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

I kind of cheated. I had my cake and ate it too.

I used 5870's in CF and added a 9800gt which I stole from my 2nd system (and put the 8800gts in it's place). Without the dedicated physX card, it only scores about 25k.

At 4Ghz?

I'm not running at 4Ghz. I'm only on air and haven't felt completely comfortable with that. I've gone as high as 3.8, but I haven't tested it without the physX card yet.

 

[OvrClkr]

Have you stress tested your CPU at 3.8Ghz?

 

[bystander]

3.7Ghz is the limit when stressed, 3.8Ghz was what was needed for P30005

I decided to try my system without the dedicated Nvidia card. I then removed it and got a P26024 result.

I noticed that I still didn't qualify for a legitamate result and found that Cat 9.12 drivers were not eligible. I reverted my drivers back to Cat 9.11 and scored P24296.

The difference in Cat 9.11 and 9.12 drivers is quite large. About 1700 points large. Now I can't wait to see what 10.1 drivers will bring if the last set can make such a large difference.

Got Vantage installed, heh the score seems weak vs. what you guys get....

Actually compared to my score in vantage it's not that bad...but that's because I have a ati card which doesn't have physx...and that matters a lot in vantage...

What is your Vantage score?

 

[OvrClkr]

A bit better this time :

That's a pretty dramatic increase. What was changed between the two?

I know 😉 all i did was overclock the video card to 655/1415/1220 from stock 655/1404/1125

Temps were fine, seems like this GPU has a bit of headroom....

The core clock is maxed out at 655, I know that but it seems like I can push the memory pretty far.... I have not BSOD yet so I guess I will try and see how far I can push the clocks.

Best score using Win 7 64bit :

You need to copy and paste the page 😉 , it says "no score" :

That's because mine is the compared system 😉

OvrClkr, How did you get such a nice boost from 12964 to 18131?
It's like a 5000 point boost! 😱

Oh...and I don't know the exact scores my system gave me...I'm gonna test it again...

The 12964 was actually P12964, which is a 3dmark Vantage score.

The 18131 is 3dmark06.

Sweet 😉 , so that is you score at stock clocks.... Lets see what I get at stock....BRB =)

Yep 😉

Oh...I see...didn't notice that...thanks...

Stock clock Vantage run :

Note: My "previous score" is null since it was running at 3.2Ghz but yet Vantage shows 3.8Ghz. This is due in part that I downclocked my CPU via Turbo V and not the Bios.....

 

[randomizer]

Here's a stock Vantage run: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1520815 (both this and the 06 run have Turbo, so "stock" would be 2.8GHz in reality).

Ahaaa!! I beat you!!! well sorta.... But im using a GTX 260 and you have a 275...and an extra stick of ram 😗

I guess I could downclock to 2.8Ghz and see what happens.......

BTW, it says you are running an "Intel Core i7-975 Processor Extreme Edition" no cheating!!! :lol:

You know I'm too much of a cheap bastard to have one of those

EDIT: You have PhysX enabled. I see what you did there.

hehe 😗

physX is always enabled

Funny how Vantage/06 does not detect the correct CPU when using Win 7 32/64bit.....
