No not SLI. I've seen tons over 7000. Here is one at 7500. Personally if I had my old 6800GT I'd be getting at least 6400-6500 right now. However people were getting way over my VC overclocks with thier Ultras. I'm getting over 6000 now with a X800XL and the XT-PE's clocks kill mine. Personally I'd want at least 9000-10000 points for a next gen card.

Well youll get 9000-10000 on the next gen card(7800gtx) if you overclock it like your talking about overclocking those 6800's

I'm not gaming too much right now. I'll think about it when I can get a card for less than $400 that can get at least 15,000 stock.

Happy Birthday Rabidmoose171 ! :D

Oh rabid it's your birthday! Happy birthday man! Wish ya all the luck, and more new video cards and better cpus in the future! :D

Anyone?

EDIT: BTW, I'm OCing my video card right now, so some updates on me coming soon... finally! :)

ah yes i forgot today was your bday, i just got back from staten island so here is a slightly late happy bday

Thanks ben.


Sex-Machine. I believe because the 3dmark ones are more gaminig oriented, while the others are more totaly computer related including harddrives and such and such. Most people just dont care about those quiet as much. 3dmark is just more universaly accepted.

Superpi competition would be cool too though.

Ah well... I don't know, any competition is welcome by me to be honest. This is a hardware forum, and it would be nice if we could have more hardware related competitions as well. But it ain't up to me to decide so, yeah. Bring up the good 3DMark scores! :)

By the way, when can we expect another 3DMark program up? 2007? I see the pattern is 2 years.

Well unless we get a sticky at the top, what's the point? It's gonna die out. What I was thinking of is if we get PCmark comptetition just like the 3Dmark competition we're currently running. Just add PCMark there amongst the 3Dmark scores. But I don't know whether Mike or vertices would agree to this.

This thread wasn't a sticky when it started, if its a success the mods may sticky it :p

But I know what you're saying, I would like to see some other benchies as well...just need to get the ball rolling ;)

superpi competition!
