Very very quick, overclock the card and your processor plus do some tweaking and I reckon 10k.

Easy peasy

WOW Awsome bit of kit, guess I best put the prices up.

Considering you've hit 10k so easy, maybe you should be aiming for 11k now.

I'll aim for 11k, getting it is going to be very hard i think.

I'll try clocking up the CPU a bit, and get clocking the memory.

Hmm, might do it.

I'm just under halfway there, just got a score of 10,482 so i'll see how it goes

That's really good. I get 9850 with my powercolor x1800xt 512mb PE and x2 [email protected].

wow i get 10,191 with my 165 [email protected] and my x1800xt pe at 700/800...so yours is awesome. what speeds you running ? also how about a 3d06 score ?

JonnyGLC · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:30

Most i'm gona get out of the card i think, i've gota move onto the CPU now and try to get some tweaks going

oweneades · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:33

hmmm beating my score by about 100 points. Need to do some serious tweaking now lol! I would have thought in benchmarks at least the cards will be practically the same in terms of performance. (ie at the same clocks).

hannibal2381 · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:40

how about 3dmark 06 scores ???

I'll download it and give it a run later, but i personally prefer 05 still for single card performance indications

hannibal2381 · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:42

what clocks are you running ??

JonnyGLC · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:51

739mhz/882mhz

oweneades · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:53

Ah your clocked a bit higher than me. I am only at 725 / 1680 (840)

X2 @ 2400mhz

hannibal2381 · 23 Feb 2006 at 14:56

are you on watercooling ?

JonnyGLC · 23 Feb 2006 at 15:06

Nope, all air cooled

I'll get a pic of the rig up in a minute.

hannibal2381 · 23 Feb 2006 at 15:10

wow with no voltmods or increase's ?

oweneades · 23 Feb 2006 at 15:17

The x1800xt has dynamic voltage increases which means you can increase the volts at a software level which is nice. It allows you to go up to 1.575 volts.

I am at 1.425 volts at 725-730 core atm although I never game at this speed , don't need it.

The X1800XT's cooler is pretty good I think. If you can tolerate the noise at max RPM then I would as it seems to keep it pretty cool. (mine according to Rivatuner hasn't gone above 53 Degrees at full load.

hannibal2381 · 23 Feb 2006 at 15:25

looking good there buddy

PinkFloyd · 23 Feb 2006 at 15:29

Nice scores here.

My play to slightly mod my Zalmon chipset cooler when I get an X1800 is out of the window, no way would it actually fit now.
Looks like I'm sticking with the bottom slot.
