Love my 6800 GT

[bjc112]

I know this is just another thread on the GT but here goes...

Grabbed the PNY 6800 GT now running 375/1100 ( haven't went higher )

Everything is running great..

Pulling down about 11k in 3dmark 03..

1600x1200 4x AA is running Far cry awesome..

However, i know 3dmark is just a benchmark and not relative to real world performance but, i only scored 18k in 2k1..

@ 1024x768 are you more CPU limited than anything else?

I thought i would be at least in low 20's..



What's everyone here coming up with..




Seems like several people are scoring low in 2k1.. I KNOW I KNOW ( it's outdated )




For the scrolling impaired

I am running 1600x1200 ULTRA settings.. NEVER expected the performance that i am getting out of this card.

Gorgeous game, running extremely well.

No slowdown. PERIOD. ( except after a saved game ) about 2 second churp..

Heavy actions flows extremely well too..

I know what HardOCP said, but it runs extremely, extremely well.



Ultra settings definitely are a reality...

To clarify an issue we've noticed across the board, Ultra Quality runs perfectly fine on current generation high end hardware. Yes, the game recommends >500 MB of nice fast graphics RAM, as do we if one's intention is to play through the single player game. But, it is very important to note that all the multiplayer maps we've played on in the past few hours have been small enough to avoid the massive swapping that occurs when moving between parts of the world on the single player map.

From anand's D3 article..

Nice, what'd you pay? And yes I gather that slower cpus can be the bottleneck with the GTs. Also (sorry if stating the obvious) make sure you use driver cleaner before a fresh install of the newest drivers, and make sure you have your mb chipset drivers installed.

sounds pretty low for 2k1 I score 23434 and 12812 for 03 with the GT's clocks at 425/1113.

Either way a score of more than 17000 should mean you can play any dx8 game you want with high res and AA and AF on. The one reason I think these newer cards aren't scoreing as high as you would think is maybe because the GPU's are more geared toward the newer technologies not used in 2k1. Like SM 2 and 3 which I think only 1.1 or 1.4 is used in that. Don't worry about the 2k1 score it barely has anything to do wit the video card IMO. My scores rise with CPU overclocks much more than video OCs. That could be that the CPU is holding the GPU back but I doubt that much with the standards used in 01 again.

But you obviously overclock your system to the extreme, so why would you be surprised that his score is lower ? Anyway, that guy didn't even say what exactly his system is, does anybody or that guy know ? Pretty useless to give a score without specifying the complete system, as if the score only depends on video card.

I get 22250 in 3dmark2001, and 12000 in 3dmark2003, 60000 in aquamark and my system is A64 3200+ @2.1GHz, 1GB PC3200 @420MHz, PNY 6800 GT @400/1100, and MSI K8T Neo mobo.

That's about what I get too..

Well, i am absolutely in shock.

Doom 3 runs like a champ, and looks absolutely AMAZING.

Running 1600X1200
Ultra Settings..

Can honestly say that in a high action scene it is still smooth and fluid as can be.. Lovely :beer:

Considering I was benchmarking this card all day yesterday, i actually had on 2x AA and 4x AF and it was running awesome then too.. I am extremely impressed with this card at the moment.

nVidia getting a thumbs up this time around.



6800 GT gets a :thumbsup: from me.

Are you playing in the Ultra Settings?

 

[JBT]

Well it might be possible that its because my system is OCed far. But so is his. When I OC the GPU is barely makes any difference in 2K1. Thats all I was saying. When I run stock it still gets 22200. I will grab my links from 3dmarks in a sec. I don't have my 12812 (only 12665) score though as I have a hacked copy of 3dmark03 pro and it won't let me post scores any more I also can't figgure out how to get back to the regular version. Even uninstalling and killing the reg keys that I find does nothing oh well.

3Dmark03 12665 I think clocks were 410/113 when I did this.

3Dmark01 23434clocks were 425/1140

I'm telling you this card is AWESOME! I only have a mobile Athlon XP 2600+ @ 2.2GHz with 1GB of PC3200 memory and DOOM3 runs GREAT! I'm only running it at 1024x768 4X AA 8X AF, but DOOM3 looks AWESOME with these settings!

I can't agree more Jack... Very happy with this card..

Crank it up past 1024, it will run like a champ at any res. from what i've been seeing.

I :heart: mine too, and haven't even picked D3 up yet

I second that.

Have fun with that card. It beats the crap out of everything else anyway so don't worry about a low 3dmark. I thought it would be a long time before I wanted something other than my 9800 pro modded to xt but i'm jealous
