3d mark 06 scores anyone?

legs11

hi folks

just wondering what scores ye got for 3dmark ? i got 4,800 or somethin. dell xps 7900gs. i have it clocked abit above the norm, i think the 7900gs is under clocked, i got a link to increase the freq with this bios , risky. but up to 20% performance boost. still, quiet handy nuff the way it is

No my fan doesnt run on high a huge amount but dont think it stops comletely. Some games such as Oblivion and FEAR will get the gfx working harder than 3dmark 06 so, if you're worried, try running those gomes for an hour or so and see waht its like. 5291 is a nice score for those clocks. As a matter of interest are you running XP home?

Theres a registry fix for the latest nvidia, drivers, it fixed a problem for me, others have had issues with the latest drivers. check the nvidia forums or pm me with your email, i have the file.

He seemed to get on best with the 91.37, which I haven't tried. I'll give them a shot. Thanks CapaillMor.

I've got x2 4400+, DFI Lanparty UT SLI-DR Expert, 2GB OCZ platinum

The first score I got was around 5200 with everthing at stock.

I upped my fsb to 220 and the 7950 to 540/660 to see what I'd get (not worrying tooo much about stablility for now) ans I got around 6400.

So I'm gonna have to take some time off work and find a nice overclock on all my bits. Won't be able to permanently overclock the 7950 for the moment tho cos it runs too hot.

Does anyone else who has a 7950 think the drivers are pure ****e? I've tried 91.31(WHQL) and 91.33 & 91.45 (beta). I hope a future releases will give decent performance gains.

You should'nt have to OC it. i know 2 with 7950's that got above 7000.

Exactiv had the same problem here.

ok folks

think i got a more respectable one now, 5291 ..

surprised at that, i tried other settings but 3dmark just hooked up, looks solid on this.

turkster, is your fan always active? dont want to fry my lappie.!!

Anti

ah right.

confusion is a terrible thing

What clocks have you got on the 7900GT to get that score AnCapaillMor?

Anti had an X1900 XTx for about 3 days then had to give it back.

As for the 7900, its an EVGA superclocked, it comes defaulted at 580 mhz with running at 1580mhz, its got a bigass heatsink and fan on it, runs on Hl2 EP1 at around 74 degrees. good thing about it is after 3 months and up to a year i can trade it up. highly recomend EVGA.

The 7900GS is a lovely clocker and I could prob tweak settings to get a slightly better score at those clocks but the card is pretty much maxed out at that and and I start getting artifacts if i push it much further.

Cooling is good on xpsm1710 as it has dual pipe cooler for gfx card same as for the 7900GTX. So it can handle the extra heat of upping the voltage and pushing the core clocks so far. Temps are reasonable at that clock no more than 80c during games (eg FEAR, Oblivion) which is not far from temps of 7900GTX and similar to temps of 7950GX2. To be on the safe side i clocked it back to 610 core for everyday use but still get over 5000 in 3dmark 06

Notebookforums have a lot on overclocking 7900GS specifically this thread. You can extract your bios with nibitor and mod it manually or one of the members at notebookforums has created a bios flash cd with various overclocked images.

turkster

thats a very good mark ! dont think i have the guts to bios flash the gs, dont think dell would like it much if it did go up in smoke.....!
i have no idea what the cooling system is like on the xps so dont know how far i can go, by the way where did you get your bios clocking from? site?

Anti

congratulations on that excellent score \/ ^_^\/

turkster

Just been overclocking my Laptop so though I might as well post my scores here.

Dell XPS M1710 2ghz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 120Gb 5400rpm HDD.

Graphics card: Geforce 7900GS 256MB (375mhz core, 500mhz mem default clocks) bios flashed to 650mhz core, 575mhz mem

5117 3dmarks06

thats some 300 marks higher than the way more expensive 512MB 7900GTXgo

I answered! :eek:

aye, for desktops perhaps. but i still got no answers.........06 is more demanding .....

Anti

Anything under 5000 is considered shamefull here

legs11

whats wrong with ye people........maybe my score is higher than some desktops, but i like competition.......:D

oRlyYaRly

280 and proud!

Anti

next time you logon, expect to see sig2big where that ghastly thing is !

And as for your score, its pathetic. be ashamed. And never return to this sub forum again !

K.O.Kiki

It's too big; sigs can only be 300x100 or something.

legs11

why, whats wrong with my sig dude......

wouldn't expect that sig of yours be around much longer
