Is there a way to edit thread titles?

Does it work for the HD3870 too? I want to push more than 10500 3dmarks

THIS thing rox.

Could be

... Whats the trick???

Hmm its a real shame about the tool, seems to run the 4850s rather nicely, i still want them vantage marks mex :P the 3870 seems quite rediculous with that kind of clock!

Yeah... But it works great, temps are ok

and Im almost matching the performance of a single HD4870 with my overclocks

.

About vantage... I only have an ugly 1280 x 800 screen (I guess Ill upgrade to a 1900 x 1200 later I heard I could use a sager screen and it would work just fine) I dont think I could even run at "P". But Ill give it a try.

Can I use an external monitor?, Would it give me the same scores?

Use an external Monitor with 3dmark06 at 1280 x 1024. I know when I had mine I overclocked it at 750/1016 and the preformance was awesome.

Thanks for the advice, lol then it seems that these cards can be heavenly OCed

. Ill try your clocks

.

Edit: Crashed with those clocks

... Also using an external monitor cuts my performance around 10%, I ran the same test at the same resolution and got lesser scores...

Hows it cutting off performance?

I noticed a drop in vantage frames too occasionally on external!

Cobra03 · 12-27-2009, 06:58 PM

Hmm I ran mine when I had it with and without an external monitor and the scores were pretty much the same. I figured those clocks would crash on you, I didnt use them to game though I used 749/927 and it stayed cool and the preformance gain was very noticable.

catacylsm · 12-27-2009, 07:11 PM

I saw a 1 fps drop, its the same as running a single test then running them all at once, i loose a frame there too
