9700 Pro, What are you getting out of em?

toddsmack2k · Jan 25, 2003, 02:36 AM

I want to ask all of you running a 9700 Po what is the highest oc'ing you are getting? I am using Powerstrip and getting 385core 345 mem (stable) anything higher and it starts messing up. I have a reatil AtI Radeon. Anyone with any tips or tricks please let me know. I am just wanting an idea as too what others are getting out of them? Thank you

I have a watercooled saphire 9700pro. I can reach over 400mhz core. My ram just has copper ram sinks with fans attached to them and I can reach 351 with the ram. I'm sure I could go higher but I was acctually just trying it out for a little bit, I run it at the stock speeds right now.

Damn that's a nice o/c toddsmack! Mine hits 370/340 only after removing the shim and flashing to the newest BIOS

ICPGr8Milenko · Jan 27, 2003, 01:17 AM

I get 379/351 with artifacts, I bench at 364/344, but I have the bios flashed at 351/324.

DriveEuro · Jan 27, 2003, 02:10 AM

Todd... I thought that you were running some PC that had PC133 ram...... In some other thread you said that you were running PC133 ram.

toddsmack2k · Jan 27, 2003, 02:51 PM

So far at 385/340 i have hit 12149 on 3dmark without the newest bios and only a slot fan under the card.Hell lucky i guess

DriveEuro,
no i am running pc2100 i may have typed that on accident if so sorry. it is 2100 for sure thoughoh by the way keep on kickin my a$$ with that 4200

just installed my r9700 and going to determine if a clean OS install really helps or not when putting in new hardware. I completely removed all traces of my r8500 prior to inserting r9700. Now at all stock speeds with xp1700, 2x256 Samsung pc2700 (2.5 3-6-2-2T) and r9700 got me a 3dmark of 11950, 11938 and 11970. It is retail built by ATI r9700 pro.

toddsmack2k · Jan 27, 2003, 03:34 PM

I when i first put in the 9700 got 11,5xx-11,8xx 3d mark. oc got me up to what i am now. fresh defrag and use freemem helped a little also.let me know how the fresh install goes

shuki · Jan 27, 2003, 03:42 PM

OK but I'm not done with this install yet

Gotta get back up to my 195x9 running speed and see what she'll do

toddsmack2k · Jan 27, 2003, 03:56 PM

Nice score shuki, My 2100 and its inability to easily oc and cheap memory is what hurts me. My knowledge oc ocing(noob) probably doesnt help much either

. Bet when you turn it up you get some nice scores.seems like all these 9700's like some good overclocking

shuki · Jan 27, 2003, 04:25 PM

OK so as not to highjack your thread, I'll start me own

toddsmack2k · Jan 27, 2003, 04:29 PM

I meant Craig......craig said he was running PC133....sorry

toddsmack2k · Jan 28, 2003, 12:02 AM

okay got ya and that is an excellent score you got yer self

DriveEuro · Jan 28, 2003, 12:42 AM

Me? Thanks.... I'm trying to break 13K.....but I can't get my processor to overclock past 1700 for the life of me.

dipstick · Jan 28, 2003, 12:46 AM

360/350

toddsmack2k · Jan 28, 2003, 03:18 PM

heh, I know, I'm just getting greedy

It sucks cause my original card would do 385 on the core but wouldn't work in 8x agp. I'm happy with it though, 'till my R350 arrives

Dane Sabbath · Jan 31, 2003, 02:15 PM

My highest tested speed w/ stock cooling is 345 VPU / 333 RAM, which resulted in over 116fps in 3DMark Nature test.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=5306004

Temperatures at these speeds peak at 44deg C (101 f) VPU, 60deg C (140 f) RAM. That's w/ stock cooling and GOOD airflow over the unit. VPU has a slot fan sucking air off it's HSF, and the RAM lives in a turbulent airzone. I am reluctant to physically modify the card as I would need it to revert back to 'original' in the future, and there are no temporary cooling solutions better than the stock one.

I am curious to know what numerical (benchmark) benefits further speeds induce before I bother going further. Can anyone show me a good Nature score combined with it's corresponding VPU/RAM rates? Curious.

toddsmack2k · Jan 31, 2003, 02:37 PM

Check out my link on the previous page the nature score is definitely higher with a higher core value.

shuki · Feb 1, 2003, 11:01 AM

OK highest I can get so far is 15,292

that is with:
xp2100 @ 2370Mhz (182x13)
kx7-333
2x256 samsung pc2700
r9700 pro at stock 325/310
latest cat 3.0 drivers and dx9
winXP

toddsmack2k · Feb 1, 2003, 08:31 PM

nice score shuki! hehe now oc that card
