Puck Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 *sigh* so close...I really want 3k in 3dmark 2005, but this card just doesnt seem to want to cooperate. I'm getting painfully close, and I've tried so many different drivers i've lost count. The best so far for 05 seem to be the 2.6.05a omegas...next gonna try the omega 2.5.97, then the catalyst .6512s...I'm running out of options here . This is my best so far, without pushing the card into serious artifacting : So close - sucks huh? If neither of those drivers work I'm gonna just grab a desktop fan, open the side panal, and go for a suicide run Anyone know of some magic radeon drivers with exceptional performance? I've tried the new dna's, but none of the old ones yet...I think the 5.1 dna's, if they even exist, will bench good...back to testing for now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone2sk Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 With my x850xt the 5.3 cats are the best. What are the clocks on your card? Also try making 3dmark05 realtime(under processes in ctrl+alt+delete) Also where do you live, because there is always cold air.

Outside air is definatly out of the question...I live in central florida - right now we're in a cold front...63F at 10:50am, lol. That bench was at 453/387, and I beleive it was High priority. I'll try the 5.3 cats with realtime. I should be getting a new dmm soon, so I can finally up the volts(hopefullly its not already high volts...I beleive it was at 1.7 core last time the MM was working), but I dont want to try to raise it without one. Planning on running 1.85v - 1.8 is max recommended for air, but I assume thats for like a silencer or other premade cooler - this silentboost and 2x80mm fans keep it mighty cool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone2sk Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 I would not go over 1.9, you do have good cooling so temps are not going to be much of a probelm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 look in my sig I just barely got 3k with a 9800pro on stock cooling. and yes that score was with the 5.3 cats as tbone suggested and the card was clocked to 455/360 and the cpu was at 240x10. It could have gone more, but I got tired of the 9800pro and got an x800xt lol. If you want some tips PM me and I would be glad to help.

Fireonice Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 yes the air outside would not be a problem for us florida dwealing creatures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Heh, got it with those cats, thanks tbone . About 20pts away from first page with all drivers, and on first page number 12 with fm approved drivers Not bad for r350 core aiw Those drivers seem to have raised my max oc too...gonna try to bench at 464 core(8mhz more) and see what happens Heres the compare link for that run here **edit** lol, Nerm, your meatlocker has been bested by heavy copper and fans **edit** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to bench it on my old lan party 250gb board that I sold him. So you might be 2rd. Very nice work man! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still tweaking - I think this card has a little more left in it ...I wonder how far your friends will go...without any mods this poor thing froze instantly at about 410mhz, lol.

tbone2sk Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 That is about what his card does, maybe a little higher. All I have on his card is a Al heatsink on the gpu and a 35cfm 80mm fan on that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 **edit** lol, Nerm, your meatlocker has been bested by heavy copper and fans **edit** 463450[/snapback] lol, not really because all those scores in my sig were achieved without the meatlocker. Like I said earlier I never even bench my 9800pro in 05 as high as it would go. That is a great job tho on an r350 AIW. Keep it up and go for the front page. EDIT: oops forgot: I kinda lied lol one of those scores in my sig was done in the "meatlocker" lol name which one it is and I will give you a cookie haha.
