OT, but you NEED to see this :)

I was fortunate enough to be able to snag a GTS Ultra.
The card came stock 250MHz core , 458MHz memory.
The memory does indeed do 500 MHz..
LOOK AT THIS!!! 😀
CPU..... AMD Athlon 1232MHz
3D Accelerator...... NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra
Chipset.... NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra
Resolution.... 1024*768*16
Z-Buffer Depth...... 16-bit
Frame Buffer..... Triple
Refresh Rate.... V Sync.Off
CPU Optimization..... D3D Hardware T&L

3DMark Result..... 9328 3D marks
CPU Speed..... 688 CPU 3D marks

Some initial Q3 scores.
The card is running at 260/500
Q3 is set up for the following in all resolutions.
32 bit color and 32 bit textures.
High geometry detail and high quality textures.
TriLinear filtering.
No other settings changed from default installation , in other word sound is on etc.
Demo1 was run:
640x480 148.0 fps
800x600 144. 2 fps
1024x768 123.1 fps
1280x1024 80.7 fps
1600x1200 56.1 fps

SilverBack OT,, noway!! how can one crack at less than 100FPS ; )

seriously congrats,, that looks great!!

Wow man, that looks like an awesome card! I still have my trust V3 3000 PCI. 🙂

 

[Sukhoi]

Dang DP. 🙂

 

[SSP]

F*ing nice.. 🙂

 

[RaySun2Be]

WOW!

I'm going back to bed so I can dream of a setup like this for me! 😉

Dang nice! 😀

 

[TwoFace]

Uhm... I tried to ignore this .... but I can't! 😱

You make me soooooo envious SilverBack! 😉

Nice setup tho'! I think I'll do as Ray and dream about it!

With love and respect your fellow TA member

SB, you dropped that athlon back down to 1232? why? i thought it was running fine at 1250 now?

 

[toph99]

all i can say is:
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmn
that's one amazing box 😉

 

[SilverBack]

Well Tetsou the benchmark shows it at 1232, but it still is running at 1250.
Wintune says I'm running at 1252, it's just a small varience..

 

[Tetsuo316v2]

you bought a gig right? does your mboard support higher multipliers than 10, or are messing with the fsb as well?

 

[Howard]

Motherboards support all Duron/Thunderbird multipliers. However, the multiplier determined by the CPU is limited right now by the golden bridges, which max out at 12.5. Hopefully by then, we'll have the next set of processors to jump the gap (Mustang, Palomino, Morgan).
