Bjorn3D 3DMark05 Top 20

[Death_Incarnate]

Ok, thought it might be neat to see how everyones system fared with Futuremark's latest and greatest. Post up your 3DMark05 scores here and I'll make a list of the Top 20 from the Bjorn3D forums.

Test must be ran at stock 1024x768, no AA, to keep it a level playing field. No need to link to your Futuremark stats, I trust everyone here. Please include your Overall Score, and your overall CPU Score. Ranking will be based on Overall Score. Also, post up your system if you feel like it.

List will be updated randomly throughout the day.

B jones dont bother, the record is 7777 on the ORB with an overcklocked XT PE.

hehe to bad that a 6800 Ultra SLI system is beaten by a single XT PE ;)

get the feeling that the ATi drivers are optimzed "just a little bit" ;)

AND THE ATI 8500 SCORE IS !!!...


IDirect3DDevice9::Create{pixelShader failed: Invalid call (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)


That hurts, it wont even run : (
:roll:

[B Jones]

I've felt that pain before.

Yep, you've discovered the ugly truth from first hand experience Gray, they've pulled out all the stops with this one. NO backward compatability whatsoever. If you're hardware isn't fully DX9 compliant, with hardware support for Pixel Shaders up to 2.0 then it's a no go and won't run at all.

:roll:

Cheap DX9 Upgrade? 9600XT works well enough in my rig for Doom3 and Counterstrike Source. Seems to work well enough even the the Half-life stress test. There are other options of course and if you're willing to wait a while longer, there'll be all kinds of price drops coming up too. Unfortunately the hardware we buy today probably won't run 3DMark07 or whatever they'll call it. Endless cycle.

If you're happy with your gaming performance for now, keep the 8500 and wait for the ever eventual price cuts and get the best thing you can afford.

On the other hand, if you're dying to see what ~1500 3DMarks looks like, you could go with a Radeon9600XT. I couldn't find anything better locally than the AIW9600XT, that I thought would both 'do the trick' and fit my meagher budget.

[Reyawn]

Jones, what is ur CPU? I tested my BFG 5900XT OC with an Athlon 2200+ and 1GB of ram, with a KT333 based board. I would think that the 5900XT should be able to beat a R9600XT, but ya never know!

Guess not huh? :o

I agree that probably the processor makes a large difference.

I'm using the extremely affordable XP2500+ OC to XP3200+ speeds. It's running at an FSB of 207. I suspect it could go further though I haven't tried it. I find it plenty fast for everything, though a shiny new Socket 939 motherboard and Athlon64 3500+ would sure be sweet!

Updated 10/9/04 to reflect new additions.

[Victor]

man, thought about running the test. Just to find out that my graphic card doesn't even suport the test, (it's not a directx 9 card). That's just sucks. NOw I can't even get an idea how good my system is.

[ghidora]

With ATI's "Overdrive" enabled (boost the card from 499MHz to 506MHz), I get 5225/4905. Not a big improvement, but it sure did crank the chip temp up: went from 46C to 58C.

[XJnine]

When running this test earlier today I decided to see how high I could OC my 9800 Pro. I ended up at 461 core 367 memory. Pretty good jump on the core from a 380 default. I was wondering if anyone else here had a 9800 pro and what kind of overclocks they were getting. I have a VGA silencer on the card for cooling as well as some little ram sinks.

It would be nice to have all participants with both scores. I'll leave yours there for now, if you get the chance, run it again with the CPU tests.

Also: Added Fantasma and zhugeliang to the ranks.

I take it "we're" all runing the test at standard and runing video card settings at default settings?

[Death_Incarnate]

Test must be ran at standard settings. You can do whatever you want to your video card as far as overclocking, cooling, and things of that nature.

But I will own you all when I get my top secret new weapon.

I was wondering the same thing, especially after my similar system got similar results:

1238/3429 - all stock speeds

I'm confused how some of these 2+ generations old video cards are beating the 5950Us combined with A64s. Weird... I'm not doubting people's honesty; it just seems odd.

System specs for this rig:
- Athlon 64 3200+ 1MB (2.0 GHz)
- BFG 5950 Ultra 256MB
- 1 GB Corsair PC3200 XMS Pro
- Forceware 61.77, WinXP SP1

Soon that 5950U will be swapped out with a 6800 so we'll see what happens then, other than changing my expression from :cry: to :)

I'll ask around about getting this to be a sticky.

List was already updated, and I have thought about making it the TOP 20, but we don't even have that many results yet, maybe the TOP 15 first? I think keeping the number smaller helps to make it more competetive to keep your spot on the list.

EDIT: Yeah, I was really surprised at the crappy results I got. I even OC'd the 5950 and got only a slight increase. Guess we just have to wait for those 6xxx cards Chad.

[Krome]

Downloaded, installed, rebooted...killed some misc' prcesses and ran the benchmark. I have lots of room for tweaking. I set my ram timings too high a lil' while back and it reset my bios. I did just enough to get things back up and running but no speed tweaks and no overclocks.

I tried to submit my results but the connection failed.

3DMark 05 score 2052, CPU 3264

[Bernie64]

hi,
when I disabled the HT the scores actually dropped.
also new drivers upped the score quite a bit.
HT allows the CPU to work and run the GPU.
my guess is the A64 3200 is having to choose between it doing the work and delegating it to the GPU.
the HT Intels don't have that "problem"
what happens if you up the priority on the GPU in windows task manager? (make sure u don't crash the system)

when that Alienware w/ P4 3.6 is out of warranty, apparently they can go up to 4.0 quite happily if you got a good one.
but on Intel's web site they nearly got busted by the P4 3.4
makes me think its the first batch of 4.0's underclocked as everybody knows the first yields are not so hot. and its exactly 10% below 4.0
Ghidora, you folding on that rig?
its good for over 10,000 points per month.

still can't believe the X800XT PE beat a SLI combo, NVidia must need to badly update their drivers. (or they messed up-again)

does memory affect the overall and teh CPU score?
see they're up to 675Mhz DDR2 now!
my piggy bank said ni!

As in it's low or high? I think that personally my A64-2800+ scores pretty well IMHO - 3,587 @ stock speeds and 4,092 @2.02Ghz.

Compared to ur guys stuff it's ripping and I don't know y. Setup, RAM, Tweaking who knows? I'm just reporting what it gives me. I'm running SP2 that's about the only diff I c between us. I'll take a couple screen shots next time I run it w/ CPUZ up as well.

Well I have been complimented and known for my AMD set up skills since I got into AMD about 1 1/2 years ago. My 2500+ systems consistantly beat higher speed CPU's of bothAMD and Intel. Dunno if maybe it could b my RAM, right now it's running @225 w/ timings of 6,2,2,2. If u want something freakier I ran 05 this afternoon and got a CPU score of 4,382 (which I of course took a SS of), then w/out shutting the benchie prog down I re-ran it and got 4,675 :shock: :o I then shut down 05 and restarted it and ran it again and got 3,971. HOWEVER throughout the testing the actuall overall score stayed the same giving me 1,676, 1,678,& 1,676 over those 3 runs - guess the CPU bench side of things doesn't work so good, or I've got a freak system.

[Bernie64]

hi,
deleted unnecessary tasks, like UPS.exe, which writes every 2 seconds, and ran.
5100/4550 w/fps 23/14.1/26.2 cpu 2.4/3.8 (in details tab)
then, as P4 w/HT 3.2 has 1MB L2 cache, re-ran as expected pre-fetch to hit almost 100%
5086/4901 w/fps 23.1/13.9/26.2 cpu 2.8/3.9
the video card hit 62C temp, so its no wonder it slowed down.
will install new bios and catalyst tonight and re-run.
saved files but don't know how to screen capture, and free version won't open files.
later :D

[Victor]

well, I think even for most site's benchmark are done with clean windows installation without any background software and unneed drivers. So, we have to realize the benchmark that we run are not exactly according to the review sites. Our system all got tons of background softwares running and maybe lots of junk drivers, softwares, etc. So we usually should get lower score. If we really want to be exact compare just basic system, then we all should do a clean installation and run the benchmark.

You guys are so lucky to know what's your system's performance, Man, I really need to get a good card to run my system. Can't even run 3dmark05 due to super old graphic card.

Still a bit disappointing. ATi boards definitely own this benchmark, especially on the low end... [/b]

Allow me to provide any additional info as needed.

Sorry, made some additional tweaks. 2429/3581

[Cirrhosis]

What drivers are you top 5 guys using?

Using the 66.81 drivers with Forceware 5.14. If the Omega drivers would give me an increase I might consider trying them out.

this card is a mother, thank you bjorn3d!!!

Nice results I got a 6800le and this thing went from 3dmark03 at 6200 to 10900 with a soft mod!

[zhugeliang]

im gonna oc the card to ultra and see what kind of juice that gives it, maybe oc the cpu a little too just to see what happens.

I updated to 66.93 and oc'd the card to 420/1.1 and came up with this

5298/3843

tempts me to oc'ing the cpu now :D

[Krome]

I bumped my ram timings back up to 2,2,2,6 and enabled PAT.

Old score 2052 / 3264
New score 2105 / 3534

Not too bad for a small and easy change.

Krome

[Krome]

OK, get this.... I turned my CPU fan to max RPM. It's a Vantec 92mm Tornado, 120 CFM. Reran the benchie.

New Score 2108 / 3894

Thermal deal in the chip must have been skipping cycles before, cuz that's a big improvement on CPU score. 630 point difference from the first time I ran it.

I still have some fiddling to do. I know from some other tests I can get some more out of my old 9700pro.

It's amazing how addictive tweaking can be.

Krome

[Krome]

How about an update to the scores >? :)

Krome

[Death_Incarnate]

yeah yeah...I'm gonna get it updated tonight after work.

:D

[Death_Incarnate]

List updated December 9, 2004.

[Victor]

okay, thanks for the forum i got a directx 9 card that I can finally give it a benchmark and post my result here. Maybe I can make it to the list.

3dmark05=1099
cpu mark= 3438

BTW, I got a lot of 1 fps during the benchmark, is this normal? is it because my card is not the fastest or this is how the benchmark is done?

[Gray]

SAM what card are you using?

1fps is definatly not how the demo should run. :(

I can't even run it. I have an ATI 8500 64MB and being directX 8 it's no good as you know.

I have geforce 5900xt thanks to you guys. I used to have geforece 3 ti200, so I know, it sucks that older card can't run the benchmark :cry:

[Reyawn]

yea my BFG FX5900XT OC also runs it pretty slowly... :(

[Chad]

I can't even run it. I have an ATI 8500 64MB and being directX 8 it's no good as you know.

Actually, that's not too uncommon w/o a current mid-range or high-end board. When I had my 5950 Ultra in, I was getting low single-digits for FPS. :cry: Makes you feel lowsy doesn't it... :?

[Victor]

it totally does. I thought this card is way better than my old geforce 3 ti200 (well it does, at least I can run benchmark:))>

[Reyawn]

it certainly is better, but compared to the new stuff... ;)


It runs HL2 and CS:Source very well, but unfortunately there is no DX9 support in game for GeforceFX cards (unless you force it) so the graphics quality suffers a tad (pretty much the only difference is in the water quality).

[Victor]

what do you mean that it does not run DX9? I thought the geforceFX card are capable of directx 9?

[The Doctor]

GF-FX cards are certainly DX9 capable but DX9 performance on cards below FX 5900's is lousy so the theory is that Valve programmed HL2 to use the DX8.1 code path by default on FX cards to provide acceptable performance.

[Reyawn]

yea, although I've seen some DX9 stuff run nicely on my system as well...so maybe Valve was just biased? I guess we'll never know!

All I know is that it runs great on the DX8.1 codepath (with high detail textures and all) so I'm happy.

Will do. I just got back from Nebraska, and will update the list with the few new scores we have, but it probably won't be until tomorrow.

My latest testing. Tweaking away!!

[Death_Incarnate]

Updated for the head honcho!!!

[shanewu]

Just got 4720 with Sapphire X800 XL. :)

That gets me up a couple notches. Overclocking may get me even higher. ;)

[Krome]

I get huge score differences with a change to ambient room temperature. When I run the heater in the room my scores drop considerably even if CPU and or GPU temps never go above what we would consider normal operating temperature. I'm pretty damned sure of this. I have checked the temperatures about a dozen different ways.

GPU scores aren't as dramatic as CPU though. When the room is warm I get high 2000's up to low 3000's. If I turn the heat off and freeze myself and let the ambient drop to below 50f or so my CPU score can easily get into the low 4000's. I have a record of 4419 for CPU. I don't think that's too bad for a non-OC'd P4 2600.

Odd thing I always notice though... If the CPU score goes up, invariably the GPU goes down and of course visa versa. Haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Krome

first run 5539/4489
2nd run 5578/4446 (OD)

The Gen4 only has in GeForce 6800Ultra, will run shortly ans see, but it shouldn't top the X800XT. Then again the Gen3 cost $1,885 and the Gen4 $1,058. (p4 3.4)

Dual core announced to launch 2nd quarter on Intel's web site.
That'll definately bump the CPU scores.

later

From what I've seen my score of 7919 isn't that bad compared to some other ones so yeah I am once again glad and honored to rank amongst the higher scores without having sli and only having a sinlge card and overclocking my hardware not too much

http://service.futuremark.com/orb/projectdetails.jsp?projectType=12&projectId=1751092

i dont know if u are still updatin the list but i would like to see the updated list with scores and all i think it would be cool, but meh thats just me

Hmm i downloaded 3Dmark06 last night. With everything stock i got 5199. Then i put my cpu back up to 3.33ghz and got 5480. Is that about right for that amount of overclock? Do i need full version of 06 to get individual CPU and Gfx scores? Guess ill have to d/l 05 so i can compare

Hmm i downloaded 3Dmark06 last night. With everything stock i got 5199. Then i put my cpu back up to 3.33ghz and got 5480. Is that about right for that amount of overclock? Do i need full version of 06 to get individual CPU and Gfx scores? Guess ill have to d/l 05 so i can compare

Edit: Haha just found the 3DMark06 thread
LOLOL did yea have to dig this one up??? LOL oh man thats great!! couldn't find the 3dmark06 but you found the 05!!!! lol

3dmark05 is still a great benchmark, I don't see nothing wrong with it.
Many reviewers still use it along with 06.
