Yeah, it is starting to look that way. Good thing evga has some of the best warranty and rma process in the business.

 

[Grayfox]

I did not get it from them but from PCCG.

May have to send it back to them.

And it is quite typical, the card fails after the box is thrown out.

 

[Pako]

I don't think it matters. Make sure your card is registered at evga.

 

[Grayfox]

All ready done but I hope I do not have to send it to the US.

 

[Pako]

Ouch, I hear ya.

 

[Grayfox]

Or it could be just drivers, alot of people are having issues with the 301.42 drivers.

But i also had issues with the R300.10.

Trying 301.24beta now.

Driver 301.42 are buggy and caused the issues, running a beta driver now and all is fine.

Will start to OC to get into the 10K club.

 

[Pako]

That is awesome news man! I was getting worried for ya!

 

[Grayfox]

nVidia they make the best GPUs but the worst drivers.

WHQL act like beta and the beta act like WHQL.

 

[Grayfox]

A little closer.

^ Very cool man. And people complain about AMD and their frequent releases being pointless. At least they fix issues reasonably quickly.

Awesome I want one. 👍

This test was done with the BIOS set to PCIe Gen 3 mode where as the last one was set to PCIe Gen 2 mode.

BIOS updates are needed for my sabertooth.

With the latest 12.x beta driver and the i5 now running at 4.6.

 

[Grayfox]

Did you underclock your CPU or is it 3Dmark being stupid again.

 

[Terronium-12]

Either the latter or it recorded the frequency after it downclocked from Turbo.

 

[Grayfox]

Would explain why it says my 680 is running at 705Mhz when I OCed it to 1.2Ghz, but it does show my CPUs boost clock at 4Ghz.

Also getting closer to 10k

Good to see, that finally everything is sorted out.

Don't forget to top up your water in the next weeks

 

[Grayfox]

I have the system bleed out.

So as today is the first day of a week off work and I spent 3 hours this morning cutting down a tree I decided to reward myself and add another 7850 to my recent build.

Here. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=257670

After installing it I thought I would give the 3DMark 11 test a run.
Reasonably happy with the result.

http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3844354

Apparently 3DMark thinks I should be getting better results so I'll take that as a positive. After a bit of reading I did up the multiplier on my cpu to 4.3 and upped the clock on the cards a little through Catalyst.

Who knows once I know what I'm doing I may crack the 10,000 mark. I ran prime 95 prior to the test and the cpu's max temp was 57 degrees so I was happy enough with that.

At the moment I've reset everthing back to stock until I do some research about voltages and whatnot. Heck I think I even forgot to close some background processes for that test.

Cheers Shaun.

 

[Gabkicks]

are 2 7850's cheaper than a 7970 or gtx 670 in australia?

 

[Grayfox]

7850s

7970s

Depends on which card you get.

Can work out either way.

[Pako]

10,074! Nice... 👍 It's nice to see positive results from a good over clock. Reminds me that a year ago I was talking about some kind of crazy cooling system. I guess I should post up some results later....of that cooling system.

Additional Comments:
Ok, so here's some runs on the new system.
1st Run @4.6ghz 16,220.
2nd Run @4.772ghz. 16,383.

Crashes most of games and this one was bought from computer shop on my city..
Prize was 780€ with win7 pro.

Lets get some more benches done! Any 7970's up for the challenge?

 

[Terronium-12]

I'm boned until I pick up a new card (cards?), which probably won't happen until next year when the 670's and 680's are cheaper.

I could always run some bench clocks and see if I can get a higher score than my previous 10.1k.

Doooo-it! Come on....dooooooo-it.

I might try some Dice this weekend in my tank and try to break 17k on my score. 18k would be EPIC.

How's your board holding up?
