Nyt Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Good to see those GPUs working well with a high performance CPU Did a comparison Vanatage run at 4.6GHZ and the 6970's at stock : http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3700702 - P36565 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 However what's up with your ram speeds, dimms 1 and 4 are slower than 2 and 3 2 of the sticks are older and have different SPD timings and for some reason report as DDR3-1333 instead of 1600. The XMP profile for all 4 sticks is the same though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Waco, is 4.8GHz as high as you're able to go? Or are you just keeping your temps and/or voltages below a certain range? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Nice chip! Hopefully Pandas chip will be as good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black64 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Cool Waco, It just drives me crazy that BD is slower then a slower X6. I need to get an i7 for my next upgrade Edited December 3, 2011 by Black6464 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Waco, is 4.8GHz as high as you're able to go? Or are you just keeping your temps and/or voltages below a certain range? It was my 40 minute OC with the voltage at 1.375. I'll push it further when i have more time to play with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Your def. gonna need more than 1.4v to get 4.9 and above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) 4870's, hmmmmm. ancient cards 2 generations old and counting..... I would think AMD's latest platform would be optimized for 6970's along with the drivers.....

Waco Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) 4870's, hmmmmm. ancient cards 2 generations old and counting..... I would think AMD's latest platform would be optimized for 6970's along with the drivers..... You would think that...but I haven't seen anything that backs that thought up. I would imagine any optimizations in their drivers geared to Bulldozer would benefit all cards since they all essentially use the same codepaths though. Not to mention these 2 (essentially 3) generation old cards slap the crap out of most newer setups. They're just hot and inefficient. Your def. gonna need more than 1.4v to get 4.9 and above. Yeah. I just don't really know the safe limits of the chip and I don't want to kill it a year down the road because I was running the voltage too high. There were an awful lot of reports of dead SB chips when they were first released because people were pumping 1.5+ volts through them. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure Intel would replace it regardless. I'd be happier running a higher voltage if they said it was safe though.

Boinker Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Yeah. They are not the core I7 900 series or the socket 775 duos and quads considering durability. I just sold the 920 I had beaten to death in the past. Hopefully the sandy bridge e does not have a glass jaw compaired to the chip Waco has. Hot and inefficient you say Waco.... what about NY gtx480s. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCRO Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 Lol, I honestly don't even care, I have my chip set for 1.41v on the core and LLC set to Level 7 putting it right around 1.46-1.47 when at 100%. As long as the chip lasts until IB, I'm gonna beat the hell out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
