Correct, as I stated, 775 is still superior.

I didn't feel like waiting for my E8600 to get back from RMA so I ordered another one today. Should be here in time for the weekend. Unfortunately I will not be home in time to get some LN2. Looks like it is time to break out the geothermal well cooling for the NB.

100's of runs today and I'm finding i7's not as necessary for per-run LOD adjustments. My highest run so far was at a constant.

Food for thought :)

Great work vivi my friend.Really cool guide for newbies or not.

Could not agree more! Thanks for posting that!

Yep, the more times you run a test the higher the chances are it will be lower...sometimes by a lot. The flip side to this is there are more tests than just the well known CL which can bug ;)

It can get very complicated, it really does take a lot of work to get a good '01 run off. The paramaters of the 01 challenge will really make this obvious, it can drive a person to drink :D

there is just keep at it ;) :thumbsup:

getting the order and LOD right is just part of the game but a very important one once you've got all the other settings etc sorted out

yeah dude too right :D hahahah
slams a beer :rofl

:D.

You aus guys really know how to party / post / and clock!

This comp is gonna rule :)

Reading this guide while overclocking, Goddy, this is sickness at its finest. Big Ups to you my man for showing us around.

For and aired out 285 I think I'm very close to max but I did find that just using an LOD at 5.1 gave me better results, and trust me I tried from 3.0-9.0 on each to come to that conclusion lol.

very usefull info. for the starters, good job vivi ;)

i know its not near your skilllevel though hey :)

care to share only 1 extra tweak ^_^ ?

very nice guide goddy , thanks .

brilliant Vivi, just gotta wait for some parts to arrive then I can put these tweaks into practice ;)...

ehehe i may used wrong words :) i wanted to mean it is very educative even if you just started 01.

i dont have much on writtens :thumbsup: and i usually dont share the tweaks to public but only who really works on it and deserve to be shared :thumbsup: i hope i am understandable :)

Damn, my 3DMark2001 is going haywire, damn you Vista 64bit...

xp32 is preffered for 3d01, vista's prolly gonna gimp u by alot anyhow, but hey its fun! :D

+1 :blink: to_keep_order

But Tanx Vivi For :

RUN IN SYSTEM CACHE MODE. (Properties mycomputer -> advanced tab -> Performance Settings -> advanced Tab -> "System cache" under Memory usage)

It's Working For Me :good:

Hey Goddy,

When you take this into account.

Any ideas why I can push the gpu harder on LobbyH over DragothicH
On a GTX260, gpu mem @ 1191 for both.
But on,
LobbyH I can run the gpu @ 1044
but,
DragothicH I have to back it down to 1006


Oh, I started testing one gpu last night :D

i see :)

Thanks for the info, i will change it.

i got this info from James himself! (or most of what i can remember and what i freeze on)

Im sure it depens on some gpu's, but it looks like your right, thx for the know how.

OOH you little :D. Single gpu's it is eh :D

Only really for a bit of fun, and to make sure it's not too easy to win.


I must say, I did almost pick up an old 8800GTX to try and get a green card on 775 to win this.
But in the end, I'll just run with the hardware I have around the house.

:good::Hi:

Thank you. I would rather loose in a good competitive environment than win because I was the only one still kickin' the single card. Even though I could really use that pot.

I was going to make an attempt at single, but if deanzo got a 260 at close to 1200core.... no point really ohcrap

Great thread vivi very helpful for this incredible bench!!!

I've tested other 3D benchmarks and that one's a no no, not a huge hit but still a hit.

thanks dude, i learnt a couple things here.. you attention to detail is impecciable and it is showing through in your scores and results..

This is great stuff!

I set mipmap 3.0 but picture is not blur in 3D marks
anybody knows why?

maybe card or driver isnt supported by riva? You trying a 4 series nvidia card?

no it's 8800 GTS
I think I've figured it out
it's driver problem
when I try to change something in Nvidia control panel (like force vertical sync off) it returns to defaults any way

it's all new driver !!!
I download 197.77 version and now mipmap works
that's on 8800 G92
I also have 260 and I don't know how drivers will work on it

Can anyone fix the pictures please? am new to 3d benching and am a little lost.....
thank you:)

pics are loading for me, wuts wrong exactly?

^^^hi...
check the attachment:)
thanks

Oh snap, it must be something to do with you accessing it from your geographical location. Try an anonymous web surfer like http://www.ultrareach.com/ maybe?

ok...reporting back....

^^^a little proxy fixed it:)
any idea why this happened? am a networking noob

Likely some sorta geographically based policy implemented by photobucket in your country. The governement might have some sorta restriction or they are seeking revenue from you guys somehow. Dunno, glad we got you hooked up and jammin tho :D

they dont want you to know the secrets of 01 must be! ;)
