We need to make the most of it before piggin comes in and takes over.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I have a 3570K and GA-Z77X-UD5H waiting to be put together (I/O Plate is on the way)

Did you have an HD5870 before?? Any chance you can run that??

Interestingly, to me at least, my FX6300 @ 4.3GHz is thoroughly beaten by HalloweenJack's Phenom II X6 at 3.6 GHz in the physics test. I guess the physics test is heavily FPU intensive and so Vishera is hit hard by having half the number of FPUs, despite the clockspeed advantage.

Your overclocked FX6300 beats my Xeon E3-1220 which is a Core i5 2400 with more L3 cache,and a Core i5 2500K running at stock clockspeeds.

Yeah mate, I've not forgotten! Got a weekend to myself so im gunna geek out!

I know I am asking a lot,but is possible to run it at stock on your stock Core i5?? My Xeon E3-1220 is a bit slower than your Core i5 3570K at stock clockspeeds,but I would like to see how an overclocked HD5850 1GB does against a stock HD5870 1GB!!

Is the test not multi threaded?

behold, my mighty onboard ATI 3300 HD http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/139461


fyi, anyone else deciding to run an older ATI card the 4xxx series and earlier.

make sure youve got a copy of the legacy drivers from here. from 12.8 version onwards they've split them up into seperate files.


edit, see scaryjims post further down. i need to read stuff better

The results on the 680's are all similar even though we have different GPU/MEM clocks. Im still tweaking to push a bit more out but dont seem to be stable past 1280 on the GPU. I think Terbinator may have a golden GPU and there is more to come from his card

880 points ahead of me

2000 points behind Intel HD3000

Physics scores look funky though - my i7 narrowly beats your 920 on the cloud gate physics, but loses badly to it on the ice storm physics...?

EDIT: also, look out for my mega overclocking efforts to try to surpass you on my 785G board with a Phenom II X4 - let the contest ... begin!

I think it is,but it is still more GPU intensive. I suppose if you set your Core i5 3570K to 3.1GHZ to 3.4GHZ,it would be closer,but I want to get a rough ballpark figure. I am running the 13.2 BETA2 drivers IIRC. I might update them to the latest ones to see if anything improves,although I doubt it!!

[scaryjim]

fyi, anyone else deciding to run an older ATI card:

you HAVE TO put on 12.6 drivers or earlier. 12.8 or newer does NOT contain any drivers for 4xxx series or earlier, it just shows up as an unknown device.

I'm going to try over the weekend, and will download and install this set of drivers, which is the 13.1 legacy pack. I'll let you know how I get on

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I would run this on my A6-3670K,but I am a tad scared the stock cooler might melt.

[scaryjim]

You'd be amazed how capable the stock cooler is CAT - have you not read my review!? It will sound like a 787 taking off though, and with a similar level of fire risk!

I, however, have no such worries, because my 3670K now has one of these securely installed:

k.. theyre still doing drivers but in a seperate file. thats not how i read it when they switched to that method. i thought theyd stopped at 12.6 for good, no more improvements.

i really should read stuff more closely. ill edit my post above to avoid mass confusion about the matter.

5627 for my system as it currently stands; http://www.3dmark.com/fs/99521

i7 920 @ 3.778GHz, 2GB Gigabyte GTX 670 WindForce 3X @ stock (980MHz core, 1502Mhz mem).

I may have a fiddle later tonight and see if I can break the 6000 barrier.

I think you will have to live with the stock results

Im probs not going to do anything with the i5 stuff this weekend anyway as my i/o plate hasnt arrived, but i can test out the 5870 on my AMD chip for now.

[stevie lee]

too much hassle to swap back to the onboard 3300 and try with the proper drivers
im back to the 7770. your just competing againts yourself new jimbob

my experiment -

CPU overclocked from 2.8 to 3.1GHz
graphics core from 1100 to 1150 MHz
graphics memory from 1300 to 1350 MHz

not a lot, but as card is pre overclockd, didnt want to stress it too much.

old results - http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/104804
overclocked results - http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/141098


ice storm goes up 9562 points
cloud gate goes up 546
fire strike goes up 50

so still behind Bagnaj in fire strike, whos got a lower clocked card and a lower CPU. absolutely destroy them in every other test.

im assuming Bagnaj has their card in a x16 speed slot. mines just in a x8.
so for DX11 stuff at least my card is being severly bottlenecked, and DX10 just a little bit.

which just goes to show that you need to plug stuff in the right holes or else youll end up hurting yourself.
