ever since on this forum, seems i became nerdier and more competitive. anyways, my recent accomplishment was installing a VGA silencer 3, flashing to XT, overclocking to 459/780, and scoring 2852 in 3dmark05. i'm using the omega drivers 4.10 beta. the new ones got WMV acceleration 😀 cut my CPU usage in half during playback.

I have a 9500. Guess that's not all of us after all.
Nice overclock.

That's a kick in the balls to every 6800 Series owner...

i'm talking about the "spirit" of the adventure . . . . not the "details" of the precise journey. 😉

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out whether you're ripping the poor guy or not, with your excessive use of rolling eye emoticons.

:roll:

Yes, your excessive use of rolling eye emoticons in these forums, not just this thread. I thought that would be the obvious implication. They give off a mixed message. As for ripping on my post, I can see that. I hope you feel like a bigger man.

appopin, have you considered putting emoticons in your sig so you dont have to type it out each time 😛😉

it is at the extreme upper end of most air-cooled o/cs . . . . . my Xt will only do it - briefly, without artifacting - when my case is super-cool.

And yes, i have considered it . . . . No way
:roll:

i really don't care what you think of my posting style. i guess it make you feel "big" to pick on someone elses style since you brought it up.

"Mixed message" . . .. i don't think so, since you are the only one to appear confused.

i ripped on your OT post here because it deserved it.


 
I don't mind your posting style. But, like you said, you don't care. I'm not picking on you. Look at your post. You're giving the guy grats, and then rolling your eyes. That's a direct implication of sarcasm, whether you meant it or not. I know better, because I've been here for a while, but a lot of others won't. I've seen other people talk about this with you before on these forums, so it's nothing new.
 
i'm using the omega drivers 4.10 beta. the new ones got WMV acceleration cut my CPU usage in half during playback.

Really, thats interesting. What CPU usage do you get when playing back the "Step into Liquid" 1080p file Here?

my CPU goes ranges from 40-80 compared to 60-100 before.

Thanks.....hmmm, looks like I've got some testing to do🙂

Well ATI doesn't have a HW encoder/decoder, they just use one of the pixel pipelines IIRC.

The shader pipeline is still hardware assist, its not software.
 
Not a very good score considering my 9700pro delivers a score of ...

2841

I did get a score around yours earlier ... but didnt update

I'd say your OC is past it's 'sweet spot'
(If you clock to high ,,, your benchmarks scores will drop)
 
I just did a search/compare on ORB at Futuremark.....

I have 5th place for any processor using a 9700pro.

I think it's probably the 1st place in Air Cooled 🙂
