That's pretty sweet, especially considering you have only 4 pipes on that card.

My R9700PRO scores 6,400 overclocked, just for reference.

passive gooling is where teh ghosts ans tuff jsut stand there making scary sounds instead of actually attacking you. I'm so glad I can't spell. It means I get ssay stupid stuff like this.

no, he is not the god of sarcasm :p

i have no benchmark goals as i cannot play them; tweaking a benchmark has very little relation to actual gameplay . . . anyway, my Radeon 8500-128 was pretty lost in 3dMark03 . . .

. . . i bumped my score up another way . . . i r&r'd the 8500 with a 9800xt last week. . .

;)

:D

i guess my "new" 3dMark03 "goal" would be 7,000. (i'm ~6600)
(then i gotta mod the vga fan) :p

:roll:

I had bought a 9800pro but it was doa so I had to rma it to newegg, i was ordering a x800xt rom gateway but my date got pushed all the way back to teh 7/20 so I am canelling that order. I am in the market for a new next gen card. I guess that since the x800xt's are being pused out so far I may end up getting the 6800gt I had orgonally planned upon.

And the system is good enough for now. I am going to upgrade to a s939 with PCIe around my birthday in november.

What do you guys use, I have never like fraps, I have ut2k4 but it isn't installed right now. I have the quake3 demo installed and I have x2 the threat. I am gona play with it's built in benchmark tonight.

X2:1280x960 w: 4 and 4: average 19.6fps
X2:1280x960 w: 2 and 2: average 36.5fps

I usually play it at the 4 an 4 and it doesn't really visibly stutter ever.
