Like I said very comfortable overclock at 700/945 using CCC. Maybe more headroom on the GPU using Rivatuner and modding, etc.
Bought on 2/1/09 for $85. The lowest I can go is $65 shipped. If I can't get that I'll just put it on ebay.

3DMark06 - 11614

BTW, I hate 06'. The cpu test is completely bent toward quads and not ACTUAL gaming performance. Futuremark is definitely trying to promote sales for Intel and AMD with the whole your scores are too low compared to common system and especially fastest system, so go buy a quad so you can be HE-MAN, Master of the Universe again.

yeah. but it's because it's kinda outdated and it's showing it's gpu bottleneck. you should bench on vantage then.

I hardmodded and softmodded my third Sapphire 4830 today and noticed some strange things. Even though they are exactly the same with same ram-chips this card stops at ~1120mhz. 2.00v or 2.15v both give the same result. Anyone that has had the same experience? This really puzzels me...

If it was on the same PSU and mobo, that could be why. Perhaps the voltage you are getting isn't clean enough to go higher. I suspect that on my board as well, since I have the exact same clocks as the MSI 4830 I had before RMAing (yes this is a different card).

Let's start a vantage gpu score list then:

P6156 for me.

It is the same PSU and mobo but as I test my cards one by one I don't think it is PSU or mobo problem. I can run two good cards in CF @900/1300 but I cannot run the bad card alone at higher than 900/~1100.

I will try to get the time to run Vantage aswell. That will be interesting as I have never done that before.

gerikoh

that's with physx on ayt?

i guess that's just about right. but try games.
