So are you able to run the whole test with a shader model 2 card? (Saw the X850 in your sig.)

 

[kamranziadar]

Where did you get 3DMARK06 from, i mean Demo.

Edit: Never mind i got it.

I should be able to get a bit more with another 100mhz on the CPU, I'll have to do a fresh boot later @2.6ghz and see how much it helps. Definitely owns a FX55, the era of competitive single core gaming performance to dual core is not long for this world me thinks.

Looking at your's I may be able to eek another 150 points or so out, not worth the time

Your score is not bad al all
The benchmark is a slideshow, but I guess in a years time will be able to see it fluid with newer graphic cards.

What was your CPU score? I'm very interested in how much HT helped. n/m probably doesn't use it with your CPU.

We now know dual core makes a huge difference, now how about HT? Having fun with this more than any 3DM since '01

I got 479kbps from fileshack's suppossedly 250kbps capped public servers. They must be giving access to the premium due to traffic?

 

[Therk]

95% can't wait =)

Are the improvements to the 05 tests quite substantial?

 

[McArra]

1280x1024 and great lighting improvements

 

[Therk]

2275 with my A64 3200+ and a 6800 GS, ouch! I feel like I'm back on my 9600 xt playing with a nicer version of 3dmark05

It is a good idea to post both 05 & 06 mark for a while so we can get a reference as to where we were from the old mark. Can't wait to run mine tonight, still at work

3371. That kicked the crap out of my rig. Especially the CPU tests. Time for an upgrade.

Sucker! That is just what they are hoping for, that you'll rush out and buy dual core, SLI or xfire, and an SM3 card, if you don't have any/all because of their damned benchmark.

There is statistically less than 1% of all games that can take advantage of dual core or offer any real benefit from having SM3 hardware now right? So why upgrade for some damned benchmark? I remember the nooblets buying DX8 hardware just because they couldn't run all the tests in '01. 3DM is a useful tool, but shouldn't influence a purchasing decision, performance in games you play, and intend to in the near future, along with multimedia capabilities, if that is your bag, should be the deciding factors IMHO.

anyone can benchmark an x800 xl for me? lol,
i cant find the time to do it since im working most of the time
