Got 1817 just now with new drivers and OC'd my card with Coolbits autodetect for OC.

It's funny that others with similar systems and drivers are getting such strange scores, some people with faster processors and GFX cards in both slow and faster speed are above and below me in ways that just don't make much sence.

These scores are really baffling me. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to why some are higher than others.

EDIT: Well I just looked on the project scores, and I have the 3rd highest score for people with an AMD 64bit 2000-2100mhz processor and an x800pro video card. I guess my video card is just not that good?

The ATI cards seem to be doing rather poorly in 06' compared to nvidia cards.. hypermood smoked my score, even though my CPU is 800MHz higher clocked. I'm not sure if it is just a driver thing, or what, because it's pretty much across the board with all ATI cards, including the x1800s.

What the hell does it have to do with defence? Your video card suffers from two things:
1) It was the loser of its generation
2) It's a generation older than Kwitko's.

How does simple mathematics mean he's "[Defending] [his] video card?" Really.

It's not about pipelines.....When 3DMark06 was being formulated, ATI didn't have it's nexgen hardware available. You need SM3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting) hardware to excel in 3dMark06.

Some info from TechReport (http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/9293)
he day before 3DMark06's release proved to be an interesting one in Damage Labs. As I huddled here in seclusion testing all of the latest graphics cards on this new benchmark, a little green bird fluttered in and landed on my shoulder. It sang the praises of 3DMark06, saying that this new version should do a better job of tracking with real-world game performance than past editions, noting that 3DMark05 wasn't horrible, but was simply too vertex bound, as the example of the Radeon X1600 demonstrated. (The X1600 overachieved in 3DMark05, running relatively faster than in nearly any game.) 3DMark06, it cooed, should right that wrong and better achieve its stated goals.

....than a redbird perched on the top of my monitor, singing a very different song. This creature, too, noted that 3DMark05 was excessively vertex-bound, but its take on the future was considerably grimmer.

The Redbird then sang several verses of lament over specific issues with 3DMark06. The depth stencil format, explained the first sad stanza, requires a painful pixel-shader-based workaround on some hardware but not on others.

The third stanza told the tragic tale of Shader Model 3.0 flow control, an incredibly important feature used only sparingly in 3DMark06, by the sound of it. Alas. Stanza four turned back to Shader Model 2.0, mournfully noting that the additional pixel shader load in these tests had a curiously green tint about it

The fifth verse was most melancholy of them all, acknowledging that things might have been different had the R520 not been late to market and unavailable during 3DMark06's incubation.

Interesting info Omega65.. Looks like ATI is paying for it's tardiness now. Many people seem to base their buying decisions on futuremark benchmarks, so they may feel the pain for quite some time..

My X850 does terribly compared to 6800 series cards. Near stock 6800GS models with stock a64s are scoring several hundred points higher, even when my x850 is clocked to it's max and a CPU clock of 3.3GHz.

(Doesn't make any noticeable diffrence in the real world yet... but it will in about another year or two)....in another year or two, when 3DMark07 or 08 is out, with tricks and software torture two years ahead of the games available in 07 or 08, and then...

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy benchmarking as much as the next guy. I just hope members here don't feel they need new $$$ video cards because of a less than stellar showing in 3DMark.

I found that posted online and this is all I could find:
right click anywhere in the 3D Mark 2003 window and select "open saved result in excel". That way you can see and (if you want) edit them or add notes or stuff like that. U just need excel in order to open them...
I opened up my 2006 and found that option, but it was grayed out - I guess it's only for the Pro edition?

I think it works after you bench and get sesults to save ...not sure just a guess.
I'm not too worried about it though I was getting slight artifacts anyway.
I clocked down the card to 488/1300 and ended up with 4501 and I'm happy with that. Next I'll be working oc'ing the processor with the x10 multi.

madmat
5 Feb 2006, 6:50pm
The to Excel option is available for pro version only. The only way to veiw saved results is to submit them if you don't have the pro version. I know it's available in my screenshots but that's because I do have the pro version.

Does the x850 have SM3.0? If not that could be why it's scoring low.

Card is really a vanilla 6800 with the pipelines open and tricked to think its an Ultra, still runs at 6800 speeds though.

First one is with my card at stock, 2nd one is OC'ed to 350/800.

:bawling: your opty should kick my +3500 venice's **se at the best of times and your 7800GTX is pretty close to the 7900GT so I can understand how you managed that so easily. :)
But wait...I shall be running two of those babies in SLI and am working on overclocking my Venice...then there shall be war :rarr:

So only about 1fps on that kick ass CPU? I think my laptop's 2GHz P-M does just as good, I know my 2GHz Athlon X2 was almost getting 2 or 3fps IIRC. Gonna have to see if I can find those scores since I don't have that computer anymore.

Well maybe not...and this was 2.5GHz. I must have been thinking at it's high point instead of average. 6 hours sleep over 72 hours maybe making me delirious.

was wondering if this is a good mark for my built on a budget, overclocking system.

P D805 @ 3500mhz (water cooled)
Gigabyte 945 S3 mobo
1 GB geil ultra ddr800
600watt icute modular psu
palit 7600gs sonic ddr3 @ 515 core 800 mem.

3196 on 3dmark06.

looking around on here that looks alright for a relatively low end system?

are there any other real bang for your buck overclocking cards around? i love a challenge :)

What are benchmark scores for? I have never run a benchmark. I will install a new game and max it out. If it runs fine, then good. If not, I upgrade. :confused:

Just like a chronometer on the race track, helps measuring how much better the system performs after overclocking and tweaking ;)

14,724 is my highest, but I haven't run benchmarks since I got the CPU up to 3825MHz. I'll post the results of that when I get to it. I'm also looking into possible volt-mods for the 8800GT to push it a little higher.

This run was:

Q6600 @ 400x9
8800GT 771/1782/999
4GB PC6400 4-4-4-12
Asus Maximus Formula
Vista x64

EDIT:

Same System Specs, but on XP x64 instead of Vista:

Interesting that the majority of the point gap comes from CPU score...

Specs for this run were 783/1890/1161 with CPU @ 425x9. Had to give the memory a voltage bump to get it to run @ 1161, from 1.91v to 2.06v. Also upped volts to GPU core from 1.05v to 1.1v. Considering hard mod to get it to ~1.25v

The system:
MSI P6N Diamond (nForce 680i SLI)
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz
2GB (2x1GB) Platinum Rev 2 DDR2-800
eVGA 8800GT KO Edition (Factory OC'ed to 675/1950 MHz Core/RAM)
XFX 8800GT XXX Alpha Dog (Factory OC'ed to 670/1950 MHz Core/RAM)
Monitor: 61" Samsung DLP. Not important to the benchmark, but still cool - especially when playing Bioshock.

I have not overclocked anything in this system yet, but I am working on replacing the stock cooling for just about everything. CPU has a Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme on it, and the GPUs will probably get some HRT-03s after the LAN.

One question - The benchmark doesn't list the second video card. How would I tell whether they're both working in the benchmark?

Some people are still using it because Vista was required to run Vantage until Win7 was pushed out. I assume its going to go the way of the previous years 3dMarks now.
