I'm not joking guys. tonight with my friends |ron and mafio I'm gonna have a some fun with ln2.
why not to profit of the longest night of the year? so, here we are...here in italy now it's 2:00 pm.
we're going to prepare the last details this afternoon, then dinner @ iron's and after...we'll be extreme.
we hope to do well. anyway we'll do our best as always. for sure fun won't lack. stay tuned and happy new year!

i've never had so much fun at new year's night.
here some photos, maybe mafio has even more.


rig to test the hd3870. from the beginning that board was a compelte failure...but nobody of us noticed...


mafio preparing his 950+classified trying to do a good 32m


3870 at the end of the test. there are more beers too


maybe @ about 6 o clock in the morning of 1st january...mafio never seemd tired during all night (on the left). |ron wa about to fall asleep




mafio pouring ln2 to keep the 980x (a damn crap sample) quiet while running vantage


|ron gave up. maybe he hasn't discovered yet what was the problem regarding the hd3870...

thanks for sharing but where's the results ?

Hi George, Simone forgot to put them
There hasn't been good results, especially for what concerns the HD3870: it seems that it was doing a lot less points than the normal, at air but even at ln2.
So, for example, we were at 1080mhz on the gpu, 1251mhz on the gddr4, aroung 5,5ghz with the 980x and we were doing around 28k at 3dm05... the other guys on hwbot are at 31k+.
We tried 7-64bit, XP, catalyst 10.10, 10.4, 9.4.... no way.
Any ideas?

As for the results with the 4890, here they are... around 85points on the bot:

Iron

Ehy pro! Yeah, a lot of fun, except at 8am when I was knocked out... Red Bull didn't work

Oh, and for the HD3870 low points issue, I tried also to change the bios, still the same.
I think that something's wrong with that vga, but still I can't understand what...
