Post your 3dmark06 HD 3K Series Results

[trog100]

lol at 1280x800 he's running 1,024,000 pixels during the bench vs 1,310,720 by the default res. that's 23% less pixels!!! if this were alcpones 3dmark thread his score never would have been added.

so he may not be cheating deliberatly, but he needs to get it fixed before he posts results. otherwise it's not an accurate comparison.

does that mean my 1680 x 1050 widescreen is running more pixels than it should be then.. or am i loseing the plot somewhat here..

@Freaksaviour, for the record, my score as shown in the list was achieved with the clocks at 843-1251.

@trog100, no dice with upping the northbridge voltage, went up (in steps) all the way to the max of 1.7v, still won't post reliably above 425. I got it to 435, but a couple of reboots later it failed. Also tried upping the CPU PLL voltage (clock generator?) and FSB termination voltage (no idea what that is), no change. I'm wondering whether my memory just doesn't like to clock, I really miss the dividers on my old AMD rig! I've set my DDR800 down to 667, but thats all I can do as far as I know....Any other ideas?

A slightly better one-

I believe that puts me in 5th place without a OC on the card.

BTW every program but CPU-z reads my OC as 4.0GHz, but CPU-z is correct in this pic.

 

[freaksavior]

^^ is it at 4.0 or 3.5?

and updated the list..if anything is wrong let me know (just dont be knit picky)

 

[Deleted member 24505]

the new score is with these clocks freaksaviour

core-770
mem-999

thanks.

 

[sneekypeet]

its at 3.5GHz, here I will edit in the wierd issues that comes with this Bloodiron and my CPU ....This only happens once I pass 500 FSB( that a topic for another thread!

Here thaey are all playing fair now....but 3D06 reads it as 4GHZ tho...so did 05...here is the actual X3.

Here's the best I can offer for other HD 3850 owners out there. I know the resolution is 1440x900 but for whatever reason, I can't change it to 1280x1024. However, the difference between the two performance wise is so trivial that I still believe it gives others a good idea of how it performs.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I have a 3850 too devguy,look at the differance between our scores,that chip is not bottlenecking your card is it? I got 9800 with my card stock.

i still aint quite in the flow with this wide screen monitor thing.. as far as i know (could be wrong) the card renders at whatever resolution its set at and the monitor interploates this to fit its screen size.. my monitor has 1680 x 1050 pixels.. if i run a resolution lower than this the monitor plays clever tricks and blurs its pixels to match the selected resolution.. this should not affect the 2006 score..

would a smaller monitor do something different..

clue me in someone please..

IDK, I can run the test at 1024X768 and see if my scores are better, because I dont think the test can run 1280X1024 on a 15" monitor running lower than stock testing res.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Well on mine which is 1440x900 it looks blurry at 1280x1024,so im guessing it IS 1280,just stretched to fill the screen.It should'nt affect the score i dont think.

 

[freaksavior]

off topic, but whats the max vcore (safe) for an e4300? i was going to put it at 3.6ghz and 1.6vcore but idk if thats to high or safe. i was just going to do it for the bench.

and if i put my core and mem above 1280 and 840 my monitor goes black....why?

Well, obviously my A64 x2 is bottlenecking my machine. I knew that when I bought it, but it was either spent the dough for a Phenom 9500 (A rip-off at $250, now a good buy at $190) or spend -$10 for this AMD 4000 (100.99 for processor + 2GB Corsair RAM, sold Corsair Ram for $70 and am getting a $40 rebate). Therefore, I decided to wait for the Phenom X3 in March (I have a lovely AMD 790FX mobo waiting for it).

As for this X2 chip, any past 3.125 and this machine don't work. I've had voltage at 1.475 and it didn't help. Even though temps are fine (around 45C load), I'm scared to go past 1.5 on air. My mobo is sure to run at a higher bus speed, would dropping the multiplier and cranking the bus increase my chances?

To answer your question, here is the opening shot of 3D06 on my ladies SIMS(lol SLI) gamer

Note the resolution here. Max of what the 15"HP (HPvs15 is the model#) monitor can do.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Its worth a try,no harm in trying.

Do you have a seperate FSB voltage?

1.6V is safe but just for benching tho, I would not go above that on an Allendale but I used to put 1.6V through my old one.

 

[freaksavior]

ok, i tried it and it won't post! arg! i wanna hit 3.6 to bench....what about the fsb volage? whats safe for that? its at 1.4

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I had my 6300 allendale at 1.57v for benches.It should be fine as long as you keep it cool.

 

[Tatty_Two]

what are your increments? If you have seperate FSB voltage that IS your answer

 

[freaksavior]

i have vcore at 1.625
fsb voltage at 1.45
and nb vcore at 1.45 and it won't post.
fsb 400 x 9 = 3.6

 

[mikek75]

Do you have a seperate FSB voltage?

Not as far as I can see, the voltage options are cpu v, cpu v ref, cpu v damper, cpu pll v, dram v, fsb termination v, northbridge v, northbridge v ref. Anything take your fancy?

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Its the fsb termination,try that,try the nb on 1.55v too if you can.

 

[Tatty_Two]

OK, raise your fsb termination, is it a +100 or 500mv??
