3DMark06 Scores...Amazing...Part 2

[OvrClkr]

Please post your best 06score here. Trying to see what setups work the best.

Here is my best at 3.6Ghz :

3.85Ghz :

Ryan closed videl's thread so i decided to re-open 😉


Much appreciated

Go into CCC - under Graphics go to 3d - go to the all tab and change all of the sliders to the performance options (usually far left !) instead of quality (this is done to get the best result under the benchmark since you are trying to get the best performance. -- After benching go in and change the settings back to your actual preferences.

 

[OvrClkr]

Just open your Catalyst Center and adjust your AA and AF to performance, normally the default is set to "quality". Then adjust your "force v-sync to "performance" and you are set.

hehe, looks like JD beat me to it!

Yup definitely a CPU bottleneck. But don't take it to heart, it's benching at 1280x1024. You'd probably get the same score at 2560x1600 with aa.

I have the opposite problem, GPU is the bottleneck, even at low resolutions. I need a new one, lol.

new low with new 10.6 drivers

Well, in the process of trying to OC my CF cards, I found my original 4870 is having some severe issues, and has been sent in for RMA, as stock clocks aren't even stable anymore. Also in this process, I found that the 4870 I got a few months back is a real stunner, hah. Personal record for a single 4870:

I ran it a few times with both 4870s at stock clocks, but didn't bother with any SS since I was moving towards OCing the cards, a venture that has been postponed for now, hah. The best I got with CF @ stock speeds was about 23k with my CPU at 4.060ghz.

I'll probably give the replacment 4870 a try at an OC'd run or two before i hock it, hah.

I was really hoping for 30K with Crossfire HD5850's @ 950/1200 and a Core i7 920 @ 4.4Ghz but sadly it didn't happed... Adding a second card only gave me 2K more points... CPU bottlenecked much?

Maybe I'll get the guts one day to put more than 1.44V through my CPU.

 

[OvrClkr]

my record in 06 with a single GTX 260 overvolted/overclocked is around 18k @ 3.8Ghz and around 19.2k @ 4Ghz but since my room temp is pretty high I can no longer bench @ 4Ghz =(

here is an old shot @ 3.8Ghz mild GPU overclock (stock voltage)

crank up those 5850's to 1Ghz core and you will surely get over 30k 😀

 

[Rustyy117]

Its do-able, I'd rather wait until I get the second 5850 under water which wont be until the end of the month, or I could just use 100% fan speed 😀

Might do a suicide run with my Core i7 1.5V 😀

I'm sure it'll be fine for 10mins of benching.....right?

 

[OvrClkr]

1.5v is high, what temps are you getting with 1.44v?

 

[Rustyy117]

Low 60's during 3dmark06 with 1.44V 4.4Ghz.

Havent tried OCCT :/

whats are your current ambient temps?

 

[cncmasterw]

damn i missssed a lot lol/

 

[Rustyy117]

whats are your current ambient temps?

20-21C

Would love to know my water temps, that way I'd be able to figure out my air - water delta and determine whether or not I need more rad.

 

[Rustyy117]

I'll go for a 4.5-4.6Ghz, 1000/1200 run later after work

 

[Rustyy117]

4520Mhz + 1.47500V = Fail. :/

Need LN2!

😀

Nah, I'm done with 3DMark06

 

[OvrClkr]

save that run for Winter =)

you should be able to get 4.6Ghz easy with some very low ambient temps..

Lol its Summer in the UK, but that doesn't mean its warm ambients :lol: Was raining today...

Maybe I'm just not 1337 enough

Or maybe I've reached the limits of my mobo or CPU.

Well, the 260 is a slightly stronger card than a 4870, especially in 3dmark06, so it looks like I am right in line.

I thought 06 was equal when it came to both AMD and NV, Vantage on the other hand is not unless the NV bench was done with PPU disabled.

 

[cncmasterw]

Is it worth it for a AMD 6 core with a 5850? Thinking about getting my Upgrade.. Just Bumped up my monitor.

 

[OvrClkr]

for games no, for encoding/rendering yes.

My 3DMarks Scores, didn't bother to post the whole browser, so i just pasted the score box..

i7 860 @3.6Ghz
ATI Raedon 5870
4Gb G-Skill RAM

 

[JofaMang]

Yay. got a brand new 4870 512mb back from sapphire a few days ago, and my CF is now running how I originally expected it to. Only had time for a few benches today, but got some decent numbers:

CPU @ 3.85ghz
NB @ 2500
4870s @ stock 750/900

3dmark06: 22,062
3Dmark vantage: 16102

Gonna tweak it in what little spare time I have this weekend and see what I can force out of her with the CPU at 4.0 and the cards OC'd.

 

[cncmasterw]

did this Section die? lol
