Top 5 will be all sli now a days... and for 01 top 5 will be dominated by ATI, its nothign to worry about it, that 6800gt will go allllooooooooooong way.
Still there are 2 SLi set ups on the top 5 in 01, but it definitely seems like ATi is dominating 01. Why so I wonder? Is it because of the core clocks? They all seem pretty high...Quote:

Benchmark: 3DMark05
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ClawHammer
Stock Speed of CPU: 2.21 GHz
Overclocked speed of CPU: N/A
MotherBoard: Epox 9NPA NF4 SLi
Ram: 2x512 Corsair PC3200
Video Card: Nvidia 6800GT
Stock Core of Video: 350MHz
Actual Core of Video: 380MHz
Stock Mem of Video: 1000MHz
Actual Mem of Video: 1020MHz
Cooling Used: Stock cooling.
Your scores with links: 4628
Its not just you, 3DMark does the same thing for me, rarely does it recognize my 7800GTX clock speeds correctly.Quote:

So I thought ok, I must've hit the end here, it's starting to glitch, but what I noticed is everything else seems to be perfectly fine. No mistakes elsewhere. I thought I'd ask whether this has happened to anyone before, on 03. My temperatures are still stable at 59 C. No glitches or mistakes outside the program.
Also I ran this Detect Optimal Settings thing, and it told me that the max is 399 on core and 1190 on memory. I read somewhere though that this Optimal setting shouldn't be trusted.
That, my friend, is artifacts...
Sorry, I'm not too familiar which is which actually. So do you know whether I've hit the end? Because as I was saying, this doesn't happen anywhere else, but only at the end on the Nature part on 03.Quote:

Rabid. Let us know how that phase change works out. Mine is on Layaway scheduled for late this year or early next. I'm not in too much of a hurry. Kinda got chewed out for spending an hour on my PC yesterday :( ... although it was while eating dinner.

Not exactly. When I'm getting to the point of artifacts the score usually starts to drop. Push it too far and it will hang.
Well yea, there is a limit.
Get more artifacts where though? This is my primary concern, will I get artifacts outside the 3DMark programs or only in the 3DMark programs?Quote:

You can get artifacts in any 3D program/benchmark or game if you OC too far. Some of it just depends on how taxing the game is.Quote:
