Vantage Scores

[Gorman]

I overclocked my CPU and GPU with the aid of a massive cooling system.

 

[Squalion]

Oh, Bloody hell, that looks amazing - very nice!

 

[PaulH]

Ok, GTX460s and Phenom on stock clocks

 

[Gorman]

So clock em!

 

[PaulH]

Bit of a shocker here 2 x gtx460 at 800mhz core (could go furthur)

There we have it....simply outstanding in my opinion

 

[Gorman]

Sweet, is the dedicated physx card still in there? or no room?

 

[PaulH]

No room mate, thats just 2x460s - scary huh?

 

[Gorman]

Nah as expected with SLI, you bought another then or borrowed for benches? Im pushing my 480 tonight.

 

[Gorman]

More to come. The temp doesnt seem to change

 

[PaulH]

Just borrowed for now, will be getting another, the FSP 800 keeps locking up though

 

[Gorman]

Right so this is about as far as i dare push it. I7 920 from 2.6 to 4.0. GTX 480 from 700 core to 910. Could you imagine the insanity with SLI?

I DO NOT RECOMMEND OUR CUSTOMERS TRY ANYTHING AS STUPID AS THIS. IF YOU ARE NOT 100% CONFIDENT NEVER PUSH YOUR SYSTEM THIS FAR!

 

[PaulH]

Amazing the 460's still beat the 480 even after that massive clocking of yours, if I had a decent PSU and the other 460 was mine id go for it even more (my own 460 i have sitting at 900mhz core stable) - Gotta love the way Physx adds to the CPU score, wouldnt mind seeing the 2 460's in your system - Quite tempted to get silly extreme and get an i7 with an EVGA classified now....I hate chasing numbers - I still reckon with your loop you could get a lot higher dude

 

[Gorman]

2 x gf104 vs 1 x gf100. 300 GPU points is nothing. I probably could push it further but im quite happy with that.

An extra 6457 Vantage points squeezed out of it. Nice. What do you reckon with sli 480, 35000?

 

[PaulH]

You could go really silly and just have a single 480 controlling physx only, see your CPU score go MENTAL

 

[Gorman]

i might take a GTS 250 for physx for the weekend....

 

[PaulH]

Go for at least a 260 mate, gts 250 its like a 9800gt

 

[Zeplini]

some nice scores

 

[Gorman]

yeah 9800GT, the original dedicated physx card =]

 

[Gorman]

Righto, i know theres some beastly machines arrived with people from the forums (alongside the tens of thousands we have already sold), lets make this more than a 2 horse race!, get benching people!

 

[PaulH]

They just know when they are beaten
