3.92 GHz OC FX-57 Shatters 3DMark Records

[Viditor]

Inq Article

"Kinc scored 50,614 3Dmarks in eternal 3D Mark2001SE, 40,061 3Dmarks in 3DMark03 and sadly, Kinc couldn't manage over 20K in 3DMark05, so his score is a mere 17,560"

Sweet, so what?s the equivalent to a 10Ghz P4

 

[SonicIce]

This was without SLI?

 

[Pabster]

Nice feat, but none of us will get our hands on a 3.92GHz FX-57

 

[Buck Naked]

Thanks OP:disgust:
Now I have to clean the drool off of my keyboard

Maaaaate...I thought EVERYONE had a dry ice cooling system in thier rig. You mean you don't??

17k in 3dmark05 with a single 7800GTX? That doesn't sound right, it seems like that would be an overclocked SLI score.

Other than that. That's one sweet overclock.

Yeah only SLI should be CPU-limited in 3DMark05 . . .

 

[Shimmishim]

sheesh only 3.92? where's the 4 ghz 3d benchable cpu's at?



man, people were happy with getting 1M spi to run and now this at almost 4 ghz... simply amazing...

Kinc was using SLI for those runs. No way is that possible with one card.

Kinc was using a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-D, AMD Athlon FX-57, GeForce 7800GTX's, and Corsair DDR memory.

scroll down @ pic, has 2 cards also

Wow, i wonder what would happen if he were to drop a pair of the 512 GTX's in there when they come out.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Lol what would happen if you took off the LN2 all of a sudden . Seriously though, that must put that 7Ghz Intel to shame I saw a while back. However, none of those could possible be Windows stable.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

God d*mn! I thought my Sempron 3400+ OC was pretty fly

 

[jiffylube1024]

wow that's crazy! 4Ghz on an A64!

None of the speed records are able to run anything artifact free. They almost always freeze up or shut off before a stable speed is reached and benchmarked. Look at the people who got the X1800XT to 1ghz core 950mhz memory, they were basically only seeing artifacts, buts still posted such high scores because 3D Mark doesnt look at artifacts, just overall speed.

Yep, which is why 3DMark isn't the most reliable. There ought to be some form of validation that checks for artifacts prior to the test run and perhaps immediately after as well.
