Post Your 3dmark05 Scores

aaargh, 9952 with my 79gt @ 605/ 1600, sooo close to 10K, any ideas?? the mem slider is at the max and the core wont move any more. was hoping to get 10k without mods oh well,

any ides would be appreciated.

Gerry.

EDIT: forgot the link http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=2207325

I'll give you the extra 50 odd points easy if you want, go to this link:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1409

And download the Z modded drivers, they are rock solid stable, no issues and are just fine tweaked for optimum performance, I used them with my 7900GT when I had it and it gave me over 100 extra 3D 2005 points but systems/settings do vary, they should give you the extra boost, please let me know how you get on.
 
Thanks tatty, im using the latest from Nvidia, am downloading the Z drivers now. Will let you know how I get on.

One last thing to do also perhaps in conjunction with the new drivers after you have run the test as it currently is, drop your core back to 595 from 600, sometimes a core right on the edge of its "maxed out" highest level can actually go backwards slightly in performance, I found with mine I actually got slightly better scores (about 30ish) throttling back 5Mhz.

who says that the 7900GT is better than X1900GT?

Look at this:

With my X1900GT to the X1900XTX clocks (650/1550) and my CPU at 2560MHz



And look at gerrynicol, with his 7900GT at 605/1600 with the CPU clocked at 2600MHz (40MHz more than me), and he takes 10301 3DMarks (at 05), vs 10991 that I have.

sorry made a typo the mem on the card is 1600
 
thx!

but... how is possible?

ByE!
 
how is what possible?, please explain.
 
I think he means how is it possible for a 1900GT to score so high, I don't know in every review I have ever read the 7900GT and 1800xt beats the 1900GT. Yes the drivers are stable for everyday use no problems, I ran them on my 7900GT for a couple of months, nice score buy the way, you owe me one! I got you over 300 points, nice one!

On the 1900GT, I didnt see anything on the pics thats actually said "1900GT", unless I am blind so it could actually be any card, ohhhh and dont get too smug, my 1800xt will be above 11000 at the weekend! once I get my new PSU and I can benchmark and post proof.
 
yeah, cheers, tatty, hope I can help one day, with someting ???, dont know too much about ATI cards, maybe he got a real 19XTX with downbinned clocks, who knows I need to get another 7 points to beat my best score with my 6800GT SLI lol, am gonna keep trying.

Again Tatty cheers again, and hope ill be able to help you wit something.

Gerry.
 
No problems. Not suggesting for one minute the 1900GT score is not genuine, in fact think it probably is however if you wanna post proof make sure it says what the card is is all I am saying, plus where the 1900GT does excel is benchmarks because of high clock speeds, in real world gaming it falls behing the 1800xt and 7900GT and at the end of the day, unless you play 3D Mark 2005 thats what counts, nice score though Outside....well done!
 
well thanks, I dont oc in everyday apps. just benchies. dont see the point lol. just some guys at work havin a go for sellin the 6800gts to buy a slower card, hope thisll show them lol

hey are there any drivers like that for ati ? im looking to beat my best which is 4769 not too bad for a lowly x1600PRO

yes, check my specs and google it, beer to me if your score goes up but my advice would be to only download the drivers, not CCC (you have the options), use them for benchmarking only if you want to use CCC for daily use.

Spotted, well done! strange thing is that on the game tests and features test my scores are higher than yours but your CPU test score is higher which for some strange reason means my Graphics card is actually performing better and faster than yours! but your CPU is giving you the extra points, I will need to check this but my main PC with all my info on is fried until my new PSU and Mobo arrive on Friday.

sorry mate thanks for the advice, tried drivers and got 500 less 05 points, just left all options at default and oc'd card and cpu to exact same so no beer for you lol

Just the drivers and not CCC and/or control panel etc? strange, I got a 230 point increase, make sure that under "start"...run, tpe "msconfig" that in startup and services the CCC entries are disabled as sometimes they stay in there from previous installation.
 
heres mine,7600gt@610core/1600mem-

Tig, get to work and get that score to 7000, a simple project that should take less than an hour!
 
hello, is it an ok score?.i have a zalman vf700cu on it,with the little sinks that came with it on the ram.the fan blows straight down onto the ram sinks.

do you reckon it will go higher than 610/1600?.i have no experience with a 7600gt at all.

it is much faster than the x800gto i had previously.88000 stock and 92000 clocked on aqua.the best i could do with the x800gto was 74k clocked to shit.

just out of interest,zalman reckon the vf700 will not fit on nvidia pcx cards.so just to let everyone know,they do.
 
Yes it's a good score but I think you could do a little better, are you using normal or modded drivers? If normal try these:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1409

They are Forceware drivers modded for optimum performance, rock solid stable and good for 100-300 extra 3D Mark points usually.

What are you using for overcloking and temprature monitoring of your card?
 
nvidia control panel,its been a while since i had a nvidia card m8.

its a small card this,but i am quite impressed.92000 on aqua beat my mates twin 6800gs sli setup.
 
dont bother too much with 3dmarks in general with that Pentium D...;)
 
I got 2085 on my X550 OC'ed from 400/200 to 500/300 on a Pentium D 930 @3720mhz and 2x512Mb Infineon ddr2 @660mhz 5-5-5-14.
