OpenGL Fur Benchmark

oooooooooh you beauty!!!!!
 
Can you edit the 4870 BIOS to have higher than stock voltages?
 
figured i'd throw this up to beat my last score before someone updates this

wow nice score , you overclock it well , my system must have same score of your system, but i have 2900 score with no overclock , but it is far of 6000 even if i try overclock , i think i have something wrong

acutally there isn't anything wrong with your score, i'm running 2 8800gts g92's in sli that's why it's so high, and i must have my shades way up higher then yours
 
some nice scores here... looking forwards to beating em......
pity we cant get a work around for crossfire...
 
Hey, chin up!

I'm counting on YOU to find out how to use CF in this bench! ;)
 
lol.... supposedly ati is working on a new opengl driver... hopefully it will be implemented in the next update...

going mad trying to get furmark to run 'everytime' without getting a black screen...
 
figured i'd throw this one in there to try and stay in the running

i don't think this is half bad for onboard

cdawall what kind of voltage can that board give CPU and ram?

HD4870

It looks like I'll be on the bottom of the list for HD4870 cards. I see a new motherboard and cpu in my future!

onboard HD3200 512mb shared @800/417(what my DDR2 is runnign at)


even better i bumped the ram up to DDR1020 and core 850

turns out theres some sort of bug with the ati ccc... hopefully it will be fixed in the next driver... so no more black screen issues...
 
I don't understand the highest HD4870 score? How did it get such a high score? Is there a difference between running this with Vista or XP?

*I still don't get how someone could have a higher score with less of an overclock...

I think the fact that he's running XP plays a part in it, that's the only variable apart from CPU speed.
 
I just thought that CPU speed had no effect with this benchmark. Oli, you have a sweet clocking card.. What's the highest gpu speed you've gotten with furmark?

Thanks, I guess I got lucky for once because my 8800GT was a crap clocker and my CPU is too.

That's the highest stable clock speed I can use with this benchmark, I can bench at 880 GPU using vantage though, I guess furmark stresses the shaders more.

Nice! Perhaps the memory makes more of a difference than I thoght too...:toast:
 
i find the biggest gains in furmark are shader increases, i can raise my core clocks from 775-850 and the score changes just a bit, i change my shader from 1850 to 2050 and the score skyrockets.

I hate to pour rain on the highest HD4870 score of 6743 but it was done using v1.0.0.

He submitted another score of 6377 using v1.4.0.

Congratulations oli_ramsay, you actually have the best HD4870 score using v1.4.0! I've been trying to decide what motherboard to buy and here you're using an old P35 and almost everybody else are using X38 or X48. What gives?

Well that's good news :toast:

I'm using this board because it was:

A) Cheap (£60)
B) Good overclocker (500+ FSB)
C) I don't plan to use crossfire so X38/X48 is unnecessary and well expensive (>£120)

It doesn't effect anything for me. I've tried all speeds between 3.6 and 4.55 on my quad with no changes in score.

I just ran the bench on all available versions of FurMark with the gaming stable settings of my G92GTS:
1.0.0 -> 3867
1.3.0 -> 3856
1.4.0 -> 3858

I'd say there's no significant difference.
Would someone who has a HD4800 card run all three versions and see if there's a difference?
I've hosted a RAR archive containing all three versions here.

ryan554,
It seems SLi wasn't working in your benchmark.
