3DMark 06 Scores

[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

I havent done it in a while but with Vista i got about 7200 on my current rig.

15,958, damnit cruel world gimme 16k

CPU at 3.8,(8xmulti)
vid 810/1110/1910

CPU @ 42,37,41,36

Also in vista

[pc_man_iac]

Heck yes broke 16,000 on a single card in vista, 16,019 to be exact

CPU 475x8=3.8 @1.52v, temps 44,37,38,44
GPU 811/1115/1912
Mem 950, 5-5-5-15, @2.2v

All this and its in Vista lol?

I need to watercool. I'm at 1.464 and can't run prime95 because my processor loads way to hot. It idles at 35-36-35-34 but loads at over 70. Then I got scared and turned off prime 95 cause it scared me.

[pc_man_iac]

@ 3.05ghz?

[srpeters18]

No, I haven't updated my sig yet because I'm testing. I'm at 3.4 right now.
Vcore is at 1.456 (1.5 in BIOS)

[pc_man_iac]

at stock mine idles at like 31-34, but then under load at 3.8 only 37-44, figure that out.....

[srpeters18]

Like I said, I need water.

13265 for me. That's my first run so far. I'm only using the trial though so most options aren't unlocked, everything just runs default.

Quick off topic question though:
When you guys get temps at load, what do you consider load? Maybe this is a dumb question but I've been checking my temp logs and running CoD4 maxed out or running 3dmark06 for instance, my hottest core hits about 60. Prime95 drives it way higher though. But if nothing else is raising the temp that high, am I gonna be safe?

Most people do run the defaults, and that is what is seen as the way to compare, people who get like 30k, and all that are all running it at stock settings and not fiddling with the options.

Prime 95 Is load, b/c CoD4 won't always push your CPU to the max, but say you were encoding some stuff it can, and you always want to see what the potential highest temp is, b/c then you know the worst case scenario. I personally run CPU Burn-In as it is what I started to test my OC's with way back when, you just open multiple instances of (1 for every core you have), put in your time and let it run.

Okay, that's kinda what I figured but I really like this overclock, just not the heat it produces at load. It'll idle all day at 35-ish, but load is really high. I'm just gonna let it run for a few days to make sure its stable and then start cutting back voltage and I'll see where I get.

It's not the best score cause I'm still running AMD after years of running them, but here it is. Waiting to see if the new 45nm AMD offerings come up to par, if they don't I'm headed to the Intel Camp.



And I ran it on this rig:



Asus M3A X2 6400, 4 gig Mushkin, 2 X Maxtor DiamondMax Sata 2, XFX 8800GT 512 Alpha Dog, Swiftech mcp350 pump, Apogee Gt Extreme Water Block, Zalman NB Block, Swiftech triple 120 Rad W/3 Yate Loon 43CFM fans. Idle temps 24C Orthos load X 2 hours 40C.

All those swish Intel scores are about enough to make me switch after 15 years of AMDs. I watered in anticipation of going to Intel, it'd be a shame to go Intel and have to wait to do some uber insane FSB over clocks.

That's a very healthy score for a dual-core system. 3DMark06 has always given QuadCore processors a higher score out of the gate, so honestly comparing dual to quad based 3DMark06 scores isn't really fair for the dualies. Especially heavily overclocked Quads, which seem to be given bonus points.

Since my system configuration is rather similar to yours, here is my score. It actually scores closer to 15,000 but I was focused solely on the CPU scores for this one. I had to modify my watercooling loop a wee bit to clock the CPU that high stable enough to run anything for more than a few minutes. And it was by no means 100% fully stable. Did it only for the Gigabyte overclocking contest.

13,251 3DMark06 score
6,615 CPU Score.

I've run higher but I only post the stable results, there's not much headroom on the X2 6400, maxed out multiplier. So I watered it, watered the NB for FSB clocks, and I've hit 12500 but not entirely stable.

I decided to get uber insane with it and get a water Block for the GPU and do the volt mod on the GPU bios so I can suicide run 450FPS in LightsMark and see what it does for me, currently I run 400FPS with out the mod.

The GPU will be on a dedicated water cooling setup, all I'm waiting on is a Swiftech Stealth 8800 water block.

I'm holding off on going Intel until the 2nd quarter 2008 when AMD rolls out their 45nm duals and quads to see what reviews say about them and how they fare against Intels current offerings. With me it's Amd's last chance to impress me before I go intel after 15 years of AMD loyalty. This was a loyalty build, next build performance only considerations Intel or AMD which ever is rocking it hardest.
