i got 5621 with the system in my sig, is this good or bad? what can i do to raise it?
 
Well I guess it could get better. My Score is 5604 with the system in my sig. Look around for 3dmark guides if you want to get better scores. There may not be a huge increase but you never know.
 
5621? In 3DMark03?

Ive never been a fan of 3DMark, but I downloaded it yesterday to check it out with my 6800GT. My score is 11,386 on this system:
A7NX-DLX
AthlonXP 2.2Ghz
1GB PC3200
PNY GeForce 6800GT @ 400Mhz

Am I wrong to think your score is pretty low for what you have? Like I said, I dont know a whole lot about 3DMark, but you are scoring almost half what I got and the 9800 doesnt suck.
 
I got 67** (cant remember exactly) with the system in my sig. The 6800 cards really do kick ass.
Edit: My score was 6768. Your score sounds about right. You can increase your score by overclocking, getting better (lower latency) ram, new video card, etc. BUT, as long as your framerates are acceptable, your 3Dmark score is useless.

yeah they do.

my 3DM2K3 marks went from like 6500 (or so) to 12,680 when I switched from a 9800 Pro to a 6800 GT.
 
I get 6,596 3DMarks using the new Cat 4.8s (slight 3DMark boost for me) and my 9800 Pro @ 435/400.

Is your Barton or 9800 Pro overclocked? I got most of my performance increase over you from overclocking.

Try your Barton @ 11x200 and OC your Radeon as high as it will go and let know how it goes :)

My 9800 Pro has a VGA Silencer + OCZ RAM Sinks, however..
 
I got 12136 I think. I will get higher, I hope, when I order new RAM. This 6800 GT is so damn good. :cool:

You better believe it, and I find it very interesting how these latest two "families" of cards have reversed a lot of what we have been seeing from 3DMark2001 and 3DMark03. Now things are to the point where these newest cards are being so severly bottlenecked by most ppl's CPU's, that overclocking the video card isnt having quite the same effect it used to, because these cards are already starving for more "power". The same goes for your cpu/ram.....except now people are starting to see more and more improvements in 3DMark03 from a cpu/ram overclock then they are in 3DMark2001.....just because of the way 2001 is aging.....it's finally on its way out. That's not to say that 3DMark2001 is suddenly irrelevant, but todays hardware is finally surpacing the capabilities of 3DMark2001, and rendering it less and less accurate as time does on. I'm going to stick with 3DMark2001 until It gets to the same point as 3DMark2000 (where I can't even load it in XP) just because its one of the few synthetics that has stood the test of time and remained relatively unscathed.

FYI, that score of 5621 would be average for a stock 9800Pro setup......but your scores could easily be given a nice little boost if you overclocked the 9800 a bit. With my sig system I do not gain that much from overclocking my 2.8C in 3DMark03, but I am able to pull in another 1,000 or so points after the video card has been pumped up. ;) Give it a shot, let us know how things go for ya.

435/400? Might need to do a bit a tweaking. 426/385 got me 6908. You have anything running while you did that bench?

You have a Barton core, 150MHz higher clock, and the 200-300 point increase from having an XT BIOS (I assume you have an R360 core?) you should be beating me by more.
 
3dmark 03 is entirely GPU limited. Cpu's really mean nothing. I've seen asstastic cpu's with a high end GPU score as high as that.
 
Hey guys. I don't have a screenshot or link, but I just got a score of 12,829 in 3dmark03 at 1024x768x32 bit. I have an Athlon FX-53, Geforce 6800 Ultra (eVGA), 1 gig of Corsair, 74 gig raptor running on the older socket 940 Asus SK8V.

I am curious if anyone has this same setup with a new socket 939 board. Would like to compare scores.

Geforce 6800 Ultra does in fact pwn :)

Actually the CPU has a lot to do with the first test, as that relies on the cpu a lot.
 
mine went from 966 to 9956 cause i upgrade my vid card from a 5200 ultra to a 6800gt.

As PimpBot5000 put it, cpu doesn't affect the score. I've run these test at 2.0Ghz all the way to 2.6Ghz and only seen 20-50 point difference. For your question though, yes it is a r360 core.
 
I got 5220 with the system below...hoping that a 6800GT will change things :)
 
Whats your processor ?

Are you running 3dmark2003 with other applications running like a firewall,etc ?

If you open the task manager are many services running that are taking up your ram ?

I have a 9800 pro atm with 256 bit interface(aslong as your memory on your board is in an L shaped pattern you have a 256 but interface. if unsure you can download rivatuner and run it it will tell you.

Most people when they test close all other running applications, and turn off all AA, AF and set evrything to max performance(and many overclock a bit just for the test too)

With my current rig of a p4 3.2 northwood and 1 gig of ram, and a 128mb 9800 pro(256 bit interface) i usaully score 6200-6500 , When i turn up the default clock speeds up a bit i might get a few hundred more points so thats not a bad score. Depending on your Cpu also.
You might play in your cmos and try things but dont do anything your unsure of. All in all its descent(like i said depending on your processor). If you have a 2.8 or higher you should be able to hit 6000 or a bit better or a tad less.

I wish I had an R360 core, I'd pull almost as much as you then :(

BTW your FSB is higher and that does make a noticeable difference, at least in my experience..
 
so if I turn down my resolution and color depth I can score higher in 3DMark03? Never thought about that (but I do see the logic behind it).

Just want to trick my friends. :D

I got a 12015 running at 1280x1024x32 (my monitors max res) on my PNY 6800GT (410/1100); thats as high as I want to oc until the AC solution comes out).
 
Thank you so much people.....as if it wasn't already bad enough, now I want my damn 6800GT more then ever.....grr. :mad: ;)

Ah well, I guess I'll have to make due with my 7,5xx with my 9800XT for now. :cool:
 
Barton 2500+ @ 2.3GHz
ABIT NF7-Sv2
1Gb Kingston HyperX PC3200 (BH-5 2-2-2-5) @ 408MHz
BFG 6800GT OC @ 433/1160


3DMark03 = 4725 .......... This seems low to me, any suggestions as to why and how to correct it?
 
Well, I picked up my card today.....and I'm sitting on the score in my sig.....look down.

The thermal pads on the memory on my Inno3d were VEEERY gay and pretty thick.....the ram now has AS5 on it instead and I'm letting the comp run 24/7 for a few days before I go for 1.1GHz on the memory again. I'm quite happy with the card.

Just a little something to add, you can no longer say that the CPU "doesn't matter" in 3DMark03.....it really depends on what video card you have. With my 6800GT for example, the card is so CPU bottlenecked that overclocking the CPU has FAR more effect on my Aquamark3/3DMark03 scores then it used to.....because you're essentially giving the video card that much more headroom. Here's an example.....in Aquamark3 wiht my 9800XT I would gain about 1,500 points by overclocking my 2.8C to 3.43GHz.....now with the 6800GT I gain just over 7,000.....because ever little bit of that cpu overclock is helping to feed data to the video card that much faster.

The same is true in 3DMark03.....but I haven't actually check it out yet. My point still stands though, you can no longer say that the CPU doesn't matter in 3DMark03.....as the new cards of today are really changing the way things are done, and they're doing a great job at it to boot. I can hardly wait to get either another P4C800-E or an IC7-MAX3 to replace this slowass AI7.....cus another couple hundred MHz on the cpu will put me right up around 68k - 69k.....and I'll be that much closer to my goal of 70,000.

I just thought I'd throw that in.....you might not have meant it (those "cpu doenst matter" comments) in the same context as I'm addressing them.....but I just wanted to make sure.

PS: This is kinda funny.....it seems I'm the only one of the forums with an Inno3d 6800GT.....I have yet to see one other person with one in the sig, or show a pic of one. :p
