[SimGuy]

Download complete! Time to give this baby a run and see it crush both my systems! Meh :)

//Edit: First Run on old P4 System (2400 @ 2700, 512 MB Corsair XMS3700, 9800 @ 9800 Pro). Will bench A64 when I get home later tonight.

[primesuspect]

Benchmark thread created and stuck :)

As soon as I get the download, I'll bench my customer's a64 3500+ w/geforce 6800

No more benchmarking for me tonight... well until Mackanz comes in and wipes the floor with me ;D

But I do have access to a FX-53.. Im so tempted to take my card into work and fire it up in that baby!

Dude that's sick. I can't hit that in 03! ;D

Benches coming shortly, I didn't know it was out until now.

EDIT
Maybe not shortly... The download's almost 300 megs. :-/

[Shorty]

That's stock... I need to find the max overclock of my system to compete with the watercooling 5500+ scores Im seeing on the ORB ;)

[entropy]

Ok, guys, no AF/AA and what resolution? 1024x768, or does it automatically choose a default one??

[Shorty]

The current version is locked to the correct settings :)

[entropy]

Awesome ... I suppose ... see, it's good for standards. Bad for folks like me who could go, "Oh, I had the resolution way too high is all..." ;)

[entropy]

*sigh*

[Shorty]

*sigh*
Never mind mate :D

[entropy]

Lol, but it's depressing! :p I'm like "Woohoo, my first computer I ever built!" (no, that effect still hasn't worn off! :)) and to see it get pummelled in light of all the new technology is, well, disconcerting lol. I'm so tempted to build a new one from scratch ... just have to keep telling myself it does what it needs to for the next 3 years (gonna build top-o-the-line system before college)...but it's tough, lol.

edit: Shorty, WTF is up with all the different Quote formats? :confused:

I think my scores pretty good but I know it's gonna get creamed by someone by the time I wake up tomorrow morning ;D

Get used to it, there is always someone with a better system ;)

Be happy with what ya got, if it does what ya need and works well.. that's more important than a synthetic benchmark :)

[Komete]

Well This is the first benchmark where overclocking my cpu had 0 effect. my 1st attemp was 1933 after I overclocked my video card it only went up 100 points. No matter what I put my cpu at it wouldn't budge past 2034.

It's times like this that prove even the deepest wallets don't always get the highest benchmarks (as is the case with the A64 machine Brian had built for a customer).

Any idea why I'm scoring so low? Only high 3000s with A64 3500+ / 6800 GT all stock, i've tried cool 'n quiet on and off, and it made no difference.. 61.77 nvidia drivers

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=24372
Take ya time to tweak ya system before a run :)

Make sure you have high performance settings in your display adapter settings & turn off antivirus & unnecessary programs/services :)

[primesuspect]

It could be lots of things - have you checked your system for spyware or other background processes? Shut off your Antivirus software while running the benchmark. There are a ton of factors that dictate system performance.....

Give us as much info as you can, but not in this thread :) Start a thread in the graphics/video forum and the pros here will help you tweak your system for sure.

Of course being an overclocking guru helps :respect: mate :D

As for now, Intel cpu's and Nvidia videocards gets murdered in 3D05 thanks to the beta driver.
Bud, click the link to "driver hotfix" in this link to the Ati infobase. Now, i didn't do any cleaning of the old drivers and the control panel and we all know how much that helps.

http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4649.html

Shorty, that's a little over the top mate. I'm quite useless in this stuff but i try to learn every day.

looks like this "wxp-w2k-8-07-018380E.exe"

Well that's what I installed anyway and this is what I got ...with a little more tweaking and oc'ing I'm confident I would break 3k

[Geeky1]

OC'd the A64 to HTT 250Mhz & 2.5ghz - Same score :banghead:

Well at least we know it's not as CPU-dependent as other benchmarks... although my Xeons are still about 1000pts. behind than A64 systems with the same GPU... I may end up ordering that Iwill board anyhow. :-/

[TheLostSwede]

Aquamark and 3D2001 still reigns as the better cpu+video benchmark. 3D2003 and 3D2005 are primarily a videocard benchmark. Athlon XP or dual Xeon's etc have no chance against A64 in Aquamark/3D2001.

[Geeky1]

Mackanz... I think you're right, although my Xeons are much closer to A64 systems with the same GPU (the 6800GT) in 3dmark 03 than they are in 05... I need to run 01 on the Xeons when I get back to school.

what are your specs, are you overclocking? cause i think we have similar specs but i can only hit 2.7k

[TheLostSwede]

Managed to squeeze out 6K with this setup finally. I finally found 2X512 of ram that does 230 fsb+ on an Nforce2 board. I refuse to go back to 2X256, even if it gives me another thousand points in 3dmark.

[Leonardo]

Does your notebook have CPU throttling turned on in the BIOS? If yes, that would account for the disappointing score. When you run benchmarks, does the CPU cooler fan kick on? If it doesn't, it probably means that your CPU is throttled.

[c_kells]

is this benchmark good.

I'll have to check on that. I know that it throttles down to 800MHz on battery, no matter what I do. I don't know if it throttles the CPU when it's plugged in... Maybe I accidentally didn't have it plugged in? :scratch:

I think my PSU is dying as it doesn't want any part of the system to run any faster, not to mention the rails look awful in general.

I'll have it past 3000 points sometime today, but I currently have it all set to stock. Drivers are on Balanced(stock), about the only thing changed are my drivers, I am using ATI Tool fo overclocking, and Windows is tweaked and fully defraged now with diskeeper :D

I just noticed you're post.... am I wrong to assume that an X700 is better than a Radeon 9800XT? If so, how am I getting a higher score than you? Your processor is even a 3200+, mine is a A64 3000+(2GHz) OC'd to 2.1GHz.

[mmonnin]

At stock my card is slower than a 6600GT. If I OC it to about the speeds of an X700 XT I can beat the scores of the 6600GT it some benchmarks. I dont know there the 9800XT stands with the 6600GT but there is some info.

Thats not tweaked one bit at all. Completely 100% stock.

beat this 6600gt...lol
i have been waiting to see if anyone out there has a 6600gt that is running good..most people i see are only pulling 2000 or so...

[TheSmJ]

Test_Tube_Tony gets something like 37xx with his 6600GT. I'll tell him to post the actual results later.

[mmonnin]

That was on some benchmarks, I dont remember if they were games or actual benchmarks. On some the X700 Pro was no match, even when overclocked. Plus they were using the 256mb version and I only have the 128mb version.

And I still have to tweak it too. No OC anywhere.

[test_tube_tony]

speeds are 550/1240 with the stock cooler and an extra fan blowing on it. ive got a better HS on the way. the memory is still very stable and could probably go up much more. im doing all the OCing at this point with bios adjustments. rivatuner wont let me software oc at these speeds. actually it wont even ok the speed set in the bios. its a rosewill by the way.

look out SoLo, here i come :p

edit: this is from last night. i ran one today and it hit 3844 :)

[mmonnin]

And thats with an AXP not an Athlon 64.

[test_tube_tony]

read my sig lol. athlon xp 1700+. it even says in the pic on the right side

[mmonnin]

Yeah I know. You are that close WITH an AXP, meaning you would easily top SoLo with an A64.

I need you guys to look at these numbers and tell me what they mean. I'm sure its COMPLETELY my CPU's fault as to why these numbers are so incredibly low, but I need some expert opinions. Why is my fps sooo low?? In CSS, I usually get a constant 20-30fps, but it always jumps up and down. Durning the 3dmark05 tests, they were horrrible! What's causing this?

Actually, that score is probably about right for your setup. You may be able to squeeze a bit more by overclocking the graphics card. Unfortunatly, those celeron procs are not the greatest for high-fps gaming. You may be able to hit closer to 3000 in '05 with a better processor.

[sfleuriet]

ok so it is my processor. thats what I wanted to hear, because I know my cellery sux :)

Oh I see, well I'm new to the SATA world.

Anyways:

I overclocked the videocard using forceware coolbits from:

460 / 1300 to 478 / 1330.

The results were actually pretty impressive:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/djstubbs/3dmark2005-08-05-05-vgaoc.jpg

I gained 250 points from a small, and stable overclock. (8193 -> 8443)

Can't wait to get my processor oc`ed to fx-55 speeds. :]

Hey DJ
Awesome card ! Have you tried using the 3D mark 05 profile ? And set the performance tab to High Performance. I picked up a couple hundred points with those 2 tweaks.

What is your CPU clocked at ?


Scott

[djstubbs]

CPU is stock, I will try that in a few minutes.

As far as games and other things are concerned will that benefit me or change anything?

old mobo was a chaintech 9VJL3 and cpu was a Celeron 2.50ghz

the new specs are in my sig

[shwaip]

it's your video card.

[sfleuriet]

:p why did aquamark3 more than double then? :scratch:

[shwaip]

i can't look it up right now - supposed to be "working" - but i'd guess that 3dM05 has some newer features that aren't affected by cpu clockspeed as much as video card abilities

[djstubbs]

:p why did aquamark3 more than double then? :scratch:

Better CPU :eek:

I would suggest an upgrade to PCI-express.

And yes, 3dmark 2005 is based almost entirely on your video card.

CPU makes a difference, but not as much as a video card.

[sfleuriet]

oh ok. I purpously got an AGP board. I might upgrade to a better AGP card sometime. Whats the best AGP card out right now?

[djstubbs]

oh ok. I purpously got an AGP board. I might upgrade to a better AGP card sometime. Whats the best AGP card out right now?

When did you get the AGP board...

Hopefully not recently...

If I were you I'd upgrade to PCI-express, today's best cards aren't even being made for AGP.

[Omega65]

The 7800 GTX wont be released for AGP for although the upcoming (in Sept) ATI R520 will

1a) ATI X850 XT or XTPE
1b) Nvidia 6800 Ultra
2) X800 XT
3a) 6800 GT
3b) X800 XL
4) X800 GT (Coming soon)
5) 6600 GT

[Preacher]

Aquamark stresses the CPU more than the video card. You can still get some very good graphics cards for AGP. You just can't do SLI or get a 7800. The 6800GT or a high-end ATI will make a significant jump over the 9800pro.

ok cool thanks

dj- yeah i bought it recently. i chose AGP over pcie for practicallity and the fact that I didn't wanna buy a new pcie card. As preacher said, they DO still make awesome AGP cards, and I don't need anything as expensive and highend as the 7800gtx anyways. That card just seems like a benchmark bragger to me :rolleyes:

Attach the file.

Great choice Dj..!! And after seeing you post youre score i really have to believe that that card can do so much more damage.! :D
i have made up my mind.Thanks to you and several other people that i have been talking to.I have decided on the 7800 for my main rig.But as for my LAN cube im going to hang on to my 6600gt until i cant run a game with MAX grafix..Well keep Krushin 3dmark!! peace out..

I'm happy to hear that, it's a great card.

If I can make a suggestion:

Don't overclock it too much or you may start to see some graphical damage.

I took the advice of a guy in here..fogott who..lol but any way i got a box fan and set it on high very close to my 6600gt with the case side off....ovrclked it to 605|1.22..wel this is my score..

But today i recived a albatron 6800gt ond im almost ready to prep the card for installation...but heres my highest and LAST benchmark for my good ole apollo 6600gt....Almost ready to run with the big boys..lol

Oh..and for some odd reason i was getting better benchmarks with drivers:77.72 rather than 77.77 WHQL..

[muddocktor]

This is my first run with my Pentium M system, running a X800XT-PE. Cat 5.7's and stock gpu and memory speeds. Processor was running at 160 X 15 and memory speed was 200 MHz with 2-2-2-5 timings on a P4C800-E Dlx mobo.

[test_tube_tony]

movin on up...
605/1300 up from 500/900

[djstubbs]

Overclocked my 7800 GTX to 490 / 1350.

The rest of my PC remains stock.

http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/315/3dmark2005082405vgaoc490hp8xh.png

It's not my highest score, but I was using 'High Performance' in my nVidia control panel.

I imagine the reason I got a lower score since my past peak score of 8683, is due to the drivers, I am using the 78.11's, which work like a dream by the way.

Unfortunately I lose about 113 points in 3dmark05.

[SoLo]

movin on up...
605/1300 up from 500/900

yea, tube i had to do a fresh install and run 3dmark05..to get my score..i have to do the same in SiSoft Sandra..no matter what i do if i dont have a fresh nstall of win x64..i wont hit high...

BTW..are you using stock GPU heatsink..for youre card..

And Dj..i decided on a cheap 6800gt made bye Albatron..im going to strip the GPU heatsink and modify the bios if i can..It only put me back a lil over $200 bucks..if it performs well i might hold off untill comes out with a cheaper ver. of the 7800 series..So i hear..
And also Dj..is the heatsink for youre card decent? i was wondering if you said not to overclk it b/c it heats up to fast..is that a problem for youre card?

P.S Does anyone know if updating the bios on my Mother board would give me better scores for Sandra And for 3dmark...

[djstubbs]

The heatsinks that come with all the nvidia cards are quite crappy, which is why I'm ordering the zalman vf700cu.

[SpywareShooter]

Check out this pimpin score!

[sfleuriet]

haha i saw that card at walmart today for a ripoff price of $110! ;D ;D

[SpywareShooter]

wtf! I paid $153 for it at BestBuy! Stupid *******s.

[sfleuriet]

whoa baby thats absurd! How long ago did you buy it?? For that price, you could get a lot better card :eek:

[SpywareShooter]

I got it in April this year.

[SoLo]

That is Very Very Sad..lol Sold my Apollo 6600gt for $100...and that is why you always do youre homework..! and i just got my Albatron 6800gt for just over $200..lol

[SpywareShooter]

I just went into best buy and asked for a good gfx card because the one that came with this computer wasn't comptible with many games. He said that the GeForce FX 5500 was a good card for a cheap price of $153... another ripoff by the BestBuy dumbasses.

[SoLo]

well..sometimes bestbuy has some really great deals..that was not one..lol ill post my new 3dmark05 score soon..

[Thrax]

No offence, but if you're shopping at Best Buy for video cards, you set yourself up for the fall. And I work there.

[SpywareShooter]

Well BestBuy is the only place that sells computer parts other than Circuit City in like a 50 mile radius. I've heard bad stuff about Circuit City so I always go to Best Buy :(

[sfleuriet]

lot more bad in WorstBuy than Circuit City. Just buy it on Newegg and get overnight shipping, and you'll still come out on top vs. WorstBuy. :)

[djstubbs]

E-tailers anyone?

[Enverex]

Or... like any other sane individual, you can stop buying from crap overpriced stores and start buying off the internet. :thumbsup:

[SpywareShooter]

I don't buy off the net because of all the scamming and info you have to fill out. Even tracking cookies can steal the info you submit if they decide to be that rogue.

yes..we all know of bad dealer sites but that just stupidity if you buy from an UNKNOWN site..Always read reviews on trusted sites....And Yes NEWEGG will never do that..

[SpywareShooter]

Well I don't think I'll need anything else for a while. I've got the video card (plays fine in actual games) and I just upgraded to 1GB RAM. There's nothing on my "to-get" list as of now... until this computer cooks itself.

[test_tube_tony]

well, here it is. its as fast as this card can go untill i get water cooling or something. probably wont happen tho. keep in mind that my system has crappy memory and wont even run up to speed lol.

[sfleuriet]

with my new x800pro (overclocked to 551/565), my 3dmark05 score increased quite a bit. My Aquamark3 score, however, is about HALF the score I got with my 9800pro!! I don't know what the problem is there, but here's my 3dmark05 score.

Nice score pilotwings, did you get the vivo model of x800 pro? I'm not sure why aquamark is giving you a lower score, could be driver related perhaps. You could check the performance settings in the ATI panel.

[sfleuriet]

no its not VIVO.

The 5.8 drivers absolutely would not work right on my computer. Nothing would render properly, so I had to use the 5.7 drivers.

Probably is driver related, but its not a big deal.

one question HAMMER...R U LOVING IT? lol 7800 has got to rock....i was going for it but then decide to save a lil cash and strip the heatsink off this albatron 6800gt and water cool it....OMG..lol just read that youre next card is comin up... :Pwned: SLI...let us know how that works out for ya..!! peace out.

magic..one question for you...shouldnt you be able to clock that card "core" higher seeing that you are water cooloing..or is the 3dcard not H2o cooled?

[Sledgehammer70]

Oh heck Ya Im loving it, this 7800 screams with the 4000+ giving it juice....I am building a FX-55 system now and play to either Go dual 7800GTX or Crossfire to X1800 when they hit the market. I have all the parts but the Mobo and the Graphics cards..... so I will see what i decide wonce ATI gets on the ball and release their new stuff.

That's a crazy overclock, you even managed to beat my best score.

I should try overclocking.

[scott]

But not mine :D


:wow: Holy moly

I bumped my cpu OC up to 2708 and tweaked the card somemore.
DFI Ultra D
Clawhammer 3500+ @2708
1gig OCZ PC4000 EL Gold
BFG 7800OC @ 497clock 1.4ghz mem ( used 3D05 profile and High Performance settings)

WOW
While this may be a killer score it was running pretty hot. CPU got up to 55c during tests and the 7800 got up to 71c. At default speeds max temps were 45c 57c respectivley.

thanks, i know i can go higher with the core its at 36* 39-40* load, but the memory is what im worried about it isnt water cooler and it gets hot as hell when im running 3dmark.

you can see that my coolers dont come all the way out to were the memory modules are so the one right under the fan stays cool but the farther out ones get insanely hot so im making some brackets to hold fans directly over them. well see how much that makes a difference in the temps before i try to go any higher with the memory, btw i got 8789 at 520 core same memory

[scott]

OK guys lets revel in our glory now......when sledgehammer70 gets his other 7800 and does the sli mod .........we are toast :bawling:


Scott

[MAGIC]

well i would hope so, 2 video cards are better than 1

[SoLo]

well guys im am proud of you... :thumbsup: we are all def kckin some ass in the OC world.!! great job all.!!
\
imjust tring to get the highest possible swcore in 3dmark and sandra with my cube...you guys are just Krushing 3dmark....!
i love this ****..

[Sledgehammer70]

Ya I hope to see my 7800GT here in the next 3 to 4 days, My supplier was out fo stock so I am waiting.......and waiting....... But those are nice scores. I can only hope to hit 14,000 up to 16,000 in 3DMark 05....so it will be intresting.

I'm wondering now if my Corsair XMS ram is holding me back! maybe I need to drop back to 2 sticks so it runs at 400Mhz instead of dropping to 333Mhz?

[MAGIC]

fans directly over my ram now i should be able to crank it a touch higher... 9k? lol

[djstubbs]

****ing up your graphics card isn't worth a few points in 3dmark.

[MAGIC]

ya i know but i like to see how high i can get it, im to the point were im moving it up 1mhz at a time when i see problems in 3dmark ill know thats as far as it can go safely. im not gunna be runnin at these speeds regularly either this is just for the numbers. btw those fans i made make such a difference. just touching the ramsinks i can feel a very big difference in temp

[MAGIC]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/captainwarez/clocked2.jpg
thats all i can get, i might get close to 9k when i get my new mobo and max out the cpu too, we'll see

[GrayFox]

Nice you goina vmod that bad boy.

[Sledgehammer70]

I found out yeaterday my 2nd 7800 is going to be here in 4 days, I will be posting my new scores than :) Friday Hopefully Friday I will have my 2 EVGA 7800GT Graphic's Card!

[Nightwolf]

Friday Hopefully Friday I will have my 2 EVGA 7800GT Graphic's Card!

OMG ITS A MONSTER!!!!

/me Runs away and hides behind the couch

[Sledgehammer70]

I just installed my 2nd 7800GT last night.....! Wahhhhaaaahaaaahaaahaaahahaaaa.

I will be runnign soem test over the next week to get it where I want it, i will post some 3Dmark 05 Scores On Friday...So Until than!

[Sledgehammer70]

Numbers coming tonight!!! :) ehh Im so excited to see what I can punch out of this bad boy. I have it all configured and tested and running very much 100% stable at a 8% overcloked...so now I am ready to do my 3D mark tests... I had to make sure I could run games and do all my applications without the Overclocking taking me to the Blue sreen of death.

The new revised specs are in my sig :)

both the cards maxed out at teh same speed?

[Sledgehammer70]

As far as I can tell, it say both are running the same numbers, I will probably throttle it back to 470's on the core and 1.28 on the ram...just so it runs better. it seems a bit unstable at the setting I have now, but Ntune gives me no errors yet :) same with cool bits :)

[MAGIC]

good things :thumbsup:

[Sledgehammer70]

That is why I let it run for the last 4 days :) just to make sure there is no errors, I am taking DanG's advice and running Folding on it 24/7 along with my niffty Batch file I cretaed to run my computer over a 24 hour time pierod :) and check for flaws and defects in harware , It should be finishing in about 4 hours so I can run my 3Dmark benchies than :)

[Sledgehammer70]

Numbers are in!!!!!!!

3DMark05 - 13,243
3DMark03 - 27,895

Now those are some impressive Numbers in my book! Iwould recommend Dual 7800GT's any day of the week!
