First to break 4,000,000 points in 3dMark 09

ive an old voodoo 2 card at home! might see if i can get it to run on my intel p2 when i get home.

TerrorFirmer · 23-03-2008 08:22PM

06 won't run on that though, the card has to support sm2, the Voodoo predates that somewhat....

What I'd love to see, is 3dmark actually running on a machine that musters up 39 points. How long did it take to complete?

Pro at underclocking?

TerrorFirmer · 23-03-2008 09:09PM

Right, how long did that take - 2 hours??

conzy · 23-03-2008 09:56PM

40 minutes

The core was underclocked from 250mhz to 50, memory from 300mhz to 100mhz, Forced Vsync and 4AA

I think I can get below 10 if I can clock the card a bit lower, but if it goes much lower it will choke I think

Design_Dude · 23-03-2008 11:39PM

Right lets see who can get 1 point!

Ah, that's cheating - 1280x1024 no AA/V-Sync

:D

the eee refused to run it

it just skipped all tests

TerrorFirmer · 24-03-2008 11:25AM

I can prob run it on a northword 2.4 Celeron and an fx5200 in a week or so...

Conzy what if you reduce it to about 40/90, run with v-sync and aa, but at a really high resolution? And if you have an older processor..

Design_Dude · 24-03-2008 01:35PM

Hi, would your power supply affect the performance much, as im using an old 200watt PSU that i wired the 4pin P4 connector into myself!?

dude, that says there is only 1 other similar system to yours. Any idea what the ACTUAL lowest score is?

conzy · 24-03-2008 05:36PM

I wanna try and get one 3dMark, It will be great!

But I have it attached to a 1440*900 screen so it cant run the default 1280*1024 res

It runs it 1280*720 or something like that...

Ok, I will force the AGP bus to 1X force 16AA and Vsync and zip a huge file in the background

brb!

Lol in a few hours

I got the core clock as low as 13mhz

But the display driver died when I ran 3dmark, I got 0fps average in the AtiTool 3d render though!

14 is the worst I can do I think

If anybody has a friend in intel please ask him to quote a price for QX9770 C1 chip. Doesnt matter if it is ES.

conzy · 26-03-2008 05:30PM

Why?! A QX9770 will get considerably more than 14 points

KamiKazi · 26-03-2008 07:20PM

When I was @ i31 Intel ran a benchmarking contest.

They had a laptop that they were using to keep track of all the scores, they ran 3dmark06 on it for the laugh and it got a score of 1!!

conzy · 26-03-2008 08:22PM

It was fixed! Nobody can get 1

conzy · 29-03-2008 03:03PM

Single 9800GX2 + Quad at 5.3ghz = 28k

Anti · 29-03-2008 07:32PM

jesus !

Makes 30k nearly impossible for us

conzy · 29-03-2008 08:49PM

Flaccus is getting 2....

I would say this makes 30k a lot more achievable....
