3dMark03
 

What would be considered a good score on 3DMark03?
I got 8600 but I have no benchmark to compare this too to see if it is good or not.

3.2GHz P4 Prescott
1 GB DDR Memory
Nvidia 6800 128MB Memory
200 GB WD HDD

I've got a 2.6 P4 Northwood, 512 megs of memory, a radeon 9800 pro (128 mb), and a WD raptor 36 gig harddisk. That gives me a score of some 5700.

At work, we've got an Athlon64 3200+, with 1 gigs of memory, a WD 120 gig SATA harddisk, and an Ati X800 pro. That has a score of 9700.

The geforce 6800 should be somewhere between the two, so 8600 is good.

I have an Athlon XP 3200+, Gigabyte GA-7NNXP mobo, 2x256 (1gb) corsair xms memory in dual channel ddr, geforce6800gt, 2HDDs in IDE RAID-0 and scored ~10,000

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ at stock speeds
768 MB of PC2700 crap RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB OC'ed to Ultra

10,085

tryin' to play mister cool! don't let him fool you guys, when he got over 10,000 on 3dmark03 he was running around the room and molesting the print screen key on the keyboard

Lucky bastard, he finally got rid of that ti4200 :D

Ha ha ! I can totally see that of him! Nice work Lasereth!

that's a really high score for your rig! i dont think im gonna OC my GT to Ultra tho...no need!

Hey Las!

Lemme know how the 6800 GT OC works out for ya! I'm totally about to buy one...

Yeah I think it might be what I put on my xmas list.

Hey guys, I just OC'ed it a bit more (way past Ultra now) and got up to 10,220. Let the good times roll! This card is worth it guys. If you've been wondering about the GT's performance...let's just say that it makes my brother's old 9800 Pro look like an outdated chip. Definitely worth $400.

I'd at least OC it to Ultra; mine went to Ultra with basically no temperature increase. If I take it too high then the thermal throttling kicks in. Right now mine is at <B>420/1150 MHz</B>. The GT speeds are 350/1000...Ultra is 400/1100. :)

I've just done a test with the following:

P4 3.0 prescott
512 MB DDR400
WD raptor (36 gig)
Aopen Geforce 6800LE, 128 MB

score was 6900, meaning it's 20% faster than a 9800 pro, while costing the same in our shop.

How did you get that 6800LE ?

How do you know that the throttle is kicking in?

Our company made a deal with Aopen/Ati, making us the first to officially sell them. We're only allowed to put them in new computers, or build them into olde ones as an upgrade, as it's an oem model. (And we have to physically put it in ourselves!)

The score goes down considerably if I turn it up too high. :)

OK, something is damn wrong with this picture:

I have an Athlon 64 3000. With a gig of Mushkin pc3200. With a 6800NU.

And my score was just over 7000. What gives? I should be pushing over 8000 easy :(

The NU has 12 pipelines instead of 16 and a much lower memory clock than the GT and Ultras. 7,000 sounds about right! The onboard RAM is also 128 MB of DDR1 instead of 256 MB of DDR3. I wouldn't be bothered...7,000 is still a huge amount compared to the last generation of videocards.

-Lasereth

Would have to get a new video card, but I could always put 3dMark on the SQL server at work.

4-way Intel Xeon 2Ghz (2mb cache) processors
4gigs PC2700 ram, ECC
hdd's totaling ~500gigs of space in three RAID 1 Arrays
4 gigabit ethernet controllers

could be fun....

Yeah, but its also the same machine that SoccerChamp has, and his score is quite a bit larger... Only thing I can think of is maybe 3DMark like Intel CPUs better, which would be fine...

3d Mark usually scores a small bit better on AMD systems, actually. :( Sometimes the drivers you're using can have a HUGE impact on the results.

-Lasereth

I agree with that call, Las. My system experienced a huge jump in scores due to a different driver set, (and a little OC'ing). We're talking 1000 points.

testing this quick reply out :)

How old is your computer? That score was from the 2nd day after I built it, maybe that has something to do with it.

works pretty damn good. all praise allah.

Just tested it the other day.

It needs to be rebuilt soon anyways. Hopefully that will fix things :(

hahahaha

I just ran it for the hell of it, with a PCI ati rage 8mb card.


None, I mean none, of the test ran.

hahahaha

/waits for the 6800gt to fall in price
