Hi, ive been doing some benchmarking with 3d mark 06.

First question i have is, on the part where it is like in the desert and you can see all of those little space planes flying around, that is the same place that is in the "game" it runs like CRAP. not when i play the game but when i do the whole benchmark.

What is wrong with this, because i dont think this is normal.

Also this is my score, are they ok?
Found out that i didnt have any aa on so i did it again. so the below 3 numbers are with no aa
SM2 4484
HDR/SM3 4733
CPU 2744

Did it again with 8x aa and 1280x1024 rez. here are my scores
Sm2 3115
HDR/SM3 2697
CPU 2742
Specs are in sig.
 
zYou should be running at 1280x1024 without any AA or AF.

The "desert" test is a CPU test, designed to be very slow.

Your score appears about right.
 
So like to get the best results do you guys run 3dmark at the lowest possible settings and that score is like THE score?
 
you cant change the settings unless you buy it. Which is why most people run it with no aa and no af.
 
The CPU Tests are supposed to be slow. What's happening is that the graphics are behind rendered by your CPU, not the GPU. If you can get 2fps that would be VERY high.

Yep, and it's more than just graphics. I believe it's also rendering AI for each little guy you see on the map, though I might be mistaken. I would assume so though because 2005 uses it JUST for graphics and even on my 3500 I got at least 5 FPS...

I think all of 3D mark has to be scripted... IE, there's no "intelligence" it's just run in a start-to-stop basis.

That way it stays even throughout trials.
