Post your 3dMark 2005 scores here. (Link to list in 1st post)

I hope you didn't feel my post was a personal dig - it wasn't. :D It's just that when I see a score that is well outside expected results on comparible hardware (even allowing for modifications/tweaks) then doubts obvioisly creep in.

You are right, 3D Mark is (despite the efforts of Futuremark) a poor indicator of true performance.

LOL... actually, I was afraid my post sounded too harsh, well, anyhow, I knew it wasn't "personal" I'm just spouting off what everyone has said to me when I question their "tweaks".

:D

I have a quick funny story about 3D Mark 2001... which proves just how poor a benchmark it can be.

I had a 5900 in my current machine and when everythings fully tweaked I score around 18500 in 3dmark2001.

Now, the BEST I could get with that setup in 3d mark 2003 was 6500.

Ok... now I've got this new 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200 and my 3d mark 2003 score peaked at 13500, BUT my 3d mark 2001 score peaked at 21800.

So... quick recap:

FX5900: 3DMark2001: 18500 3DMark 2003: 6500

6800 Ultra: 3DMark 2001: 21800 3DMark 2003: 13500

So... my 3d Mark 2003 score more then doubled, BUT, I only gained a few thousand on 3d Mark 2001.

Now that shows just how odd these program are, or just how odd these new video cards are, either way, clear proof that it's not representing the true performance increase of my latest upgrade.
 
Thanks for that. :)

Personally I prefer Aquamark, since it gives expected DX9 results, and also the dudes in charge are happy to delete obviously duff results as bogus.
 
3DMark2001 isn't based on GPU that much. It's much more of a CPU benchmark than a GPU benchmark. 03 and 05 are almost entirely GPU.

Yeah I only got a 10% increase going from a 5900nu to 6800GT on 3dMark2001:
6800GT --- 22,017 - 3dmarks 2001
5900nu --- 20,139 - 3dMarks 2001

But I got almost a 100% increase in 3dMark2003:
6800GT --- 12,776 - 3dmarks 2003
5900nu ---- 6,458 - 3dMarks 2003 - no link didnt pay for pro version

And I didn't have 2005 installed for the 5900nu,

but I probably would have gotten a 500% increase from the 5900nu:
Similar systems look like they're in the 1000 point range.

6800GT --- 5,294 - 3dmarks2005
5900nu --- 1,100 - * - estimated 2005

Listen up dudes!

There will be a "special" and "festive" Christmas day posting of the list.

Make sure to have your scores in by noonish Eastern Time. That is when I will be taking the screenshots of the updated Excel document and then posting links here!

I know some of you have been upset that you have new scores that just miss being on the list.
 
my last score for this setup

xp-m @ 2.6
nf7s-2
ocz plat rev 2

5749

oh yes the a64 and neo2 arrives tomorrow!
 
Cast your vote!

There is a poll I posted on how I should post the type of graphics card.

Don't understand what the heck I am talking about? Then check out the poll! The full story is carefully detailed there.

3dMark.jpg


This doesn't seem right, but then again I wouldn't know.


Is it right?

Specs in Sig, but to save time...

AMD 64 3200+
MSI K8N Neo 2 NForce 3 Ultra
1GB PC3200 Corsair RAM
MSI GeForce6800
80GB Seagate SATA x 2

Edit:

New 3d Mark w/Forceware 71.20
a 300 point increase. Seems good to me. Everything is running on stock btw. Maybe I'll tweak them at some point and see what I can squeeze out of it.

It is on par with some of the lower scores from a 6800.

Try the new 71.20 ForceWare drivers. Just search Google for 71.20 and you will find them.

Try overclocking your card with a tool called Coolbits. Just search for Coolbits and you will find it!

You install Coolbits, then right click your desktop, choose properties, choose settings, hit the advanced button, hit the GeForce tab, then on the panel that pops up choose to overclock manually.

Try 380/770 to start out. That should be pretty safe. Have not seen a 6800 that could not perfrom well at those speeds.
 
got my 6800nu last night, and threw it together, scored 3,800 unlocked 16x6 but no overclocking. not bad for only have 512mb of pc2700 valueram.

Not bad at all for the price of the cards. It's still a shame that 3DMark05 is more or less a slideshow whatever you use though!
 
yes very true, and so far i have never seen a "game" that truly required that much graphics power to run, i mean i run farcry and doom3 without a problem, cept for my crappy 512mb Pc2700 kingston valueram.....which....i just ordered some PQI Turbo PC3200 1Gb ....so i'll post with those scores...

I still haven't run 05 after i oc'd it. I got 8,777 stock everything (cpu included) in 3d03. Then i oc'd back up to my 2.4Ghz 16x6 and got 10,088 in 03, then oc'd to 385/785 and hit 11,300 in 03..heh..can't wait for that new memory.


Ok i'm rambling..bye

Well you OC'ed and such. All my stuff is stock.

I am using the Free Edition which runs at:

1024x768
No AA
Filtering: Optimal
HLSL VS Target: 3_0
HLSL PS Target: 3_0
Fixed Framerate: Off

I can't change any of the settings unless I go Pro and pay for the software I only use about once each time I get a new comp...which is about every four years. :-P
