ASUS Radeon HD 5870 Sets GPU Speed Record of 1525 MHz (core)

it's just a curiosity. It seems like there's always more emphasis placed on core speed rather than mem speed so I'm just wondering why.

Core speed make more of a difference on the score.

But it can't be validated because it uses the cheating drivers that increases Cpu score.

What are you talking about? If you mean Physx, it was off for that run. Not to mention, HT was shut off, and he was only clocked to 4070 on the cpu.

ARE YOU BLIND MAN ? LOOK AT THE SCORE OF A 4.4 GHZ CORE I7 ON THE ATI CARD AND THEN AT A 4 GHZ CORE I7 ON THE FERMI CARD

THERE IS A 12910 difference and the Ati card has a faster clocked CPU !!!
:D:D:D Blind fa..... in denial of course.
 
Jesus. That is some hardcore overclocking. In reality that's like looking in the type of scores that one might get in the near future. All they need is a better way of dissipating heat and we're set.

Look at CPU test number 2. That IS NOT a physx score, period. If Physx was on, that test would be in triple digit frame rates. Even my 8800GT gets 130fps in that test. http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1797491

Here is one on a GTX480 with Physx on: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=2090491 Notice it gets almost 275fps in CPU Test 2.

Not to mention, look at GPU-Z, the Physx box is unchecked on the Fermi score, meaning Physx is disabled.

Do some research before making baseless claims.

QFT. ATi run has HT on.
 
Both CPU 1 (1 is not physX) and 2 tests are higher, even though it has lower clock speed.

I say the guy with higher clock and lower CPU scores has a fucked up CPU.
 
Yeah, but will it run DOS??? Oh wait ...

That is quite an impressive OC.

Or Vantage may not like HT on a 6 core, or he didn't tweak his install as far. Could be a multitude of things. Maybe they even just pushed the cpu a little too far on that voltage, and might get a better score with a slightly lower clock. Who knows?

Either way, both OCs are damn impressive.
 
I don't hold a 3D Mark score in much regard when comparing different architectures eg ATI v nvidia or even different generations from the same company, as the results don't tend to match real-world gameplay all that well.

So the fact that the GTX 480 beats that tortured 5870 don't mean jack to me - I want to see real game scores or it's meaningless.

The only time it really means something in my book is when you're comparing the same chip under different clocking conditions or the same card from different manufactures ie two GTX 480s or something. That result by Shamino is only comparable to another 5870.

That's a dual-processor setup. Two processors on Classified SR-2. Look at the "processor" dropdown. So there are 12 cores even if HTT was disabled (still faster than a single CPU on HTT).
 
interesting that this is basically what a 5970 would perform at stock with that same cpu/memory overclock. at least based on the toms review of the gtx480

nice oc but interesting to see 1600 sp's at 1500MHZ vs 3200sp's at 725mhz = the same performance

yeah it has 2 gigs of mem u want a comparison of 5970 stock with Aries. (4gb) (oced by the same person ofcourse ;) )

Thanks. I missed that detail. Gives even more merit to my point.
 
Is that extension socket RoG?
 
Despite this massively impressive overclock, a GTX 480 will be faster and better. This is because nvidia always make the fastest and best cards, bar none.

I'd read the rest from this nvidia PR leaflet, but the dog ate it. :laugh:

All you need is something to cool that GTX 480. I suggest this picture below? Or do I need to go bigger.. :D Also nice oc on the card, but the CPU at 1.5v and only at 4.5 seems low to me. Or he has a bad ocing chip.

I do feel pity for the polar bear

Guys the reason why his CPU score is so high is because he has 2x 6core guftown's. He turned HT off as vantage can only use 12 core/threads. Its not phyx or a wrong score. Sorry if someone else already posted this, i had a quick scan through comments.
 
Well i missed that too 2x 6core guftown's, i was under the impression it has physx enabled or something , eighter way it doesn't matter , the GTX480 has an advantage and the score difference would be so little if they were on the same platform , sure the GTX480 would win but by a hair.
