Porky, what result do you get for 3D Mark 01?

Mr.Ferrari · 01-23-2006, 01:58 PM

3dMark05: EDIT: 5066 with the rig in my sig. Stock Card

SuperPI: 39s

rspassey · 01-24-2006, 07:18 PM

Just re-ran 3D Mark 05.... got a score of 8077 (my highest so far). This is with the rig in my sig, and I am running with the latest SLI drivers.

jfk · 01-24-2006, 08:43 PM

My best now, with Cat 5.11 drivers in my sig rig, is 7203 on 3DMark05. Finally got that old technology X850XTPE through the 7200 mark that had been holding me back.

3354 3dmark05

ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
Athlon XP 3000+ 400MHz FSB
1GB DDR400 RAM PC 3200 CAS 2.5
80GB WD SATA 7200rpm 8MB cache
GeForce 6600GT 128MB AGP

thats up about 300 from last score with old 768MB CAS 3 RAM

Mr.Ferrari · 01-27-2006, 04:48 PM

Ran 3dmark with my new card and got a new score of 6100.

FireByyrd · 02-01-2006, 08:05 PM

I have a question.. on 3dmark05, why do I get such a low score on the CPU scores? And it lags unbelievablely, can someone explain thanks.

AMD4000+
EVGA 7800GT

Both stock.

7432 3Dmark05 score

blue60007 · 02-01-2006, 08:27 PM

The CPU test will lag no matter what CPU you have...even if you had a therotical FX-90 or whatever, it'll still lag badly. CPUs are horribly inneffecient at rendering the images, so it's going to be slow.

When testing the CPU, the video cards *aren't* used. Thus, the CPU does all the work, and like blue said - the CPU plain out sucks at rendering images - if it did a better job, then there wouldn't be a need for video cards.

FireByyrd · 02-02-2006, 04:52 PM

Ah, understood :P

Spearball · 02-02-2006, 06:42 PM

Here are my scores. No overclocking.

Is this a normal result in aquamark 3? 82406
3DMark2000: 29067
3DMark 05: 9453
3DMark 06: 4784

For super pi i got 34.

What do you guys think?

A-TECH · 02-05-2006, 12:58 AM

Hi guys. I just got my first build going and did my first benchmarking. Let me know what you think. No overclocking, or tweeks of any kind.

3Dmark05

8306 Game Tests
5025 CPU Tests

AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego
2x 1 gig Corsair Value Select (2 gig total) memory
EVGA 7800GTX KO Edition (only 1)
Asus A8n32 Motherboard

bla bla bla.

A-TECH · 02-05-2006, 12:59 AM

BTW, are there any tweeks or setting I should look into on a new system build? Bios? I'm a total newb, and don't know squat about this stuff yet.

Thanks.

kingsownall · 02-05-2006, 06:03 AM

reran 35mark05 got 4935. in my opinion tahts pretty low...

FireByyrd · 02-06-2006, 03:10 PM

A-TECH, I would defintely not reccomend you to tweak your settings such as overclocking because your computer is at the high end standard, and really... theres no reason for you to do so. Unless you play the overclocking game, then go ahead, but what I hear is your not too sure about it, so I'll reccomend you not to start :P your cpu is fine the way it is.

FireByyrd · 02-06-2006, 03:15 PM

To be a hypocrite... I've overclocked my ATI 9700 PRO stock 325mhz to 475... before

It was sorta stable too, played Doom 3 on high settings... But then it crashed and my whole computer exploded in flames.

No im joking, but it had VPU recover... Played for 4 hours.

No, I have no desire to overclock anything. I'm just curious to know if there is anything I should do when a new computer is put together, other than just install the drivers, which is all I've done. It's my first build, and I'm not very knowledgeable about all the tech stuff.

On auto detect w/ Doom 3, it puts it at high setting. I've been playing it on ULTRA, added some anti-aliasing, and it runs it fine for hours.
It says it requires 512 MB of memory (video card memory?), but my card is only a 256. My RAM is 2 gig, so does it use some of the system RAM in this case? It runs fine, though, no problems.

Thanks.

FireByyrd · 02-08-2006, 02:30 PM

Yeah, they say that, but the truth is it doesn't really matter. However there might be "texture thrashing"... which I played ultra and beat the game, I didn't notice any thrashing at all. So its up to you, but it won't hurt the card or anything if thats what your worried about.

By system ram you mean the 2GBs ? Yeah, of course it will use it.

For the video card? Probably not. IIRC Doom III needs 128 MB of video RAM.

FireByyrd · 02-08-2006, 02:59 PM

Oh sorry, I meant by Doom 3 using the RAM like "stick" as for processing.

Thanks. Looking at other people's scores via the futuremark site, there are several systems that look to have the same guts as mine, but they score a lot better.
Does the system specs they list tell if the system is running in SLI? All I see is one card listed on all of the systems.

Propain · 02-11-2006, 08:04 PM

ok got 5668 going to turn off that AA and AF stuff later and OC sum and let yall know the results.

cheers

edit: played with some settings and got it to 6148 and Super Pi at 1M was 40.359s

jfk · 02-28-2006, 07:37 PM

Oh yeah!

New video card (X1900XT) and new scores. These are first run, with new drivers that aren't totally optimized, and no overclocks on the vid card (CPU is at 2.4Ghz). I think I'm gonna love this card.

3DMark05=9367
3DMark06=4791

jfk · 03-01-2006, 01:45 PM

Well, with a slight 10Mhz increase in core and memory, I'm up to:

3DMark05=10,217
3DMark06=5,409

Hopefully, once the card breaks in I can clock it up to XTX levels and push both the 11,000 and 6,000 levels for each test respectively. Woot!!!!

kingsownall · 03-01-2006, 02:58 PM

omfg. nice score. *jump and faints. too bad the cards dam expensive rofl.

ssahl · 03-09-2006, 12:02 PM

just got a new GeForce 7800GS

not bad for an old athlon XP cpu and an agp video card

more then double what I scored with my GeForce 6600GT
