Glad to say I managed it

@Jr ... could you post a linky to your wallpaper?

EDIT: Thanks Jr

Right... 3Dmark 06 runs fine with the clocks I've used for that, tried using the same clock's for Vantage and I get a BSOD... related to a hardware error, lack of voltages is this?

Gives me something to shoot for.... My highest right now... is P19000 with a GPU score of 15K.

I think that is as far as I can push this 768Mb card.

But I am happy to be giving the 1Gb boys a run for their money Great score bro.

[sneekypeet]

@ 20mm... Do those ram timings drop any or can you increase the speed with the same latencies?

With a score of 19000 would almost put you on par with PP's 465 too

Score counts here with PhysX on?

20mmrain, OC CPU more, will help with GPU score too, since your using SLI.

I can get higher on my CPU guaranteed. I have an i7 860 @ 4ghz with a Vcore of 1.31. So I know 4.2 or 4.3 at least is achievable. But I also am only using only a CM Hyper 212+ the thermal on that HSF is not stable enough with such heat. I would have to upgrade my HSF first.
I could push a little more maybe 4.1 or 4.15 but then I should really upgrade my HSF.

Yes we are using PhysX enabled.... but we look at the GPU score more. My SLI GPU Score is over 26K. Which is faster then GTX 470's and 5850's. W/O physx Enabled. W/PhysX enabled my P Score is 30K and my GPU score is still mid 26K. I think I can push my GOU score in SLI too 27K easily.

Considering I ran my 5850's in Crossfire w/ an i5 750 @ 4Ghz and scored a GPU score of High 24K.... I would say these cards are kicking some ass for 3/4 of the price

I am seriously considering selling them and buying some 1Gb cards and see what damage I can do with them.

@ 20mm... Do those ram timings drop any or can you increase the speed with the same latencies?

You know... I don't know? I could try the AUTO timing and then drop the multiplier to see if I can get lower speeds and latencies.
But honestly I would be very new to RAM latency overclocking. You got any good tutorials for beginners. I am sure I could get a way better score if I gave it a try

But no the latencies I have them set at right now are stock timings.

****EDIT****
Wanted to add a couple of things.
1. If I lower my Multiplier and then raise my QPI clock up to = the same overclock as before. It seems my Vantage score increases? Has anyone else noticed this? I am sure they have but I am now noticing this for my first time so excuse me if I seem like a Noob

2. I tried lowering my Timing to 8/8/8/24/74 I don't know if I should have entered in the 74 part last but my computer failed to start when I did that. I will mess around with timings more later to see what I can achieve.

If there is a tutorial out there though that someone knows about please shoot it over. All is welcome.

Simply trial and error. Raise the QPI/VTT a tenth volt, the CPU just a touch or two bumps more volts. Then go to like 8-9-9-24, then 8-9-8. then 7-9-8 see if you can get like 7-8-7-24 1T going on them. If it makes it to windows and can pass WPrime or super pi, run some memtest to be sure its solid.

Thanks I will try it bro.

ram is overlooked a lot more now than it used to be, I find with just the right tweaking on em, you can eek out more points overall

Yeah, they kick a$$! In SLI GTX460 are faster than GTX480 and cost less! Best P/P!

Jup, it's because your CPU is wating for work from QPT. Ok it's not tehnicly corect but hope you get the point. Higher QPT/BCLK is bether then highest multipalyer(-that goez four unlocked CPUs)
As for SuperPI and simular just pump the multiplyer.

I tried lowering my Timing to 8/8/8/24/74 I don't know if I should have entered in the 74 part last but my computer failed to start when I did that. I will mess around with timings more later to see what I can achieve.

For 3DMarks Timings are not so inportant, you'll get more points out of RAM MHz than Timings.
But for things like SuperPI Timings are really inporatant.

I hope i explained some things in raw so you know what to look for.

When I was still on my DDR2 QX9650 system I got better scores with my ram at 1000Mhz 4-4-4-12 than with 1200MHz 5-5-5-15. 3DMark does not always want higher mhz. It depends on the system.

[fitipaldi]

I was aiming only at i7 and i said "in raw".

Yeah I got all that bro thanks for the input

[fitipaldi]

No problem.

It's a shame I can run my processor higher, but Vantage says NO!

Anyways, here it is:

Now if I could only throw some Intel in there. Sandy Bridge is looking mighty tasty.

[ERazer]

did anybody tried lucid hydra with vantage? score any btter?

Edit:@erocker im still piss at intel killing socket p55 (secretly gonna try sandy)

You forgot your table format at the top of your post bro!
Thread updated.

This is of course without PhysX

Can't get this card to clock much beyond this...you 460 owners using water cooling?

What are you using to overclock the card?
