Alcpone's Official 3DMark '06 Compilation

[renozi]

YAY I broke 7K! Same everything, just overclocked mem to 438MHz! I tried using atitool but it keeps crashing trying to find max core and mem. Oh well, I hope you still count this Alcpone. I also decided to buy a 8800GTS 320MB next week! I'm looking forward to those benchmarks!

And to pt, everyone is getting 10K+ while I'm getting 7K, yet you say there won't be a big difference? Also, all the review sites has the 8800GTS a lot better than even the x1950xtx at my res 1680x1050. Anyone else think I should get the 8800GTS?

 

[Mussels]

buy a 640MB... games such as lost planet require 512MB+ to run the DX10 demo... so 320MB wont last you long when DX10 games start hitting.

 

[renozi]

well I figure I do evga's stepup when the 8900 comes out? is that even possible? and when are the first DX10 games coming anyhow?

 

[erocker]

Where are the 2900 scores? C'mon people!

 

[Alcpone]

Here my latest and greatest score

11270

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2014459

E6600 @ 3.3Ghz
eVGA 8800GTS 320mb @ 650/975

can you post cpuz screenie

 

[Alcpone]

Hey guys, I MIGHT be buying a 8800GTS 320MB soon!

Just wondering how big of a difference this would get me:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082
Over this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130038

And don't say the price! lol And which one would I be able to overclock more with? And would the cheaper one be able to overclock to the quicker one easily?

Sorry, Alcpone, I know this is a competition thread but I just wanted to ask a quick question without making a new thread. I figure what better place to do it then here where there are lots of 8800GTS's. And if I get one, I'll post up '06 score!

They will clock more or less the same, until you vmod it that is

Just compare your cpu and speed to others, that will give you a ruff idea, just remember all 8800GTS 320mb pcb are the same, so go for the best warranty/service, etc...

 

[renozi]

I ran into something shopping for 8800GTS's! LOL
8800GTS 640 for $340USD-$30Rebate=$310
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=322839
And of course the 320 one from Newegg for roughly $40 less after everything is said and done.
OH GOD, HELP!! Is the 640 worth the extra $40??

 

[Alcpone]

You got to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and say, hmmmmm bigger e-penis or slightly smaller lol, I cant fault my 8800 and once I get it vmodded up I will be even happier

I suppose if you intend on keeping it longer than 6 months you might want to go 640, if not just get the 320, but all depends on what resolution you play at? Only you can decide, let the force be with you

 

[renozi]

lol thanks alcpone, advice accepted!

 

[Wile E]

Where are the 2900 scores? C'mon people!

Mine is on there. But I think the problem is that 3DMark06 doesn't run with the 2900 until you rename one of it's dlls. It hangs when trying to read the cards clocks. Most owners probably haven't figured it out yet.

 

[trt740]

well couldn't return C2D and 6000+ sold so welcome to the darkside

i'm still tweaking this run was at 3.68 ghz for whatever reason 3dmarks06 reads cpu speed wrong .

 

[newtekie1]

Here is my ATI score, this time with approved drivers:

And of cource a CPU-Z screenie for clock speed confirmation:

Your killing me here now I'm forced to buy a new cpu thanks

 

[jjnissanpatfan]

I know i like being in the top 5.The way this is going i'm going to have to say screw the intel and put a beefy V-8 hows that for a mod!!!Maybe ill get someone to buy this set-up and go for 20k but i'm happy right now cause every game i play is smooth as butter and looks great so its hard to justify a upgrade.

 

[strick94u]

I understand I should be just happy I get over 11000 @ 3.1 ghz and the fact that I avg 72 fps in oblivion with every thing set on high. But something on the inside says push I would get another 8800 gs 640 sc and do sli but I don't think i could find another card that would keep up with this one.

 

[Alcpone]

TRT I cant see your cpu clock and fsb for accuracy I need it

Newtekie what clocks is your card running @, also for accuracy

 

[trt740]

I posted my clock speed fsb was 462. I can re run it when I get the time because it going to go higher my chip will do near 3.8ghz and run the test. Alcapone you ever get this board kicking you out of your O/C setting to factory default when you reset even with a stable orthos prime clock. It saves the clock and if I reset from the bios it's fine again, but it does revert back to 2.4ghz sometime if I restart with the reset button from windows. I think I read it does this sometimes and it's some type of motherboard protection.

 

[trt740]

Here is another slightly faster clock

 

[Alcpone]

Ive got the rev.1 and never have that problem unless I try to boot with anything above 3.36Ghz/480FSB ish!

It will reset to stock, but never when its stable and I reset, I assume you have the most recent bios?

 

[trt740]

yes I have read it does this It's no big deal it happens infrequently. I have bios 11

 

[0elemental0]

100% stock clocks in what used to be an hp a1250n, powercolor x1950xt 512
3d05=10916
--06=5733

 

[strick94u]

I would like to point out in the single card Nvidia group I have the lowest clock in the top 10 therefore my card kicksass

[JUDAS3]

please add my score to the list - many thanks.

gfx settings @ 670/970

 

[Alcpone]

Nice score judas
