So here's what you need to do:

Multiply:

(core clock speed) x (number of pipelines) x (memory clock speed - not doubled) = SickBeast Marks©

Forget 300mb downloads and trial reminders! Math is good!

If I feel like it, I'll program a macro to calculate your SickBeast Marks© automatically.

I take no repsonsibility for your results. YMMV.

Oh and for the record, my system predicts that the 7900GTX will be 88% the speed of the X1900XT. :)

Did you overclock?

From my other thread:

So if you take the standard GTX at 430mhz x 24 pipelines x 600mhz RAM, you get "6.19 Million SickBeast Marks©".

If you take the GTX 512MB at 550mhz x 24 pipelines x 850mhz RAM, you get "11.22 Million SickBeast Marks".

If you take the "new" 7900GTX at 700mhz x 32 pipelines x 850mhz RAM, you get "19.04 Million SickBeast Marks©".

Now, quickly compared with the ATI cards:

For the X1800XT, at 625mhz x 16 pipelines x 750mhz memory, you get "7.5 Million SickBeast Marks©".

For the X1900XT at 625mhz x 48 pipelines x 725mhz memory, you get "21.75 Million SickBeast Marks©".

I've gotta figure it out first. :)

I know how to do it in AutoCAD, but the internet is another story.

Can't be too hard tho. :)

Depends if it's SLI or CrossFire. I will have to work on it. That will be a new feature in SickBeast Mark '06 Beta 1. :)

lol :) who knows :) maybe you will get approached by ATI , Intel , AMD and Nvidia , offering you the latest gear so you can tune/teak your sickbeat program :)

Yeah but my system is immune to driver optimizations.

The best they could do is pay me to overclock one to gain the ultimate SickBeast Mark© score. :beer:

Hey, I like the idea. Another way to show e-penis stature. I'm not flaming, I think people will eat this up like no tomorrow. I do have a suggestion though. Maybe instead of saying "11.22 million Sibeast Marks" you could drop the million part and just use it like so: "11.22 SickBeast Marks".

Anyways, hope it works out for you:)

According to the Sickbeast method, I get 4320000 Sickbeastmarks :p

If this ever catches on in any seriousness, I'm going to go and get very scared.

Unfortunately, theoretical maximums of video cards are never even close to being approached, so this will not work. But it still has more credibility than 3dmark. You also forgot about vertex processors. They make quite a difference.

The difference between 4 and 6 is the reason why a 128 bit x700 pro can beat a 256 bit 9800 pro.

Also not included - memory bus widths. A 256-bit 800mhz memory chip is the same speed as a 3.2ghz 64-bit chip. Also, ROPs, ALUs, etc. are not taken into consideration (umbrella term of "pipeline"?)

There are too many factors to create such a general formula to measure total performance - once you are able to factor everything in you may as well have written a 3D benchmark program.
