I know, I know, stoopid synthetic benchmark but...just a baseline to see what is happening...

I overclocked it to 400/1100 straight out of the box. Scores are as follows:

3DMark Score 11201 3DMarks
GT1 - Wings of Fury 213.0 FPS
GT2 - Battle of Proxycon 96.0 FPS
GT3 - Troll's Lair 78.3 FPS
GT4 - Mother Nature 62.2 FPS

Looks about right?

Off to play some FarCry and UT2K4....be back soon with my opinions compared to my 9800p-->XT
 
P4c 2.8 @ 3.3
1gig Geil PC4000 1:1 @ 236mhz
BFG 6800GT OC

My score seems a bit low compared to those. I suspect my AMD mobile at 2.3ghz is a bit less powerful than those 3.2ghz P4's, as well as my ram is only running at 333fsb.

Taking that in consideration it would seem a bit more like it?

tranzcend....looking at your framerates in that published score I see I beat you on proxycon, trolls, and mother nature we basically tie, but you smoke me on the first test, wings.

yours:(mine)
GT1 - Wings of Fury
249.4 (mine 213)

GT2 - Battle of Proxycon
91.9 (mine 96)


GT3 - Troll's Lair
76.5 (mine 78.3)


GT4 - Mother Nature
62.3 (mine 62.2)


Weird eh?

Well your card is overclocked to 6800U speeds, mine is stock. The tests you beat/tied me on are much less CPU dependent than Game Test 1.

Ahh yes I understand....

I have it running at 409/1130 now and I get:

3DMark Score 11433 3DMarks
GT1 - Wings of Fury 212.7 FPS
GT2 - Battle of Proxycon 98.3 FPS
GT3 - Troll's Lair 80.2 FPS
GT4 - Mother Nature 63.8 FPS
CPU Score 691 CPUMarks
CPU Test 1 76.4 FPS
CPU Test 2 12.4 FPS
Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 3315.2 MTexels/s
Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 6303.4 MTexels/s

Not bad and my idle temps are @61c and load seeing 71c as fast as I can leave the game and look at the control panel temps...
 
I am doing a fresh install of XP....more to come....I was not happy with the way FC was running...
 
I cant wait for my PNY Ultra... Also stepping up from a 9800XT, and also with a XP mobile...

I run mine at 2.4GHz/1.8v Can get to 2.5 with the air conditioning on... benchable... probably not stable...

To get better scores in 3dmark... set the ram timings as low as you can.... cas 2 2-2 (5,6,7,9 or 11) Raising the FSB will give better scores too... if you can get up to 216-225 with out raising the mem timings too much, DO IT.
 
I am no fanboy of video card companies... I will go for whatever seems to be a better performer and a better deal... the 6800 looks better.

I am switching from a 9800XT to a (soon to be) 6800Ultra...

It isn't so much the speed, but the features... Yes, Nvidia will be faster in openGL and in some D3D games... and ATI will be faster in some games...

But this time around.. pixel shader 3.0 is more impressive than 3Dc...

I can run the ruby demo on my 9800XT about as fast as my friends X800pro ( he is also upgrading to 6800U)... it looks almost as good too (The 3Dc isnt very dramatic)

PS 3.0 on the other hand is an expanded set of instructions, etc.. for pixel shader work...

Games will be out that take advantage of this feature long before this card is obsolete... Far cry is just the start... PS 2.0 can do some cool effects... PS 3.0 can do better effects more efficiently...
 
I'd rather see more OCed results, I can get stock numbers from the review articles

say what? You're running nearly 4ghz, lol, and I get the same score as you at 3.1ghz. ONce again, you prove my point, ATI fanboi's are the w0rst.

Hehe, nice 0wNag3 :p

agreed, that was weak bigtime. 3.9 ghz processor, no kidding 124xx in 3dmark. Back down to 3.0/3.2 speeds, maybe high 10's, low 11's on that pro. **YAWN**

now now, lets be civil oozish ;)
but yeah i agree with you....with a 3.9ghz cpu he should of thuoght of something better to say than that.
 
Hey all,

Just got my BFG 6800GT yesterday from Fry's here in Glendale, AZ.

Within minutes out of the box, I had it detect the best clock settings, and it said 425, 1110. Sweet! I have it currently at 425 core, 1100 mem.

With my system - see sig - I get 12705 in 3DMark03

This is twice what my old 5950 Ultra scored... I love this card :)

its a card benchmark..... but you should know that...cpu has very little to do with o3....

my card is a poor overclocker too..

i guess since i type in english not this C34P you must be right
 
Clock your cpu down to a speed that one of these guys have (even then your fsb would probally be higher as most of them have it at stock) and then see how your card compares. Yes, cpu is a less determining factor in 03 but a fast cpu does help when we have such powerful cards out.

I guess its just coincidence then that all the top guys on ORB have P4s at 4ghz or A64s at 3ghz.

If the cpu has so little to do with 03, put your money where your mouth is and run the benchmark at 3.1ghz.

at 260 fsb huh? so what is your point again..

all you boyz answer is my cpu is so fast the card just along for the ride..well thanks i guess...


(Doors Blown OFF!!!!)

sorry about your luck
 
You've quoted him twice, just quit blowing smoke if your going to post negative comments about others scores unless you can prove us wrong with a link of your score when you cpu is clocked at the same of one of the guys who posted on the first page.
 
all I said was the cards are close enough in speed in doesnt really matter.

If you cant deal with it tough cookies.

My system speed is what it is..You want me to apoligize for having a race horse..

what do you want me to do?
provide all the poor little children with fast computers..

so if the card is not doing as well on a slow system

you have cpu limited it...

the x800 scale better with cpu than the 6800.....the card has more shit left in it
than the 6800 I guess.
 
Like i said I told you want to do, if your gonna post negitive comments its really pointless. You claim that they are close in 3dmark03, but when not at the same cpu speed you have no proof. I really dont care how fast your computer is, but to say something without proof is somthing else. I dont see how you dont undertand this. Show us a link to a score of yours with the same cpu and I'll quit bugging you. I promise :p :p :p
 
well they were looking for oc'd scores, so there you have what an oc'd x800pro can do w/ a close to 4ghz processor. now you have what an oc'd 6800GT can do w/ a 3.7ghz processor. since the poster was looking for 6800GT scores i think this thread is coming along well. if this thread is accurate, we can see that an oc'd 6800GT will score approx 1000 more points than an oc'd x800pro given similar processors (200mhz on a p4 near 4ghz = nearly irrelevant)

Pretty much summed up what i was thinking.

edit:
here are some comparisons taken from a benchmarker from nvnews (please put all forum bias aside, this guy obviously paid for a x800 and a 6800 so i doubt hes a fanboy)

I'm not really sure what's up with the 2k1 scores but I believe its driver related...but all else looks good too me....and I haven't even touched the clocks yet.....
 
Shouldn't the Nvidia product score a little better in 3DMark 03 than the ATI ? I'm mean honestly one company had a some inside "help" with the benchmark and one did not. So the fact that under similar circumstances Nvidia is coming out ahead is no real suprise. Now how much ahead may be more a factor of Nvidia design and drivers. But the initial premise seems to be what one would expect.
