it's a legit flag...it's different if it was some nonsense one was reporting....he'll get his chance to re shine when they lift the nda

This was done with an ambient of ~72f. I should get a good 25c drop in temps when I bench at ~33f on Monday. I was using the latest non BETA drivers, as well as the latest non BETA BIOS for my E760.

Wish I had more GPU's to bench. Single GTX 275 for HWBot is going to be impossible, the top 10 on there are all those MSI Lightning cards. The top 8 or 9 275's beat the top 285. I wont even be able to break the top 10 in single like I can with x2 SLI

I think its easier to get points with a single gpu. When you start pushing your card make sure you use gpuid to montior the temps of your vddc phase's. Thats what will kill a card and you cannot monitor with anything else that I know of. They will heat up first so make sure they dont go over 80.

Look at those scores and tell me it would be easier to bench vs those than the x2 scores

PICS: YAY!!!

WOW those clocks are INSANE yea its going to be tough to get points running with a single card. On the upside your rig looks great

Rud, I might take the loop from: rad > cpu > res/pump > rad.  From rad to res, like you have it will give time for the water to warm back up ever so slightly.  Just a suggestion.

With the new hwbot point engine, single core gpus always get a higher point value because more folks submit scores with single gpu's.  In other words, even if you have the fastest vantage system in the world, which would be a multiple gpu set-up, you will get less points than the fastest single gpu set-up.

Hey sniper which bios are you using for your card. Im using the "unlocked" asus bios and it has a cap of 1.35v on the gpu and people are reporting 1.4 all over the place??????

Give me 1.4 volts ill give you a few golds

 
Hi Regg I'm using the stock MSI Bios it only goes to 1.35...... i'm having problems with artifacts at low clocks at the moment so i'm thinking i may need to RMA again....... still testing i've got it set up on the chiller at the moment so will see
 
oh and congrats on some of those hwbot runs very nice
 
Cheers Snipe

 

Thanks sniper, I found a tool called asus smart doctor that lets me go up to 1.5 volts, I have an asus bios flashed on my card not sure if thats required or not? Yea I hit a ceiling im trying to shed some more heat as we speak. I want to hook up my mag 5 but it shakes the whole room. I have some rubber pad im going to try to use to shut it up.

to upload to hwbot with 3dmark06 do i actually have to purchase a key or can i take screen shot of the score uploaded to orb? and if i need a key does anyone have one or know where i can get one for cheap since i would like to upload my score for a single 9800gt
