Amazing 3DMark06 Score!

[videl]

Actually, in 06 (I'm not as sure about Vantage), the CPU has a massive effect on overall score. Here's an example:

My setup, stock clocks on everything (3.33GHz i7 (3.33 because of Turbo, 3.2 rated), Sapphire 4870x2 CFX @ 750/900):

My setup, stock clocked GPUs, CPU OC @ 4.2GHz:

WOW...I guess you're right...but maybe that's because you're running on an i7...I haven't really tried running graphics on stock and OCing my CPU...I will though...Thanks for your scores...

videl, what are running for voltage and what temps are you seeing?

Very nice scores and rig. As for the scores on the 4890 i'm pretty sure it's just a bottleneck issue on the CPU side as the higher i go with the CPU the better the GPU score. But that's a given as the idea of overclocking your CPU. But i'm seeing higher scores with the 4890 on other CPU's and system benchmarks. I can not push my CPU any higher and unlocking the other two cores has not been a success on my system as i need to lower the multiplier below the stock setting to get them to unlock. And then i can't even reach the stock speed of the CPU as it was with the other two cores locked. So no go there. I guess i'm stuck at this point. I'll start working on the other two rigs and see where they go.

I see...maybe it was an unlucky setup...maybe a bad chip...
But I'm happy that my unlock works on stock speed and even solid at 3.4...
I guess I got lucky.

And thanks for all your input guys, for staying with me through the whole time...If anyone else has scores post them up, I'm still comparing...and interested what people get on different setups...thanks

My voltages are on stock...I tried to give a boost in voltage to get 3.6 stable, but it seems no matter what I add it still crashes 🙁
I tried adding .025 then .050, but it seems as though it doesn't help...
My temps at stock unlocked cores are 38-45 Celsius on stock cooler...
Another thing, It seems as though AMD Cool n' Quiet doesn't work in XP when the cores are unlocked. But it does in Windows 7...Maybe it's XP's fault...I haven't looked to see if Cool n' Quiet works on not unlocked cores in XP though...Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks...

WTF 4ryan6.... You banned my account for posting a cracked cd-key.....wow after i helped about 100 people with there problems i get banned???

what is that??

You're actually admitting you posted a cracked key code, and you're wondering why you got banned.

You broke the Forum Rules, thats why you got banned, and I'm leaving this here as an example to others, read the Forum Rules because you agreed to those rules to get the privilege to post on these forums.

Stay within the rules its just that simple.

Hey guys, check this out...

Does it turn out this whole thread was useless? or do you think the scores should still be close enough to each other as long as the graphics cards are in the high performance ranges? what do you guys think about this? Thanks...

 

[videl]

Still, Does anyone have a 3DMark06 score for a phenom II X4 955 @ stock speed? I would really appreciate it and thanks...

videl I apologize for taking this action its no fault of yours, Please start yourself another thread, I'm closing this one. 4ryan6
