The other thread was getting a bit bogged down, so let's keep this one clean for the new guys that are looking for info on the team and the site...

The OC3DMark Team is a group of members from the overclockers.com forums that overclock our video cards for benchmark scoring with MadOnion's 3DMark benchmark software. MadOnion has an Online Results Browser (ORB) that databases millions of video card scores, and the members of the OC3DMark Team would like to get a few of our scores on the front page of the ORB.

Even if your score is not a front-pager (mine isn't, either, so don't feel bad :) ), we would still enjoy your company, so join up today! The site is http://oc3dmark.octeams.com There you will find the rules of the team, what you need to do to become a member, and a lot of other stuff as well. Some of the top scoring members share their secrets on tweaking their cards and systems, so make sure you check the database. Also, the Tips and Links section also has some invaluable information on video card benching/settings/cooling/etc, so be sure to look there as well.

Even if you aren't into o/c'ing your video card, we also run default scores, to help you see what the card will do stock, in case you are in the market for a new card and want to see the performance numbers on it.

Now is the perfect time to join! It doesn't cost anything, and you'll be on a team with some really great guys who will help you every step of the way.

So what are you waiting for? JOIN NOW! (http://oc3dmark.octeams.com)

I would like to acknowledge the new moderators/administrators of the OC3DMark Team:

Malakai

Any questions/comments/suggestions/etc. can be directed at any of these great guys or myself at any time, either via PM here in the forums, through email, or through the OC3DMark website. It's great to have you guys onboard! :D

Welcome to OC3dmark everyone! Hope you enjoy the closeness of the competition for 3d performance, the comraderie, and the ease of swapping of tweak tips with our members.

I'd also like to add that OC3dmark has a sister in the Folding@Home forum- OC3d. OC3d is a username that many of OC3dmark's members use when running the Distributed Computing project Folding@Home. Of course many people enjoy folding on there own personal username. OC3d is our way of storming the very top ranks of the folding@home community. If you're interested, check out the Folding@Home forum and look for threads about the project and about OC3d. OC3d is a distributed F@H supercomputer, currently composed of 80-some processors and ranked #22 in the world!

My status as OC3dmark MOD-

I have a few Ati scores to update on the site... rest assured I will get it done promptly. Haven't been home much lately, but I'll have some time soon and will be able to upload the new scores shortly.

<--- a new oc3dmark mod :)
patience please. No ftp client installed or any dowloading from my work computer under threat of prosecution and termination. So I have to do this when I go home, which sadly is only for a handful of hours each week.

I just got a sys admin job! But I'm not really qualified :( so its more like an internship. What this means as far as my status as a mod for OC3dmark goes is that, for the next three months I'm going to be shoving knowledge of networking, linux/unix, perl script and probably a thousand other topics directly into my brain via cat 5 cable, every waking minute (and I'll look into subliminal while-you-sleep training solutions too!). I have to meet certain training goals if I want to keep this job and advance to a more full-time position. I may become a scarce visitor of the forums for awhile and move over to more linux-oriented forums. :(

But overall I'm absolutely stoked :D about the work that lies ahead of me. I should be able to keep modding for OC3dmark for at least a few weeks, although I already have trouble getting regular access to computers I'm allowed to install ftp clients on (yeah, I barely get to use my own computers right now, too darn busy to even go home).

So pretty soon I may be giving up updating OC3dmark. I didn't expect this sort of thing to happen, but I certainly can't complain. I mean, there are worse things that could have befallen me...

Just one thing though, I don't think it has the most up to date scores. THe old page already had me at 13,132. don't know if you remember updating it last week.

Everyone, I made a boo-boo...I was uploading the new site last night, and I accidently uploaded the wrong database pages, which overwrote the ones that I was too st00pid to make a copy of :mad: so if you submitted a score in the past 2 weeks, will you please re-submit it? It probably got obliterated last night :(

Well i got my kx7-333 2 days ago, and im trying to get my scoreing up. Altho i can oc alot more on the kx7-333 and i couldnt on the at7, but the at7 got me more points on the same oc.
So i might try different kx7 bios, as i used an older at7 bios, the new ones that updated for the .13 cpus killed me in 3dmark for some reason. so im hopeing that might be my prob here.

But im up to 10,489 w/ a axp1600+/gf3 ti500

683points from the record axp/gf3 ti500 combo.

Wish me luck, as i think i have a lil room left to Break 11k again!

These are not my finial benchs im gonna submit, but i thought id share them. there not fully tweaked yet, as i have a good friend that im gonna ask to help me a lil. (i dont cheat).

http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4964758 10,489 max so far

http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4959246 9,680 defualt vid clock, 133mhz oc on the cpu, basic driver aa/ff turned off, NO hard tweaks.

Max OFFICAL bench i got with my abit at7 http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4665586 (note how low the oc is, yet how many points i got.. :/ )



EDIT: 10,554 marks :) http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4965319

Edit(2): 10,629 marks ;) http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4965815

Welcome to the team:D But you guys may noticed I haven't updated your scores on our site yet, and it was due to the following reasons(too lazy to pm each members :beer: ):

-Forum name and team title not included in your Compare Project Info. You must includes our team title(OC3d or www.overclockers.com) in the Name or Description column, or else we can't post your score to the team site.

-Compare URL not included in the submittion. You must includes a compare URL from the ORB along with your submittion, after you completed your benchmark, you can send it to the orb by clicking "Online Browser" on the score window, or if you have saved your project, simply send it to the ORB by clicking Online Service->submit saved project.

After you've corrected the problem listed above, please re-send your score again, and I will update it.

Thanks, and once again...

Welcome to OC3d!!!

Well thats what i thought too.. but my memory wont do past 180 slow timings, and past 170fsb agressive timmings.
id need like 185fsb w/ good timmings to get 14k+, but 12k looks to be it for me.
ive tryed upping the vmem to 2.92v and still wont do anything good past 170fsb.
@180fsb slow timmings i get over 500 points lower then 170fsb max timmings.
So i need new memory. basically the story. this memory gave me more then it was stated for, and i guess i hit its limit. :(

The whole point of defualt is w/o tweaks/oc'n. you run a default score, then a oc'd/tweaked score.

Sent this one over this morning as a new one. Don't have a lot of time these days to play but managed to get a small improvement this morning. The 8500 just continues to amaze me in what it will do. Of course this is not the fastest out these days but given the price/performance ratio the card is astonishing. Take Care all.

Yeah, the Abit is the board though the Epox seems to be able to hold its own with a little tweaking. Maxvla, thanks. Think there is a little more in there, maybe 11,800 or so. For the money a very good card.

Need to put together an air cooled system for Alabama so I can stay in touch with you guys. Needs to be on a budget and a little different than the 'norm'. Am working on some ideas however it looks like the slk800 is the sink to go with these days. Have not ironed out the idea yet. Ti4200 as it is the budget card, Antec 400 with the ps2 for future upgrades. Ram, undecided. Mobo, maybe an Abit if the price is right. Will make the rest out of what I can find. Now, where can one find a descent xp1600 chip? Then again maybe the xp2400 will fall enough before I get it together. Open to ideas.

Qwerty, good score on air guy. Would love to play with an xp2600 or 2700 but alas the funds are a little tight right now so will try to give the guys with little money some ideas on what is possible. Later All.

That is an excellent score there qwerty57!:burn:

That Custom machined slk-600 cooler is certainly doing the trick allowing your Ti to be clocked @ 363/791. :D

Mine will only hit 338 core w/air, thinking about v-modding and going with a water-cooled 80w pelt again.

Did you add any volt mods to the PNY?

Did you add any volt mods to the PNY?

yes v-modded just the gpu to 2.2v(up from a low 1.67v lol)
memory has always done 795 artifact free and will do up to 810mhz with minor artifacting if its in a mobo with a agp voltage selector in the bios that lets the agp run at 1.8v..


I really want to see AMD hits 17k with Ti4600...go get them

Ill push it again tommorow and see if I can run 12x202=2442mhz and 379/795 on the ti that should do the trick :)

we need some member with prommies to to run some 19k-20k benches for us :) . Im sure if silver graps a 2600+ or up and a 9700 with his pelt action he could pull it off.. I search the forums and see all these new 2500mhz amd machines and 3400mhz P4's with fast graphics but now big top end scores for us :) ...

11-16-02, 01:28 PM
Yea, you're right qwerty57, we have the ability among us here from several excellent overclockers in our forum to reach the 19k to 20k plus scores!

Maybe I'll get up off my dead arse and grab me a 9700 and get to modding my mobo and GPU like the good ole days!

I have the forum name at Mad Onion as GJTM8, and have led the orb on different occasions, and yes that's all operating systems, any MHz, any chip and any video card, #1 for all. Was the first to reach 14k in the database, so on and so on. Me and dj went back and forth forever.
Now I'm not tooting my own horn, believe me, but it takes a lot of time and dedication to acheive the top page in the orb and stay there, especially since the prometia and LN2'er's have hit the scene!

I have 226w pelts, 3 or 4 dedicated PSU's and several different water cooling setups at the moment plus the soldering stuff to go along with it, but lost some of my dedication and enthusiasm for high scores in 3DMark. I guess it's time to get pumped up and quit being so lazy and see what I can do.

I love gaming like a lot of folks here and that's just what I have been spending most of my time doing, but I need to buckle down and get back to work!
Maybe a new 3DMark would help. ;)

Keep up the good work people and let's get busy!!

155/206 fsb/mem 319/630 video/vmem

i'm at 2472mhz since i need the memory bandwidth i hafta lower my cpu o/c.

btw. there is noone with a p4 (any P4) + ti4400 with a higher score with a lower mhz. the slowest ahead of me in 3dmarks is 2536mhz which is 60+mhz he's only 14 marks ahead of me to

god. i am so confused on this ram situation.

ive got a TH7II in my closet awaiting rdram, yet i talked to larva in the memory forum and he's got ddr that costs 150 for 512mb that does 216mhz cas2.

to use my chip to its fullest potential (166mhz) i would need ddr that could do 221mhz. it would be quite a bonus if it was at cas2 as well.

the rdram would either limit me to about 150mhz fsb with the 4x rdr or the ram would be limited by my chip at 166mhz fsb with the 3x (which can go quite a bit faster)

arg!!!

if i had that ram at 221mhz i would certainly be well into the 14,000's if not 15,000.

edit: said ddr is Kingston PC2700 valueram.

Just reviewing some of the posted scores and ran into one that would seem to be rather dubious. It was in the 9700 area and seems to make light of the AMD processors in that Taxme's xp1900 running at 3050Mhz on a scalable GPU scoring only 16G+ would seem to be .....well, dubious. I would suspect that the cpu is in fact operating in the range of 2050 rather than 3050Mhz. Just a note of correction possibly.

Where are the guys with the 9700's and xp2400's? These two in combination with an epox or abit should be cresting the 20g mark. Hate to think that it is going to take a xp2800, nforce2 and fx to see someone here over 20g. I know that there is a lot of talent here. Come on guys. The Intels have all the top spots.

well after nforce2 try outs Ive came to the conclusion that the nforce2 though faster at 166mhz fsb by 500+ marks still is only a little faster 100-200 marks at max speed compared to my abit kx7-333r, so I might just install my abit back in return the mobo sell my ti4600 for $100 dollars and grab a 9700 again after all..

The video card starts getting little tears in the picture when I go up to 189/189, so I'm keeping it at 184.5/184.5 to be safe. The highest I've ever taken my CPU is 1257 mHz, with an FSB of 114 mHz. I don't know whats holding my FSB back; the fact that I have a Duron CPU or my video (PCI card!) may be cutting out because of whacko PCI speeds at 115 mHz FSB and up. Does anyone think I can take this higher or should I tweak up my RAM timings? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Yea Maxvla, now you have to aim even higher:D
Will update your bios today after work, and got a couple of members to ask too. Will send the "formal" format to you sub, no worries;)

And oh yea guys, I think originally the team rules are to let the top 3 scorers in each class to includes a bio of their machine. Now the situration is that some of the original top scorers have fallen out of the top 3.

I need you guys to vote on this. Should we keep their bios even though they have fallen out of the top 3 spots? Or should we take them out?

Thanks.:D

OC3d now has a page thanks to gtsimmo! For those not in the know, OC3d is the username that more than a dozen of OC3dmark's members use for the folding@home DC project. Check it out here: http://www.geocities.com/gtsimmo@sbcglobal.net/ And bear in mind its still under construction...

Takiwa or Kato: Can we get a link and a news blurb on OC3dmark's site? If you guys have a banner for OC3dmark, we'll put it up.

12-04-02, 11:42 AM
Ok guys, rather than pm all members, I will post it here.

If you are one of the top 3 scorers in your class(check our teamsite for that), please pm me the bio information in the following format:

Real Name:
Forum Name:
Machine: As detailed as you would like to be...you may include pictures

Video Card
Make/Model:
any mods:
cooling:
driver:

Tweaks: Programs used, settings used, etc. Try to be detailed here, this is what will help others the most.
Comments: Anything else you would like to say about your machine, your score, tweaks, tips, etc.

Once I've received your information, I will update them to the site.

Thanks!!!:D

i say let everyone have a bio if they want one. someone may have a killer mod on a ti4600 but be limited by an athlon 1.2ghz chip making their overall score not high enough to get a bio. (just dreamed that up but it could happen)

possibly have in the member updates section a spot to update the bio as well as the scores. that would make it easier for you to collect data.

Its cold and my comps are in the garage. I've been moving about a lot and working fill-time x2, plus studying on the side.... but at last I think I can squeeze some time for benching. I own 3 custom palomino PC's now. AMD reality check comes to town tomorrow, and I'm gonna drag some friends and see if I can't win something. So I think this weekend I'll make time to run some benchmarks on my main system (8500) and on my lesser box (almighty TNT2). Alas the 3rd box is pure linux so no 3dmark.

11k is long overdue!

Good to hear you are back Arkaine:D

And guys, I have a new idea to our site.

Since its impossible for me alone to keep track of every scores, after they are posted, I would like all members to keep an eye on the database for me.

When you are browsing the database, and you see a score that isn't valid, or isn't following our team's rules, please pm me, so I can take action. This way our database will always be up-to-date, and we can be sure all of our scores are valid. Thanks a bunch!!!:D

And with the NF2 finally coming to the scence, along with the Tbreds, I'm expecting to see lots of new scores from our team, right guys? keep benching!:beer:

Yay! I got 1812 3dmarks just a few minutes ago! FSB=112 CPU=1239 and GPU=168.6/168.6 (stock is 164.5/164.5) I have my RAM set to the most agressive timings available and it's still stable! I really don't think this can get much higher though, because any more OC to the video card causes tears in the picture. If I bump the FSB past 113, it won't boot at all! Even with RAM timings loosened! My eventual goal has been 2000 3dmarks but it seems I may not get there... Unless the PSU is the problem, which I'm replacing soon. A new one may allow a further OC :D

Whenever I run 3dmark at 198FSB or higher, 3dmark closes out by itself right after Test 1 starts. No lock up or anything, it just closes out. What do you think could be wrong?

memory timings/or non enoght voltage or just to high fsb for it to take. cpu overclocked to much and or not enough voltage, gpu/mem on vc oc'ed to high and or not enogh voltage.. the first two cpu and system memory and or fsb more than liky the cause..
do what i do...

post at 133mhz fsb and defualt cpu speed max out the vc to the absolute max before articats or lockups. my card will do 3dmark at 372 overnight core but at 373 loclup right away.. next drop multi and find max fsb by running prime95 for 30min.. same for cpu prime95 if you meet all pof those 100% for sure usally 3dmark will complete

I haven't posted my benches with the 9700pro for the team yet. My KX7-333r is crippling the 2400+. FSB at 180, no fast ram timings other than cas 2, no fast or ultra cpu decode. 15k9 3dmarks. But the 8rda just came in and I'm backing up my files so I can tear apart the raid array and start over with the new board. I'm getting the parts for the vdd mod and I've already beefed up the NB, SB and mosfets. I should have the time to install this thing and run some benches in a few days. I'm hoping for mid-17k, and if I don't get it, I'll get a couple of twinMOS sticks and try dual channel. I also have a 2100+ lying around and it may just OC better than this 2400+. I'm dying to find out!

02-05-03, 08:58 AM
With the new mobo plus your videocard, I think you can shoot for 18k, and 19k for 210fsb+:D

Arkaine23
02-05-03, 09:13 AM
I'm not sure how it compares to ATI-made 9700pros. Its not really a fair comparison to most in any case, with the side panel fan, winter-time cold garage, tweakmonster ramsinks, and retail AMD HSF. But it is nice! :D

This KX7 is just sucking for Tbreds. I got slightly better scores when I had a palomino 1800+ @ 1785 (198x9.5) compared to the tbred @ 2250 (180x12.5). Ram timings, FSB, and cpu decode really help make a good score.

I don't think my corsair will do much above 200. Its rated PC3200 cas 2.5 ram. Bought a week before Corsair introduced the PC3200 cas 2 stuff. :( Still, I just got paid and extra ram shouldn't be hard to swing.

Woot, I'm still number 1 in 3DMark 2001!:D

This shows there's hope for noobs like myself. I had never tried watercooling or volt-modding untill about 2 months ago. Look where I'm now! Thank you CATCH2PLAY. (He's a really good voltmodder)
Read all the info about overclocking, tweaking and modding you possibly can. Then read some more...
Then try it out for yourself if you feel you have the guts. It's really fun when it works. (Maybe not that fun if you fry your 300$ card, though... :o)

I could probably manage even closer to 21k points if i formatted. This score is with Catalyst 3.2. Too bad I do not have time for another format right now. I have to sell the rig in a week or two because I have to join the army.
I think I'll be back in a year from now with a new (hopefully) top score. :p

Hey guy's.

My 9500 just broke 6k in 2k3 yesterday! Then I rebooted my machine and had massively messed up screen graphic's and I thought oh S&^@........

But all is well, turned down Vref a bit.

#4 on the ORB overall right now:p

OC3DMark Team,
Hi. I finally broke down and purchased the rights to my first benching program and I would like to represent our forums and your team. I couldnt have gotten my sytem and card too where it is today without the help from this community. Im using 3D'03 and a 9600pro. My system has been tortured for 15hrs with prime95 and 12hrs with memtest86 test-5. At the moment, Im having trouble joining however: OC3DMark Team-ATi (http://oc3dmark.octeams.com/join%5Catisubmit.html). Let me know when the page is back up and I will sign up.:)

If a link doesn't open with Firebird, right-click the link and select open in new window and it will open.

Here is my new R9800 pro score. I am in first place by almost 200 points when I do an approximate comparison in project search and compare.

I sorta wish all the tests wouldn't be needed. I spent about 5 hours straight getting my top score, and I didn't even think about all the rest of em. This is the only 3dmark team that I've seen that seems to put more emphasis on real-world stability than pushing your hardware to the max. If you're benching competitively, or towards a goal, stability is the last thing you think of.
