3DMark Vantage Compilation

Last edited:
Thats what I don't get how are you guys getting 20k with the 5850?
I know the cpu speed helps but that is alot higher than alot of runs I have seen.
Most vatage runs I have seen are in the 14k-18k.That is with the 5850 overclocked to its max in some of the systems.

I'm guessing your system is being CPU limited: the video card needs more CPU to get its work done. If you can push your CPU harder, you'll see the score go up. Or, you could drop in a physx card and have it function like a CPU and it will bring the scores up as well.

and here is a pic of my system with water cooling




yep..that´s a modded gatorade bottle :cool:

:pimp:
 
Nice res!
Get a lot of electrolytes with gatorade:)
 
whoooooooooo "Asylum" i just looked at the boards and it seems you have
slipped into the top of most slots, that is some mighty good benching

top notch work!
 
Dam bro how is that res even working.
You get air all in your lines with it setup like that.
Both tubes need to be under water.
Your going to burn your processor up like that.

Hi there, that pic is with the system running, the pump is always fed with water(system on or off) , there is no air in the tubes (when it´s running) :wtf:

EDIT: here an other pic, added some color to the water so its easier to see what i mean:

Both tubes do not need to be under water at all. The only thing that will happen if you don't have your return under water is noise. You only have to make sure the res is full enough that any air bubbles don't make it to the intake. There are plenty of reservoirs that don't have the return tube under water. Cyberdruid has even made a few custom ones that way.
 
gonna do a run in a minute on 3 5770s

can i kill someone?

i mean, WTF!!!!! i have 3 5770?

what kinda score is that, getting the same as with 2 5770? or am i cpu limited?

or do i need to do some weird tweaking?

Wow that does suck!
It is either a scaling issue or as you pointed out a CPU bottleneck~
 
You need to OC. Your score should go up nicely with some clocking.
 
what bus speeds do the 3 PCI-e slots run at, 16x8x8 or 8x8x8
 
CPU For sure

Yeah, decent enough graphics card score, should be wiping the floor of my total score (16307) seeing as how I only have 1x Single DX10 Series GPU Graphics card and a Dual Core CPU, everything air cooled. Chuck in an overclock and you should be screaming along (I would assume) :-)
