Explain this

OK, I know a bunch of you are gonna cry BS, but I've got :camera:!
My machine is a xp-m@2.5 + 9800p-->xt@450/365. My brother's is a A64 3200 + 6600gt, everything @stock. We both have 1gig of RAM. I ran 3dmark05 on both, using the default IQ settings for everything. Look at the screenshots below

9800p OC

6600gt

I know my score of 2900 is close to what I was expecting to get, but how come his score is lower? I saw a bunch of you peeps posting scores like 3800 using a 6600gt, how come his only gets 2700? Are you lowering your IQ settings, or is there something wrong with this 6600gt?

I'm not going to cry BS, you might be a little faster at a synthetic bench. His card is faster for gaming though.

that's OC'd a lot. My card can only hit 470/405, which is actually good for a 9800 pro, but I still think a 6600GT would be faster in real gaming. Still pretty funny to see. Nice comparison lol....made me laugh a bit.

that's not right. my 6600 (non-gt) gets 3200 when oc'ed to about gt's core speed but still less memory speed.
so, a real 6600gt should get at least 3600.

And you're using default IQ settings in the driver, right?

Hell my 6600 GT overclocks to freakish speeds and gets 4488 3Dmark05. Click the link in my sig if you think im tellin a fib.

because all ATI cards beat Nvidia cards in 3dMark 2005 unless you have SLI

If you believe that I've got a really nice bridge to sell you.

Copy your score with my (nearly) exactly same setup :thumbsup:

Did he install motherboard chipset drivers? Did he have a ATI card previously and upgrade to the 6600 GT w/o doing a clean reinstall of drivers? Lots of factors involved in how he got a sub-par score.
