CharmedLover84 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Alright. No arguing, no fussing, no "this processor is better than that one" this thread is for one thing and one thing only. People want to see how an FX-60 handles an 8800GTX. And I'm delivering. Please don't litter this thread with arguements or gripes. First I ran a set at stock butt stock with my system running at the following settings: [b]Genie BIOS Settings:[/b] [color=red][SIZE="1"] FSB Bus Frequency............................. - 245 LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - 3.0 CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - 12.0 PCI eXpress Frequency......................... - 105Mhz CPU VID StartUp Value......................... - Auto CPU VID Control............................... - 1.475V CPU VID Special Control....................... - Auto LDT Voltage Control........................... - 1.3v Chip Set Voltage Control...................... - 1.52v DRAM Voltage Control.......................... - 2.87v[/color] [b]DRAM Configuration Settings:[/b] [color=red] DRAM Frequency Set............................ - 200=RAM/FSB:01/01 Command Per Clock (CPC)....................... - Enable CAS Latency Control (Tcl)..................... - 3 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd)..................... - 4 Min RAS# active time (Tras)................... - 8 Row precharge time (Trp)...................... - 3 Row Cycle time (Trc).......................... - 11 Bus Clocks Row refresh cyc time (Trfc)................... - 16 Bus Clocks Row to Row delay (Trrd)....................... - 02 Bus Clocks Write recovery time (Twr)..................... - 02 Bus Clocks Write to Read delay (Twtr).................... - 02 Bus Clocks Read to Write delay (Trwt).................... - 03 Bus Clocks Refresh Period (Tref)......................... - 3120 Cycles DRAM Bank Interleave.......................... - Enabled DQS Skew Control.............................. - Auto DQS Skew Value................................ - 0 DRAM Drive Strength........................... - Level 5 DRAM Data Drive Strength...................... - Level 4 (Reduce 0%) Max Async Latency............................. - 6.0ns DRAM Response Time............................ - Fastest Read Preamble Time............................ - 4.0ns IdleCycle Limit............................... - 128 Cycles Dynamic Counter............................... - Disable R/W Queue Bypass.............................. - 16 x Bypass Max.................................... - 04 x 32 Byte Granularity........................... - Disable(4 Bursts)[/SIZE][/color] With the video card at stock (575/1800), CPU @ 2.94GHz, RAM @ DDR490. The results: 3DMark01: 40122 :drool: --- 3DMark03: 30367 ----- 3DMark05: 15464 3DMark06: 9973 :eek: ----- AM3: 120828 ------ FEAR: 119FPS Avg. Then I decided to run some PC4800 tests. These are incomplete as I am having issues with those sticks right now (think I may end up having to RMA all four of them): Settings: [b]Genie BIOS Settings:[/b] [color=red] [SIZE="1"]FSB Bus Frequency............................. - 245 LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - 3.0 CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - 12.0 PCI eXpress Frequency......................... - 105Mhz CPU VID StartUp Value......................... - Auto CPU VID Control............................... - 1.475V CPU VID Special Control....................... - Auto LDT Voltage Control........................... - 1.20v Chip Set Voltage Control...................... - 1.52v DRAM Voltage Control.......................... - 2.87v[/color] [b]DRAM Configuration Settings:[/b] [color=red] DRAM Frequency Set............................ - 250=RAM/FSB:05/04 Command Per Clock (CPC)....................... - Enable CAS Latency Control (Tcl)..................... - 2.5 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd)..................... - 4 Min RAS# active time (Tras)................... - 10 Row precharge time (Trp)...................... - 4 Row Cycle time (Trc).......................... - 12 Bus Clocks Row refresh cyc time (Trfc)................... - 16 Bus Clocks Row to Row delay (Trrd)....................... - 03 Bus Clocks Write recovery time (Twr)..................... - 03 Bus Clocks Write to Read delay (Twtr).................... - 02 Bus Clocks Read to Write delay (Trwt).................... - 03 Bus Clocks Refresh Period (Tref)......................... - 3120 Cycles DRAM Bank Interleave.......................... - Enabled DQS Skew Control.............................. - Auto DQS Skew Value................................ - 0 DRAM Drive Strength........................... - Level 5 DRAM Data Drive Strength...................... - Level 4 Max Async Latency............................. - 6.0ns DRAM Response Time............................ - Fast Read Preamble Time............................ - 4.5ns IdleCycle Limit............................... - 128 Cycles Dynamic Counter............................... - Disable R/W Queue Bypass.............................. - 16 x Bypass Max.................................... - 04 x 32 Byte Granularity........................... - Disable(4 Bursts)[/SIZE] [/color] CPU @ 2.94GHz, RAM @ DDR588, GPU @ 600/1900 Results: 3DMark06: 10224 :eek: :drool: ---- 3DMark05: 15788 ----- FEAR: 122FPS Avg. And last but certainly not least, another that almost gave me a heartattack: AM3: 126469 ::goes to update her signature and let people view this thread already:: ADDED BY EDIT: Oh yeah, and if you get one of these sexy gals, I highly recommend rippin' the (ridiculously cheap) EVGA sticker off of the plastic, then unscrewing it and taking it off, and placing a better cooling system on it, if you're a cooling freak like me, 55C Idle is unacceptable to me with a Vantec Spectrum under the sucker she's idling at 45-46C now, and that's OCed or stock. Also, did a brief glimpse in Oblivion. Noticed two things, first, 8X AA is now available in the Oblivion menu, 2nd, it runs much better than either of my two previous setups for it did (1 7900 or 2), with the same settings I used to play at AT A HIGHER RESOLUTION . I'm going to be throughly enjoying every game I have maxed out for the next long while (FarCry never looked this sweet or ran this smooth at 1920x1200 before either).

Guest DaddyD302 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Nice score man. I could only get 118867, on AM3. Highest 3dmark06 for me was this at 3.1Ghz, since my system isn't stable, it doesn't count lol. I'm still waiting on my 2nd GTX, so I won't be benching till then, besides benching takes too long, and I'm too impatient, lol. 3DMark Score 10308 3DMarks SM 2.0 Score 4742 Marks SM 3.0 Score 4838 Marks CPU Score 2306 Marks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I thought those scores were cherry flavored candy, I almost licked the monitor screen, LOL.:drool: :eek2: I might just get myself one of those cards for my 6600/Infinity. WOW, can I come over and try it out, he he he. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Just wait til you see some scores on a Sempron. Hopefully I'll get some graphs up tomorrow, it is painful to overclock this slowly, but I want accurate graphs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 The sickest part is it boosted my Oblivion performance (from what I can tell) by 20FPS. FarCry I can play at 1920x1200 with all the eye candy on Cold rendering, and it never dips below 80FPS. I'm thinkin' about turning on 8X AA to give it a real test. I just wish NVidia would put out drivers that resolve the FEAR Issue of 8x AA and 8xQ causing burn-like looks on the screen. Oh and I retested 06 with my PC4000 with the card OCed to 600/1900, got 10K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SM 3.0 Score is almost as high as yours on my new test with PC4000. With your CPU score at 2306, it's probably the difference between 10.2 and 10.3K. And with my PC4800, I betcha on SM 3.0, loose by a few points on SM 2.0, and looks by 80 or so on CPU score. I think maybe your ram isn't totally stable at the settings you did that at and that's why yer scores are weirdish for 3.1GHz. I figure if 3.1GHz were stable, it'd clear 10.5K on 06... just a guess though, since I'm doin' 10.1GHz @ 2.94GHz with PC4000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I just wish NVidia would put out drivers that resolve the FEAR Issue of 8x AA and 8xQ causing burn-like looks on the screen. I noticed that as well, also something similar in BF2. It happened on both the GTS and GTX, so I assume driver issue as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I would try out Call of Duty 2 but that'd require me to install it... dun have the will or want to install yet another game right now LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmedLover84 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 What's your ram running at? Them are nice scores, assuming the ram was set to decent settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Just noticed, how come 01 wasn't run on that setup Viper? Another new personal best/highest score ever for me: 2.94GHz, DDR490, GPU @ 600/1900 41K :-D I remember just a few weeks ago I was fighting to clip 39K. Neato speedo. Alsk hit 15.5K in 05 with my PC4000 in, which almost matches my former high with 2 7900GTXs/PC4800 @ 15610. I'm hoping I can do a CMOS reset sometime soon and get that PC4800 happy with this motherboard again and do a complete field testing on it cuz the intial results (in my sig, the ones that aren't ?????) were sweet. And a new personal 3DMark03 single card high score as well: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
