heya just trying to compare with a few of ya guys here on what its getting since you really cant search ...

cant post a link because i can not validate my result so heres what i got

18459 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 7184
SM 3.0 Score 8504
CPU Score 5541


Specs
Q9650 @ 4050 MHz
EVGA 790i FTW Digital PWN
8GB DDR3
Diamond Radeon 4890 1GB
 
crap i dont have this game, so i cant join in but would be nice to see what others are getting. either way im enjoying my new card
 
18.5k with a stock 4890 seems high.
Maybe the 4 GHz quad pads the score more than I expected?
 
That does seem high. I get just over 18k with an o/c'd 4850 X2.

3dmark06 is very much a gaming + cpu bench mark now days. No real logic behind it any more. If they only measured the effect that the CPU has on limiting the GPU it would be fine (the game tests, like 3dmark01 and 03), but it has an outright CPU benchmark built in which reflects pretty much nothing to do with gaming. No idea why it is in there.
 
Sapphire 4890 at stock speeds, i7 920 @ 3.6GHz and 6gb ocz ddr-3

18053 3dmarks
sm 2.0: 6716
sm 3.0: 8100
cpu: 6318

Well I'd love to brag I get higher than 18k,but I do not. I'm away so I cannot validate until the weekend.

Are you writing the 'posted via [H] Mobile device' or is that the forums.
 
I am posting from my Blackberry Storm. Read the notice on top of every page. [H] now offers a mobile version of the forums.
 
Does seem low to me.

When you get a chance try doing a simple overclock using "overdrive" in your CCC controller.

I had heard that the HD4890 should be about 20% better than an HD4870 and this is what I was expecting.
 
I am still amazed it is faring better than my dual core gpu. Bummer for me.

I agree....I get just under 21k with a Q9650 at the same speed and a 260GTX...so, I would expect the 4890 to beat the 260...

I'm not up to speed on the newer cards, so I am assuming the 4980 is a better card than the 260...am I correct?

Did 3dmark06 release a new version with lower graphics?
Isn't ~18k 8800GT SLi territory? Isn't the 9800GX2 around 19k? Aren't dual GTX 280's around 22k?

GTX 280 SLi = 21k with this processor:
Processor(s): Intel Core 2 Quad QX9650 @ 4GHz (400MHz x 10)

Am I missing something?
Or are some [H] users talking out of their asses? We're talking about 3dmark06, not Vantage. If that helps...
 
I can consistently pull 20k+ in 3dmark06 with my 2x 8800GT's in SLI.

How fantastic for you. I wonder, what did you eat for lunch today?
I was referring to stock video cards, of course.

Wow, what crawled up your panties? I was giving you a frame of reference.
That's with my cards running stock. Overclocked I break 22k.

no ass talking here..:)

here is my score..20,115...although I did say just under 21K, the only one I have online is this one...
I can certainly put up a 21k if its needed...

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=10082872

and this is with a Q9650 @4050 and a single 260...just as I stated.

Your not gonna call me out on that small overclock are you?..:)

Well when someone is running a stock card, it's not really useful to bring in card overclocked quite to its limits as a reference point. At those speeds the GTX 260 destroys even the GTX 280. A stock GTX 280 gets about 19k in 3dmark06.
Using your logic, I guess that means the GTX 260 is better than the GTX 280. Since your GTX 260 is scoring higher.

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

anyone who is running a Q9650 @ 4.0 isn't gonna run their video card at stock...so when that person posts up a 3d mark score, asking if its any good, the thought that his card was at stock never crossed my mind.

My first post is still valid IMHO..his score is low....why its low was never discussed....if his card is at stock clocks, then its fine....
My response to you was just to show that I was not talking out my ass with my score.....no where in that post did you ask for stock clocked scores , you just offhandedly asked for proof of what we said we scored...which Zoson and I both posted
 
I'm allowed to assume stock clocks if you don't specify them.
Sorry that's just how it goes.

You certainly are....but that's where we are different...when I click on the little red [H] and come in here....I assume the latter....
Sorry that's just how it goes.
 
I'd like to see some well tuned OC scores as well.

If you can do it. If not no problem. I'll be keeping an eye on this card. It should be able to perform better than the HD4870.
 
Can we see a Vantage run @ Performance default preset?

My 285 SLI is running low at P23K for some reason...
 
Just stuck in my 2 4890s set at 900/1100 on a p45 8x mobo, 900/1100 clocks on cards.

overall 22867
sm 2.0 8514
sm 3.0 11475
cpu 6178

The funny thing is, I got over 20K on 4830s cf in this same rig....not so funny really. Over 20K on a single gtx 285 also.

ths guy with the big scores on his 8800gt sli setup has a 4.8+ gig cpu also, that will help.

seems like lots of setups will pull 20k, it takes a good bit more to push it up alot more.

Yet you assumed overclocked settings for my initial post, when in fact, they were stock.
Choose a story and stick to it.

I thought 3dmark06 was more influenced by CPU speed and was hence CPU bound at default settings?

For reference, I did 17892 on my old P5B and CCC 8.12 with XP SP3

3dMark06 does measure CPU performance combined with the GPU. It gives 3 different scores and one of them is heavily based on the CPU.


Knowing this the HD4890 should still be able to put out much higher 3dMark06 scores based on the performance of other 4800 series cards which have been documented many, many, many times.


It's just one benchmark amongst many. It's useful if you know how to read it and understand how it relates to the performance of other GPUs.

Feel free to educate me as I am clueless.
 
lodingi should read "how" instead of "hot" in the last sentence.

That may make more sense to you.


Besides 3dMark06 results I'd also like to know if the HD4890 can pump up the Enhanced Anti-Aliasing & Anisotropic Filtering powers to 32x. "16 x 32x" is the max settings.
