My personnal benchmarks.....HIT THE WALL

[JPB]

Ok, I know there is not alot ( if any ) benchmarks with the 8800GTS and Athlon 64 single core cpu's. I am going to run a battery of tests on my system at alot of different settings. I am going to run these tests with alot of different settings and resolutions. My monitor's max resolution is 1440X900. If you would like a particular test run, let me know...and Ill be more than happy to run it at the settings you prefer.

If a game you would like benched is not listed, please state your preference as I have alot of other games that I did not list. I will continuously update the post.

Im hoping this will give a good idea to other people with a cpu similar to mine an idea of how a 8800GTS 640mb card will run their games. Most benches online are extreme resolutions, with dual core cpu's.

EDIT : There are going to be some tests that has a 60fps cap. If there is a way around this, let me know and ill readjust. All tests will be run using FRAPS.

1) What test you would like run?
2) What settings do you prefer ?
3) What resolution do you prefer ?

All tests will be run on :

Athlon 64 3500+ @ 2.2
A8R32-MVP Deluxe
1024 mb Corsair
eVGA 8800GTS @ 500/1600
160gig SATA Western Digital 7200
Gateway 19" Widescreen

I could not find a way to successfully remove the frames cap. So I benched the game anyway.

Duke Nukem?

Oblivion indoor and outdoor with CPU running at 2.6ghz then OC card to 10% core and mem.

Does TRAA work on the 8800 series? I'd like to see some benches with and without it enabled, since most review sites blissfully ignore that feature.

 

[BFG10K]

Does TRAA work on the 8800 series?

It sure does. :thumbsup:

Not exactly what you want but you may find it interesting anyway.

 

[swtethan]

i'd rather you have 2Gb of ram

I run a 3.8ghz P-D 805 soon to have a 8800gts 640

I don't see the setting anywhere for TRAA. Let me know how to enable it.

 

[BFG10K]

Are you using nVidia's control panel or a third party tweaker?

 

[JPB]

Im using ATI TOOL to monitor temps. And im using Ntune.

 

[BFG10K]

Yes but what are you using to change your 3D settings (AF, AA, etc)?

 

[JPB]

Nvidias control panel.

 

[BFG10K]

Click.

I've highlighted the setting for you.

 

[JPB]

Ok, I have the settings now. Thanks BFG10K.

Tomorrow I am going to start the gaming benchmarks. After those are finished, I will start overclocking the video. Im not sure my cpu will overclock much since im using Value Ram.

 

[Bill Brasky]

The 3DMark06 score is lower than I was expecting. I realize it's highly cpu dependent, but still.

 

[john49]

Hey JPB is that all you have to do? run benchies? Me thinks someone spends wayyyyyyyyyy to much time on the computer doing tests when he hasn't finished half the games he has LOL
Come on and play the games thru !!!!!!!!!
And before anyone yells FOUL ! I can give him all the grief i want too, i am JPB Sr.

That 3D Mark score is pretty low, even for a single-core A64 system. With my Opteron 144 @ 2.4GHz, 2GB of RAM, and a stock 8800GTS I got a score of 6209 on Windows XP.

Yes, it does seem low. However, you are overclocked from 1.8 to 2.4 on your cpu. I cannot really overclock my cpu due to memory restrictions.

If you take a look at my score in 3DMark06 from stock to overclock, the cpu score did not even raise one point. I know it really sucks. I need better memory because I know I can overclock this cpu...its being cooled with a Thermalright XP-90.

 

[almach1]

for dual core X2 and a little higher OC check mine out.

Very nice almach1. Yea I can truly see why mine is low. My goal is to acheive 9,000 from my setup. But that will be with a dual core cpu and better memory.

Need to upgrade now. Im going to add a poll.

I can run the video at 10% over. But I highly doubt my cpu will go that far due to memory restrictions.

 

[lavaheadache]

JPB, I wouldn't sweat getting a new CPU yet. I'm sure while playing games your not going to care if you're getting 5000 or 10000 3dmarks. Get playing a few games and see if you're getting good performance with your 3500+, Otherwise you're going to be wasting a lot of money just to get better benchies. I tell you one thing, My girlfriend doesn't care one bit whether or not I have a measly FX-60 or an e6800.

 

[Skott]

I'd go for the Conroe simply because it can overclock higher. But thats just me.

 

[swtethan]

i feared my 3.6ghz p-d 805 was too weak for my 8800gts thats coming, so i bought a e6400 today

Ya know, I was just thinking the same thing. If I upgrade now, once Barcelona and the likes are released, ill have another mid range PC. Hmm....Right now my games run perfectly fine, but a upgrade in monitor is due and maybe power supply also.

Does anyone know when the next line from Intel and Amd are coming ?

 

[swtethan]

if you continue to wait for better stuff, you'll be waiting forever. stuff comes out all the time.
