Yeah I'm with btarunr, I'd appreciate some validation tbh.

toloratedmeat · Oct 21, 2008

Umm.. I'm having some problems with 3Dmark06 on the i7 system. When I press go it says:

Error: An unknown error occurred.

btarunr · Oct 21, 2008

I'm asking for a CPU-Z validation. If you were able to run it, you'll sure be able to validate it.

toloratedmeat · Oct 21, 2008

sure ill do it now.
How long will it take?

I think we all do. I so want my 920 set up.

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 21, 2008

I think this is a total hoax, and I think the images he posted off 3dmark with an ungodly 27K is faked as well. I pulled the image into Photoshop and zoomed in on the 272, the 2's both look different at the pixel level. A standard font should not show any difference.

Also the highest score off Alcopones 3dmark is 26K belonging to Fitseries..thats at 5Ghz with 1 4870x2 and 1 4870.

So unless this kid is running Ln2 @ 6.0Ghz with his 4870x2 oc'd like crazy...no f'ing way.

Where did he post that he had a score of 77k in 3dmark. I saw one with 27k though and if you look closely at successful even the two cc's are different so that doesn't mean its fake since the two 2's are slightly different.

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 21, 2008

Im just saying how easy it is to manipulate images...he didn't do 77773, I did.

But 27K? I know the top is 33K in 3dmark06 and it's a seriously OC'd rig.

I was seriously confused by that image. I thought 27k might be possible since its a new cpu because my friend got 22k I think with his 4870X2 and a q6600 maybe it was 20k I can't remember.

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 21, 2008

Well check out this thread...no one in the top ten scores above 27K. Those are some serious overclocks...I am just having a hard time believing this...and he stated it was with his current machine, not the i7.

validation will be the only proof on his post...

I would want to see a validation of 3Dmark06

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 21, 2008

I am all for the OP proving me wrong. Please validate.

Bench Mark: My Own System the i7 One is coming

he did say his own system and his i7 is coming

what is fitseries cpu score?

FordGT90Concept · Oct 21, 2008

I'll just throw this out there: 3D Mark has never been very good for processor benchmarking and that's what matters here...

Agreed, we need to see some PC Mark Vantage or perhaps a SuperPI 32M, in fact Sceincemark would be really good as it benches several different CPU calculations as well as memory bandwidth and latency.

Im not taking any hyped nonsense, im just gonna wait for the official release, with REAL people posting REAL scores with GENUINE opinions.

Then ill await your opinion n scores, because you've been on the site a while. :toast:

but as for kids with a single figure post count claiming absoloute rubbish deserve a grilling off TPU.

Show us a screenie of the error, or it aint true. :slap:

Run a different benchmark. People have suggested plenty.

I vote to ban this guy. This is worse than SPAM.

im going to have to agree i was totally on this guys side...and while i know that new tech can cause alot of probs i know that if i had something not released yet i would totally being shuveling out and posting everything that would run on it..like when i got my 9600's AQ3 refused to run on it so i moved on to the next thing and just banged out benchmarksfor you guys...i mean he may get delayed yes..but i remember when i got new stuff even if it wasnt like just coming out i even went as far as taking a day off from school to play and i sure as hell know i wouldnt take a break and watch TV with ~$1500 in new unreleased components in my case. my 9600's never got a rest if i didnt sleep neither did they same with the coolers etc that i reveiw

Silverel · Oct 21, 2008

There's always the possibility that this kid gets off on making us all wait. Which, if it were the case, would make him an ever bigger prick...

No one on our 3dmark list comes close to his score. :wtf:

while iv seen preliminarys of the i7 they did have amazing scores thats for sure but to beat our team he would need to OC everything in his rig way high and he would need specs id have to rob a bank to afford..though im willing to let it all go if i get proof.

EDIT: what really gets me is didnt he say he was using the eclipse? and the cpu-z he posted is the lattest version but since 1.47.x cpu-z has supported the i7 other sites have SS of the i7 with 1.47.x on the eclipse and it shows the bus etc....and further more he is using the 3.2Ghz model which if i remember correctly is like the EE correct? if so why is his i7 logo in cpu-z blue and not black? the EE logos are black.

EDIT2: nvm the 965 logos are black i bealive. what gets me is the clock havent 940's been confirmed at 2.9ghz?
