NEW - 3DMark 11 Compilation

[Radi_SVK]

with CAT AI on high I get P2638 3DMarks with CAT AI on quality I get P2757 3DMarks

thats a considerable difference,isnt it?

 

[douglatins]

Ok, this is interesting. Which drivers are you using?

No this is extremely interesting, completely misses the purpose of a comparative benchmark. Futuremark SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ASAP

 

[Athlonite]

yup sure is IF anything 3DMark11 should bypass nVidia's and ATI control panel setting altogether and use/force it's own

 

[claylomax]

Bad Company 2 is one of the best games ever made in my opinion, graphically and gameplay plus the campaign was pretty sweet too. I'm excited about vietnam.

Really? I couldn't disagree more.

Perhaps they will make us swear on the holly bible that we will genuinely use the highest settings.... well I would

This is not new. It happened in Vantage as well.

Sorry Im the wrong one to ask in general.I've responded to that post becasue while Bad Company 2 isnt bad,Graphically its defo not that super duper good and gameplay wise there is nothing much new

I've added another score to my first post...Im using the latest drivers made for GTX580,the 263.09 with modded .ini file to be able to use this package with my GTX 480

EDIT:experiment results:i7 950 @ 4.140GHz + GTX 480 835core/1000memory with NVIDIA control panel image quality at quality score P5851
control panel image quality at balanced score P5929

EDIT:control panel image quality at performance score P6130

Hmm, were is high quality? So that's how they were getting scores in the mid P5500 - P6000 range. Could you also perform extreme benchmark results (high quality vs performance). I want to see if the increase is just as high or minuscule.

Yeah its nothing that new in real,everyday life....but come on,they claim to be the best bench and this is unacceptable.

Hmm, were is high quality?

I was using the Use my preference emhasising and that is 3 settingserformance,Balanced and Quality

Are you saying that nv control panel no longer has HQ? Perhaps I'm not understanding you, do you have a pic of these settings?

HEY GUYS!!! Now Im going to cause some debating here!!!

I dont know about you,but I've just found out trying some random stuff,that The overall Image Quality Setting in your NVIDIA control panel or Catalyst does have a huge impact on the score!!

Until now I thought that 3dMark11 entirely handles its own settings to make the scores more objective,but it seems that I was wrong...Now I think we have to make some changes in the rules(like adding one which tells us to use the highest image quality settings,cos that seems the only way to make it as objective as possible)..but I leave this for AthlonX2 and to rest of you guys to verify this by yourself..

EDIT:experiment results:i7 950 @ 4.140GHz + GTX 480 835core/1000memory with NVIDIA control panel image settings at quality score P5851
control panel image settings at balanced score P5929

EDIT:control panel image settings at performance score P6130

Now this is ridiculous!!! We all know that the control panels for VGA cards have the control over the overall performance but should be a benchmark with such a big name as objective as possible....well according to my test objective my arse...they should make the benchmark settings override the control panels settings to one same settings everybody would use...

I thought this was always the case, even as far back as 3dm01?

Cheers I knew there was the beta,it just didnt show the specific version on the page..I thought if its beta it will show in Afterburner too,thats why I got confused.

Yeah,you are probably right...but we will never know who is honest and who is cheating...but still would be nice if they could fix this..

Maybe it's the Skin "Blue Kompakter Skin by Gryphon" who shows this (wrong) 2.1.8 Versions number...

There are probably articles out there for past versions of 3dm on how to tweak your system for better results. I can imagine that there are (or will be) articles for the new version, too. However, I really don't consider it cheating, but more as tweaking. There are a lot of people who tweak their system for any other kind of benches, why not this one, too?

If this is going to become an issue we may end up moving to a futuremark validation ONLY system. Any thoughts on this?

I hope not as i just sent off one of my 6870's so can't do any more crossfire runs also would this only be available to users of paid editions?
