Update the scores

Jesus dude! I have a lot of work- I update far more often than the Sciencemark 2 and 3DMark06 threads! I will update tomorrow.

3DMark06 score:
Running my x1950 pro at 601/729, using Catalyst 7.9

I'm still tweaking this new mobo some more, and I'll get the scores for the other benches up soon.
Not the greatest, but, IMO, not too bad for my setup

I am crazy but not stupid.I won't go against a crossfire with 1 card. Also my main rig is down i have to RMA the ram. I am running a P3 that gets about 2300 in 01 also i had a x1950pro so i know how they do.I still think the 7900gs is better value for the money. The 7900 overclocks like mad. After i get my ram replaced and volt mod my GPU i will see what i can do.

oh dear i know how that feels like i have a 450mhz p3 and a 2ghz celly as backup but with both onboard gfx :| one with a voodoo agp ledgend

ill run my quickest single card when you get back on track the x1950pro's go for £75 that is alot better buy than any 7900gs might not have the large overclocking margin but you can do a fair bit of tricks with it because the core is near reaching its maximum potential ill volt mod my card some more see if i can get 675core

In the US i think the 7900GS is a better value but in other places it doesn't look that way.I hope to get 705mhz on the core when i do the 1.55v mod on it but i will have to wait for water cooling and a TEC before i do that.I am going to do the 1.3v i hope to get 600mhz on the core.i am not going to do anything with the mem it runs at 905mhz without a problem so it doesn't need anymore but i may do that one also just to try to get 1000mhz but i am going to need alot better cooling.
I see you are running a X2 not a C2D that helps some but not much because i can only get 2.8ghz on my x2 so that is going to show a difference in score also the ram but i won't be too picky with that when i get my rig back up and working. Wish i could get a refund for my ram so i can get a 2gb kit and not the 1gb.

i cant go further than 600/940 but ill take u on

 

[mitsirfishi]

this is becoming a 3 way battle i know the core 2 should make you leap ahead by a fair few frames but ill see what my x2 will bench at

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I got my ram working so i am going to tweak it a little tomorrow than i am going to try to get better than the x1950pro's.I am going to run it without the volt mod because i still don't have a multimeter.If anyone has one they want to send me from free PM me. I don't think anyone will.

 

[mitsirfishi]

you just want to be different what benchmarking programes we going in 03,05, 06 ?

why dont you use nibitor to edit your bios flash it and raise your volts like so ?

 

[p_o_s_pc]

03 and 05 if you want tonight if you want to wait than 03 05 06 and Aqua mark 3.

 

[mitsirfishi]

i dont mind i need abit of tinkering time and ripping out one of my cards

 

[p_o_s_pc]

1. no 3 1/2 drive
2. i don't think you can do that with the 7900 the only way is a hardware mod

 

[p_o_s_pc]

so tomorrow we will bench after we both tweak a few things and you get your other card out. I know right now i am going to be in 3rd if i am going against a C2D and a x2 6000 my 4600 can't even get as high as the 6000 is at stock speeds.

 

[mitsirfishi]

havnt you tried going higher on your vcore ? my 6000 has to come 2nd best to a c2d unfortunatly...

 

[p_o_s_pc]

yes i have. I have to have 1.57v to get 2.8ghz stable to benchmark but not orthos stable. i have to set my v-core to the max my mobo can go.There has been few of the 4600's overclocking past 2.8 some people get lucky and get 2.9- 3ghz but i have one that won't.

But that's only for benchtesting right?
x2 4600 would get pretty hot at those speeds v1.57.

OC's better than my 4800+ anyway.
43deg max in prime95 but when gaming it gets a bit higher.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

yes it gets hot. 57c-60c and yes only for benching.It idles around 46c when running at that.Soi just try to get it done fast.I only run 1 benchmark than i downclock and lower the v-core for about 30min to get it cooled down than go to the next benchmark.

I have something i need an answer to from someone that knows what the hell they are talking about.
I have a spare 350w PSU and the 4 pin to 6pin that came with my video card...could i jump the 350w PSU to just power the video card and run the rest of the system on the Hiper?

 

[imperialreign]

not sure on that man . . . I mean, I see what you're getting at, but I honestly don't know how well that would work.


Still grabbing some more benchmarks - I had a thought, if anyone would like to add this benchmark to the archive, a full OpenGL benching program (a little outdated, though):

GL Excess

it'd be interesting to see how much better the nVidia cards do with OpenGL over the ATi's - If y'all wanting to include this test, too, here's my results so far, along with screenies of the other benchmarks:

 

[theonetruewill]

F.E.A.R. for me!! All settings are just as shown in the examples.

Is this with your 8800GTS???

***Scores updated***


If anyone spots any scoring mistakes please let me know.
IF YOU HAVE NON-APPROVED DRIVERS PLEASE PM ME SO I KNOW WHICH ONES THEY ARE- THIS WILL BE USEFUL AT A LATER DATE. I AM NOT TRYING TO DISCREDIT USERS OF THEM. THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO PLACED DRIVER INFORMATION REGARDLESS OF TYPE- I MAY USE THIS IN THE FUTURE. I AM DOING A PILOT-RUN OF CPU-Z LINKS FOR PROCESSOR INFO; IF YOU LIKE IT PLEASE SAY SO- OTHERWISE I WILL DITCH IT

 

[Deleted member 24505]

a slightly better score with my new E6750 at 3.6ghz

this is with driver version 7.6.i will try it with 7.8 and 7.9 too and see what the differance is.

 

[pbmaster]

Is this with your 8800GTS???

Nah man, it's with my 7900 GT *wink wink*

 

[Deleted member 24505]

new 3d03 score too-

 

[Deleted member 24505]

finally 3d05-

mitsirfishi I am still trying to get my RAM stable. It isn't working right still but i will try later if you want I just can't push my system ram vary high.
