ASUS 2900XT Benchin begins

[NH|Delph1]

Marcus is looking very distinguished sportin' that extra facial hair.

How come I don't see you?

I'm just trying to hide some of the extra weight I've been puting on lately by changing my apperance in some way Need to take a brake from all of this soon as it feels like I'm having two full time jobs atm. My day job (45h/week) and all of this pc hardware stuff. No time to work-out and to much partying on the free time that I have

[Gautam]

Ha- you sound just like me. I don't understand at all how you guys at the top manage to bench like this. A weekly session for me is already really pushing it, I'd go nuts doing it any more often. It is funny how the deeper you get into this sort of benching, the less you tend to bench (at the gym).

I take it you've graduated by now which is something at least? When I go back to school in Sept. I'm dropping this completely as usual, becomes 100% impossible. (Though you can't imagine the pain of sitting back and watching the ocing action while you know you can get free LN2 at your university. )

Yeah it sucks not being able to bench during the school year, but atleast it saves me some money. I bench weekly when I can, and that's enough for me, but then I don't have to worry about being at the top. It's been frustrating lately though, every time I go to get some LN2 their's some setback that keeps me from benching, either they're closed, they've run out or for whatever reason I can't get to the store. It's killing me. LN2s not cheap here either, I couldn't afford to bench more than once a week.

[Gautam]

My LN2 supplier closes at 5 PM but I usually work from 10-6.

[Stapler]

^That's rough, so far this week I've gone saturday afternoon, which they were closed, and today they were out. Hopefully tommorow I'll have some more luck.

I actually dropped out of school, I got a job that works out good for me. It is probably not permanent but I am happy for now. I can imagine that pain very well

To get back on topic here is a few pics of the rigg that i took with my cell on the rigg just before the last run that eneded up in my new personal best in 05.



The humidity was very very high in the Hartwal arena where assembly were held.

That's all that counts then.

Looks very nasty humidity indeed!

Good to see HD 2900s kicking a**.

Now if only the HD 2600 drivers can stop making it perform worse than the X1650 series prior to it

Fast food plus trip to the LN2 supplier=lunch break

That are rev2s that elmor lend me. The rev4s are beeing mounted on the cards as we speak

Some pics from Assembly demo and LAN party which was held this weekend in Helsinki, Finland:

wow .. what's the red plate stuff on top of both cards ???

[Lane-k]

Eva you say the red part you can see on the LN2 session pics?

It's just the base of the stock cooler, we don't remove it on the 2900


Hey looking the pics sampsa, it was a real big convention..

[Kinc]

I have cut of the part that I needed from the original cooler to cool down the voltageregulation parts

[Kinc]

So I have tested the rev4.1s now nd the result is awsome

-70C both pots 1200MHz core at 1.48V np! never been close to that before. Needed 1.58V for that. Core temp is much lower and everythin is much more stable wihout the thin coldplates between.

I've made a interesting discovery for the X38 future in canyon flight of 3dmark 06:

1080 to 1140MHz core gains about 5.0 fps.
1140 to 1170MHz core gains about 1.0 fps.
1170 to 1200MHz core gains about 0.5 fps.

This was done on 145MHz PCIE freq.

Now at 1200MHz raising the PCIE freq. to 148MHz gained 1.7 fps. How sick aint that?!

Looking around for a good kentsfield to be able to run 06 full again. These test were done with 4640MHz cpu.

Oh KINC with these new pots you will now produce WR's every month !

Awesome results!!

BTW do you now how are looking prospects with Phenom CPU? If it can clock then you will have nice RD790 boards with full PCIe bandwidth for 2 or even 3 cards !

PS. Any chances for full throttle numbers this week??

Im out of ln2 and the QX6700 that is half good compared to the dead one probably wont hold for 26k plus since the system is so limited by PCIE. I will order in some more ln2 this week just to give it a try but until I can fins a new cpu I have mild expectations.

[Feichti]

Very nice Results Kinc

CF @ 2900xt rocks

@Kinc you have got a PN from me, not seen? or no i wount get an answer ?

Kinc,I have one question.How much you spend on ln2?
How much is one your bottle?

[Kinc]

Kinc,I have one question.How much you spend on ln2?

We have a nice deal with the main liquid nitrogen supplier in Sweden so about 15 USD for 30 liters. In 6 weeks time I have used more than 400 liters.

[quake6]

That isnt much,i can say it is a good job you did
And another question.How much did you pay bottle,just bottle without ln2?I`m looking to buy it,but the price is just too high,cca 650$

Yeah dewar price is crazy high here in sweden. New 60 liters that im thinking of buing is 1500 USD here.

[Gautam]

I think that's about normal for retail...check eBay.
