to BB to get the screen flicker fixed, ya I know they can't but its one more strike towards a 7510 hehe. That's in another post.

My fastwrite is off.
Instal the Hyperion 4-in-1 4.56 driver. I think that will help.
