3Dmark06 score

HossHuge · Sep 11, 2009, 01:27 PM

After reading this chart from Hardware Canucks, I'm not sure my 3Dmark06 score is where it should be. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Crossfire is showing in CCC, GPU-z and in my hardware device panel. I know my CPU is knocking my score off, but by that much? When I run a single 4850 my number's are smack on.

This is with a Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9770 @ 3.852Ghz

This is from a guy at Tom's with a PII X4 940 @ 3.5GHz and 4850 at stock
3DMark06 score 18,494
SM2.0 7,230
SM3.0 8.769
CPU 5,186

and my numbers - 4850 @ 670 core/1080 memory

3DMark Score 15879 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 5860
SM 3.0 Score 8089
CPU Score 4218
CPU AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core Processor
CPU Speed 3100 MHz
GPU ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Memory 4096 MB

Seems okay to me. A bit of adjustment and you'll gain a few numbers. I had a crossfire 4850 setup with a 4.2GHz dual core CPU in the 18k region, so yours seems alright. By the way letting GPU-Z run while benching can affect the score.

upping your cpu speed would also increase your gpus scores aswell as the cpu scores.

plus he was using a pII too not then phenom 1 like yours.

something isn't jiving with that score from Tom's site

this is what I mean by not jiving.... unless my 4890 is a POS

I found my 4890s to be very sensitive. One wrong clock setting and your score goes downhill.

Agreed. With my PII 940 @ 3700, and my 4850s at 700/1050 I pull right at a hair over 20k...so the guy claiming 18,494 with a single 4850 and a PII @ 3.5...

I call bullshit...my 2 cents...

x2 thank you

no to hijak this thread but look at what im dealing with... I sent these images to XFX support last night..showing how one gpu (reference design) against a non reference design...I hope they figure this crap out

JATownes · Sep 11, 2009, 03:43 PM

Your GPU-z shots all show Crossfire disabled...I think that is your problem, but that is just my 2 cents

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the last shot (17000+) showing it enabled...

lol... what im showing is how a non AMD reference 4890 lags behind a reference designed gpu.
XFX claims there shouldn't be any problems between the two cards

They told me that the info was going to be escalated to the engineers.
I hope with all the info I gave them helps resolve the current problems many of us face..
Who knows... mabey an updated bios may be in the works but who knows.

JATownes · Sep 11, 2009, 06:06 PM

LOL....I guess I should read...that would solve the problem...

HossHuge · Sep 11, 2009, 06:08 PM

Thanks for your input boys. I have a great inner struggle about my CPU. I game at 2048 x 1152 so I feel that my CPU is really not holding me back more that any other CPU would. Here is my latest score with my CPU at 3.2. I was quite surprised I made it through the benchmark.

Just my 2 cents...Grab a Phenom II...you will notice a HUGE increase right off the bat...at least I did...and I also notice a fairly large increase in minimum framerates using crossfire when I go from 3.2Ghz to 3.8Ghz...

me too, I went from a 9850 to the PII 940 and it was a HUGE leap in performance

Gonna try these 9.9 tonight and I will post some results here...It will be late, I have to install my new NB cooler with some MX2 on my board...and some MX2 on my 4850s...then we will play :evil laugh:
