I have trended data from HD 3850 3DMark 06 Scores. I wanted to get this out there for those wondering if it is worth getting the 3850 as an upgrade.
I would be interested in 3850 Owners posting in their individual CPU, SM2 and SM3 scores so I could have the data come to me instead of using ORBs filters. If anyone has 3850 scores in 06 please post and Specify AGP / PCI-E -- 256MB or 512MB mem -- GPU and Mem clocks and your CPU along with the CPU, SM2 and SM3 scores.
I can use them to refine my graphs.
The numbers below are taken directly from ORB and individual submissions. They are mixed - AGP and PCI-E - not really a big deal as this is a mid-range card. I did take measures to ensure no crossfire was included (the delta of SM2 vs SM3 is much higher in a crossfire configuration). I also eliminated data points which varied too far from the average. From the data I gathered, the AGP version holds it own against its PCI-E relatives. The curves are representative of an overclocked 3850. If you have run 3Dmark06 you should be able to apply your CPU score to this graph to estimate what performance you can expect if you had an Overclocked 3850. I used 3DMark 06 as a Baseline because it has a large and readily available database. It also separated out the CPU Score from the Graphic Score allowing me to show how much CPU power is needed before the 3850 hits a ceiling. Thanks to 15th Warlock for getting me a crucial data point to show how far AGP can go. Thanks to Tom's Hardware for dissecting 3Dmark 06 so I could get the formula used to calculate the 3DMarks. Enjoy, and click me a "Thanks" if you find it useful.
