First benchmark

SUBMAN1 · 06-13-09, 01:32 PM

Figured I'd see what 3DMark 2006 says about this box and 16526 is a pretty decent score. It's not the best I have seen, but it is definitely up there:

Specs on that is AMD Phenom II X4 955 CPU, DDR3 1333 RAM (7-7-7-20), ATI 4870 1GB.

-S

Noone likes a showoff.

For comparison:

12687;

SM2.0 6045
SM3.0 5876
CPU 2755

8800GTS 512
E6750 3.2GHz / 1600FSB
4GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12

Just wait till I get my new CPU.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 05:31 PM

Hmm... wheres can I get this program.

Free, unless you want to change options. Not worth buying IMHO, unless you have a compulsive need to have the highest score and think everyone should know about it. IMHO all you need to know is if the card does the job for you.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 08:28 PM

I got a 10,293.

Howd my 8800gts 640 thats overclocked, 3 gigs of ram, and E8400 get a 10,293.

Task Force - Anything in the 5 digit range will play anything out there no problem, and will still play anything out there for the near future. You should feel good that you are in the 5 digit range.

-S

PS. He is probably overclocking more than you. I should overclock and see what happens. My CPU was at stock speeds when I took the above scores.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 09:11 PM

yea... lol, now what to upgrade next.

maby the GPU...

Aye, like I said, it's just a score mate.

If you're happy with the card than that's all that matters.

I have a theory too: if you buy the program, they make money. If you don't buy the program you need to check your score online, ending up on a page with lots of "BUY IT" links. I have a suspicion they make money if you follow one of those links. In short: ignore the d**n scores as they're only there to make you feel bad and get you to spend more money.

* only CPU is OCd over here, card is at Gigabyte stock (700/1700/1000). The difference in the cards comes from the fact the GTS 512 has the same core that went into the 9xxx series (G92 instead of G80).

Task Force · 06-13-09, 09:26 PM

yea... arclight, howd you get a higher score than me. lol.

Arclight · 06-13-09, 09:30 PM

Spending too much money.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 09:32 PM

lol.

well you know what... my computer runs crysis with my homemade uber config i made from a template nicely, im happy. lol

Arclight · 06-13-09, 09:35 PM

Exactly, that's all that matters.

Task Force · 06-13-09, 09:36 PM

Strangely, for a 2 year old gpu thats been worked like crazy, and overheated, it runs great. lol:rotfl:

CaptainHaplo · 06-15-09, 06:41 PM

I got a 4.... is that good?

Arclight · 06-15-09, 07:14 PM

:rotfl:

It is if you think it is.
