3DMark06 Discussion and Insight Thread

Wow! Does that card suck!

 

[TheGoat Eater]

don't even know if I should post in results thread

 

[Tatty_Two]

Hehe, odd. Every score went up with getting the E8400, except 3dmark06. 06 went down 1000 points when switching from a Q6600 to an e8400. Odd.....

One of the few genuine multithredded apps. The SM2 and SM3 should be a little higher tho with a higher clocked E8400 I would guess.

 

[Tatty_Two]

now you`re talking.....good choice...

If I remember rightly you said you were dissapointed with the scores your 8500 were producing?

 

[Tatty_Two]

test run on gpu 24/7 settings and not on the benching hd

Nice to see yours is up and running most of mines in, had to take the kids out today so mine should be finished in the morning, just the cards to do now and the front panel headers.

You're probably right! He just wants everyone back on duals for competition's sake!

yeah im leaving in a bit

well a dual at 4.5Mhz is like a Q at 3Mhz

Here's mine
Highest OC I can get out of this card. I get 64c under load, do you guys think I could do with better cooling? Would I get a better OC with a better cooler do you think? I've already done a 1.1v bios volt mod

Hmm, I find that odd because on stock cooling on the stock evga version I get 720core...

That's not my quote.

Please update my score when you are able:

umm, anyone else know what o/c my e6550 is capable of?
I haven't hit max yet, but will have to wait 'till I have some free time to go for more.

 

[oli_ramsay]

That's mine lol, I've considered getting an Artic Accelero s1 and strapping a couple of 120mm fans on there to see if it aids overclocking. But I'm quite happy with the card at those speed, plays Crysis at Ultra settings (custom config) at around 15-20fps in DX9 mode, and any other game on full settings at 1680*1050. Not bad for only £125

The top link goes to a login page, the bottom link is just fine, I'll have it updated tonight.

yeah only for 06..all the others need high clocks,which the QX9650 couldn`t achieve..

You're probably right! He just wants everyone back on duals for competition's sake!

no man...you can bench with whatever you like if it is to pass me..

yeah im leaving in a bitwell a dual at 4.5Mhz is like a Q at 3Mhz

and where did you see that??

 

[DOM]

and where did you see that??

well I have to run it but a Dual at 4500Mhz scores like a Q at 3000Mhz low 4k am I right ?

 

[Mussels]

i'm surprised how you can even run windows with only 4.5Mhz

 

[Wile E]

i'm surprised how you can even run windows with only 4.5Mhz

I was wondering how long before somebody said something. lol.

LOL if you look at CPU-Z its Mhz Not Ghz where did Ghz come from ?

 

[Mussels]

LOL if you look at CPU-Z its Mhz Not Ghz where did Ghz come from ?

I'll be nice, i guess you just dont know somehow...

4500MHz = 4.5GHz.
Giga is one thousand mega. megahertz, gigahertz...
seriously dont know how you dont know that, or thought abbreviating it down without changing the m/g made sense.

 

[Wile E]

LOL if you look at CPU-Z its Mhz Not Ghz where did Ghz come from ?

Yeah, but if you look at cpuz, it's 4500Mhz, not 4.5. lol.

LOL okay so when you use 4.5 you need Ghz but 4500Mhz

 

[Mussels]

maybe it was just a brain fart, who knows. we all do dumb things sometimes.

Hz - one cycle per second.
Mhz - one hundred cycles per second
GHz is 1 thousand cycles

So a 4.5Ghz CPU is 4500MHz CPU

 

[DOM]

Yeah, but if you look at cpuz, it's 4500Mhz, not 4.5. lol.

ha ha you never relyed on you pm

Eh, he's probably just too young. He prob doesn't remember the days when 320MB drives were the norm, and 1GB drives were huge. Never seeing the MB to GB transition, he probably never put 2 and 2 together.

ah i remember upgrading to 32MB of ram, so i could play the extra-large maps in total annihilation...

actually i vaguely remember DOS gaming, where i needed to load the mouse driver before i could game...
