I thought my PC was leet...

[old.user4556]

...and then i ran 3dmark2005

Just when I got a good score in 2003, 2005 comes out and once again makes my PC look incredibly shite. TBH, the graphics don't look very good at all - infact, the graphics look total piss, particularly at 15 fps.

Overclocking the 6800 GT up to over Ultra speeds didn't make much difference - basically, if you don't have an X800 XT or 6800 Ultra; don't waste your time.

Synthetic pile of poo anyway.

 

[SheepCow]

heh, some of them look pretty w00t.

 

[old.user4556]

yeah the high-res stills look good, but when they're running they look pretty poop

Download it and give it a whirl.

 

[Ch3tan]

I got 2336 or something.

What was your score G?

 

[old.user4556]

I got 4221.

 

[fatbusinessman]

Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks.

In that order.

 

[old.user4556]

Oh for sure.

Seems pointless bringing out a benchmark that runs dreadfully; doesn't really reflect true world gaming. Even SLI 6800 Ultras struggle with 3dmark2k5.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's meant to last for a year or too though isnt it G? Push the limits of the current and upcoming hardware, so it can be expected to run badly for now.

Who cares as long as you can run the games you actually want to play.

 

[Xavier]

Odd that the single card non overclocked has ATI winning, yet in all the real world testing the NV board is the majority winner... benchmarketing...

 

[WPKenny]

4020 on my first attempt but apparently my drivers are already out of date. :/

 

[TdC]

downloading it now on bittorrent but it's almost as if there's only once seed and I'm the other guy heh :/

 

[Ono]

3801

 

[tris-]

what i dont get is how do the people who make these progs get any good marks? do they make their own hardware or something that they dont sell!? do they run super computers or something?

dont laugh

 

[WPKenny]

4459 on a second attempt after upgrading my drivers and putting my 6800GT on "Automatic" overclocking.

 

[Xavier]

Hmm, rather interesting, first attempt had be at ~5900, second shot over 6k... and I can reproduce it every time, reboot PC, wait 5 minutes, 1st run shows in the low 5900's, second run almost 6100... and that's both with v100 and v110.

 

[TdC]

that reeks of caching tbh

 

[harebear]

Downloading now, PC hasn't been changed for like 1 year since I got it so lets see what it can do... :S

 

[old.user4556]

that reeks of caching tbh

I was thinking that too, my 3dmark2k3 was always better on the second run.

 

[TdC]

lol 1241 with my trusty rad9700pro

 

[Sar]

I only get just under 6k with my system on 3dM04 ffs, I dread what I'd get with this.

I really need a new CPU...

Time to save.

 

[SawTooTH]

4243 with version 1.1

 

[Tom]

3706 with 6800GT and AMD 3000XP.

Not bad, not bad, but I'm downloading some new drivers now (from ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/66.81/) and I'll let you see how that goes.

 

[Tom]

4199 with those new drivers

 

[WPKenny]

4199 with those new drivers

That's strange tom. I'm using a 3000XP too so we should have pretty similar results. PC2700 RAM too.

 

[Tom]

wheeeee 4451 now with auto overclock

I have 3200 RAM, perhaps that makes a difference? Asus A7N8X r2 deluxe board.

That's more like it Only 8 points between us.

 

[Clown]

2500 or so. Then I deleted it.
AMD 2500+ @ 2500mhz
9800 Pro

 

[old.user4556]

4199 with those new drivers

Those new drivers are smashing, I scored 5200 with them.

 

[Kryten]

Those new drivers are only any good for directX stuff. 61.77 on the nvidia's is actually quicker in openGL, on the other hand thats all i play at the moment. Getting 4444 (easy to remember) on the above drivers, really cba to install more just to shorten the time between the slides (GT6800, 3200XP, 1gb, not currently oc'd)
