I just got 3dmark06 to see what my score would be and i got a 11829


How is this? If i still had my 8800gts 640mb what would my score be? On the CPU test i got 0fps, it was so laggy. I left every setting at default.
 
That seems right. The CPU test is supposed to be that way, don't worry. The best you'll get is 2 FPS or so. I was worried too when I first tried it.

I get slightly less than you do; the quad-cores bench better.

Oh ok good. Was kinda worried.
 
I will post my score in here as well...

8591

I have
two 7900gs at 600/800
e6600 3.0
4 gigs ram



Does that score seem about right?

Vista x64 must be WAY slower then XP x32 because we have the same CPU and Vid card overclocked (check sig) and I scored a 14476 yesterday

Are you serious? Would you processor speed be part of the reason too?
 
Yes, processor speed plays a pretty decent role in 3dmark. I'd also wager that faster memory would help a bit too. If you want, you can fiddle around with overclocking as it helps a great deal. With the set up in my sig, I get roughly 11k 3dmarks so I'm sure if you do a bit of overclocking, you'll get a higher score with ease.

I know nothing about overclocking, I think Id rather stay away from it since it voids the warranty.
 
Yeah overclocking would give you a higher score, though I doubt it would help much in most games. I got 12.3k with an e4500 clocked to 3ghz and an 8800gts.

I can second that. See sig. almost same components

wanna know a secret....

















The manufacture can't tell if you have overclocked or not as long as you have not done any volt modding or anything like that. As long as you are o/c'ing your cpu through the mobo bios and using a program like rivatuner to o/c your vid card they have no way of telling :) Check out the overclocking forum here and read the stickies and go from there!

Thank you! I just ran 3dmark again with my GTS 512 running at the same speeds as yours 750/1950/1110 and i scored 12108


My GPU never got over 60c underload at 60% fan speed.

Here's a crysis screenie with dx9 ultra high settings config. I think i gained 2 or 3 fps? with this screenie i had 800/2010/1080.

If you are curious, I have the 8800 GTS 640 and I pull about 12,500 on it. I have the same processor as you, so that would likely be about what you would get.

I have it Overclocked to 675/2016 though. Fry's has them on sale for $350 after rebate, so I may pick up another for Some SLI Goodness, kickin it with 1.28 GB of Vid Ram !!!

so you mean to tell me if i kept my 640mb i could of pushed it to stock new GTS's speed far and have the same FPS in games like i do now with my 512mb?

I doubt it. Overclocking a GPU doesn't raise fps that much. The g92 GTS is faster than the GT which is faster then the g80 GTS so I don't think overclocking could raise the performance that far.

You have 12.5K because of your CPU. I believe with a G92 GTS it will be close to 14K if you o'clock a q6600 cpu along side the gpu. I wouldn't buy a G80 GTS over the G92 one even if its cheaper.

And for someone looking to SLI well right now the Crossfire 3870 scales the best out of any card on the market at the given price.performance ratio.
Just my 2 cents.

yeah but i still need to read up on overclocking CPU's, i know i could hit 2.8 or 3.0 easily with my setup but i still need to study. If anyone's willing to help me 1 on 1 on aim or something, id appreciate it :)
 
Videocard: 8800GTS 512--800/2000/2200

I have a question about that 2200. What is it? My memory clock doesn't even go past 1460 in rivatuner...
 
its the effective memory, the 2000 is the shaders, you multiply the mem clock by two to get the effective.
 
just installed my GTS 512 and scored 11671 on stock clocks

sm 2.0 5563
sm 3.0 5335
cpu 2576

rest of my system is on my sig.

I havent' done tests in games, but in 3DMark, I hit about 9-10k on stock settings, and get 12k+ at the 675/2016 setting, so it's a substantial improvement.

My EVGA is the lowest stock setting 8800GTS as well, starts out at 513/1596.

Temps are just fine at the 675/2016, in fact they really don't change much.

It idles in the mid 50s, and doesn't go much above 75c during gaming in Crysis with Med/High settings. I usually get FPS in the 40s on Crysis. I am pretty happy with this card, even though I overpaid for it from frys. ($480 before $70 rebate.)
 
AMD 4800 X2 939
Sapphire HD3850/512
2x1GB G.Skill
Vista 32Bit

getting 8021 on 3dMark06 OC CPU from 2.4-2.498GHz
720/919 OC Graphic card Idles at 45C ish and tops out at 70C ish
My CPU is killing the score like majorly LMAO 0-3 frames LMAO

getting 7985 on stock settings

Is that about right ???
