Post your 3dmark06 SCORES !!!! =p

[Athlon2K15]

im not trying to be an asshole but i think your bottleneck is your psu u only have 17amps on the first 12v rail and your second rail on has 15amps,evga's website say u need a minimum of a 22amps on 12v rail,so if your overclocking your card u might have problems

 

[HeavyH20]

Not true. EVGA dictates that you need 22amps for the whole system. 17 amps is more than enough on a single rail. Dual rail PSUs are problematic, however, since they do not split the work very well. You may have your CPU, motherboard and video card on a single 12V rail.

yea oh well......... IMA TORCH THIS MUFUCKA!!!

after i buy new ram and find out it is still a peice of shit of course...

but actually after i bought the Sound Blaster Audigy for ur friendly Wal-Mart... i dont seem to notice it crashing as much... although sadly my Oblivion must be bugged with the "random crash" thing where its pretty much random crashing to desktop whenever it goes to load sumthing.... tried all kinds of settings nothing works...

Dont u fucking hate it when hardware/software makers release hardware that hasnt been thoroughly tested? I payed 50 bucks for a game that is now giving me nothing but a damn headache....

 

[Terenth]

HeavyH20... ur case gallery comp makes me feel sad

 

[Daveburt]

Terenth, I've found ATI's Video drivers to be pretty solid lately....

As for your Mobo... Just from my experience (with Nforce chips), Get your chipset drivers from the Mobo manufacturer... Even if ATI seems to have a newer driver for your chipset.... stick with the ones Abit says to use, or at least, make sure you make a restore point before you install dirvers from someone other than Abit...

If it's not too big a deal, you may want to backup all your Music/Video/Personal files and do a fresh install... I know it can be a pain, but I think it would fix your problems, and it's free!!

*sigh* makes me wonder sometimes.... i need to test it more but.. oblivion "seems" to run what would be software stable... as in the in game bugs don't cause it to crash to desktop as much... simply closing yahoo, aim and whatnot on the taskbar. I actually think its the ATI one that resides on the taskbar. I still get random lockups in all games tho. Its really weird i have been wondering if it might just be entirely caused by my windows xp... ive done a reinstall but im willing to bet its my xp cd that has crappy files on it.... i know its possible but what do u guys think the likely hood of it being the cause?
By lockups i mean i have to hit the reset... gonna try new ram in the next few weeks it think. i'll start a new thread prolly in the general hardware seeing as how this is the wrong place to be discussing this. i'll do that on my next update tanks for tryin to help

X1950xtx

Just wondering, I set up this new system for myself and I am not so sure that my 3DMark06 scores are what they should be... but I could be wrong...

My highest score at stock was: 6016
My highest score at 689/1089 is: 6334

My system specs:
Silverstone 600 watt Strider PSU (4 12v rails, which means nothing)
MSI Neo4 ultra platinum2 (PCB 1.0) mobo
AMD X2 4800+ (939pin) @ stock
2gb DDR400 (Corsair) timings:2.5, 3, 3, 6, 2T)
HIS X1950XTX (no crossfire)
SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer

I dunno why but it feels like my scores should be higher (like in the 7000s)... I mean the 7950 GX2s are scoring higher (and costs less). So can anyone inform me if my scores are low for my setup or are they just right? If they are off, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I mean I installed a fresh copy of windows and only the video drivers that came with the X1950XTX (the latest 6.9 catalyst don't work yet I understand)... I only have my sound drivers, mobo drivers, and video drivers installed (nothing else) on a fully update WinXP SP2 os.

I noticed that the 7950 GX2 is much faster, so if my score is about right, should I send this X1950XTX back and get a 7950 GX2 or should I stick with the ATI and hope future drivers make it faster?

Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

that does seem low for a 1950 but my friend has a 1900xtx and has yet to break 6000,the 7950gx2 has double the ROPs and Vertex Shaders,but then again the 1950 has GDDR4 and higher clocik rates so i would think that would make up the difference,have you tried overclocking your cpu? good luck

 

[Deleted member 24505]

heres mine with cpu at 4.2ghz.cpu score is kinda ok.

 

[HeavyH20]

Trying out the new rig.

8800 GTX SLI @ 630/950 x6800 @ 3.7 GHz

16081

Best I could do with these cards was 10000 on the Opteron system.

 

[Athlon2K15]

thats freakin awesome,im still waiting to see ATI/AMD's new offerings before i make my decision

 

[SK-1]

What a sweet rig,...I can't wait till spring and the R600 to compare.
I just wish there were more manufactures other than just ATI and NVIDIA.
Imagine if there were as many card makers as there is auto makers!I wonder what that world would be like!

dont work if i log out of the futuremark site,how do i make it work when i'm logged out?

 

[Urlyin]

You have to Publish it and copy the compare URL ...

Dual core really helps.

With my new Opti Dual Core165 CCBBE @2750Mhz.so far {as in new today!} and the addition of the Thermaltake Express 250,.. I am up to 6590.
Now,...if I can find a major deal on a x1900 master card, I will be in business until DX10.

 

[HeavyH20]

Well, played a little more. This is the best I can do before the watercooling is in place. The cards are at 660/1000 and the CPU is at 3.9 Ghz. I had some success at 4.0 GHz, but there is some tweaking I need to do to stabilize at that clock.

very nice scores Heavy,cant wait till i can afford a setup like that

3dmark 06 Score

Sup folks, new to the board, figured I would add my rig out there.

ENERMAX Galaxy EGA1000EWL 1000W EPS12V AC Power Supply
(2) eVGA Geforce 8800 GTX Video Cards
2gb Corsair Dominator PC8888 Memory clocked at 1066mhz
eVGA NForce 680i Socket 775 Motherboard
Intel Extreme x6800 CPU clocked at 5.2ghz
Thermaltake Bigwater Liquid cooling system with Volcano 405 CPU Cooler
(4) Western Digital Raptor 10000rpm 150gb SATA drives in raid 0
Seagate 400gb 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive
Creative Labs X-Fi Platinum

3dmark06 score: 19531

I will toy around with the video clock and such and see what kind of scores I can get up to.

[HeavyH20]

Nice OC on the x6800. What volts you running to that? You have a link to the result?

 

[lanolan]

3dmark Scores

I will post some pictures when I get my rig back together. I was having some issues with the stability of the CPU after running more than an hour or so at the 5.2. Going to change my fan setup for the liquid cooling system and see if it does the trick.

Lanolan

 

[HeavyH20]

Do you have the ORB link? The only C2D's I have seen get past 4.3 GHz are on phase. Are you sure you do not mean 4.2 GHz? Even Kingpin with his -100 C LN2 runs only gets the CPU to 5.3. 5.2 is not possible on water cooling alone.
