lol. Thanks all. Everyone helped me in this believe me.

 

Yep. I got work to do! great job though don.

What drivers did you use?

 

sorry. New drivers.
185.20 the godly vantage driver.

not better but i see some potential. i'll run some more tomorrow.

 

dam the dox driver!

I ran vantgae 5 times, EVERY time it crashes the driver in the last 3 seconds of GPU test 2

And I am outside now

Where can I get this dam 185.20 driver?!

Awesome Don. Thats good. Under Vista or W7? Clocks?

I will test it.

 

Tried that version and the LV2Go one and both install with the colors completely messed up and no access to control panel in Windows 7

Dox is also still reliably crashing EVERY DAM RUN at the end of GPU test 2

God I am frustrated tonight

Definitely going to do more of these outside runs though haha

 

I can test on weekend. So long ..

 

win7 x64
675/1675/1080

 

Guru3D - No chance to install.
LV2go - A wonderfull multicolored flickering screen and no NV Panel.

Now, i test with Dox...

 

the Guru3D one needs an INF with the GTX 280m device ID added. I tried all 3 and had no success, all had color problem and all had control panel issues. I also noticed the flickering.

here is the color issue for those confused:

After:

I also tried my own INF and it had the same issuse. I took a screenshot while the colors were all off and looked at it with a working driver again and it looked fine. So it seems to be something about how the video cards are talking to the monitor. The computer thinks it is working normally.

 

I don't miss that look

 

Oh man. Thats the same on my book.

I have run the Dox setup.exe with Vista copatibility Mode. After reboot you can see the Control Panel in that damn flickering screen. When you turn SLI on is that Control Panel hanging. After Reboot the same sh...

And don? You have this driver installed and all is ok?

 

don uses the force. I think he just knows where to click to start it.

 

Thats no funny. The force will also be with me... :laugh:

 

lol. I get that screen as well.

but if you want a temp fix. Disabled sli and reboot. Then boot into it. Then do what ever you want to do in nst. Then enable sli. And then nst will freeze. Then run what ever you want.

 

btw.
gpu single stock
5525
gpu sli stock
10515

 

Oh so close to 13K GPU

 

good luck. You can do it. (or just trade it with me. )

btw you are at 3870 stock clocks with the core.

 

Gah!

 

and this is how it's done...

Lucky 13s across the board as promised.

 

*scrapes jaw off the floor*

 

wow. Nice. You drop the clocks for better stabilty.

 

no I didn't, which clocks are you referring to?

 

cpu clock speed.

 

Ridiculous dude.

+1

 

I've been fluctuating slightly during the different tests.

 

great job drake!! very dammn impressive there!

so much so i had to post in the w90 thread...lol

 

truly awesome score Mandrake

Working on mine now, got to catch don

 

Thanks, I'd get flamed if I did such a thing.

 

Thanks, the 20K 06 run now starts. It's going to be harder.

 

yeah, that was happening to me as well... early part of this year...till i finally got beat.

 

I just noticed that I finally passed the orb "Validity". It usually complains about the driver.

 

I am now gathering a collection of drivers

This weekend, the testing begins!

 

Do you finally have the new system board?

 

NOPE

But time stops for no one!

 

Well done! that score is insane

 

mandrake are those the factory clocks for the 4870's or you overclock it

 

get cha' bench on!!

 

@witcher:That is OC'ed. Factory clocks are 550|888.

 

ok you cant go little more like 660-1075 ?

 

Possibly, there is still plenty more to try including over-volting....right now I'm trying to get my 3DMark06 score up. I like keeping extra bullets for the competition.

 

.....



It's a decent score

 

man that sounds serious hit the 13k on vantage is enough for my i hope i can do that

 

OK I'll bite, what's a good score?

It would be nice if more 4870 owners joined in. Over the summer I had the 12K mark and Scook pushing me to keep going. Right now there's no one willing.

 

Lucky 14's

with a overvolt and the ac vent like mine will let you clock insanely high ... You need more air pushing in the cool it better.

I have no doubt these will hit 14k easy with that

 

I can promise 14s with the right motivation. We need more participants.

 

i will overclock mine when it arrives and by that time louisiana is going to be freezing
