Congrats, you'll be amazed at the power of this card . Post your bench scores now. Make sure to update to catalyst 3.8

[Zynk]

I hate you :p J/K good luck hope everything goes well.

Still tweaking around with my settings, I got 4487 with my new 9800 pro :D

(2200-2500 with my 9000 pro :D)

4487, good, considering your specs. im up at close to 8.5 K in high mode, how? well, lets start off with my AMD XP 1700, its clocked at 3.9 GHz, but anything over 3.9 it crashes, lol go figure, my radeon 9800 PRO 256 MB card is also vapochilled, and oced to 520 MHz core, and around 430 MHz mem, this is possible due to the voltmods i have made. ANd throw in some OCZ EL dual channel mem (1 gig) and thats how u get my score :D

[jzhang]

3.9GHz?!? that's like almost 2.5 times the original MHz... lol...

i'm only on planning to get like abit over 7k in high res, that is IF i can get there... :sweat:

btw whats voltmod? :confused:

[lieb39]

Very luck. I'm stuck on a machine that can semi-play the game. Nothing like that tho.

Yea, I overclocked my FSB, and lowered my multiplyer (I don't have proper cooling for ocing, what is your cooling? NH2, or is it 4? I don't remember the chem name for it) and got 4569, my next goal is to get around 5000 :D then I'll be happy :D

CPU specs.

AMD Athlon XP 2400 @ 2.0 GHz (FSB BUS OC'd to 166)
Soyo KT-400 Dragon Ultra BLack ED.
2x (About to be) Crucial DDR 2700 (2.5 blah blah blah)
Radeon 9800 PRO (128/256 version) the 256/256 was too expensive XD
120GB 7200 RPM HDD (partitoned for windows, and backups, about to be changed)
80GB Hdd 5400RPM (about to be taken out, it's just got alot of backups on it.)

Sitting on my desk 40GB 7200 RPM HDD

Long story, but to make it short, I OC'd my FSB, and forgot to change the devider back for my pci bus and agp bus. and well, my computer didn't like that too much XD

how about a screeny or 2?

Why not tell me the exact volt mod you did for your card? and a 3.9ghz? on that kind of old athlon cpu?? That core you are on is not even a barton. which so far has gotten the higest OC results yet. On a p4 which runs alot cooler than AMD only a 1 ghz increase (give or take a 100 or 2 mhz) with vapochill is possible. Yours is almost a 3.0ghz increase. You must be pretty well known for those OC's. funny I never heard of you.

hey wat does the catalyst thing acualy do coz i was gonna get it but i wasnt sure

[InuTrunks]

Catalyst is drivers for your graphics card, makes it run better :D

3.9GHz?

How did you manage to get the processor 2.65 times faster than the stock speed?

Have to agree this does sound very ubbelievable, especially considering athlons are the biggest heat ovens... .

I dunno, my AthlonXP 2500+ o/ced to 2200MHz(3200+) has an idle temperature of 23.5º
