    pfft, why bother, not with today's hardware.

    I'm gonna run it and cry when I see my score. 3d'05 was already a slideshow.


  • Subscribers Posts: 6,408 ✭✭✭conzy


    I am getting 6kb/s in the torrent:mad:

    3D MARK 06 will put my athlon 64 3700 @2.8ghz and my 7800gt to shame:o

    Feckin hell - only WizZards machine will give this a run for its money. To think I was so proud of my 8k in 3DMark05. sniff. :(

    Around the 4000 mark seems to be where its at from reading other forums


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Ri_Nollaig


    will try and pick this up soon
    seems like 2800 is around the mark i should expect with a 3400+ 1gig 6800gt

    from looking on the overclockers.co.uk fourm, its really towards dual-core and sli
    x2 4800+ 2gig 7800GTX x2 can get 7712

    and there was me thinking my new pc i got for christmas was good for games and would last me a year :rolleyes:


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    Ah it will. Mine bloody will - it has no choice!!

    3DMark06 is just pure hardcore - the quad sli rig from dell would probably struggle - it'll be the next gen cards again that this is aimed at. the 8800s or whatever the next series will be called.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,995 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    Everytime stock cards come close to 15k in 3d mark, they release another version. Who cares if you score bad, as long as your games still run.

    I started the torrent at that time earlier, and I've just come home and it's STILL downloading! :eek:
    Bloody hell.

    I get around 13.5k in '05, wonder what '06 will bring!

    u only got 128meg graphics ram so i dont think it will work
    im just dsownloading now, dont really have a rig to test it on though :( will be a few weeks before i get the main rig up and running, komplett only recieved my rma'd expert today :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    Got 6635. I'm actually fairly impressed that I got that. However it does seem that 10k will be easier to break for this 3DMark than the rest.
    The CPU tests are incredibly difficult! I was getting avg 0 FPS in one test! ;)
    Not overclocked much at all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,815 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Evil program.

    The demo routines have gotten worse and less exciting and they've made the program far more restrictive over the years. It's been MTV-ified.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    It is disappointing. The first two tests are just re-hashes of '05, but prettier/more lighting. The CPU tests are limited to 2 FPS max! Not that anyone'll get near that for a short while, IMO.
    The snow test is the only new one that I saw, but that is SM3.0 dependent. Gonna run it on my work machine now (P4 3.0Ghz, 1GB DDR2, ATI X300 :D)
    <edit>Haha 3dmark069qs.th.jpg</edit>


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    I haven't bothered downloading it yet cos despitea 3meg connection it was only running at 46k with all the traffic and I needed sleep.

    SUpposedly this is designed for dual core setups yet until Windows Vista comes out it will still be limited to one core so I'm guessing the FX's will still rule all for the time being until apps are threaded between two cores. Or am I typing ****e?

    Just looked at WizZard's scores on the ORB:
    CPU Tests
    1 - Red Valley 0.348 FPS

    :eek: An FX-57 @ 3.025GHz!

    on a 3.4ghz X2 :eek:
    sweet

    come to think of it thats probably an fx60


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    Link? <edit>D'oh, just searched on FM :)

    Dear God, I'm only 97th in that list! :eek:</edit>


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,630 ✭✭✭gline


    havent got one, just do a search for all cpus etc and it will give u the top one, it is like 10,800 or something

    2 x gtx 512's :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,023 ✭✭✭youcancallmeal


    Ok finally got round to running the test, only 3740 but I reckon I can get a lot more

    3dmark06.jpg
    My specs are
    Asus A8N-SLI Premium
    AMDXP 64 3500+ 2.2Ghz @ stock
    XFX GeForce 7800GT LED Edition @ 500/1150
    2x512mb Geil Ultra-X @ 2-2-2-5, 1T


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    Finally got it installed last night. The first two demos were indeed rehashes of 3DMark 05 but the new lighting did omprove things considerably. Wasn't really that impressed with the HDR in the Forest demo, things like wood shouldnt be so shiney..

    Didnt get further than the CPU test however, she was running at 0-1FPS and it was 5.35am so I decided to call it a night. I'll give it another go later and watch some TV while thats running.

    Was getting around 15 (outside) - 35FPS (inside) in Return To Proxygen and around 10-20 in the Forest...yay! :rolleyes:


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    I was just browsing the scores and threw in my specs to see what I should/might be getting and there's a bunch of scores where the cpu is stated as an X2 but in the titles put in by the user it says "Opteron 1xx @ xxx"

    Does 3d'06 pick up opterons as X2's?

    Here's an Irish mirror for anyone who is having slower download speeds - this one is trucking along at a solid 350k for me on metro:

  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    Okay finally got it and ran a test. She's tough bitch alright. But I'm happy enough. I've beaten many with the same spec and a few with better.

    4448 3DMarks

    I compared it with your score WizZ and it would appear the dual cores seem to have the edge on FX single cores - my CPU score was twice yours - but your SLi GTX's are ****ting all over my poor single GT. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    I ran it on my laptop with a lowly 6800 Ultra.. The GPU was running at stock and the system wasn't rebooted before it..

    Got a lowly score of 2032 3D Marks..

    SM2.0 Score - 725
    HDR/SM3.0 Score - 857
    CPU Score - 964

    Gonna re-run it tomorrow with the GPU overclocked a wee bit :)



    For completeness sakes, here is was the 7800Go GTX is getting:
