Whats your spec and current score with 3dmark06?

Mine is as follows:

Pentium 4 Socket 775 3.2GHZ (540 Prescott)

Zalman CNPS9500 LED cooler

Gigabyte GA-8IPE775 pro mobo, 800mhz bus,8xAGP

2GB of DDR 400 twin X corsair ram (2-2-2-5)

Nvidea 6800 GT with 256mb ram (Clocked to 397mhz and 1.1ghz bus)

Soundblaster FATALITY FPS X-FI soundcard

Current best score is 2618, but im working on it

 

WTF are you talking about?

 

No time to do a test tonight. Tomorrow maybe.

But I'm running a P4 2.8 (Prescott core) overclocked to 3.2 with a big fook off heatsink and fan. Aircon needed in the summer
FSB is overclocked to 916MHz with dual channel memory.

ATI Radeon X800XT Platinum Edition.

 

You running at default settings?, just about to do mine mate.

 

Yeah, stick with defaulat and run teh test out of teh box

Currently messing with processor speed but so far, the test keeps locking up....

Just about to increase processor voltage

 

where do you get the test program from ??????

i had a version of it but only half of the options seemed to work

 

Watch the TEMPS!!!

Oh and I just got 2088 marks.

That was with all the available tests ticked but at the programs default options like resolution etc.

 

Been watching em for months... this baby sorted that

Still have no idea what we're talking about

 

its a test program that tests the pc to its limits heres a version of it

Thrush - Its a program that measures a PC's 'Gaming' performance.

It does this by running stress tests that push a PC's hardware to its limits. 3D Mark runs numourous graphical tests, that utilise all of a GFX cards features then gives you a score or 'mark' at the end.

The higher the number, the better your PC

 

Hey, you are running 3Dmark 06 arent you?

Got her stable at 3.45ghz now...

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I seeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

Won't bother then as a) I don't game, b) I'll probably und up with a slow scroe due to onboard gfx card, and c) I just fixed the fucker, don't wanna break it again

 

3.6ghz. Memory now running at 440mhz.

Benchmarking now.....

 

Stu @ M Developments

the program you are using is it free or the paid for version ??

the 06 version i had only did minor scans ..

the test with the air ship and the dragon

that test was the dogs AWESOME VID CLIP

 

Done a quick aquamark 03 and got a score of 65,600

 

Fully paid up pro version.

 

Stu @ M Developments

ive got the same gt 6800 as you

and 2gig ram ..builder of the pc said as its duel channel mb

really its well over 2 gig

i just play the games on it

running bf2 on highest settings on a 24 inch dell flat

never a glitch

 

Getting daft now... 3.9GHZ and 960Mhz Bus

 

HOw far you gonna clock it Stu

 

Aquamark 69,789 and still stable!!

Im going to tweak her to 4ghz and run a burn in test overnight to see how hot she gets... if it doesnt crash.. will report back in teh morning... likley from another PC that isnt fried... lol

 

3DMark05 i got 7215, not sure if 3DMark06 is gonna be any different?

PMSL at all the tweaking going on, how can i burn mine out erm i mean tweak it?

 

Just run aquamark and got a score of 61,011 not bad but i expected more


Ok, how do i tweak this bloody thing

 

Mr.Manchester

was waiting for you to join in

have you got a link for aquamark then

still think 3d marks the best test program

but as said mine had limited options ..

the free version was ok ... the vid clips

 

Current spec:

AMD Athlon XP2600+ (2083MHz)
2GB unbranded PC2700 (cas2.5-4-4-7 - 1*1024MB, 2*512MB)
256MB Gainward 6800GT (400/1100 standard factory-clocking)

Score: 1421



I really need to buy my next computer!

Planned spec:

AMD Athlon64 4400+ (dual-core)
2GB OCZ Platinum PC3200 (cas2-3-2-5 - 2*1024MB)
512MB XFX 7800GTX "XXX Edition" (583/1730 standard factory-clocking)

 

Is this the benchmark for the up and coming "TOTB computers of PF" ?
Line them up on the start line

 

Yeah.... bring it on peeps...

I must download Cpumark 05 and see what the scoring is as more peeps seem to use that one at the moment.

 

Oh, and yes, it crashed in a big way.. roflol

Need to play with ram timings i think, the processor seems ok at 4.0ghz and that cooler kept her below 45deg C but the ram clocked over to 440 wasnt playingh ball at 2-2-25, may have to try 4-4-4-8 tonight.. see what i can get away with. unchballs:

 

I shall have to aquire 3D mark 06 at some point I ran 04 I think and got 3500 or something silly like that.

Old drivers and standard clocks:
X2 3800+ @ 2GHz, GeForce 7800GT @ 438/1000MHz, 2GB ram @ 200MHz 2.5-3-2-6

I'm going to bench more this week because the X2 does 2.5GHz easily and the GT 480/1200MHz, and the ram 250MHz @ 2.5-3-2-6.
And the newest drivers should give me a couple of hundred points more.
I'm hoping to break 5k.

specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Scythe Ninja) - Asus A8N-SLI Premium - Gainward GeForce 7800GT (Arctic Cooling NvSilencer 5 rev3) - 2x 1GB Corsair 3200C2 - WD Raptor - WD Caviar RE2 - Antec TruePower 2.0 550W - Dell 2405FPW

 

Just ordered one or 2 items to help witn the cooling project











Great... another bloody addiction

 

Stu,

The thermal paste should make quite a bit of differance. I put some on my AMD chip before butting the heatsink and fan on Is that fan to go on the chipset ??

 

Yeah, already using paste on the processor, its a necessity with a P4.

The blue heatsink is for the chipset, the big fan and sink is for the 6800GT and the small heatsinks are for the 6800GT's ram.

 

Thermal paste isn't an option!!! Its a requirement

Arctic Silver 5 is my prefered choice

I have one of those Zalman GPU coolers already, you won't be dissapointed Stu. It dropped my GFX card temps by 40C on load

And I have one of those blue Zalman chipset coolers aswell, but it won't fit this motherboard because the giant GFX card cooler is in the way

3D Mark 2001 - 25532 Marks

3D Mark 2003 - 12563 Marks

3D Mark 2005 - 6308 Marks

3D Mark 2006 - 2088 Marks

Aquamark 3 - 72038

 

What card is that on pal?

The one on my 6800GT looks a fair old size allready to be honest, but for teh cash i thought id try it...

 

I bought an X800 Pro VIVO mate, second hand.

These early cards unlock to 16 pixel pipes when flashed with a different BIOS.

I flashed it with a X800 XT Platinum Edition BIOS and the standard cooler did NOT like the extra clock speeds

I was seeing 90C+ when benchmarking and playing intense games.

I fitted that cooler and I rarely see past 50C, and I can't hear it!

Next on the list will be a decent cooler for my CPU, its running the stock AMD rubbish at the moment, everytime I start doing anything other than browsing I wake the rest of the house up because it speeds up and sounds like a jet engine

 

Just ran 3D Mark 06 and got 1310.

I really do want a new PC

 

I recomend that one i fitted, its almost totally silent!!
And since it no longer gets hot, it never speeds up

 

on the main test i got 2231

but thats without any tweeking ..so im gonna leave it at that

with my luck would fry it "and only just got it back "

STU thanks for the help by the way

i found a 45 min download mirror site called 3d guru

http://www.guru3d.com/

think i need to invest in some paste as well as i noticed there was

none on it last time i cleaned the fan
