****OFFICIAL AMD 6000 series overclocking and benchmark results thread****

We agree to disagree. For me, whether I own NVidia or ATI (and I have owned a lot of both), minimun fps is more important and noticeably distracting than average fps. Perhaps this is because I set Vsync on for everything. I find the importanct of min fps inversely proportional to that of max fps (which to me is meaningless), with avg sitting in the middle:).

And that's where your example becomes a problem.

I also have a minimum of 60fps VSync policy but its also means the AVG & MAX became irrelevant if your able to hold 60fps because 60fps will be our min avg & max because we have put a limiter on it. but the avg is more important for people who cant hold a constant 60fps.

An avg of 50fps & min of 10fps is better than an avg of 30fps & a min of 15fps
as the avg of 50 is playing at a higher avg fps for longer than the avg of 30fps

I agree so that's why I judge minimum FPS by reviews that show the FPS timescale.


HOCP are great for this.

Yes and that why i like their reviews, to me it is better then just numbers
 
What, great at benching cards at a res that is clearly too high for them?! :rolleyes:

Still think they're the best reviews though. :p

Two of the cards are getting 30 FPS+ that's not exactly slow considering the human eye only picks up at aroun 24 FPS also at that res you can afford to turn down the AA (or use MLAA).
 
Ok here we go...

and finally as above but with gpu at 1000 and mem at 1200

The last run needed the fan set manually as the auto profile didn't ramp it up fast enough to prevent it glitching otherwise.

Not bad heres a 5870 with 1000 and mem at 1300 not too far off!

For comparison purposes, 480 @ 880 core, just for benchmarking, 850 24/7.

a comparison for what the 68** are not competing against the GTX480.

this thread is for Amd users to compare and submit their results, like i said there are enough threads,posts,forums and tests all about the gtx 480's as they have now been out quite a while, i only want to see 6000 series results and some 5850/5870 results for comparison.

Nvidia cards do not belong in this thread and i'm pretty sure you've done it on purpose just to wind me up,

Like i stated i do not want the thread derailing from it's core subject which was ****OFFICIAL AMD 6000 series overclocking and benchmark results thread***
 
Will do,

Just checked My Orb and saw my last run in 2008 on a 512mb 4870 with a C2D Quad running at 3ghz = P8922

Can't wait to bench the 6870 against it.:p

Good to hear which 6870 did you get?

i'm hoping you got the sapphire unless trixx will also support the asus cards as asus are still using smartdoctor for the 6000 series and we all know that software is poop
