New Rig

[eastley]

Down below in my signature is my new rig and score. These are done with everything at Stock speeds. I know I can get higher with different drivers, with 53.03's I can get about 17500 in 3dmark01.

Have fun

So are those benchmarks about right with everything at stock speeds?

 

[Sonic587]

Yep, great scores for stock. OC a bit and you should be able to break 19-20K

very nice scores, like Sonic587 said, try to OC it a bit and you should be able to increase about 3 thousand or so

well I was playing Far Cry with everything up full and I was getting between 30-50 frames per second which i was satisfied with cause thats what i was getting on my old Rig. And according to my Mb temps im running at 80 degree's so I wont be over clocking.

looks about right

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ @ STOCK SPEEDS
MSI K8T NEO-FIS2R
2x512 MB PC3200 DDR RAM
MSI 5900XT-VTD128

3DMARK03 SCORE: 5268
3DMARK01 SCORE: 16237

A64 3200+ gives you a little boost over P4. I was curious, so I underclocked my 5900 NU to XT specs (400/700) and got a 3DMark03 score of 5102, and that's with a stock P4 3.4C (see sig for full rig specs). With stock settings on the 5900 NU (400/850) I get a 5471 in 3DMark03.

Edit: After upgrading to ForceWare 61.71, I get a 5748 in 3DMark03 on my with my stock 5900NU. ...Not bad...

That looks good, but remember, don't rely on benchmarks alone, get into your favorite game, relax, break out a can of coke, and see the kind of FPS you get in-game. That's the best way to see how your rig performs

Certainly, but benchmarks are a good way to wind down a bit after maybe having one too many

Like I said in a earlier post

well I was playing Far Cry with everything up full and I was getting between 30-50 frames per second which i was satisfied with cause thats what i was getting on my old Rig, at a lot lower detail And according to my Mb temps im running at 80 degree's so I wont be over clocking

I added a bit to that, that 30-50 frames at 1280x1024 with full AA and AF and everything up max.
