R9500np -> R9700pro @ 390/303

2014 pre-patch

I think I'm going to mess with ATITool's memory timings to see if I can increase my mem OC any more...

That's startling - what driver are you running Jigpu ?

W1zzard's softmodded catalyst 4.7. Lately there's been absolutely no performance increases for the R300 core cards, so I haven't bothered updating versions to the latest. Once the official drivers with A.I. come out I may try them, but for now these work great.

Hmmm... Sparked by that question I decided to update drivers and see what kind of an impact they would have. Looking through the ORB, I saw the Omegas were scoring a few hundred points higher than the official Cats (which the W1zzard drivers are except for the softmod), so I decided to try them out.

W1zzard 4.7 - 2012
Omega 4.10b - 2193 (wow!! almost 200 extra points!)


Delving further turned up a few more supprises. First, '05 seems to be a lot more tolerant of memory speed than other programs. My games will die at over 303, but 3DMark ran flawlessly at 315 (and possibly higher, but I haven't tested). Stranger still, even with all the new pixel shaders and other things thrown in to torture the graphics card, it appears that my poor CPU is still a bottleneck :D Check the numbers...

Omegas 390/303, CPU Stock (11.5x133) - 2193
Omegas 390/306, CPU Stock (11.5x133) - 2194 (1 extra point for 3MHz mem...)
Omegas 390/306, CPU OCed (11.5x143) - 2223 (or 30 extra for 10MHz on my FSB)


I think I need to upgrade my CPU/Mobo :p

That is supposed to be in the works . I'll pm the member who was doing it .

Well as you guys can see there is a new sticky for all 3DMark 2005 results which are part of our 3Mark team's effort. This thread will remain for the 'unofficial' results or resultswith beta or non-futuremark approved drivers etc .
