Revelator Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) So, this is where you guys have disappeared to. Thanks for the pointer, Inap. Glad to see you have your name back. LOL. Don't seem to be getting much benefit yet from the 2820. Edited March 17, 2011 by Revelator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted March 17, 2011 Founder Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hey rev, welcome to the forum! It is extremely odd that ichime's cad has more shaders, at first I was ready to dismiss it thinking it was an R2 bios glitch but then his scores are also faster than ours clock for clock. I doubt he did anything to unlock it, more than likely he just received a sample that was already that way. It must have slipped past AMD somehow when they sent it out. AMD typically lasers out bad shaders and bins them as a lower tiered product and they likely neglected to laser the one he has.Edit: Yup I was right, take a look here, the same thing happened with desktops: http://lensfire.blogspot.com/2010/10/can-you-unlock-hd-6850-to-1120-shaders.htmlAMD 6950-->AMD 6970 unlocking thread: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=335318Since those bios files are for desktops, it doesn't apply to us and since Speedy already tried to flash his card with ichime's bios (original one I'm assuming) then that means ours are already lasered and cannot be unlocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Gonzalez® Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That means ichime card is a rare piece of hardware and can be sold on ebay for $1000 because no other 6970 will perform like that lol he is lucky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted March 17, 2011 Founder Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yeah it looks like he hit the lottery. That card of his can probably come close to matching 5870xfire with the right amount of cooling and overclock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted March 18, 2011 Founder Share Posted March 18, 2011 I did a 1024MB run with WPrime 1.55 today and while the mult was nearly at 26x the entire time and the CPU at 2600 mhz, the time to complete it was far below an optimized 920xm that's got the use of TS. Can those of you with 2720/2820 CPU's run wprime 1.55 1024MB with 8 threads and post your results here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Gonzalez® Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 And even more exiting he's card beat the 485m eyes closed lol, i run wprime just when i got the machine but i forget the score i will run it today when i get off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebarchuck Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi guys, I can't believe they allow speculation threads here. That's good news... Anyways, I will report my best M17X R3 OC score so far: 14,740 Uploaded with ImageShack.us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikimox Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Wow, those are some scores! Very nice, now we can finally see the true potential of the card. Any links to Ichime's runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneGRClose Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Here's my latest from my R3 with the 6970m/2630qm with a modest overclock on the GPU: p14,368 GPU: 13,590 CPU: 17,347 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 4, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 4, 2011 Not bad, you should push the memory further. It can easily do up to 1200 mhz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneGRClose Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah I will later tonight, Dell still hasn't sent me the right screen so I only had a limited time to jack the lcd from my kids and wife lol. Nice sig by the way, I started to think the 900p screen Dell screwed up and sent now had a bug in it lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 4, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 4, 2011 hahaha...that's what I was hoping some people would think. Did you try tapping on the screen? lol. Aren't they giving you a new build? I repasted my CPU/GPU and the temps are amazingly low. I've been playing Crysis 2 on extreme settings at 30-45+ fps @ 1080p with clocks at 830/1100.

DaneGRClose Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 LOL this is gonna be a public Face--->Palm moment but yes I even touched the screen lol. No they refuse to give me a new build, don't know why at this point. I now have to wait until tomorrow to contact the original manager who approved it as she didn't notate what screen they agreed to and they didn't have a part number on Wednesday to order the 1080/60hz panel "supposedly". Mine are running pretty good at 1080p but the strange thing is if I run at 900p on the internal panel it runs about 8-10 degrees higher. What kind of temps have you been getting on the 6970? I get about 50-75 on it at 1080p and 60-85 at 900p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In games, it doesn't even reach above 72C even with overclocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneGRClose Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Here you go Brian, this card is an absolute monster. If we can find a way to change voltages and add some a/c I think this could be a 15k single card :D Score: p14,931 GPU: 14,222 CPU: 17,555 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 4, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 4, 2011 Nice run, that's close to the highest I've gotten. I think with a 2920xm + voltage adjustments, the system could break 15.5-16k. It's too bad voltage adjustment isn't a possibility right now. I might try it again although I think the problem is hardwired into the card and we'll probably never have that ability.
