Official 11.8 drivers got released, get them here: ATI Catalyst Or direct link here: http://www2.ati.com/DriVeRs/mobile/11-8_mobility_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl.exe <s> The official 11.7 AMD GPU driver got released, here you go: ATI Catalyst Also the 11.8 preview is available for download at guru3d: AMD Catalyst 11.8 Preview Driver download from Guru3D.com</s> Thanks goes to The @Revelator , I wouldn't even know if he hadn't brought the news about this. <s>EDIT: @Pursuit posted a link to the new 11.7 CAP for all CF users, see his post here. EDIT 2: Pursuit provided the links to 11.7 CAP2, check here.</s> EDIT 4: Pursuit again, provided links to 11.8 CAP ...he never misses one Thanks!

Kidnap their children. It's amazing how quickly that will speed things up. Works every time. -Ash

This CPU can really do crazy stuff when there's enough voltage and power (and cooling, lol): Vantage and the 1024M wprime were done at 30x, the 32M at 30x with a raised BCLK (137.8MHz).

LMAO that kinda reminds me of that

here is some stock 6990 numbers:

Hey guys, I'm about to design a custom heatsink for my system. I've got a little question and I'd like to hear your thoughts about this. As you probably know, the screws which are fixing the heatsink on the GPU are hold by two pieces of spring steel which get slightly bent when the heatsink gets screwed on the GPU. Now one possibility is, I could try to design the heatsink in a way that allows me to reuse those two pieces for holding the screws and fix them to the heatsink. The other option would be to just make a copper plate with holes for the heatsink screws. Do you think this would work as well? I imagine it'd require some care when mounting the heatsink on the GPU in order to prevent to much force getting applied on the die. I somehow think it may be difficult to get the heatsink flat on the die with such a design. What do you think? Are these spring steel screw holders necessary or not? Here's a pic in case you're not 100% sure what I'm talking about, it's the stripped down heatsink (no heatpipes, no copper plate, only the two pieces which are holding the screws are attached).

Best phone call prank ever...

I run 1.6v on my DaneElec value ram with 9-9-9 timings. Hynix ram chips.

Well, my runs were with dice as well, no chance that I can run 30x with a 200mV core voltage increase without extreme cooling, would've melted my mobo. I tried to beat his 1024M score, but it's pretty hard to find a sweet spot with the BCLK, it always crashed halfway through the test. 30x without BCLK increase was very stable, no crash.

hnnginsad Sorry for crappy quality, you can thank my Samsung Epic for breaking so I have to use a Samsung Intercept now

Really? I really thought 8k+ was doable lol.. (I didn't look it up).. And here I was thinking when I benched it on my rig when the game came out and getting 5.6k was a sad time for lol... Sadly still waiting for my M17x

ok I pushed the GPUs a bit further 3DMark 11 http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1579608

Just did the FFXIV Benchmark on my M17X R3 (Stock) and got a 3872 on the benchmark. 1000 means the game is playable. The benchmark itself has a very odd scoring system, and the maximum amount you can get is in the 8000+'s, BUT! The highest anyone has EVER gotten on it (even on the best rigs) is about 5k~ish. So 3k on a Stock M17X R3 is pretty sweet!
