change that c0 for a d0 revision mate!

[luv2increase]

I have one C0 and two D0 920 chips running right now. The two D0 chips are B batches which both need 1.4v to attain stability at 4.1ghz, while the C0 needs 1.282v to obtain stability at 4.1ghz.

I got two unlucky D0 chips from Microcenter in Columbus. Unfortunately, they both need obscene amounts of vcore to be stable at a high OC. I have one of the best C0 batches that you could get, especially for an A batch: 3841A383

Well, next time, try running this benchmark with the settings on max.

Because you didn't turn DX11 on, and no tesselation was visible.

[luv2increase]

Notice the title says DX10. This was max settings with DX10. Hardware tessellation is only for DX11. I did a DX10 Max for those wanting to compare scores to their DX10 graphics cards.

If you want to see the DX11 Max benchmark, I made a video of that as well.

It won't let me link to it on my comments, so just go to my profile. It is there. Hardware tessellation as you will see causes about a 40fps decrease from that of DX10.

Isn't triple crossfire a total pain in the ass, driver-wise? I'd imagine you wouldn't be able to take full advantage of your 3 GPU's in 95% of games.

Nice dude nice I get 31 fps on 1 5870 and qx6700 @ 3.2 ghz

[yermommy777]

Disregard my last comment, I saw it had been asked already.

[yermommy777]

Why did you do it in DX10 instead of 11? Is it because of the 9800 you got in there?

[hexstaticleon]

how do i ensure i get a good D0 chip? im goining to buy one in one week from now...

[logitech4873]

A 40fps drop?

I hoped the 5870 had a some kind of processing device that would make the tessellation run without affecting the FPS :(

Then again, this benchmark over-tessellates everything. When you render in wire frame mode, some objects are having so many polygons that they're completely white.
