Any configuration you'd like.
Latest version of Kombuster and Afterburner are below in the link:

http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/overview.htm

Here is a screen shot for single HD5770. Post your Kombuster score with the afterburner information as well.
Screen shots are preferable.

Hmm that's a bit lower than my 5770.

I'm even running at lower speeds. Unless it's 10.7. I doubt 400mhz from my CPU could make that much difference.

BTW is that water cooled?
 
Are you talking about Kombustor, or Afterburner? Becuase they are different things - Kombustor is just the stress-test utility.

I'm running a TR heat sink on my HD5770. One of these from below. I originally bought them for my HD4770s.

Not sure why your score is so much higher. I barely got the X58 MB and i7-930. Once I figure out the bios I'll see if I can improve the score with 400 mhz increase on CPU.

Very nice score for your HD5770. :cool:

I'm going to lower my speed of my HD5770 and voltage to your levels to see what happens, I;ll post a screen shot to see how it compares with your system.

Kombuster.

I posted the Afterburner screen shots to show gpu temps during the benchmark. I think the temps are interesting to look at as well.
 
He's got 3k points on you, and running at 100mhz less on the gpu. LOL. That's kinda funny. Try boosting your cpu to 3.2 ghz.
 
I got 43772 points with my sig.... with same exact same setting you have..
 
Didn't realize Kombuster could do benchmarking. Not sure why it used the weird resolution. Interesting that we have almost the same scores, even though you've got CPU and GPU speed on me.

I selected ATI 3d settings to optimal performance and my score picked up. I was unable to get my voltage as low as yours though. Might be the Asus TOP HD5770 bios I am running that has different stock voltage settings.

Here is my score with your clocks but higher voltage as required by my bios.

Here is same clocks as posted in start of thread but with lower voltage and running open gl 3 mode.

Very cool to see the screen shot of the massive GTX 480!!! :cool:


Some GTX 460 scores are needed. :)
 
did one same settings , using google as a host limited to 800x so had to cut it.

i can OC higher ( not stable but gl2 kromburster stable lol) but these settings seem to get the highest krombuster score. it crashes in 2-3 seconds in dx11 mode. for some reason GL 2 i can run at up to 960/2175 i just dont get a higher score. gtx460 that OC to close to 900/2100 are just beasts. i have a galaxy card 1 gig GC, i picked up with the BCB deal.

yes one card SonDa5

for shits and giggles im going to run this on my 2 8800GS's after they finish their F@H WU's.. and that is if nvidia's drivers dont go ape shit when i try to enable sli..

will update posts with results. :D

and here is the shits and giggles run.. to bad sli didn't work :(

Kombustor maxes out 1 thread in opengl2, so maybe it is a tiny bit cpu limited, in dx9 I get a higher score and less cpu usage.
 
I can't seem to get my second 5870 to do anything. I do get about 100+ more frames running the dual GPU vs single so it's doing something, but AB says it's not doing a thing with Kombustor as far as core percentages. If I play a game/run Vantage, both cores share the duty. (99% on both with Vantage.)

Any ideas why?
 
Looks like the gpus with more shaders score higher.
The GTX 460 shows off why it is the $200 performance leader.
SLI/CFX doesn't appear to affect final scores at all.
This is kinda interesting to look at, but I don't 'play' my kombuster benchmarks so it is fairly meaningless except for a fun comparison.
Let me know once bioware or some other game company starts using kombuster as a game engine and this will become relevant. :D
 
Running in OpenGL 2 mode only used one GPU, but still surprised to see a single 4870 core score so well against the 5770.

Running in DirectX had all 4 GPUs going at full throttle:

*Update*

If SLI or Crossfire don't work.......run it in full screen. I wish they had included that in the readme. :rolleyes:

woohoo my 8800GS actually beat something but then again im running 96 shaders vs 64 shaders on the 9600GT :p


hahaha, yeah i need a new video card. im running a 17" crt monitor at 1024x768. all the games i play are butter smooth with the low resolution of this monitor. 60+fps in BC2 with medium/high settings isnt too bad.

i'll be getting a new card and monitor soon.

yeah not bad.. get a better monitor too.. lol :p
 
.. and btw how did you get your voltage unlocked?

Go to the directory MSIAB is installed to and find "MSIAfterburner.cfg". Then make sure you change the 0 to a 1 beside:

UnlockVoltageControl = 0

And

EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 0

i tried this and still couldnt get all 4 gpu's going :mad:

doesnt work... still capped at 1.087v
 
i would run some other tests, my 460 at 900/2100 scores 39k+ i had to down clock my card below 700/1800 to get a score below 30k. you might be having some issue.

whats your score on vantage?

everything seems to be ok on my other tests, but its weird my kombuster score is so low

can anyone provide some insight?

I'm pretty sure its not CPU related...
MSI and Gigabyte GTX460 1gb in SLI (weird combo i know)
My temps might be a bit high...

i got about same score window mode, my 3d mark vantage demo expired.

unigine i get:
FPS: 43.1
Scores: 1086
Min FPS: 16.9
Max FPS: 106.7

1280x1024 FS
DX11
4xAA
16xAF
Shaders = High
Tesselation = Normal



i think it is processor influenced more because my score was lower then reviews that used i7's at same settings.

With the new 10.8b hot fix drivers. About the same for this benchmark.
