some prototype testing

Zardon · Feb 18, 2005, 10:39 PM

Well ive been busy this week testing some new unreleased hardware from various companies, and although I cant discuss it in any detail I thought id share a little intentionally blurred picture the messy driverheaven testing rig with some amazingly powerful hardware and a little benchie from 3dmark01.

The processor is the forthcoming EE from intel overclocked quite high (4.3ghz+), with 4 gig of DDR2 running at 800mhz and a video card from....well ........

Judas · Feb 18, 2005, 10:42 PM

i see blurry red!

Asmoday · Feb 18, 2005, 10:43 PM

OMG!!

Dark Lord · Feb 18, 2005, 10:46 PM

some ones got a prototype radeon.... lucky bastard.

The_Neon_Cowboy · Feb 18, 2005, 11:19 PM

Is it almost that time again? Woot! I know...

mike2h · Feb 18, 2005, 11:49 PM

so when do we get to see the real deal!

i would like to get my hands on one of those p4ee

how come you have the bus only at 800? mem thing? na, i know you have some fast ocz & god knows what else, so what is up?
sorry, saw the ddr2 thing that explained everything. pricey stuff.
can't wait for your review. really curious to see how ddr2 performs at higher speeds & how cost effective it is. they are really ramping up production so prices should start coming down in a couple of months.

The memory is 3:4 around 800mhz DDR400 the bus is around 1240mhz. 310x4 - sandra memory scores are around 8000.

Duranix · Feb 19, 2005, 12:12 AM

come on... tell us what gpu uve got there... i got my bets that its a x900

Sargentwhitey · Feb 19, 2005, 01:10 AM

Zardon how much can I pay you to take over your life?

Lowfat · Feb 19, 2005, 01:16 AM

wow. just wow.

itchy5 · Feb 19, 2005, 01:22 AM

bet my left nut is nvidia

lol

Duranix · Feb 19, 2005, 01:48 AM

nope... its red, so it must be ATI

itchy5 · Feb 19, 2005, 02:13 AM

FYI: I know that I know but i'm just not telling

you'll just have to wait and see
you will find out when ever ATI gives the green to do so! But it should be pretty self evident

Dark Lord · Feb 19, 2005, 04:59 AM

ive got a pretty good idea of what it is. im just hopeing its what i think it is.

man i was made up when i hit 27000

itchy5 · Feb 20, 2005, 12:35 AM

do you get to keep that GPU

Son_of_Thunder · Feb 20, 2005, 09:47 AM

in all honesty, that just made my jaw drop, which is hard because i'm lying down, and then it made me feel like crap. i know that in a few months that hardware will be out, and my stuff that i just paid 1000 bucks for will be crap in comparison. oh well :*(

edit

i'm knocking on 25,000 w/ my system...hmm...shouldn't it be a little higher?

well, don't worry man. your stuff is alot newer than mine, and puts mine to shame when it comes to gaming......but burning DVDs, i'll pwnt you

.

BTW Zardon.....nice score

Logla · Feb 20, 2005, 10:48 AM

whoa 40k+ Shame we dont really have any games that will properly stress this new technology.

Duranix · Feb 20, 2005, 11:03 AM

well, i get to say this.. im saving up all the pocket money i can get so i can get a new gpu

hopefully, the one that zardon has, or maybe the new nvidia card

its gonna take me... lets see...

32 weeks to get enough money ( not old enough to work yet)

Sandok · Feb 20, 2005, 11:21 AM

A new EE? The only new one I know is the EE 3.73GHZ with 64bit powa! Zardon, I hope that the vid card you got in there is the one I'm planing on buying this year...

40k....

And I can just hit the 20ks (barely) with my rig... I hate you

I just got one question. Can you do that same test with a stock Processor just to see what the vid card itself is worth?

And some 3dmark03 + 05? If you'd be sooo kind sir Zardon

CrapolaJola · Feb 21, 2005, 08:21 AM

I've seen plenty of 40ks, but not many with a P4EE, nice work Zardon. Please go buy an FX55 and crank it up to 3+ghz then rerun mark01

. As for the vid card it must be damn powerful to get 40k if an EE is being used as the cpu considering compared to an A64 which does a lot better in mark01.

Danhill · Feb 21, 2005, 08:26 AM

Hmmm I'm more intresting to see Futuremark 03 or 05, as 3D mark 2001 is quite cpu bound.

But nice score Mr show off

**dj_stick** · Feb 21, 2005, 08:57 AM

i don't think his CPU is a bottleneck here

No thats right.

Thats why I wanted to see some Futuremark 03 or 05 scores.

Yep, have heard that a very high oc'ed CPU/X800XTPE scored around 44K. (don't know if this is correct)

Why for heaven sake posting a 3DM01 score with such a card?

We are in the year 05 now.

Beng · Feb 21, 2005, 05:37 PM

An old 3DM01 record was already higher than 40K

it was settled with X800XTPE (link)

Because it was a taster not an indepth review, and im also not meant to be posting information on the card(s) yet. you lot are ungrateful !

yes im sure he did on phase, but I doubt he beat it on air cooling without overclocking the video card(s) at all.
