    For benchmarking the Dox 182.46. You still have some work to do to catch Cryo's Vantage score with the 260s.

    anything. they just won't install. it's annoying. i feel like i am using ati cards. i've been trying for about 2 days now. :(

    and one the driver that does install doesn't show any improvment in overclocking.

    Thx im finaly getting the hang of this. If i change to much now my screen gets distortet so the new driver offers different settings. maybe OC's better, it performs better thats for sure.

    Allright, broke 11.5k early this morning....now I just have to get those GPU's putting out a few hundred more points, then up the CPU and pray it does blue-screen during the run and I can start taking cracks at 12k

    I had in game suddenly purple stripes. After a reboot, only green snow or white lines. The 9400 was still running.

    Replacing the GPU brought nothing. After the replacement of the motherboard, he ran again.

    10600 is a good GPU score for 4870 x2 with a T9600. Ati's cards are considerably more CPU bound, so I'd suspect when a more serious overclocker gets their hands on one with a QX9300, we'll see scores surpassing the 12k limits of Sli 280M.

    Also, 3dmark isn't reading the cards correctly, their's no way they have core/mem clocks of 1170/585. The best GDDR3 4870 x2 did was 11.4k, and that was with high core clocks and a high clocked QX9300. Those are GDDR5.

    I actually have a QX9300 on the way from a friend, I just couldn't justify paying dells premium for it over the T9600.

    Actually there is no such thing as a retail or box qx9300. ES and OEM are the only options.

    Meaning eBay (ES) or HP/Decctrader (OEM) are your options for around $500 for a QX9300

    I found this while doing some surfing. Shows that the World Record OC for QX9300 is 3325.09Mhz. Seems like somebody would have gotten it higher than that. Anyway, check out the page, it looks a little outdate, but maybe some of you OC/BM enthusiasts have some better scores to post.

    Nice score, looks like you found out what was going wrong.
    Are you trying at max setting or are you slowly building up?

    i'm slowly building up. i don't know the max settings for my cards.

    yes i did find out why my cards weren't overclocking. i would of wrote a guide of how to fix it but it seems like i am the only one with the problem. so i decided not to do it.

    Yes i'm back. :)

    i'm trying to be patience for the cpu but until then i'm still running games. i got 57fps on Farcry2's benchmark. my record for my whitebook was 62fps with the [email protected] and the 3870 crossfire stock.

    today i'm going to beat that record for it. the highest i have seen was 65 @1920*1200 done by pman. so i'm after that score as well.
