3DMark 06 Scores

**werty316** · 08-03-2007, 06:57 PM

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

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

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

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?

Not when compared to something that is a bit faster.

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.

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

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

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.

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** · 08-03-2007, 08:12 PM

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** · 08-03-2007, 08:16 PM

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.

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.
