3DMark Vantage Compilation

Latest beta drivers I believe. I turn off a bunch off anything that polls the GPU, and I disable sound on a device level during the benchmark. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the 5850 and 5870 perform exactly the same at the same clocks.

Try the extreme settings and see if that still happens. (Well, if you have a 5870 to test with, anyway.)

Been there, done that, same scores +/- 1%

::EDIT::

Just retested. Uploaded the image to techpowerup instead of photobucket. I'm going to link up video to support my runs. Since it's coming into question.

5970 vantage

10.3 beta driver. small overclock until the waterblock arrives.

 
last night i had a gpu score of 20k but no vantage score with ppu disabled?

i clocked my card to 901 1275
 
Nice score Binge. Same goes to you Bob.

So, since I got the i7 860 chip, I've been playing with that instead of playing Bioshock 2.. So, how better is it to have instead of my i5?



Here is the results

i7 860 at 4ghz | Stock crossfire 5870's

i7 860 vantage 4ghz.jpg




Now, for my babies to be clocked.


Cold Storm | Asus 5870's Xfire | 1051/1351 | 28211 | i7 860 @ 4ghz


i7 860 vantage 4ghz 2.jpg



So,


Highest
i7 860 4.0ghz -- 28211
i5 750 4.4ghz -- 26923

Maybe those new drivers....Gave me alittle boost myself.

Do I need to make another video to get my good score posted? :laugh:
 
My latest run with the new drivers.

I was waiting for that post binge, nice run, i think i wait with my other runs to see where the high water mark is..

PS, love the video ~!

great stufff guys,...
 
Binge i wasnt tring to imply that you didnt get that score.
I was just tring to find out what gave you that score...New drivers...You said something about shutting off some sound devices....Things along that line.
Oh...nice video by the way.
 
I dont see why there would be much diff between a 5850 and a 5870 with clocks likes binges.. I wouldnt think 160 shaders or w/e would really play a big role in vantage either

Thanks! I didn't mean to do anything except get your rear in gear :p. Much respect for what you do here Asylum. I'm an open book, ask me any time if you want tips to boost the score.

The 5850 is the cart ATI intended to design. I believe that entirely. The 5870 was just a way to sell a more expensive card.
 
a 2gb 5870 at release probably would have put the 5870 where it really needed to be.. the hi res eyefinity card? blah

If I had a 5850 i wouldnt want to run it overvolted and clocked to its max 24/7 without a water setup though, but that's just me. I chose the the 5870 for that very reason- I never overclock my gpus.. permanent artifacting and card failures have always had me paranoid since the issues on other nvidia cards Ive had in the past.

IMO from what Ive seen the 5850 is where it's at... cheap, powerful and overclocks great.. like the i7 920 of gpus?

Yeah but even at max OC afterburner can offer with overvolt the card never goes over 60C with a good fan profile. It's safe on air.
 
I'm sure it is. I am an unlucky person though :) so I try to not take too many risks with hardware I can't afford to replace.

just came back :pimp:
 
Nice run bro. You install the new drivers also?

yep also incresed the clocks a little more :)

i posted this one for the team, check it out!
 
slightly more cpu oc

 
here you go.
