3DMark 06 Scores

[Schwarz]

On the card they are still stock.
8800GTS Extreme Edition stock clocks.

[Dragon]

well crank em them ... :D

[werty316]

You mean you haven't OC'd them yet? :shock:


HAH.
Got my new Crucial Ballistix Tracer and hit 14909.
MAN when will I get 15000 thats my goal right now...
You would have hit 15k a while back if you OC'd those 8800GTS cards.

[peti1212]

You will probobly even get like extra 500 points.

[Dragon]

i say a lil more then that i gained almost 2 k just by oc.n a single card .. went from 10 k to 12 k ....

[tyle6]

booo this thread makes me jelous! LOL soon i shall join you and the envy will somewhat subside.... somewhat.

[PP Mguire]

Heres a few scores i got a while back.

looks real good PP

[PP Mguire]

Yea, if i wasnt so lazy i would have went for 6000 on the 3000+ procy but meh.

[darkorb]

did some tests, i get 8127

oc'd gpu i got 7,900

from 576 to 600 and 1700 to 1800

and i just restarded and did a stock test and got this

[werty316]

You don't have it installed on your root drive (C: )?

Try reinstalling 3dmark06.

[darkorb]

no, its on my D drive, running low on C

Main Test Results

3DMark Score 11428 3DMarks

SM 2.0 Score 5349 Marks

SM 3.0 Score 5658 Marks

CPU Score 2332 Marks

Sli'd 8800 GTS 640mb @ 666/1000 'tenative' clocking (Haven't fiddled, awaiting the liquiiiid)

64x2 6000+ @ 3330, need a 16x multiplier to get any more, damn kingston ram @ 888 choking my bus... no volts except an extra .050 on the ram to stabilateify it a widdle.

PCI-E bus @ 2825, thanks to nTune for both effing my system every boot (reboot, safe mode, delete folder) and discovering just how high this clock can go, now into the trash with it.

I'm running into the same hurdle that newer drivers and Vista 64 are definitely taking a huge dump on my marks.

[Dragon]

looks good none the less whyt not clock it thru bios ?

[Ranzear]

I did after I kicked nTune to the curb. ASUS M2N32 caps out at 15x cpu multiplier. Maybe a bios revision, dunno. I've gotten the thing to about 3550mhz but the ram was erroring up and I want to get my ambient temps down* before I volt it much more.

Edit*

It seems like I'm getting sorta capped just below 11500 marks no matter what I do, even if I underclock my 8800s, overclock my core systems, underclock my core systems, disable PCI-e... etc.

Waiting for 3DM'07.

[sushrukh]

I've got 5383 with my Commando.Near about the same which i used to get previously.

[Bio-Hazard]

I need to run this again with my new E6750 OC's, with my old E4300 I was up somewhere around 6000, not sure anymore, I'll have to check again.

[AJ.]

Well since I'm new here I'll post up my latest benchmarks. My system consists of:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
WD Caviar 250GB HDD
2GB RAM
Antec Truepower Trio 550W PSU
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB superclocked Card
NZXT Zero case

http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp?projectType=14&XLID=0&UID=9702838

Not bad considering it was an HP at heart. I did some minor oc'ing to my cpu and gpu. Nothing too extreme on the cpu because my RAM is holding me back from anything past 2.9Ghz stable.

[PP Mguire]

I need to run this again with my new E6750 OC's, with my old E4300 I was up somewhere around 6000, not sure anymore, I'll have to check again.Thats all you got? Figured the "oh so mighty" C2D would bring your CPU score up enough to beat my 7950GTs score with a 3000+.

And that score is really awesome AJ considering you have an X2. Very nice!

[werty316]

Remember, Bio is running a 7900GT and you are running an overclocked 7950GT.

[PP Mguire]

Thats why i said

Figured the "oh so mighty" C2D would bring your CPU score up enough to beat my 7950GTs score with a 3000+.

CPU score up enough

[werty316]

A singlecore compared to a dualcore will help but a faster GPU will affect a 3dmark06 score the most.

[PP Mguire]

Aye i know this but i was merely trying to say that his cpu score should be like double mine and would prolly raise it higher than 6000. BUt i guess the 7900GT isnt all its cracked up to be?

[werty316]

Not when compared to something that is a bit faster.

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/949/5/page_5_benchmarks_3dmark06/index.html

[PP Mguire]

Yea well thefunny thing is, read on another forum some guy saying the 7900GTX is better than the 7950GT. I laughed till i fell outa my chair. When i told him lets compare benches he made up excuse after excuse.

[sushrukh]

Nothing to laugh at PP.7900GTX is infact faster than the 7950GT.

[PP Mguire]

AHAHAHA I still laugh, lets see some benches. Anybody here got a 7900GTX? Ill test my card against it.

[AJ.]

And that score is really awesome AJ considering you have an X2. Very nice!

Thanks man! I try my best to keep up with the C2D's but it's hard man, it's hard. I want to pick up some nice ram so I could oc my cpu some more. I could totally break 10k easily. The ram I have now is so bad any cheapo ram would be better. :redface:

[werty316]

When comparing a stock 7900GTX to a stock 7950GT, the 7900GTX is faster.

7950GT specs.
core/mem (550/700)

7900GTX specs.
core/mem (650/800)

both have the same amount of pixel pipes and vertex shaders.

[darkorb]

but werty isnt it not all about the clock speeds?

isnt the 8600gts's alot higher than the 8800 gts, but the 8800 beats it?


unless the 7950's are underclocked GTX's..

[werty316]

7900GTX and 7950GT have identical specs except for core and memory speeds as they differ between the two cards.

8800 cards are much faster than the 8600 cards because of many factors like the amount of stream processors(unified shaders), the memory controller, etc.

[AJ.]

The 8600 and the 8800 are totally different. They both have totally different architectures and different cores. Speed is not the only thing you look at in a card. What werty is trying to say is that the 7900GT and a 7950GTX have the same exact specs except for core clocks. Think of it basically as an oc'd 7900GT.

[darkorb]

i didnt no they were the same core

[werty316]

This chart comes in handy: Desktop Graphics Card Comparison Guide (http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=0)

[AJ.]

Thats a pretty useful chart. It comes in handy when a lot of people new to computers dont know what to buy. It would eliminate all those "Help! dont know what to choose" threads :lol:

Its comes in handy but I don't think it would be handy for those who are new computers as all the data will probably just confuse them.

[sushrukh]

PP & darkorb, we know the meaning of the GT & the GTX.Right ? And we also know that a GTX is always faster than a GT in the same core level.No matter how much more memory & core speed the GT has, it'll remain slower than a GTX always & that's the only reason why Nvidia use these two terms.

[PP Mguire]

Ok, somebody who actualy HAS a 7900GTX, lets go toe to toe with my 7950GT. Sorry, the "GTX" of the 7950 cards is the GX2. And the 7950GT was always more expsensive than the 7900GTX. So, whoever actualy has a REAL card (not paper spec BS) lets dig it out and compete with me. My core and mem didnt come stock at those speeds.

[werty316]

If you were to compare a non-factory overclock 7900GTX to your 7950GT Extreme Edition, the 7950GT would still be a bit slower. Keep in mind if you want more definite results a similar test bench must be used.

7900GTX (650/1800) vs. 7950GT Extreme Edition (570/1460)

[PP Mguire]

Yea but what i was saying was STOCK my 7950GT didnt come at 570/1460). It was like 620/1.52. I know this isnt right, but it works fine and im not arguing over it.

[werty316]

As far as XFX model the Extreme Editions run at (570/1460) and XxX Editions run at (610/1600) based on XFX product lineup on their website.

[PP Mguire]

My box says 570/1460 but thats not what it was set at when i first put it in :/ I got the cool card? lol

Sorry PP, you are going wrong again.7950GT was never more expsensive than the 7900GTX.I donno from where you have heard this, but infact the GTX is actually priced nearly double than that of a 7950GT.

Go here for the Newegg pricing of these two cards from Asus :-

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%201069609641%201068310557%20106790717&bop=And&CompareItemList=N82E16814121025%2CN82E16814121023

7950 GT is priced about $250,where the 7900GTX costs $470.See the difference ? 7900GTX is hell lot faster than your/mine 7950GT.Otherwise it wouldn't come with that kind of price tag.Don't ever dare to compete against a 7900GTX.7900GTX is only comparable to the 7950GX2,not the 7950GT.If you want to compete against a GTX,you'll have to downclock the GTX to match the performance level of the 7950GT.

Anyways, guyz we are going off-topic.Let's come back to the topic again.


http://www.robtex.com/ipinfo.gif

[PP Mguire]

Cant go to Newegg for my card, they dont sell it anymore. And i still say, bring a POS 7900GTX on. Ill whoop it. (Anybody have ANY idea why im being so arrogant about this? prolly cause i go to lots of LAN parties and prove my points) So, anybody have a 7900GTX they wanna have a go with?

[Dragon]

i use to own a 7900gtx , and lets put it this way its a fast card and clocked incredibly nice . i went up against 7950gt's and it didnt look pretty for the 7950 . we are getting a lil off topic here make another thread for your challange .

[PP Mguire]

Its not exactly OT dude, my topic at hand is about benching over some cards. Which is what this thread is about.

[Dragon]

this thread bout peeps showing off thier rigs and their scores ... also other posibly helping those on how to improve that benchmark ( of coarse we do stretch it a bit )

[Ranzear]

I say take your nutsack swinging to another thread, lest I quoth my sig and make you both look like fools.

What bench difference you might have seen are likely related to amount of ram. A card with twice the video ram is more than likely to outperform in '06, which is very shader and texture heavy. Another point is the system around the card, later 3dmarks are very sensitive to CPU and all-around system performance. If you're running a dual or quad to his single core, of course you'll bench better.

You can't speak performance based purely on individual cards nor clock speeds. Its an amalgamation of all factors that contribute to computing performance. As always: YMMV.

[PP Mguire]

I dont get what your point is here? Are you arguing with the 7950GT/7900GTX issue or somethign else?

[tyle6]

WOOOOOTTTTT!!!!! first run on the 3dmark scores here. rig is as follows.
core2dou e6600 @3.0ghz zalman 9700nt
1 gig ddr2-533 ram running at 667 4-4-4-12 @1t
twin 7600gt's in SLI completely stock.
EVGA 680i sli mobo
200gb sata1 segate barracuda.
i scored 6027 in 3dmark06 first run with the cards stock and my mushkin goodness still in RMA land.
UPDATE: scored 6386, cards OCed to 600mhz core 750mhz memory


http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp?projectType=14&XLID=0&UID=10419972

[PP Mguire]

Good score, but still just goes to show a single high range card is better than 2 midrange cards in SLI.

[tyle6]

Oh for sure. i look at SLI as a beefed version of the original card. nothing more. in no way do you get twice the performance. i would take a 7900gs over the twin 7600gt's

[sushrukh]

3D Mark always gives more scores while in SLI (compared to a better single card) even if some inferior quality cards are being used.I also have 2 Asus EN7600GT cards & those cards in SLI scored much more than my lone 7950GT but in all the games,they couldn't stand a chane against the 7950GT.As 3d Mark doesn't support Real Life benching,these scores can't be taken into consideration.Only the real game performance should matter.I've seen many people buying cards just by judging 3D mark scores.That's utter stupidity.

[PP Mguire]

Yea, but he was getting a LOWER score then me until he overclocked his cards. ;) Remember, my 3dmark scores so far all of them on here are with the 3000+ not helping me with justice to the over all score.

[tyle6]

just got the new mushkin in and the first run stock seems odd. hit the exact same score with 2 gigs as i did the first time with only 1 gig? ram doesn't play much a part in these scores eh? and as for real world. i would say 3dmark is the one of the closest benchmark you can do to "real world" this isn't just a number crunch. as for SLI in 3dmark. i have never seen a dif. i can grab that 6000 with a single card. hands done. i dont see a dif. in my 3d mark scores at all from SLI.

[Schwarz]

You should see a difference with 2 sticks in though...
I'm wondering maybe you aren't running your 2GB in dual...

[the_dope_chaud]

have you (noob question, I know...), Adjusted the ram speed and timings? and maybe voltage to make it stick?

[tyle6]

yea everything is dialed im at 800mhz right now 4-4-4-12@1T 2.125V. i manually set everything but never thought to check adn make sure they were operating in dual channel. i had the old stick clocked pretty nice though. but i still expected some jump from 1 gig to dual channel 2gig though. meh, tonight i will see what i can do. want a 1600fsb so i have tweaking to do anyways. CPU is still at 1333mhz it was stable there, so i figured i would test the ram with a small OC. i want 7500 off these 7600gt's in SLI would be a new 3dmark record for that card setup i believe.

[Xero (1)ne]

Hey HSMTruman, What's the green stuff in that bag on your desk next to the Rizzlas?

[Schwarz]

The worst in all this is i'm the one who took the pictures and told me to clean his *&*& desk.

[Dragon]

everything plays a part in 3dmark06 , timings , cpu , gpu , sli ,crossfire , single , even heat plays a part ( some lil then others ) , as others said you shouldnt base your rig for gaming on these SYNTHETIC benchmarks .just remember that all the drivers are optimized for it . . what you can do is , base it on your personal base line scores or a trouble shooting guide .. for instance you were @ 3k then set mem timings tighter you gained 300 points . you know you are goin in the right direction

[tyle6]

i hope no one here is scoring 3000 points. hehe! i dont how any of you guys say dont base it on this becuase of that. its moronic. if my computer scores higher it performs better. benchmarks are nothing more then baselines, 3dmark being a very widely accepted one. what 3d mark should be doing is setting a baseline based on todays games. I.E. seperate the scores into there individual catagory and have a base. this many points in this catagory is essentially acceptable for these games.

[darkorb]

my 3500+, 2gb ram, 6800gt scored 2400 or somtin?

[PP Mguire]

Thats sad dude, my server scores more than that hahah.

[darkorb]

it was a while ago so i may be 100% wrong

Though 3D Mark06 is really accepted but as,i said, it can't be a measurement to judge a graphics card coz 3D Mark doesn't tests the cards in a real word way & a Synthetic measurement isn't a proper way to test cards.And to me,it's a starange thing that you get same scores in single card & SLI.;-)

[PP Mguire]

6k for me now with a single card and 3000+ OCed. SLI is so over rated.

[Dragon]

my 3500+, 2gb ram, 6800gt scored 2400 or somtin?

for a 6800gt that sounds bout right on the money .. .... we not here to bash others people scores but to help and see what others are getting ... so please be nice ...

[PP Mguire]

For a 6800GT and an Axp it sounds right, but i still got higher. THats why i said what i said.

[Xero (1)ne]

My brother got ~200pts on his machine and it plays all of his games and ran Vista absolutely fine

1.1Ghz athlon XP

[Schwarz]

200.
Well like some said as long as he can play games and enjoy his computer everything is fine.
3dmark is only a benchmark.

[PP Mguire]

Well then again his PC cuts the minimum requirements for Vista and most games too. Just not 3dmark 06

[tyle6]

he runs games in vista? i would have to call that B.S. sorry.

[Kougar]

I think that was about the score my ATI 9600XT gets in 3dmark06. That happens because the card is only SM2 capable, it does not support Shader Mark 3 or 4 and 3dmark06 uses almost SM3 based tests exclusively. You would need to use 3dmark03 or 05 to test an SM2 card.

My 9600XT will actually run Areo Glass... SOME 6200's do offer a 256bit bus with DX9.0c tech, so it is certainly possible if he has one of the better ones that he can run Areo and modern games... Might make a point that the games will have all their settings toned pretty low though.

[PP Mguire]

All 6 series cards where DX9c and supported SM3.0. So, its VERY possible. Not everybody has 30 million processes taking up 40 million gig of ram on Vista ;)

[Xero (1)ne]

he runs games in vista? i would have to call that B.S. sorry.

It's called modded drivers + vLite + hard core tweaking + a little bit of patience + magic dust :icon_tiphat:

Am I the only one who has not had problems in Vista??

[Schwarz]

Where do you get that so called Magic dust... if I would let's say be interested ?

[tyle6]

I have vista ultimate on 2.4 celeron d with 512mb ddr 333mhz and a radeon 9250. i can run glass on it. doens't mean its any ****ing good!! my sister plays the sims on it at 800 X 600. still doesn't change the fact that not one of us would enjoy this expierence. if you guys want to try it be my guest. last time i checked oblivion wouldn't even run nicely on that system in XP.
P.S. the only prob i have had with vista is SLI support i have been using it for about 2 years now(beta tester) i loved it before aero was even involved!!! and as soon as they fix SLI or i get a single card solution i will go back to it and not let 200 dollars go to waste in my CD case.

[sushrukh]

Am I the only one who has not had problems in Vista??

I'm in your league.i had problems though but they got sorted out.

[tyle6]

other then SLI support in vista i have not had a single issue. drivers were fun at first, thats for sure.

[AJ.]

lol, you guys bag on vista when somebody wants to buy it saying there's too many bugs in it, but when someone asks you "has vista been giving you problems?" you tell them no. What's that all about?

Don't hog vista all for yourselves now :lol:

Like I said before, vista hasnt been giving me much problems. Vista being so buggy to the point where it's not bearable is overhyped. If one reviewer says it, they all say it. The only problem is half of the people that say it havent tried vista. :rolleyes:

[tyle6]

VISTA eats resourse like a fatman on apple pie. thats why we say this. plus the drivers still are not perfect. for someone looking for a tried tested and true OS XP is the one.

[AJ.]

I know it eats resources like a fat man eats apple pie but thats not the bugs we're talking about.

Now Honestly tyle, now really be honest, is vista as bad as it's made out to be?

[tyle6]

for the mid range-gamer, yes it is. for someone looking for HTPC or just a web browser its pretty and does the basics just right. i can not run teaming ports, tcp/ip acceleration or my SLI on it correctly. so yes it is as bad as we all say. until my mainstream hardware is supported in this main stream software. yes it is that buggy.

[Schwarz]

Wasn't SLI fixed though.
Thats why i want to go with vista soon.

[sushrukh]

MS & Nvidia is saying that the problem is solved but who knows the truth.And to me,Vista isn't the best option for gaming.I've just tried running 3D Mark 2006 & tried some games in both XP & Vista 64.In every games,Vista is returning lower FPS than XP.3D Mark scores are much lower than XP too.So, Vista is bad but not that bad which i've heard b4 installing it.All OS have their problems when they was introduced & Vista is no exception.It's still new & it has the scope to improve.Maybe SP1 comes with some performance advantage but some beta testers have said that it doesn't bring any advantage.I wonder if Vista can be ever comparable with XP in terms of performance.

[Schwarz]

Probably not.
Though one day when PCs will be a lot more powerfull Vista will probably run like XP is to 98 right now.

[sushrukh]

Probably not.
Though one day when PCs will be a lot more powerfull Vista will probably run like XP is to 98 right now.

Yep, when we will be converted into grandfathers.;-)

[Xero (1)ne]

Tyle, the answer to your resource hog is slimming down Vista overall.

Using vLite I got the Vista folder down to 3Gb ;-) (and I could get it lower if I were patient enough)


Tweaking also helps, try a little prog I found called VistaSmoker.

There's also XPSmoker too.:)

And if you read Shush's registry tweak guide thingy you would have noticed that there's tons of tweaking options out there for XP. It's only a matter of time till more tweaking options are discovered. (although some tweaks are simular or the same as XP):icon_tiphat:

Oh, and overclocking. That always helps :-D

[tyle6]

first off we are comparing the OS as is not "hacked to Sh*t" as for registry tweaks there are a few for just about every OS out there. again vista is new and still maturing. as sush said by the time we are grandparents vista will be inline with XP's performance and XP will be where '98 is. hands down vista is not as mature as XP it is not as stable and right out of the box it is the biggest resource hog. **** if we go about changing everything in registry for vista we must do the same to the XP its being compared too.

[westy87]

Hmm I could have sworn this was a thread for 3d Mark 06 scores... By the way, any idea why my last run of 3dMark at stock settings would produce a sm2 score of half of what it usually does? :S

[PP Mguire]

Am I the only one who has not had problems in Vista??Nope, and i dont have to do all that. I can get down to 22 processes. I just hate the OS in general.

[Schwarz]

Do you have it PP ??
If you dont like it i could buy it form you ... :p

[PP Mguire]

Im keeping it from when i DO need it. (9800GTX and Crysis) But, ill hate it hxc.

Yah thats what I thought.
People hate it but they aren't willing to sell it lol.

For me Vista (not slimmed or tweaked) already matches XP's performance (AND stability for that matter). Microsoft actually did a decent job on the API this time.

[tyle6]

LOL i like it too but for me i get better performance out of XP. i run SLI though. lets let this thread get back to 3DMARK scores though.

[Xero (1)ne]

Agreed.....I ran 3DMark06 for about 8 hours last night (looped each test 50 times) and it came out as 4683, my old score was 4606....Not much of an improvement but whatever.

[the_dope_chaud]

I ran some 3dmark today, its pretty hot and I had trouble, 3.4 on 8 multi got me in the high sixties, but I took her back down after.

this winter I'm gonna take it alle in my COLD basement and really push it, my video card is 50-52 degrees overclocked load 2h, im gonna push it a bit more.

[tyle6]

you still testing your buddies rig in sli with the 7600gt's this weekend? if yea do post those scores man!! i want to see some score from the same cards in sli.

[the_dope_chaud]

actually, I planned on borrowing my roomate's 7600gt and making SLI magic in my room, but I got in a argument with him this weekend, so we will see....

[AJ.]

Not that bad of a score. Got to oc that cpu a bit more though. Are you running air cooling or liquid? I could see that cpu going atleast another 200Mhz. Might need better cooling if your're running air though.

And on the 7600's in sli. How much of a difference is it really going to make? Just curious beucase I almost did that setup once.

[Schwarz]

I ran some 3dmark today, its pretty hot and I had trouble, 3.4 on 8 multi got me in the high sixties, but I took her back down after.

Sorry for offtopic, but the drawing in your background, did you draw it ?
Doesn't seem like your style of drawing but if it is I could pay you to do some for me.

Now I'm getting somewhere.

Got my water cooling in... and my 88s are heating my CPU to over 60c+. Gonna put the x2 back on the awesome stock cooler with some arctic silver. Dumped my ram speed from 800 to 667 (900 to 750 with 225 fsb) and then slammed the timings to 4 4 4 10, and even got a little back with 3 more fsb.

But in the meanwhile, since a replacement 6000+ wouldn't kill my bank:grin:

x2 6000+ @ 3420, stable at 65c
Ram @ 760 4 4 4 10
SLI'd 8800GTSs @ 685 1050 (MOAR!)
Vista64Ult.

[AJ.]

That's an awesome score Ranzear! I'm loving the 6000+ @ 3.4 too. I reccomended it to a friend and he's loving it. It's blazing fast even at stock speeds. Man I want one so bad. I have the 5200+ and the most I ever got it to was 3Ghz on my cheapo ram. Could get it to go more but i heard that the 5200+ has problems with anything over 3.2Ghz. :frown:

[PP Mguire]

Thats an awesome score. I broke the 6k mark on my rig with the 3000+ (im obsessed with pushing it to the limit) but before i couldnt prt scrn it locked up. Ima try it again since im back from the lake.

[Ranzear]

The 6000+ really likes to top out and crap out at around 230mhz fsb at 15x, and dropping the muliplier just causes some other weird problem that causes Vista to not boot at all.

But

Peltier stuffs and two-pass radiator (the DD BIX isn't enough for two 88s, let alone another 200w of peltier) are in the mail.

Let's find out.

[PP Mguire]

I heard the AM2s cant oc that well. ALong with the DDR2 problem, its why i decided not to get a DDR2 rig at all. (Meaning no C2D cause im not jumping on the Intel bandwagon). DDR3 FTW.

If you waited this long you might as well go AM3. I'm totally doing it. I just love the fact that AM2 boards will work with AM3's. Now THATS the way you do things :cool:

I'm also hoping they can put AMD back on top too. I'm tired of the whole debate and rumors of AMD going bankrupt.

[Ranzear]

I might take a good stab at some good ol' hacked BIOS's or do it myself to see if I can unlock my CPU multipliers. 16 or 16.5x would do me perfect once I have it running under room temps.

[PP Mguire]

[LowVolt]

Hello everyone, I am new to bench marking and the score process.I built this heap about 3 years a go and just ran 3DMARK06 on it,with a score of 541.That seems pretty crappy to me looking at the other scores. My system consists of
M/B ASUS K8VSE DELUXE
2- GIG RAM 3200
2OO GIG Ide hd
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 agp
600 watt p/s
Is that score about all I can expect out of this heap,Is there some stuff i can try to improve my score? Or is it time to start thinking of a rebuilding to the new X2 stuff? That would mean new mb,ram,and video. I would really like to avoid that for now.
Thanks
Dan

[PP Mguire]

I did it!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v701/pp_mguire/3dmark066k.jpg

[Schwarz]

Nice PP.
How did you do it finally?
You OCed something or what ?!?!

Are you using XP with a vista theme or something...?
Or are you really using Vista ...?

[Xero (1)ne]

Nice work PPM, I wish i could push mine a little higher, but my mobo doesn't like anything over 300FSB :frown:

On another note, what are you getting for your Vista experience scores?

[sushrukh]

On another note, what are you getting for your Vista experience scores?

He's using XP.Have a look at the 3D mark screenie again.It's there already.I think, it's an XP transformation pack.

[Schwarz]

Yah thats what I thought.
I was looking at that earlier this morning wondering why it said XP lol

[PP Mguire]

Ahah it really fooled you guys? Im using XP Pro CORP with VTP7. Like i was saying on another forums it dosent take ANY resources at all. And like i said in another thread, i went BACK to the 93.71s and OCed my memory higher. (On the vid card) and got over 6k :)

And to answer the Vista question, my 3dmark score blew to say the least. Which is why im not going to be using that POS of an operating system.

[Schwarz]

What were you getting with vista.
I'll guess like 2500 or something like that ?

[PP Mguire]

More around 4900. Id rather stick with XP and get 6k knowing my games are performing the same (cause i dont have SLI) hehe.

[Schwarz]

Hehe yah I was being sarcastic.
But vista is like a fat *(&*(& in a buffet man...

[PP Mguire]

I hate Vista, tried it 5 times and im saying NO SIR!!!

your video card is killing your score, but if you dont play games or feel the need to upgrade, why do it?

but if you shop smart, you can have a real cheap upgrade....feel free to ask for help

PS I'm sure you have a processor somewhere in there also...

[sushrukh]

I did it!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v701/pp_mguire/3dmark066k.jpg

Don't u submit your scores to Future Mark PP ? I think, all of our 3D Mark scores should contain a FM compare link (with screenshot) to be able to understand what were the system configurations involved & which driver did u use ?

And can we start a Bjorn3D team registered in HwBot.org so that we can accumulate points for our team ? Many forums are doing this already.I know Bjorn3D isn't a Overclocking or modding community but that will be fun to compete with other teams.

[PP Mguire]

Lol nope. I have my network connectiosn turned off when i bench. And i dont have an account with them anyways and im to lazy to make one. And system specs are what are in sig except i used a 3000+ at 2.6ghz and 93.71 drivers with my video card OCed to 685/1.54.

[sushrukh]

Your score is making me feel bad for my machine.My Pentium D & 1GB value ram sucks.I think,it's the 3GB ram which is giving you such high scores.Have you ever benched with only 1 or 2Gb of it to see the diff ?

[PP Mguire]

The extra gig only made me jump up from 5994 to 6025. if you look, on my last post with the on that was SO close it was 2gig. I had the other gig in my server.

[darkorb]

my new score!!!!

217mhz on ram

2.6ghz


Gpu 576/850

[Xero (1)ne]

Nice score darkorb, I bet you could get your cpu higher with loosening up some timings, or if you have another divider to go ;-)

I don't even mind that my computer won't touch some of your guy's scroes. I'm perfectly happy knowing that it outruns any computer in it's class and that it's a 754 where the HT outruns the 939's. ;-)

[darkorb]

here it is at 2.7

[PP Mguire]

I cant beliee your dual core and 8800 is only getting about 2500 more than me. Something has to be wrong.

[Dragon]

in this game a couple of hundred is a boat load .. especially when you allready taxing out a system ... so a 7950 getting 6k vs a 8800 getting 8800 is a signifigant gain .. what could be wrong ? sounds bout right for his system , He will be hard to break 10k mainly because the cpu is bottlenecking but its possible . looking real good dark keep it cranking .. are you overclocking the vid yet ?

[Xero (1)ne]

PPM, if you had 2 7950's you could most definately beat his @$$ :icon_tiphat:

[westy87]

mmm imagine 2 7950gx2's :)

Latest score 5543 at 3.20ghz and card at 549core and 808(1616)

I'm gonna run one after I've defragged and closed as many processes as I can

[PP Mguire]

Yes i know i could easily wipe him with SLI but in games it wouldnt be worth it. Besides i wanna buy some RAM for my laptop :)

Also Rapt, his CPU is fine. My score was with a 3000+. My score is pretty much ALL video card.

[Ranzear]

12101 and still without my pelt.

Gimmie 30c load and the clocks that come with it and I'll turn 14k.

[Dragon]

looks allright for a score . should be doin 15k easily tho . the 8800gts stops round 701 - 709 ( might go a tad higher/lower machine specific ) the mem will go 2160 topped out ( some flexability ) for being dd cooled you should be cranking .... when you goin to start overclocking them ........

will test with a higher fsb and HHT speed later.

all tests on 3dmark 06 were default 3dmark settings

[darkorb]

im not gonna OC my GPU, i tried going higher, but it only results in a lower score.

i dont think my system is still 100% stable at 2.7, i wana up my ram vcore to 2.9v, but thats a little high ain't it ? for 4 sticks of value ram

[Ranzear]

Problem is the GTSs are dumping so much heat into the fluid that any ambient temp over 70F puts my coolant around 60C, which my X2 isn't very happy at.

Also I'm running Vista FTL.

[darkorb]

i might wana OC my GPU, but whenever i do i lose FPS :S

might be my PSU, ill give the Mushkin another try, hoping it doesnt fail on me again

[PP Mguire]

K i got a job that will offer me more hours. A second 7950GT might be coming around the corner if i can get somebody to fine me one. Im gonna mount some Fatal1ty Zalman coolers on them and some better mem cooling. Oh yea, pwnage score here i come. Ill pop my X2 OCed in so i can get an even better score. Gonna be awesometastic.

[darkorb]

you still can't beat me :D

leme pop in the mushkin PSU today and OC my gpu to 700/2100 (i had no artifacts)

[darkorb]

heres mine, 2.7ghz, gpu is 670/2100, ddr450 4 sticks !

i think its pretty good for dual core AMD S939!!

[PP Mguire]

If i SLI ill go way over that. Im gonna say right now bout 10,500 right now. Thats with my dual core and SLI 7950GTs. But, i havent looked yet for a price for second one so i havent decided yet. I got uber res i need to fill up and i know a single card solution wont cut it.

[darkorb]

oh yea your 30" right?

[PP Mguire]

Make that 47". 1920x1200 is still mighty big though for a single 7950GT. :( Idk if i should just wait till i get a 9800GTX then let the screen be brought in. But i want it NOW and ill want to game on it and AHHH ARRGGG idk what to do.

[Damo Campbell]

At present staright out of the box and no overclocking I scored 11457. Can anyone think of an easy way to increase this score as I am not too interested in overclocking?
Relatively speaking is this a decent score?
I am hoping to go for a Vista package for Directx 10 games within the month.

[Schwarz]

Yah but dont expect your score to go up with vista.
You'll probably score around or under 10000

[PP Mguire]

Hm nobody around here has that kinda setup but Scott so i think only he can answer if thats a decent score or not.

[darkorb]

I think that setup is worth that score, if u get that CPU up to 3.5, u will see a HUGE increase in score. But overclocking is the only way to increase it, unless u wana buy a quad or another Ultra, which i think not.

[Ranzear]

Peltier is back in on soldered connections.

12186 without pushing much else. I think 3408mhz on the CPU til I get my vcore dialed in. Less vcore means cooler running, but less top end stability, where a fine point develops that less voltage can be more stable because of the lower heat load... at least until I get my 65nm quad in here.

[Dragon]

considering the ultra is a overclocked gtx i say its on par , the only way to go higher is overclocking as others stated .

[sushrukh]

My highest 3D Mark score so far after OC'ing my CPU. :)

i think his scores at 3ghz should have gone a little higher

[PP Mguire]

Not really, his CPU only went up about 900 points. Seems about right.

[darkorb]

shouldnt overall go up higher?

[PP Mguire]

Only a little. Remember 3dmark is really a video card benchmark. Im suprised they have a CPU score at all.

[zachig]

After recently overclocking a bit my E6600 to 3.2GHz (4x800), I've decided to overclock a bit my Leadtek 8800GTX, which I kept at stock so far.

I mainly did it in order to see if I can break the 12K barrier in 3DMark06 and also in order to try and gain a few more FPS in Crysis, after I finally got my pre-ordered copy of it recently.

So...having that said, I finally ended up with a "modest" overclock of 625/2000 instead of a stock 576/1800. :grin:

Actually it's 621/1998(999), as the GPU/Memory clock have certain "synchronized" clock for the GPU/Mem (612, 621, 648...). You can further read abou it here:
http://it-review.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1250&Itemid=91&limit=1&limitstart=0 (http://it-review.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1250&Itemid=91&limit=1&limitstart=0)

Anyhow, the most important thing is that I got a score of:

12023 Pts!!! :grin:

WOOHOO, I broke the 12K barrier!!! :grin:

I'm probably going to keep this overclock 24/7, as my temps are quite good:

The card idles @44C and never gets above 72C on maximum LOAD!!! :smile:

I could go higher with both the GPU and Memory, but since I want to keep this overclock 24/7, I'm not going to do it and I'm pretty satisifed with what I got. ;-)

Since I'm currently using the "unregistered" version of 3DMark06, I don't have a link to my score, but I've attached a picture of my score (12023). :icon_tiphat: (updated my sig as well...;-))

[pc_man_iac]

If I had XP and my 8800GTS still I would attempt to break the 12k barrier, as I was at 11,776, and only had my cpu runnin at 3.0ghz, now I have it runnin at 3.4ghz 24/7, but meh, no 8800, so i can't, maybe I should try with this POS 8600GTS, nah |=uck it, 8600 is poo on a stick, that was when i still had my asus mobo which hated my mushkin mem, and wouldn't oc past 3.0ghz, the 680i board is much nicer, and allows for a consistent stable OC at 3.4ghz
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2606170 there ya go

Sorry for double post, but meh, I just benched my system with the 8600gts, and I got 6240
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4032553
I just want to know if thats good, also I benched it in Vista so I know that means a significant moren in XP correct? Anyways I don't know what to expect out of a 8600gts, but thar it is, and there are no "similar" systems on the 3dmark site for me to compare to. On the EVGA Mod Rigs thing, I think I would be top score(for 8600gts) if I ran it 3DM06 in XP, oh BTW I did see you there thrasher2, you and your bright red system you

heres the 8800gts 320 on a quad core q6600 ..

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=3935541

[pc_man_iac]

is that your 8800gts, and your score or were you replying to me? if you were replyin to me, I was askin about a 320 if not, thats an impressive score, whether its yours or not

[pc_man_iac]

Doub post but its been a couple days, up to 6587, now with this lowzy 8600gts

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4076488

BA, thar ya go brothas, I think this is good isn't it for an 8600, and in Vista?

[Dragon]

looks real good for a 8600gts . and yes that is with my 8800gts 320 .

[pc_man_iac]

I thought it was good, cuz in the evga modrigs thing I am top 10 in the 8600gts', 7/9 above me are sli, 1/9 above has an 8800gts, and the other is just barely above me, but usin XP instead of vista like me :D

[Dragon]

trick to vista from what i learned is 1 quad cpu and 4 gigs of mem and use 64 bit vista . i only ran it breifly till i hosed it myself ...

Just broke 10K! :grin:

very nice

doesnt look like ill be breaking 10K either, highest i have gotten is 9400, thats with everything pushed to the max

[PP Mguire]

Ill prolly be able to reach 8k with my 7950GT and my proccy OCed. I can prolly hit 3.2ghz if i had a better heatsink. Lol ill even try with this ECS board.

13,309, gonna get CPU stable at 3.4 tonight, and try again later, and OC My Vid more, maybe even use XP, b/c its hurtin my CPU score A LOT. My cpu score at 3.0ghz in xp is almsot 1k higher then at 3.2ghz in Vista

[Dragon]

stable ? have you tried upping the pci-e voltages ? for some odd reasons when i moved to quad i had to up that voltage to stableize my set up ...

[pc_man_iac]

So upping PCI-E voltage will make my CPU oc more stable? I will try it when I get time, was pretty busy last night, maybe after work tonight, but b4 i go chill wit ma homiez. Thanks for the advice raptorfury

[Dragon]

its been an issue i been having on my quad . for some unknown reason . ( i am on t a 975x mb so that makes me automatically " Special " ;) ) when i tried to go above 3.2 i had to add volts to the pci-e bus to get the system stable ....

[pc_man_iac]

Home now, gonna give it a try

[Dragon]

keep us posted on how it goes

[pc_man_iac]

Got it to boot at 3.4, got into Vista, then it BSOD'd, so I dropped it to 3.35 it wouldnt even post. Also I couldn't find where to add voltage to the pci-e bus?

For 680i its the nForce SPP voltage, I think.

[pc_man_iac]

Interesting, if true

[PP Mguire]

change the mb , and what kind of cooling you runningIll be getting the DFI AM2+ board when i can. I had to cheap out on cooling though so a Cooler Master the equivalent of a 4000+ Stock heatsink.

wh you quotin PP?

[PP Mguire]

raptfury i believe.

[Dragon]

dfi is a good manu of boards . for cooling on air a zalman 9700 cooler or the gemini II will be my top choices . the geminiII can be gotten @ 30 or so dollars the zlaman 9700 is round 50 . but you need to add 2 120's on the gemini

Woot! Hit 3Ghz mark stable! :grin: (2.969. Give me a break :lol:)

Opty 170 @ 2.93GHz, XFX 8800 Ultra XXX. Can't seem to hit 3.0GHz orthos stable without crazy amount of voltage. As good of a score I'm gunna get on this setup.

[PP Mguire]

I find it pretty sad that your 939 proccy whoops my AM2.

Can't benchmark 3DMark06 anymore, without the CPU test failing because of this error: "To run this application, the resolution of the screen should not be less than 800x600."

I am more impressed by my stock systems performance at 2560 * 1600, AA*4 / AF*16 scoring 10954:
http://img249.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3ddp7.jpg

3DMark06 is somewhat CPU limited.

I had to fake the standard >4300 I get at stock CPU clock, because of the above error. If anyone has any suggestions how I can solve the <800x600 problem, then please PM me, so this thread wont be hijacked or go off-topic.

[AJ.]

Newer score officially @ 3Ghz.

If I only had water cooling and a Phenom 9900.....

[pc_man_iac]

publish it, so it is a compare, I don't want it adding it to my projects

How do I publish?

[pc_man_iac]

one of the options in the Project Manager

Hi all!

Thought I'll introduce myself by reporting my 3D mark 06 score on my newly built system.

The first test gave me 12220, compared to my old one computer 1803. So, that was quite a step upwards.
To give you an idea of the system:

Asus P5KR
E6850 @3 GHz
2 Gb XMS2
XFX 8800GT XXX ie. @ 670 MHz

On the sad side is that the system crashes some time in games, but I'm working on solving that part, might be driver related.


Best regards

Björn

Just broke 15k with my system 15110, I was at 14,911 killed some processes and it jumped to 15,110

[Xero (1)ne]

I always run 3dmark with bare minimum running. I even kill explorer.

I also run it in realtime priority.

[pc_man_iac]

how do you give it realtime priority? also thats in vista so in XP man that would be big

[asterasy]

To give a process Realtime priority in XP, you open up Task Manager, right click the process (in the Processes tab) and Set Priority -> Realtime.

[dubzhouse]

Hello Everyone
I just wanted to say hello and to post my 3DMark06 score with my new system.
The score is 17278 which isnt the greatest but it works for me.

[Santino11447]

Nice mo-chine. Welcome to Bjorn3d.

[Evax]

Heya guys,
Finally got my new system, here are my scores

3DMark Score 11190 3DMarks
SM2.0 Score 4587
HDR/SM3.0 Score 4849
CPU Score 3467

[pc_man_iac]

WHOA is your sig right, only a 460w PSU :O.............. I would umm fix that asap

[Evax]

its running fine :>

[Miker]

You need more PSU, under powering things can make them last not as long and run slower.

[Evax]

how many amps do i need on the 12v rail ?

[Sera]

how many amps do i need on the 12v rail ?

I don't know about your particular version of the 8800 GT, but the number is anywhere from 18A to 22A. If you have 22A, then you shouldn't be concerned at all.

[werty316]

:offtopic:

[Evax]

i got 29A so i should be fine.

[Miker]

4075... CPU tests got like .3 FPS...

[darkorb]

thats pretty good score for ur setup

single core CPU and a STRONG GPU.

[pc_man_iac]

Keeps right up there with the better systems of today, eh Miker ;)

[darkorb]

my highest score so far is 9418

cpu score: 1944
sm3: 4680
sm2: 4200

[pc_man_iac]

WHAT:O dark you should be able to break 10k no problem

[werty316]

A faster CPU could help darkorb increase his score but then again a 3dmark06 means squat.

CPU tests got like .3 FPS...
That is normal since only the CPU is process all the data and the reason why the frames are so low in the CPU test is your processor handle all of the graphics data.

[darkorb]

i cant push my CPU any farther, 2.73ghz with 1.45volts

with XP i couldve gotten a higher CPU score.

i gotta rebench wit my new OC on graphics too, 670 core, 1790 shader, and 986memory

[pc_man_iac]

I see, why didnt you mention you were in Vista I would have assumed a score of about 10k if you had said that earlier

[darkorb]

my bad :)

[bobletman]

I get about 15k with my rig I will try and post a pic in a little while.

[goldenchessboard]

12067 here.. got 11700 few days ago but re-ran it n got 300 more.. must've been running stuff in the background =O

[Nocutius]

This is the first time i ran this 3Dmark thingy
Here is the result, not as high as some of you guys get, but its mine and i love it anyway :).

Up to 4189 with new OC.

[mousiness]

i got 800 with my laptop! its the highest score ive ever gotten hahaha!

[pc_man_iac]

I think I am gonna bench my laptop as well

AMD TL58
2gigs of memory
Nvidia Dedicated 8400M G
120gb SATA hdd
Vista Home Premium(so this will hurt the score)

[darkorb]

i have an extra 80GIG HD. i was thinking of isntalling Xp on it or maybe Linux and try benching on that too. Ill see what i can do after exams.

[Xero (1)ne]

My brother's box gets like 200 marks.

Athlon XP 1.1Ghz
1Gb DDR 400
GF 6200 128Mb AGP 8x (don't remember the OC atm)
80Gb ATA 133 Matxor HDD
