suryad Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 And boy its fast. I just ran a prelim couple of benchmarks no oclock just latest drivers. Scored over 17k in 3dmark I dont know if that is about the average or not have to dig around for some more info. And then ran Cinebench 10 and got some decent numbers there too. What other benchmark tools/softwares do yall use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 nice benchmarks dont really matter tho. what matters is that you can play every games maxed out with no lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Agreed ripken! I have run one game so far and thats GRAW...and I have it maxed out at 2560 x 1600 and it runs without a stutter. It is pretty stunning! I was having lots of tearing issues which I cured by turning on vsync and that took care of that. I guess that just proves the rig has more than enough juice to max that game out. I gotta beat that game, then move on to GRAW 2 then R6 : Vegas...I will be busy for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 hahai personally didnt like either of the GRAW games, i've played every Tom Clancy game there is too.. i should try out RS:Vegas again. this time with my 8800gts instead of my 7800 which i had to turn the graphics down on.

suryad Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 I guess it is a morbid fascination I have with weapons...its just cool and I do like the tactical map view and using drones to sniff out the enemy and all that. And the explosions are fantastic! They have this whole explosion warp thing that you would see in the matrix movies and i love it I guess I am just a explosion/gun kinda video game person.And I ran 3dmark again with some oclocking attempt. My memory is at 4-4-4-12 timings @ 800 mhz and I bumped my FSB from 1333 to 1600 and dropped the multiplier to 8. For some reason the mobo keeps it at 8.5 which is fine by me so I have a 3.4 ghz processor clock speed. Got an 18.2k in 3dmark! Quite cool. Not that I can notice the difference any but I just wanted my memory and cpu to be 1:1. Neat stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 haha, im going to have to beat that score. you are in SLI right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultan...mp;UID=12968965Thats my score. I think I have at least another 2 thousand points I can easily extract from system from some oclocking so I can crack the 20k barrier but I dunno if I will attempt it unless....ripen you beat my score maybe...just maybe I will actually look into installing atitool and oclocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 you dont have water do you? i think that will be my advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hmm no water. I dont intend to do water since setting up is SUCH a hassle and the case is a tight fit with all that gear in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I've heard of people breaking 4GHz with the QX9650 on air - check this out! He's even got things running relatively quietly, so his fans aren't running at full tilt. The TRUE is really an incredible heatsink (my Q6600@3.0GHz runs at 46C at full load).

suryad Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 I am running that very heatsink actually. I dont know what my temps are. What utility would be recommended to check that? I am not into oclocking that much so I kept things reasonable. I think 4.2 ghz on air is achieveable with an FSB of 1700 thats what anandtech reported I believe but after that even on liquid cooling it wont go up. A quirk of the 45 nm technology apparently.

Zxian Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 CoreTemp is the only program that I've found will give the proper CPU temperatures "out-of-the-box". Make sure you get the latest beta version (0.95.4 I believe).If you check out what oscar3d has done over at SPCR, he's managed to get his temperatures down to rediculous levels by undervolting the CPU.

ripken204 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 it would be nice if coretemp works on vista stupid update that killed the ability to turn off driver signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
