I'm running a 6800 GT and 3400+ and the video is running like crap. The frames in the 10 range. I canceled it before it was totally done because on the 4th test it was stuck on 1 fps : ( it gave me like 3800.
 
I don't care about how it plays my games. I don't even care about the score I just want it to run smoothly so I can enjoy it.

thats cause it is crap.

they could at the very least allow for resolution changes so we can see the damn thing play back as something better then a slideshow. but noooooooo.... futuremark still suxazz.

Crank resolution and AA/AF all the way down and you might have a chance of running it smoothly. Don't bother with the 4th and 5th test, they are CPU tests so it's going to be slooooow (looks like it's rendering everything with the CPU only, no GPU).
 
yea that sucks. i'm dying to see it in all its glory. for some reason, and I don't know why, 1 fps doesn't cut it 😛
 
4th and 5th (on trial) are both cpu benchmarks. Highest my A64 3000+ @ 2.3 got was 3fps I believe...

Remember when 3dmark03 came out, and it ran like junk? It's about scalability.
 
I was getting smooth frames when the gfx card was working... but crap 1-2 fps when prcessor took over.

Really shows you how much processor sucks this one. Don't know how they are EVER going to get 30fps on processor tests
 
My FX-53 939 peaked at 3 fps and went as low as 1 fps during test 4 and 5 too so don't feel bad buddy 🙂
 
There are beta drivers that improve performance on 3DMark05, you can find them here http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10 Just look over a few of the threads to get a good idea of what driver you want. Some drivers are good for benchmarks, others for games... And these are a lot more recent than the official 61.77s. Since Nvidia likes to have one "official" driver that's meant to work with all of their cards, there's gonna be performance losses just so everyone can be accomodated. I dont get why they there aren't drivers specific for each card.
 
Hmm that's around what I got with the same setup. I need to restart my computer/install new drivers but I have a 16 gig torrent thats going at like 14kBps... just 310 hours to go...

I wasn't complaining so much about the cpu test it was the 12 fps in 1-3 making the show look all fugly that pissed me off.
 
Just tried forceware 65.73, works great!! Only got small benchmarking gains (3923 in 3DMark05 and 10738 in '03) but the performance has definitely improved in games such as Far Cry and CS Source.
