7900s - How Far Can You Overclock it? | How High Can You Score?

[compgeek89]

Well first Ill give you the clocks:

800/1000 for AM3
800/1000 for 3D 05
800/985 for 3D 06

Let me take a shot:

About 13k (12,700?) in 3d06 (Link)

21k in 3d05 (couldn't find it on XS)

 

[compgeek89]

mmm, very good guesses, got an AM3 guess?

BTW, 12795 ~= 12800

am3: 205,000
3d05: 23k
3d06: 15k

Yeh... oops

Wow, you flatter me, havent quite made it there. That would be the WR in 06. And with only 79GTs...

 

[DidlySquat]

See sig for rig........I score a little above 6000 @3DM06

hehe, well i figure 4.0Ghz Conroe and dual SLI 7900GT at 800/1000 should be tehpwn!

 

[compgeek89]

3D06 is actually almost completely GPU limited, CPU only helps the CPU score. :Q

AM3: ~192,000? (Link)

BTW, I visit XS.

 

[compgeek89]

AM3 = 199311

EVGA 7900GTCO at 691/1800

3dmark05: 11035
3dmark06: 5467

Wow those scores are impressive guys. I'm recieving my EVGA 7900gt ko tomorrow and hopely have some time to test it after I start ocing . Makes me happy I made the right decision. Also, is aftermarket cooling solutions strongly suggested for these/my card? My old Sapphire in sig, needed a aftermarket solution.

If you plan to do OCing (like vmodding) or just don't like loud coolers than yes, aftermarket cooling is needed. On a 7900 that runs pretty cool, any aftermarket cooler will do. Vf-700, vf-900, NV Silencer (ehaust air out back), pretty much anything is a go and should work well. Also, finding something to cool the ram is also a good idea. It depends on the cooler though. The NV Silencers cover the ram already, while the Zalman's come with little BGA Ram Sinks to do the job.

Here's a couple scores I got using my Dell E1705 laptop with a 7900 Go GS clocked at 645/1200 (awesome OC for a laptop isn't it? maxes out at 78 C):

1. 3dmark05: 9227 points

2. 3dmark06 (my display is a WXGA so it can't run it at 1280x1024):
a. 5802 at 1280x800

b. 5347 at 1440x900 which is very close to 1280x1024

My OC'd XTX beats that volt modded 7900 GT 3dmark05 score by ~2000 points. I haven't tested the 3dmark06 results yet.

What kind of cooling are you using?

it better beat it since you're on WC and at 750+ clocks lol...impressive laptop benchies tho!

@ doctorweir, are you sure of your results?
I getaround 1600 in sm2.0 and around 700 in cpu test, maybe closer to 800
total: <4000
so hdr may be around 1600 too

I have a radeon 1900xtx

Yes, copy/paste from result browser

OMG! that 06 score surpasses my 7800GT SLI setup! (450/1050) and its a laptop!

 

[Ridesy]

ST,

I'd really like to see a link to 3DMark06 compare at this miracle 15K score!!!!

I know everyone is prone to exagerate, but you need to at least make it sound sensible!

The current record 3DMark06 score is held by a known benchmark nut (Kingpin) at 13,358 and he was using an AM2 socket FX62 at 3.676Ghz with DDR2 1000Mhz memory, 2 x 7900GTX cards pushed to their max on phase change cooling.

So please share your Intel secret and post a link to futuremark compare?

 

[compgeek89]

3D Mark 2006: 12,795

3D Mark 2005: 21,311

 

[Ridesy]

compgeek,

Vey impressive!

12,795 from GT's not even GTX's!

You must need a full size movie screen to stress them out fully!

Ridesy

 

[compgeek89]

took a lot of vmodding

 

[mikek753]

would you also add for how long you have your OC card worked without any issues / artifacting?
More then a month or two at that clocks?
Or you just OC card to run 3dMark and then clock it back? not likely , but ...

tnx

 

[compgeek89]

Ive had the cards since april I think, cant remember when i finally got the step up

Havent had any issues during this time.

Haha yeah these 7900 Go GS video cards are overclocking beasts! Mine tops out at 650 for the core but I haven't maxed out the memory yet so I'm sure I could squeeze out an even higher score if I wanted. I got REALLY lucky today and scored a Dell M1710 laptop with a full 7900 GTX (24pp/8vs) for $2100 shipped! I already got an RMA authorized to send the E1705 back. Whoever gets my system from Dell refurb will be one lucky SOB because I've replaced the original crappy heatsink that came with the 7900 GS with a dual pipe heatsink that cools it around 5-10 C better.
