mw86 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 now i can't get the cclk higher than 830... hmmm hmmm hmmmm...some cards are different if these can do the same ranges maybe run cooler if benching... if you want it for gaming at that than it may not be possible... depends you really have to ply with the speeds... sometimes these cards don't like round numbers but odd one my first 6970m's like 822 higher and they ran really hot comparatively and wasn't good over that for stable gaming in the long term (hours long session wise). max my 6970m's did benching was 850 and crashed every time mostly... 845 was bench-able for me easily but running cool and 822 for gaming stable in all games for me even maxed AA and etc so that it was bogged down and hot.... i repasted my gpus without thermal pads but ICD24 on the vram and anywhere i saw the pads. the core obviously was repasted... anyway at 822core and 1100 something vram it never went over 76C for nearly a day straight of fully loaded BF3 and Skyrim (ultra all option maxed) Play around your going to find a speed that stays cool and fast and going higher gains very little... and for going that extra distance in benching its important they are staying cool... what does hwinfo report your max temps as after benching and gaming etc.... if vram or core is hitting 90c your really due for a repaste. under 80c is a good range 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 okay. well sometimes after the vantage bench freezes i get some display driver reinitialized becuase the driver didn't react anymore from the tasktray of windows. the temps don't go over 75c (acoring to HWiNFO) doing benchmarks with HWiNFO maxing the fans manually the whole time. what i noticed is, if running vantage while HWiNFO max fan blowing is on, it crashes almost always at the graphics test 2 (that space ship stuff). i just did a successfull vantage run @ 843 / 1230 scoring 17059. want more though at the moment i don't even have a game installed yet, just playing with the benchmarking atm. i ordered ICD24 to do a repaste anyways, i just don't like this dell-standard-crap-grease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say its just because of vantage those tests some are worse than other... test 2 must be a good tell tale of your overclock handling... 843/1230 is great...

deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 yeah i know, im not blaming WFiNFO, i just wanted to make it clear that i do the bench now with the fans maxed out due to GeoCake's very useful suggestion =) but i will check the configuration anyways, just to make sure everything is set as it's supposed to be =)godd@mn, it won't stop snowing here!

mw86 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 cool yeah looks like your doing great thus far i hope you get the ranges you are looking for. Maybe if your mem is closer to 1175 maybe your core can go up... overall voltage draw causes crashing and if your prefer the core being high perhaps it will help it go higher... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) yeah not bad but as always, never happy haha thx, i didn't think of that yet...d'oh.... will try to see what happens Added after 5 minutes: it crashed using 845 / 1175. maybe it will help as soon as i get the ICD24, maybe it won't and the card just doesn't want to Edited January 31, 2012 by deadbydawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 so i was doing able to do a 850/1170 run with 169xx something as score, so i guess i'm calling it a day benchwise with the 17059 and wait until i did the repaste as soon as the ICD24 has arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoCake Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 thanks so much man! it worked as you said!!! onlything is that it shows catalyst version 11.10 instead of 12.2, and i did it exactly in the order you said. i will post a pic tomorrow, as i will catch some zz right now =) the driver is 8.59 though =Dsooo, talk to you later and thx a lot again! Yay, ^__________^ Does switching work for you too now?CCC showing 11.10 is just a bug - I've had it before. It's clear from the rest of your screenshot that you're running the latest version of everything Also if Vantage freezes (just hangs and/or goes to black screen) for you, trying re-installing the latest Adobe Flash Player. It sorted my freezing problems believe it or not ! Ramp the fans to full on HWINFO and then wait till the card is about 35 degrees then run the bench, good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 yeah, switching works as well ah i see! cool man! haha, i will try this right now ^^ but i believe it's my card which is at the point to say nay )) okay, will try and report back hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoCake Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Usually if you push the clocks right up you will see artefacts and mini stutters meaning that it's too much for the card to handle.. then you will get the ATI driver has failed/crashed message in Windows. The crashing I was getting was somehow related to the flash player =/ where Vantage would just freeze and then go to black, weird stuffAnyhow, your card should do 850 minimum!

deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) yeah i got that message a few times also. but other wise, it will just freeze, then go back to the vantage windows saying "device removed"..Added after 8 minutes:so i reinstalled the newest flash player, maxed out the fans, let the card cool down to 36c and tried to run a vantage run @ 847 / 1170. it froze after around 2 minutes, then went back to vantage showing "device removed" and windows showed in the system tray amd display driver didn't react, was restarted. maybe just the card bitching out..

GeoCake Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Indeed, that does sound like the card is bitching out .. xD Nothing much you can do there to be honest! Anything 16k on GPU is beast if you ask meTry it later/tomorrow from a cold boot. Edited January 31, 2012 by GeoCake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 hehe, yeah i know the score is good, but i'm never satisfied anyways thx a lot dude, will do that that, and wait for the ICD24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 i still got the old 17x-r3 @ work (they didn't pick it up yet). i was thinking to install vantage and the new drivers on it tomorrow to see how much that card can do (but as i remember, i wasnt able to even hit 16800 with that system. if i think about it j will just let it be, i din't really feel like seitching the cards and in the end the new system doesn't run as good as it does now anymore ^^---I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=47.570017,7.590340 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 i just tried to do a vantage run with the notbook sitting on the floor of the balcony...it's -11c outside and the graphic card cooled itself down to 29c. i still can't do avantage run @ cclk > 845, it will freeze even though the temps are more than fine, then the graphicsdriver won't respond anymore... i was hoping to vet something out of this test, but oh well =)btw: did it ever happen to one of you guys,that the 17x-r3 will not boot on battery? the alienhead (powerbutton) will glow, the after e few seconds, u hear the hdd's power down and the light goes outagain. then, if you plugin the ac, it will do the same thing againwhen you press the powerbutton, but it will boot after the lights went out one. =/ had that on my old machine as well!

Founder Brian Posted February 1, 2012 Founder Share Posted February 1, 2012 You need more voltage on that card deadbydawn. Since you're in switzerland, you should go visit svl7 so he can mod the card for you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 ^^ i might just hook a car battery up to it haha --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=47.562662,7.611152 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 i'm decided to do the vantage tests on my old m17x-r3 which will go back to dell. if that card can take a greater oc, i will exchange the cards snd hope that it's the cards which make the difference.

deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 so it crashed using 850 / 1080. i get the feeling that there will be no need to exchange the two cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 okay so the old card can handle 848 / 1210 which my new card can't do in ages... so i will definately switch the cards this morning. hope the results in the new machine will be the same afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted February 1, 2012 Founder Share Posted February 1, 2012 If the old one overclocks more then the new one, then no harm in swapping.Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 did the swapping. 848 / 1200 scored me 17066 i like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbydawn Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 i definately like the old-new card better than the new-old one ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widezu69 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just proving it can be done. The 4.5Ghz 30k Vantage CPU score barrier has been broken. Dell are coming tomorrow with my new 580m GTX (3rd one LOL!) and I look forward to rocking out and maybe breaking that 21k overall mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
