Calling all benchers

[BlackZero]

Don't think I saw a major difference in 03, I did see an improvement in 06 single card.

Nice benching this month Blackzero

Just knocked my poor old 680 card down a spot on the fm fs hof lol

And good runs for you too matt!

Oh and any true guru who gets a titan and does not put up some numbers at hwbot will have there pp removed lol just kidding but it would be nice if they did.

If rumors are true about the performance the card should blow all others away in at least the more recent benches.....that is if hwbot does not change rules for the card(not really the card but the owners)

Cheers Cowie! I'm thinking about picking up a 3770k to start boosting some scores, also my 3570k sucks needed around 1.58v to get 3d mark 11 stable at 4.9GHz

Cool it down man thats too much.
Cant you just get a cheap dice pot for like 150usd? then at least it could help not hurt your stuff too much.
You get a 3770k it might not even run that fast with same cooling.. believe me

Its been delid so temps aren't bad, don't know much about DICE, its something I'm going to do in the future just don't know much about all that yet, not even sure where to buy that stuff lol

Cowie I'm going to be running some Unigine Heaven for the bot, can I use the tessellation mod like 3dmark11?

[cowie]

Sure can just like 3d11

Cheers Cowie.

I just knocked out a DX9 run and done OK with it. However my Dx11 run sucks, only around 1100 points, that's about 700 lower than blackzeros. Not sure where I've gone wrong on that one. Just doing another DX9 run in CF see if I can better my previous score

EDIT

Oh yeah! Gold Cup! Scored 5337 in Unigine Basic

Just need to figure out why my Extreme Runs suck

[Matt26LFC]

Just picked up a Sapphire 4850 on ebay for £11.50! Bring on the benching

[cowie]

Not bad matt.
with a volt mod 950 on air is easy
congrats on guru b.o.m for april.

Cheers Cowie, really trying to push myself up the rankings, think im 13th in the UK now, want to make the top 10.

What kind of volt mod? Hard or Soft? Do you know of any good guides to perform the volt mod?

I'm also thinking about picking up a universal GPU waterblock to watercool the GPUs on the cards I get, I have a spare RX120 radiator lying around I could use to cool them and I think I still have my XSPC Pump/Res Combo, also have various fittings lying around so the only outlay I would really have is the universal block and maybe some VRAM heatsinks.

[cowie]

Not sure of your exact card but if ref 4850 you can do it with a pencil or vr,you still need a dmm to read voltage and resister ohm's.

take it easy on the ram volts i blew up 3-4 cards ram phases with "just" 2.19v

you dont need ram sinks thats bs,just air flow is fine vrm's need some type of sink thuo...
i did them both(not at same time) and i think vr is better its easy points to solder.
never cared for my 4850's but i would use a as1 for cooling and benching around 950 was ok 1.50ish

[juke]

LoL, seeing this thread upped, I went back here in Guru3D team. Currently 5th here on our team ranking.

[cowie]

Welcome to the team juke.

Edit - Nevermind, I see

[Matt26LFC]

Just picked up another GPU off Ebay, Sapphire 4870 512MB Toxic, paid £19, so expect more benching runs next week

EDIT

Also just ordered a Waterblock for my MSI 7970 OC so hopefully I can get some better results when I make her about 30C cooler, may try some Liquid Ultra on it.
