Since when was 3Dmark2001 running at 1024x768 with no AA/AF anything to do with real world performance? My X850XT only scores around 24000/25000 in 3Dmark2001 but your setup would be nowhere close to mine in a proper game, although you're welcome to try.Quote:
know I retired from 3dmark but there just isnt any real performance gains with a faster gpu

It isnt but I dont run aa/af so I can compare.....

[B]Thats it? I thought youd at least get close to my 9800p score :confused:

I don't know what the deal is. With an extra 300Mhz and the same GPU slightly overclocked I get over 31000.
I think the '01 score may be disproportionatly low, but the '03 score seems about right.
possible reasons being.
1. I messed around with the services in windows xp so when it boots it hangs for like 30 seconds. (I dont use 2000)
2. I am running latest 5.4 cats...
3. my fsb speed is reported as 202mhz, even though it's 250 :confused: (
4. I am not a 3d mark whore.
5. your score of 31k says you have 2.8ghz san diego (doesnt really compare to 2.5ghz newcastle) and also PCI-express card/shipset.
6. Tbird, my cpu is 100mhz faster, but the ram clock is lower.
7. I play games.
8. I dont 'extreme' tweak so all the installation is capable of is 3dmark at uber low quality setting.
most importantly, I play CS:S with 2xAA and 16xAF with a frame rate around 100.
in all honestly, I can't be bothered to figure why my '01 score is low... I just dont care.
your cpu at 2.5GHz is performing like mine at 2GHz. I know you dont care about 3dmark but if you get to resolving the issue, youll gain alot more performance in games. Your cpu usage isnt optimized. Think of it as a car that needs tweaking to run fast
When will you learn! Even without AA/AF and anything higher then 1024x768 he will be much faster then your rig in gamings!Quote:

I have told you 1000 times that 3DMark01 has NOTHING to do with games. A PC that scores 15k vs one that scored 30k means nothing! It doesnt even mean that the one scores 30k can even play games better!
Also some people are not idiots and squeeze every last possible digit out of 3dmarks as other. So with that said and done, it still means 3dmark = crap for any real game comparison.
Score Update :) It ran at 2.92Ghz (1.728v reading) too but the score went down.
cpu: 3700+ San Diego(2.2)@ 2.85ghz
motherboard: DFI Nf4-Ultra d
ram: PQI Turbo PC4000 @260
video card: ATI Radeon x800XL(400/493) @ 434/565
cpu cooling: Swiftech 6002 waterblock / Bonneville HC / Via Aqua 1300
video cooling: Stock
2k1 score: 31876

Actually now that I think about it, its not that bad. With my Clawhammer at 2.5Ghz and a 6800GT@Ultra I pulled around 26500. It also had way better 2k3/2k5 performance. That 28200 score I had was with LOD hack and tons of tweaking. The 31876 I'm getting now is with tweaking but no LOD.Quote:

ewitte man you need to get on win 2k and DX 8.1 that would help out quite a bit score wise
Just for posting the score I might try 2k tomorrow. This does not do to bad for HL2. On one of the HOCP benches I got around 90fps before with Clawhammer/6800gt. Now its 103 :)Quote:

I found this intersting. So over 33000 should be doable with 2000 :p
Eric
way better than mine ? you reckon there is something wrong with mine ???Quote:

I got about 13500 and 5700 on the 6800GT/2.5Ghz Clawhammer. I've not run 2k5 yet but 2k3 gives me about 12250.Quote:

seems my scores are about right.
I did run 05', and got about 4900, but I couldnt submit because I had the wrong version of 3dm. *rolls eyes*
Let me try 2k5. Honestly it might do so bad in 2k3 because of that 1st test. The card does good with newer stuff. Its just limited in reguards to fill rate. But then it does great in 2k1 so I don't know what is happening :)Quote:

heres a quick 05 run i did, you can compare to that if you want to see what you need to work on or not... minds totaly untweaked on my 24/7 setup just ran for the sake of watching o5.

An analysis by Sudhian as to whether 3dMark is TRULY an accurate gauge of gaming performance:

* I think it is, or as close as you'll get using 'synthetic tests' but, some food for thought in that one!

not 01 though, 03 and 05 are more gpu reliant, like most games.
agreed, 01 doesnt tell you crap for the most part about a system specally when LOD tweaks are involvedQuote:

uhh, half of my watercooling stuff is here, the rest is on the way, along with some gskill tccd...
3ghz should come soon, expect updates;)
Lookin' forward to your updates, Mr Moose! ;) :DQuote:

edit : Have I missed any updated scores, guys? If I did, just point me the way....:p
yeah im really interested to see what my gskill will do with your diego, maybe some 300*10 action... :D anyways good news is i just got some parts for the water chiller so ill be working on that todayQuote:

Yes. Look 6 spaces above your post :) Although I really need to get some 2k tests done and obtain my GPU block.Quote:
