WOW :shock: Great score, Scott!

I didn't have the opportunity (yet) to test my card, since I've tried to download it yesterday, but all servers/site that stored 3DMark06 were totally busy.

Of course, I'll update as soon as I'll have my own results. What I know is that the 3DMark06 score I'm going to get will probably be 10 times smaller than yours, Scott. :wink:

[SwedBear]

I could suggest you get it from us but our server is being pounded hard right now :). Damn the file is popular.

Hehehe :lol: . Believe me, I know. I've already tried yesterday to download it from your servers but it was damn busy. :wink:

[Gray]

Well I know everyones diying to know what the 64Mb Radeon 8500 can do when overclocked.

So here goes.

... Lets examine the number 0 shall we?

ze·ro ( P ) Pronunciation Key (zîr, zr)
n. pl. ze·ros or ze·roes
1. The numerical symbol 0; a cipher.
2. Mathematics.
____a. The identity element for addition.
____b. A cardinal number indicating the absence of any or all units under consideration.
____c. An ordinal number indicating an initial point or origin.
____d. An argument at which the value of a function vanishes.
3. The temperature indicated by the numeral 0 on a thermometer.
4. A sight setting that enables a firearm to shoot on target.
5. Informal. One having no influence or importance; a nonentity: a manager who was a total zero.
6. The lowest point: His prospects were approaching zero.
7. A zero-coupon bond.
8. Informal. Nothing; nil: Today I accomplished zero.


So from the choices above I choose #6 and my Card picks #8 to explain it's preformance.

Futuremark 2006 was so kind as to let me know that shader model 1.X will not work with 2006 at all and it wont even let me run any tests at all. (where is that *cry Emoticon when you need it)

Anyways the still photos look cool. keep posting those scores!

[zachig]

OK. Here we go!!! Here are my results in 3DMark06:

Final Score: 1770 Pts

SM2.0 Score: 642
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 745
CPU Score: 804

I've ran it on my Barton 2500+@3200+ (210x11) with XFX 6600GT 500/1000@570/1140, in a resolution of 1024x768.

I ran it on 1024x768 because when I tried to run it with the default 1280x1024 resolution, 3DMark06 always CRASHED on the 2nd test, giving me this damn error: "3DMark06 has encountered a problem and needs to close". :cry:

Anyway, maybe it is too much for my Video Card. :wink:

Well I know everyones diying to know what the 64Mb Radeon 8500 can do when overclocked.

Heh, I'm running a Radeon 8500 LE w/128MB :P (man, I cannot wait to upgrade). So I guess I'll achieve a similar score to you, eh? :wink:

[Schwarz]

Hehe I'm curious to see your guy's results.
(Gray and tomato)

[werty316]

Ran it today and here is a result:

Asus A8N-E
XFX 7800GTX
Patriot XBL 2x512MB

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=58447

I'll see if my board can get to 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz and see what scores I can get.

[zachig]

WOW :shock: Very Impresssive!!! Well done, werty. :wink:

[Schwarz]

Hehe that XFX 7800GTX seams to rack up the points !

[werty316]

So it seems the Asus A8N-E is not what I thought it would be with overclocking. Its having a hard time trying to get to 2.3Ghz with my memory running @ 2.5-3-3-7. At those timings I could get the FSB to 270Mhz no problem on my old MSI K8N Neo2 Plat with stock voltage. I should have bought the Neo4 instead. I would prefer to run my ram @ 2.5-3-3-7 with or without a divider but if I have to use 3-3-3-7 I am very disapointed with Asus on this board. Still I will see if I can get a higher score using 3-3-3-7 or not.

Like I always say:

For good overclocking results, one needs a good pair of TCCD memory modules with a nice DFI NF4 Ultra-D/SLI-DR (...and EXPERT model, preferred). :wink:
If you were thinking about overclocking, why didn't you buy the DFI??? :?

Anyway, you still got a pretty good board, and it even overclocks pretty well, of course not like the DFI, but I still think that with a little patience and the "correct" BIOS settings, you'll end up with a pretty decent overclocking.

GOOD LUCK!!! :)

[werty316]

I would prefer a 1:1 OC but if I have to use a memory divider then I guess I have no choice. I guess every board is different and the Asus A8N-E is a step down from my old MSI K8N Neo2 Plat OC'iing wise. I was thinking about a few boards and the DFI NF4 Ultra-D was on of them but I don't really know alot about memory settings and DFI's has a lot of memory settings I read from reviews.

There were times I tried to overclock my system, bought fans, played with the bios and all kind of tools in order to get another 10 or 20 3D marks...
Suddenly I realized:
I invested too much time trying to OC my system and troubleshooting all kinds of problems than to actually use the system in order to play and enjoy the games themselves...
Besides, the fans created a very noisy system which I didn't like at all.
That's when I decides to throw away all fans or reduce their noise, removed all frequencies to stock level and start playing!!!

[pc_man_iac]

I got a socre of 3858 in 3dmark06 I have a BFG 7800GToc (OC'D)to 500x1.2, a939 3000+(OC'D) to 2.45, dual channel kit of OCZ memory 2gigs 2x1024, a Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI MOBO, a 19" Samsung Syncmaster930bf, and yeah thats all that really effects my score I am very happy with my score as it is gettin very close to an x1800xts score and it is supposed to dominate the 7 series :lol: :lol: , but anyways yeah thats all and I'm glad to finally be on the best forum around

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=78977

yeah so thats it and i think i have one of the best sysems a 16yr old has on the planet and i worked hard and bought all the components my self thnk you very much lol but yeah its decent i still want a 2nd 7800gt

[pc_man_iac]

Yeah i like what u did with the 3dmark 05 thing and had the top 20 scores if you have time and stuff i would like to see them up now i just find it all interesting seeing other ppls rigs and scores and yeah i think its all cool so if you could do that Thanks a lot if not oh well i guess i'll just have to do it mentally lol

Well done, werty!!! That's pretty impressive overclock (2.5GHz!!! :shock: ) and a very nice score as well. :wink:

[werty316]

Thx zachig. I could probably get a little more inf my memory if tha Asus A8N-E didn't have a 1T command problem. I have to use amemory divider as with 1T my memory can't get past 244MHz. After I read abou this I wish for a MSI or DFI now argh I hope ASUS fixes this 1T problem.

[Gray]

I hope ASUS fixes this 1T problem.

1 T state, problem? Please elaborate Werty.

This is most interesting.

[Gray]

WOW look an ECHO!!!!!

I would delete one entry but thats cool. lol

[pc_man_iac]

how do u oc ur mem? maybe if i do that i get better score hmmm

[Gray]

Werty please change that avatar.
Man it's awful!

[pc_man_iac]

NO ur awful AMD PWNS yeah thats it newby PWNS intel u intel users are just afraid of us 1337 AMD users

[werty316]

lol amd pwns all hehe jk.

Well when I first got my Asus A8N-E and had everything ready to go. I wanted to see the OC'ing potential of this board. I came across some BSOD when I upped the FSB to 245MHz. I then checked the ram setting in the bios and changed the command rate from 1T to 2T. To my surprise I was able to get my memory to 277MHz. So then I did some searching and found a forum that mentions that this board does have a 1T problem when trying to OC memory. I should have bookmarked the link, crap. After I read this I really wanted a MSI or DFI. So if you plan on buying this board and want a 1:1 OC higher then look elsewhere as you will never get it unless Asus fixes this problemor you want to settle with using 2T command rate. Other than that its a pretty good board.

[werty316]

New score @ 2.4GHz, 333MHz, 1T, stock voltages

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=103148

I am gonna see if I can get my system to run at 2.5GHz and 2.6GHz.

This 1T bug in my board really sucks but it isn't noticable when palying games.

[pc_man_iac]

NICE WERTY!!! NICE I just wish i had a 2nd 7800gt so i could sli and beat ur score lol

[zachig]

Nice score, werty. Well done!!! :wink:

Have you considered a BIOS update? Maybe it will fix/improve that 1T issue? :roll: :?

[werty316]

Nice score, werty. Well done!!! :wink:

negative on that one. My board originally came with bios 1008 and the newest is 1010 which I am using now and no luck. Apparently I think rev 1 boards don't have this problem.

I'm downloading from a quagmire. I've got a piece of string tied to a pole and I'm watching the bobber go up and down as I watch the bits go by.

[ranron]

Has anyone compared the full version to the free? Cause I want to know if there is a difference in scoring (I have the registered version).

[werty316]

gamershell.com
They have fast servers.

If its like 3dmark03 and 3dmark05 I think the only main difference between the registered and free version is you can choose what benches you want meaning you don't need all the benches likein 03 and 05 to get a final score like the HDR benches. I don't know why futuremark does this. Not running those 2 benches saves a lot of time and more time to bench at different settings.

Kinda like the same way it takes an occasional dump on Call of Duty 2.

Except for the sound part. Sometimes COD2 dumps me out the same way as 3DMark06 does, only with a 2 or 3 sec. sound loop.

Have to power down or hit the reset button and resusitate the poor beastie.

oi new score for me 4,178. I got my 7800gt OC'D to 500Mhzx1.2Ghz, my cpu oc'd to 2.85Ghzso yeah I am happy with that good stuff

[Chickenman]

Me = 6300 with the rig in sig.. need a better cpu and another 7900gt to abuse.

[pc_man_iac]

Wow that was a while ago a mere score in the 4000's makes me sad

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=473474

this is my new one 5282, cant wait till i get my core 2 duo, I hope to destroy 6000 with it, also it greatly pisses me off how bias 3dmark 06 is towards dualcore cpus!!!! Like in the above instance if you look fps wise in games, I beat him in the HDR ones, and SM3, so in RL gaming performacne i think is moe of a compariosn than this 3dmark 06 ****, or 3dmark 05 is good b/c it isnt ridiculously bias to dual core

[Chickenman]

You only just beat me in one of the catagories...


How much did your gfx card cost?

;-)

[werty316]

X1900XTX cards are around $375-400USD.

[pc_man_iac]

it didnt even cost me $300CAD, brand new, have you tried it with a single core processor to see what your score would be? b/c if you do I guarantee you will e hard pressed to hit 5000 letalone 5282

If you take the 948points that your cpu beat my cpu by, and the consequential FPS loss, you would run slower whats ur 3dmark 05 score like that would be a more comparable thing b/c it isnt as favourable to dual core it is more of a a real world performance, where as this one is what might be a real world test.

heres my 05 score
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=2194757

lol...


You're a defensive guy aren't you :lol:

It's true though... you get a higher 3dmark 05 score than me, I only got 11161.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=2227569

My cpu score is still 2200 up on yours so yeah.. you have a better gfx card :grin:

So... wats this all aboot?:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[pc_man_iac]

we'll just wait and see how that works out when I get my core 2 duo system (drool emote wait wtf there is no drool emote WTF) anyways I hope that it is going to purr like a cat in heat....... and destro 6000(in 06 mind you), and obliterate 13k in 05 but I will just have to be patient and wait

[Chickenman]

Yeah, core 2 is awesome.

[pc_man_iac]

I hope it is beyond what it is hiped up to be
also when I get my core 2 duo cpu, I will be getting a legit copy of windows vista ultimate edition

I've just benched my 2x7900GT (SLI) with my X2 3800+ CPU.

BTW, I tried to overclock the cards and set them on 550/1600!!! 3DMark06 ran like charm without any artifacts, but I got a result of around 5400Pts only...:confused: Anyone knows what the problem might be??? Maybe the overclocking is unstable, though it passed 3DMark06 completely? :roll:

Anyway, I'll try again in the following days...:wink:

[werty316]

Cards probably throttled back do to heat. Increase the fan speed at full utilization.

What are your load temps at 40% fan speed?

Also when OC'ing don't jump in big amounts and run a bench every once and while to make sure its stable. Maybe invest in some aftermarket cooling ;)

Yeah, I mightdo so...:roll: Though I think for the meantime, I'll stick with the stock cooler and if it won't be enough, I just won't overclock...as I don't think I really need that overclock right now...:wink:

Thanks anyway, I'll try taking the overclock a bit back, and I'll keep you updated...:mrgreen:

[Scott]

Yeah if you are controlling the fans your self you need them to run at 100% in 3D if you are going to overclock. Plus I would run them at 60% in 3D by default. To nice of cards to burn up.

Yeah, that's what I already did. :mrgreen:

I've set the cards' fans to be at 25% at standard 2D, 40% at low power 3D and 65% at performance 3D. :wink:

Now the cards are currently (not-overclocked) ideling at 53C/57C and reach maximum 68C/72C on LOAD!!! (after running 3DMark06, and RTHDribl Demo).

And, at least for the following few months, I've decided NOT to overclock the cards, as I really don't need it at the moment, and beside that, I don't want to risk the cards...:roll:

So...what do you think about my temps? are they OK? :???:

[darkorb]

u would never need to oc those 7900gt's in sli, what the heat is also fine, u should just set it to 80% if u want, noise shouldnt be that big of a deal while gaming, right? then it can just queit down when not doing anything, so u can sleep silently

Yeah...I also think the temps are quite OK. :roll:

Thanks for your advice :grin: I think I'll still keep my "Power Performance" fan speed at 65%, but if I'll see that the temp are going beyond 70C, I might set it eventually at 80%. :???:

And yes, for the time being, I won't overclock these cards...and that's...FINAL :wink:

[werty316]

I would set the fans to 80-100% at full load since you shouldn't really notice them while gaming. I block out everything around me when gaming.

2400, is that a bit low?

6800gt, not oc
MSI poop mobo

[Raptorfury]

not to me 06 was the breaking point on the 6800 cards ...

[werty316]

2400 isn't really low for a 6800GT as 3dmark06 requires a powerful GPU to get anykind of a decent score.

[XJnine]

My old system which was a 3ghz P4 with a 6800GT got a 2389. My new system which is a Core2Duo e6600 @ 3.55ghz with an 8800GTX gets an 11522. Quite the difference.

[Kougar]

Yep, agree with all the above.

From my review: Average 3dmark06 score was 6,059

Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 2.8ghz

CONGRATS my friend!!! I'll probably buy a 8800GTX as well soon...
I have a planned business trip in about two weeks to China and Hong-Kong, so I'll probably grab one in Hong-Kong. :grin:

I'm just wondering if I can get the XFX 8800GTX XXX Edition in Hong-Kong for a reasonable price :roll:...if not, I'll probably go for Leadtek or Asus, as I didn't see BFG and eVGA selling in Hong-Kong, though I might be wrong...:???:

[Schwarz]

Hey Jules (the dope chaud)
Yah this is the system I built for a friend a little while back and The dope OCed it during the night while the owner was sleeping hahah.
That system is beautiful...its a monster really I've seen him game on it and never seen anything better as of yet.

Anyways welcome to the forums Jules and stick around.
Very cool community out here (not many assholes you would see else where)
Lots of contests also :)

[the_dope_chaud]

thanx buddy...

by the way just to specify, I believe that 8800 gtx was at 625/1050, or something around there...wow shure blows my 6600 out of the water

[Pat123]

Nice..

Good Luck on tht trip to hong-kong.. you should pick up a few and sell them on here.. I would consider buying one.. if it were cheaper than here in the uk.. say around 250 english pounds.. :D

Thanks Pat123...;-) Hopefully I'll able to grab one, but then...only one, as I'm not going to make a fortune by bringing more than one card...:lol:
And beside that, I'm pretty sure the price of 8800GTX is just a litle bit cheaper than the U.S, if at all...but it's cheaper than the U.K, that's for sure...;-)

$550 pounds might be cheap to you but that is around $1000USD which is not cheap considering you can get a 8800GTX in the US for much less.

OK, so I had been using a friend's 6600GT and I was able to squeeze a 1904 score out of 3DMark06.
Then XFX sent me a 7950GT to replace my bad 7900GT and I was able to get 6867.
http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp?projectType=14&projectId=1087315

Not bad in my opinion as it is #4 ranked among all others with my similar hardware.

[ManicMike]

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

[the_dope_chaud]

thats our local hybrid TIM....(thermal interface material)

keeps the heads around here real chilled....


we also have a bong for the watercooling ; )

[Schwarz]

Hahaha Jules I did not notice that when I took the pics with Simon.
Hey BTW I haven't seen you for a while Jules when you gonna come around.
I have to show you something with my PC.
It really sucks man.
I have to use 2 PSU to run my Asus Commando with my Mach 2 GT.
Something the *(&^&*^ Intel chipset does.
I should have gotten a Striker Extreme instead...
Maybe I can still return the commando !

BTW MAnic do you know that Rizzla is actually Riz Lacroix (thats how its supposed to be said since at the end it finishes by LA then there's a cross)
Meaning Rice La Croix.
Paper made from Rice and Lacroix is the name of the maker.

[Xero (1)ne]

3430 on system listed below, gonna get a shiney new sempy 3000+(9x multi woohoo), heard you can get 3+ghz on the newer sempy's on stock cooling. the one i have now from 2001(or around that time) overclocks quite nicely

[zachig]

Here are the 3DMark06 results I achieved with my new Leadtek 8800GTX:

I could have reached a higher overclocked, but I didn't want to risk the card...:-?

[Xero (1)ne]

how hot do the 8800's get? i know the cooler is freaking huge, but i guess it would need it...it seems video cards are drawing more and more power, while cpu's are using less and less....

nevertheless nice scores:jawdrop:

but Scott's quad sli config got in the 9,000's:ahhhhh:

[zachig]

how hot do the 8800's get?
Currently it idles at around 66C and gets to a maximum of 81-82C on heavy load (playing a highly-demanding game or running ATITool for a few minutes. On 3DMark06, it doesn't get over 78C). I think it's quite OK...;-)

but Scott's quad sli config got in the 9,000's:ahhhhh:
Yeah, like werty said, I ran it on the default settings of 3DMark06, which includes 1280x1024 resolution. I bet that Scott ran his cards on a higher resolution, probably 1600x1200...:roll:

[liqnit]

Great score Zachig!
I think if it works good in games (report please if not) other then "RunAway 2" then stay with Stock speed until you feel the need
and again congrats on the new great card

Btw, why doesnt 3Dmark also bench your sound performance? Isn't sound as much a part of the game as the graphics?

Oh...so you gonna have 2GB afterall!!! That's great! :grin: Though I'm not sure you'll benefit too much in 3DMark score (as 3DMark isn't being affected too much by adding more memory and the CPU and GPU after the ones that mostly affect the final score...) after having 2GB installled. But you'll definitely see the difference and get a big boost in games and general performance. ;-)

I'll let you guys know as soon as I'm done testing.

[westy87]

Well everything stock i got 5199 total. OC my cpu to 3.33ghz i got 5480. Gonna play around a bit n see what i can get.

Well I cant reach 5480 again Im averaging around 5350 (SM 2=2060, SM3=2050, CPU=2780) So no idea how they do total score cause that adds up to 6k+ lol. However it says im like 100th out of 111 people with similar systems. This doesnt make me happy indeed! How do i improve this without having to overclock my gpu? It says that the person with best score in my system range is using quad core and 7900gt oveclocked but he is getting 12190 or something! What you think I can try?

LoL for some reason I posted, my 05 score above

New score 10986, I want to break 11k, but it seems so hard

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1930380

Just need that lil more OC on the video card, or maybe CPU, its only 14 more points

[Bio-Hazard]

Just a bit more OC'ing and you'll have your 11,000...............;)

[pc_man_iac]

Ye all I did was add 2 more to the CPU FSB, and a bit to the core, and she broke, now I have my E6600 at 2.8ghz, and my vid barely OC'd, and just finished runnin a stress test for 2 hours, everything passed, so its all good, I am happy, and can let my beast rest a bit

Also I am going to run everything at stock now to see what it gets, just to see how much of an e-peen gain I got from OC'ing it to tits

Sorry for the double post, but U know what I realized, I have become one of those guys that tries to tune the very most out of their system, to the point b4, she blows lol, I remember when I first joined the forums, I saw how some ppl, like volt modified, their ****, and added extra voltage, and diddled with the mem timings, and what not to get the most out of their OC, and I have become one of those ppl, and I like it, when I joined I could barely get .2ghz on my FX 53, now I am gettin 1.1 on my cpu, and a 130 on my vid core, and ~400 on the vid mem core , I am somewhat impressed, lol TY BJORN3D FOR MAKIN ME A TUNER :grin:

Same here, I've also become a bit more crazy with my clocks and timings. I don't even know how my mobo got these timings to where they are...

Just out of curiosity, what cooling do you have on that E6600? Did it get toasty with those clocks?

[pc_man_iac]

I have the Corsair Nautilus 500, and it didn't get toasty at all, according to Coretemp(the newer one that says temps are higher than they are) it hit 52, but ye cuz I looked in the bios right after and it was like 35 so ye, I am more likely to believe bios than the Coretemp

[werty316]

Try v0.94 of CoreTemp as it might give you a better reading; other than that try Speedfan as both of these apps read the internal diode in the CPU rather than an onboard sensor which are not accurate.

[westy87]

I gained about 200 points from OC'ing core from 520 to 549 and mem from 1.5 to 1.61.

Hey guys
I just got done with my 3dmark tests but have a quick question if anyone can help me.

9196 3dmark points is what I get.

But how come when I go to Futuremark website to submit it tells me
Co-operative adapters No
I would guess its not running in SLI...but for some reason its already enabled and it works in Call of Duty 2.

[werty316]

9K seems a bit low for 3Dmark06 with two 8800GTS 320MB cards in SLi.

Double check the control panel.

What drivers are you using?

[Schwarz]

Latest drivers I got on the nvidia website.
I'm just wondering if there might be a problem with 3dmark 2006 and vista 64bit cause like I said it reports my PC as having only one video card...

[werty316]

See what XP gives you.

[Kougar]

I can score over 10,500 3DMarks with a single 320mb GTS card. Your cards are not working together in SLI, and I would suspect the drivers are at fault.

[Schwarz]

I'll get the ones directly from XFX instead of using the nvidia ones.

[zachig]

Yeah, 9K seems way too low!!! :frown: First replace your drivers with the offical ones and keep us updated! ;-) GOOD LUCK :icon_tiphat:

[Schwarz]

I now got 11296 with my CPU oced to 3.46GHz.
Now all I have to find is why 3dmark won't recognise that both of my 8800GTS are enabled...
Its a little ridiculous since it is enable driver wise and it works in COD2.
Maybe its windows vista 64...

[werty316]

Maybe its windows vista 64...
Remember nVidia driver support ain't up to par so it could be that.

[zachig]

Remember nVidia driver support ain't up to par so it could be that.
Yeah, that's might be the reason...:ahhhhh:

[Schwarz]

Well it don't seem to be that either since I just reinstalled windows XP

BTW I got 13446 but it still only says

Processor Intel Core 2 3465 MHz

Physical / Logical CPUs 1 / 2

MultiCore 2 Processor Cores

HyperThreading N/A

Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Graphics Driver NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

System Memory 2048 MB

Disk Space 143.09 GB

Motherboard Manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer INC.

Motherboard Model StrikerExtreme

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP

I really don't know whats wrong, why SLI won't enable itself with 3dmark...

[zachig]

HyperThreading N/A

Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Graphics Driver NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Co-operative adapters No

I think now it's OK, as I see it detects TWO 8800GTS, was it like that before?

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure 3DMark06 doesn't write "SLi" but does write it has TWO Graphics Cards...

I think now your score is much more reasonable with more than 13K points, it's not that you'll be getting twice the score you got with one 8800GTS, though (again...) I might be wrong.

Let's wait for the "experts"...;-)

[Schwarz]

Yah it says Graphics card 8800 and graphics driver 8800

I would have thought I would have hit at least 15000 like Koug said its what he gets with only one card.
Though his might be OCed I think ima oc mine too.
And when I get my CPU higher then 3.46 I think I might be able to hit close to 15000

[werty316]

When running SLi, "Co-operative adapters" should say Yes". However I did some checking and that score of 13K seems right for two 8800GTS 320MB cards in SLi.

Just to be sure though give 3Dmark05 a run and see what score you get; you should get around 20K in 3Dmark05.

[Schwarz]

Ill go DL it right now. (3dmark05)
So you say that 13k is the norm... ok I guess.

[werty316]

Based on some reviews I found, its seems so.

[Schwarz]

Thanks a lot werty this reasures me :)

[westy87]

Have you tried running it with only one card in, and then straight after with 2 in and compare scores?

[Schwarz]

Yah I did.
I get around 7000 with one if I remember correctly.
Now I'm installing the old drivers.
97.44_forceware_winxp_international
I'll see if that works if not then I would guess SLI is enabled but 3dmark doesn't recognise it.
Becuase I do get a huge improvement in COD2.

[Schwarz]

HAHAHA it works now !!
With the old drivers...
I guess there is a problem with 3dmark posting no SLI or the drivers doesn't let 3dmark see that its running in SLI...
Let me run 3dmark right now and see if I still get the same number of 3dmark points.

[westy87]

Cmonnnn im waiting lol. Actually im gona run mine for the fun of it again

[Schwarz]

13213

MMM I think I may have stumbled upon something here.
It could only be that 3dmark doesn't recognise the SLI in the newer drivers.
Maybe a driver bug.

OR a NVIDIA cheat in the drivers as they have nicely done in the past.
Maybe to show that a single 8800GTS would score 13000.
So when people check 3dmark scores they see WOW a single GTS scoring this high...
Hope not but they have done these kind of things in the past.

Anyways even if it says enabled or not I still get the same score.

[westy87]

Nice! More than double me and i just hit a P.B. lol.
5666

[zachig]

Anyways even if it says enabled or not I still get the same score.
I find the 13K as normal, but I wish all the best and GOOD LUCK and figuring out the problem (if there is any), while trying to break the 15K barrier...:lol: ;-)

[darkorb]

3500+ @ 2.4ghz was 930 for cpu score. New X2 3800+ 2.0ghz i got 1400.

@ 2.4gz, 1800 for score, so im pretty happy about that. Overall score is around 2600. Can't wait for that 8800gts, too bad its holiday monday, or else i wouldve gotten it :D

[westy87]

This is a little table ive been making to help keep track of things. For each number in the list i have saved the 3dMark file 1, 2, 3 corresponding to the appropriate entry in the list. If any one can think of things to add to the list feel free to suggest

[werty316]

Did some runs and got 8004 GPUs stock and 9160 (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/werty316/afa0e85e.png) GPUs OC'd.

[darkorb]

GPU(S)? what u got??

Two 7900GS

Just to be sure though give 3Dmark05 a run and see what score you get; you should get around 20K in 3Dmark05.

I'd agree. I have 2 EVGA 8800GTS SC 320MB cards in SLI, I broke 16k but that is with the cards O'clocked to 660/890. Also the E6600 was at 3825Mhz. I know 3DMarks aren't supposed to be a CPU benchmark, but they really like CPU speed, especially the older 2001 and 2003 versions.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1960962

In the 3dMark 2005 I get about 24k.

[darkorb]

ewww noob

whats ur cpu at? mine at 2.4 got 950 i believe, the 3500+

[Schwarz]

Yah I guess if I OCed my cpu past 3.3GHz and my cards I would easily get higher numbers.
I ran my CPU at 3.5GHz almost to the end of 3dmark 06 and in one of the test I hit 100FPS at one point but sadly it crashed during the last test so I think 16K isn't far fetched and I could get to that.
Though like I said I am waiting for some better ram to start playing with my settings again.

[zachig]

I just ran 3DMark06 on my new system :grin: and here's what I got (nothing is overclocked...yet. Everything at STOCK):

10835 Pts :grin:

http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp?projectType=14&XLID=0&UID=9599958

And that with my 8800GTX running @stock, as I CAN'T overclock it under VISTA...:frown:

Anyway knows a way to overclock it under Vista (without having to flash a different BIOS) except ATITools, which SHOULD WORK under Vista, but somehow, DOESN'T work for me...:frown:

EDIT/UPDATE:

I found out that nVidia nTune is working properly for me under Vista, so I just overclocked my 8800GTX a bit to 600/2000 (instead of 576/1800 at stock) and here's the new 3DMark06 Score I got:

11264 Pts

Ya, Athlon 64 X2s are better as has been said.Inbuilt memory controller works very good for them too.I'll try to replace it with a C2D as well in future.

And a PD 934 & every 9 series PD has 4MB of L2 cache & they are built on 65nm technology while my 8 series PD has 2MB & 90nm manufacturing process.That's the reason why he has got 1500.

EDIT :- I don't think there's an PD called 934.It should be 930 or 935 or 940.

[darkorb]

wooops sry, 935*

[officermartinez]

This is on my old Abit IN9 32x max board.. It sucked with my quadcore. But, now that I have an XFX 680i LT board, its been smooth sailing since.. That score was on air cooled cards on a water cooled minor overclocked QX6700. I have since purchased a vapochill unit and watercooling my vid cards.. I should easily be close to 18,000.
