Yeah the cold air is for the processor though. I need to run the full gamut of benches. prolly do that tomorrow. Im happy with the 950 so far. its clocking decent on the 24x multi which is surprising...

aquamark3 has never scaled with multiple cards (usually just a VERY small gain over single card).

also vantage is almost never cpu bottlenecked, it has nothing to do with 1 2 or 4 cards really. cpu plays a small part in that bench

That would be Fun.

Just hooked up the cold air tube we will see what gains that brings for the 950!

Nice, we shoulda did Aquamark today too, dammit, forgot about that one, lol.
I'll get the 4-way up and running.

aquamark is fast becoming one of my favorite benches.

You can push every system component to the absolute limits and it will still run. Bench responds to tweaking of all kinds. You can squeeze points out almost anywhere

Well XP shouldnt be your Os of choice even if your using only 2 cards much less 3, 4 and above. What I meant was your OS can support 1000 gpu's but if the drivers dont support it... whats the point. And I was additionally replying to the "hacked drivers" statement: because even if you change some parameter in the driver to allow 5 cards, you probably wouldnt see any scaling from the 5th card, since the rest of the driver code isnt optimized to use it.

Anyways back on topic I updated my vantage score a bit:

Nice! btw, looksl like someone's been submitting gulftown runs at the orb (50K Vantage)
How'd you break 300k in AQ3 at those speeds????????????

Chicken Patty · #8 12-19-2009

Good runs bro

karmakazi · #9 12-20-2009

AQ3 is very sensitive, so ram timings/subtimings & bandwidth play a role as well as of course just raw mhz. Im still bottlenecked by my cpu here, so every little increase in speed on the processor will bump the score up. Never run AQ3 in vista its awful

For some reason I can't get aquamark to run in W7 :(
