7900 GT SLI benchmarks

[5150Joker]

The CPU is reportedly at 1800 mhz with the cards at default clock: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1312128&postcount=29


3dmark05: 8580
3dmark06: 4635
3dmark03: 24342

Not very impressive,but wouldn't a 3g venice at 1800mhz be a bit inadequate for sli?

Has anyone benched 78 gtx's(sli) with the same cpu to compare?

I don't know what to think,but from this view,it is far from spectacular.need to see them benched with an FX-60 to get a better picture.

1800mhz A64?


thats whats holding it back....i get 11000 with my 7800GTs with a 2.5Ghz A64, i used to get about 9000-9500 with my 3200 at stock (2000mhz)

05 seems to get very cpu limited at scores in that area. ill wait for some one with a proper cpu to bench

 

[Crescent13]

Yeah the cpu BETTER be holding it back. My 7800GT gets 8200 in 3dmark05, and 4200 in 3dmark06 with my Opteron 144 @ 2.8GHz.. If the CPU isn't holding it back, then nvidia has made a huge mistake somewhere.

Def. CPU limitation here considering the 7900GT (450mhz, 24 pipes) is at least as powerful as a 7800GTX . . .

Hmm, strange results. My recent testing with a 7800 GT yielded : 8427 (3DMark05) / 4587 (3DMark06)

This is with a configuration of :

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 2507 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT (x1) 540 MHz / 1154 MHz

So I imagine with a faster CPU, dual core optimized driver, and OVERCLOCKED, it could easily crack the 9K / 5K marks in these tests! All this for a price of $299 (est.) and a smaller length PCB (for HTPC enthusiasts like myself)....I'm sold!

Damnit who keeps telling people that the 7900GT is a 24 pipe card?

 

[Zenoth]

Eeewww ...

My single X1800 XL scores around 7600 in 3DMark05.

Dual 7900 GT not even at 9000 ?

Man ...

 

[peleejosh]

The 3dmark05 and 3dmark06 score is only using 1 7900gt

It's not for $299, make that $600. The score is for TWO 7900 GTs, not one.

No actually it's not, it's using two.

 

[pibrahim]

I know SLI is highlighted in the screenshot but I just don't see HOW it can be used.

In 3DMark05, with one 7800GT, I got a score of 7,000 with an Athlon 3500+, and 10,800 with two GTs. Sure, the test right used there is only 3,000+, but I fail to see how that CPU difference could mean a drop of over 2,000 points.

 

[KeithTalent]

If you actually go to their forums their is a post by the OP:

yes 2005 and 2006 scores are not of ' 7900GT SLI( think drivers issue) , only 3dmark 2003 score its of 7900Gt SLI

Xtremesystems

 

[peleejosh]

The OP at xtremesystems said that the 05 and 06 score is using one, because of driver issue. THere is no way in hell the 7900gt is going to score less than the 7800gt in 05 or 06. Think about it people.

Then it's a bullshit review. SLI'd 7800GTs get higher than that in 05. A single GTX can hit that score with a very mild OC. Yet the screens do show a score of 84XX and SLI enabled. Which means that something is very wrong.

Looks like it's scores for 1 GT! Which again is a good value IMHO.

What is it really? Or am I just missing an inside joke?

 

[imported_Finny]

Yeah, that can't possibly be right. Either they aren't actually in SLI, or they are, and that CPU is holding it back horribly. I'll hold with the latter.

 

[Cheesetogo]

Its got to be 7800gts. When I first got my 7800gts I scored around that. When I upped my proccessor from 1.8 to 2.4 I got around 11,000.

To further extrapolate some theoretical benchmarks (ftw)...I dug up this info from my ORB site (Note this is the same system above but with different CPU/GPU settings):

3DMark06 Score: 3646
.
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 1811 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT (x1) 438 MHz / 1002 MHz

Extrapolating this to the 7900GT scores on their 1800 MHz Venice, I would say 5500 scores are definitely plausible if the 450/1200 Core/Mem clocks hold true.

 

[CP5670]

8580 sounds very low. I got 9900 with my 7800GTs even before I overclocked anything. It's more like what I would expect from a single card.

 

[Bull Dog]

If you look at the 3dmark06 SM2.0 & SM3.0 scores those should give you a fairly good idea of performance (they aren't terribly CPU limited like 3dmark03 @ 3dmark05 are).

7900GT SLI vs my X1900XT(@XTX)

2425 vs 2422
2770 vs 2740

so ya, it barely edges out my XT@XTX speeds but this explains pretty well why nVidia is offering these cards as such low prices.

Read the whole thread, it is 1 single 7900GT vs. your X1900XT:


"the scores were this:

7900GT SLI -- 3dmark 2003 >>>23340 all default @CPU 1800Mhz /VGA default


7900GT --3dmark 2005 >>> 8580 (only get single 7900 score maybe drivers issue) all default @CPU a 1800Mhz //VGA default


7900GT --3dmark 2006 >> 4635 (only get single 7900 score maybe drivers issue) all default @CPU a 1800MHZ //VGA default"

 

[nitromullet]

Why is it that these people can get hold of two unreleased video cards but nothing better than a budget cpu?

:laugh:

I'm going to get a little bit nasty here becuase I happen to be in a BAD mood.

It's SLI scores

GEEEZE, Next time why don't YOU TAKE A CLOSER LOOK at the PICTURE!

</flame>

Now let me opologise for having offended you. Just next time, please don't go around posting FUD like that. That sorta gets my Irish up.

Edit: For the record, I expect the 7900GT's to have a little better performance than they do in the SM2.0 @ SM3.0 scores in 3dmark06 once they are benched on a decent rig.
