Can someone check these benchmarks?

very odd, im getting it the other way, well sort of. 3dmark 11 works fine, vantage works fine on extreme but crashes on performance, but i will not let it beat me, i will finish a test with performance settings

ahhh so you have the full version of vantage i take it ?

GPU score is good! got an OC on that? I wish AMD drivers worked well with my second screen. I use a HDTV as a second display for blu ray and for what ever reason on 3 different models of ATI as soon as windows loads i get no picture on the HDTV

so far i havent had chance to play with the gfx too much, only upped the core clock to 945MHz (775MHz stock) not touched shaders yet. 950MHz was unstable, not sure if its a voltage issue or just the point its not happy. i know some people have got 1000MHz out of it, but maybe they have different brands or something. i know its not a temp issue as it doesnt go over 60 which i think is good?

Got it to run, its fair to say a 460 DOES NOT handle the graphics of this beast smoothly

are these test on just basic default settings?

yes on the free edition you cant change settings

lol just realised i didn't post the individual results for vantage so here they are

3d mark must like the extra rasters and bandwidth of my 1gb model over your 768mb as i've been running the card at stock (715/3600) for them.

stoke1863 · 29 Jan 2011 at 00:24

yea it appears that the difference in CPU is more then made up for by your better 460, by a lot more then i would have thought

hell ive had to OC my 460 to hell and back as well!

chipps101 · 29 Jan 2011 at 00:28

yeah those are some nice clocks you have on it

and my asus board i'm running was a big mistake also, due to the dodgy sata connector placement i had to get rid of my 4870x2

and get this gigabyte gtx 460 (or the zotac/gainward one) as they were the only highish end cards that were short enough not to block 4 of my 6 sata ports.
