Duploxxx's 7300GT Worklog
 

Wel since I have some time left before holiday in a few days. Lets start with the basics :*

final benching Config: TBD: :no:

MOBO: Asus P5W DH (sold tomorrow)
CPU: E6600 (sold tomorrow)
MEM: Corsair Twinx2 Pro 6400C4 (sold tomorrow)
MEM: 4 x 1gb Team Xtream pc6400c3 (ordered)
GRAKA: Nvidia 7300GT ddr3 :ws: (arrived today)
HD: 2 x Seagate 36GB 15K/TR SCSI + Cached controller + 120mm fan (running hot when no active cooling near to it)
POWER: Seasonic 80+ 600W or Gamexstream 700W


cooling method: AIR

so by the end of the week, you'll have no system to test with :p

for drivers, also try 93.71 from the web http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html

I think the cooler on the left might bend the card a bit;)

yeah network was behaving strange......changed it :P

did somebody check stock performance?

i get a strange performance in 2001se for nature i only have 57,3fps on full standard system, can somebody confirm the score from his setup?

double post?

jmke, you're stock score is that without any tweaks?

3DMark2001SE
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9216332
GPU: 666 / MEM: 954 : 119.2 FPS
with stock clocks (500/747): 91.1 FPS

3Dmark03
(verification URL to follow)
GPU: 666 / MEM: 954 : 47.7 FPS
with stock clocks (500/747): 39.9 FPS

my 3dmark03 is normal, i got 41,9 fps

there's a slight (;)) change in rules, 4xAA no longer required, bench only with 1280x1024 (0xAA); also keep in mind that you can select which bench to run, you only need to run the Nature test; same applies for 3DMark2001SE, disable AA; you should get, at stock GPU clocks a score between 130~140FPS

I guess 16bit is not allowed? It gives a boost of +/- 15FPS, so 32bit should be in the rules, no?

default settings include 32-bit; nothing is changed except for resolution

duploxxx back from holiday :)

first run fully unmodded, only basic softw mods, very dirty system, not to mention the hardware....

3dmark01 168,3 fps. 662/809

looking at other results, my memory is crappy.

time for decent cooling and voltmod this evening. :D

Your memory is not crappy at all :) it wil scale good with voltmods!

and what you can do as well is cleaning the back of the card with some acetone around the mem and gpu ic's!

good luck m8 ;)

voltmods done and working with higher clocks :D real benching later on, looking for new bench hardware together with recent and new price drops :)

have to add the vcore/vmem measurepoints for easy access.




current cooling zalman 900, close call on the mounting with the high capacitors near the core.

looks neat, great vmod skills :super:

since nobody posted yet in this final month... it's the first of august :) time to get some benches started :D

bench rig almost ready

last 2 weeks of August will be my playtime;)

idem dito :)

looking forward what you can do :)

to start with new voltmods: (easier management and other's with clean mods)

current oc:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9241198
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5476170

3dmark2001 nature: 183,6
3dmark2003 nature: 74,3

gpu/mem 750/855


seems like i hit a big wall, looks like driver to me. need to change resistance a lot to increase a bit of performance

some troubles reading the vcore/vmem anyone can help?

Try overclocking with ATitool, helped me gain a few mhz.

thx, did the trick indeed.... 3dmark01 200fps already broken :naughty:
