3DMARK Scores!?

Nforce · 08-04-2008 9:59pm

This is the best score that i've achieved so far. PC is running hot so i'll leave it for tonight and try again tomorrow;)
Had the cpu up to 4.4GHZ but it was crashing out of 3Dmark.........maybe i'm at the limit of air cooled overclocking on this rig?

RoyalMarine · 08-04-2008 10:30pm

go quad!

nice score nforce.

Nforce · 08-04-2008 10:35pm

Thanks RMC:)......already had a quad (qx6850) and have a QX9650 for my next rig. I don't think that they'd reach the same clockspeeds that the 8500 has.........not on air anyhow

:)

TerrorFirmer · 08-04-2008 11:06pm

Yeah but they'd whip the e8500 in 3dmark...you'd get about 22k with a quad at just about 3.2ghz....your cpu score is the lowest.

Nforce · 08-04-2008 11:25pm

True TerrorFirmer.........but I was looking to match or surpass the highest 3dmark score using an E8500 and sli'd Ultras:)

PogMoThoin · 08-04-2008 11:33pm

Nforce, your memory is showing in 3DMark as 2544Mb. What slots have you occupied? Are you sure its dual channel?

Nforce · 08-04-2008 11:38pm

I've 4x1GB....not the best for o/clocking:rolleyes:

It's probably because he has 2 ultras and a 32bit os.

that should be showing 3.2gb

Nforce · 09-04-2008 8:06am

no..... 2x768mb cards:)

Sqaull20 · 12-04-2008 4:00am

E2160 @ 3.0ghz

8800gtx @ 620/1010

11.4k

Bit worried about Psu only 450watt ( Corsair 450 vx), should be ok?

Aiming for 13k, cpu will go to 3.42ghz, gtx 650/1080 90% fan speed...

RoyalMarine · 13-04-2008 9:32pm

would have thought that 8800gtx would get a lot more

skuzzb · 13-04-2008 10:04pm

E6300 @ 2.713Ghz (maxed out)

8800gts @ 674/950

10260 in 06

Not too shabby but thats everything at the limit.

Dotsie~tmp · 20-04-2008 10:36am

3Dmark06 Score: 15397

CPU
Intel Core Duo E8400 @ 3.897GHz
Vcore 1.275V (idle)

GPU
1 x Club3D 9800GTX 512MB @830Mhz
Mem 1180MHz, Shader 2089Mhz

Mother Board
Asus P5K

RAM
Twin 2GB OCZ Reaper CL4 @ 5-5-5-18 (for OC)
Yeah I know need 64 bit OS.

Cooler
Thermal Take MaxOrb (at about 20% above min speed)

PSU
OCZ 600W

All for about €780 give or take. I kept my old case and HDD.
Picture attached shows system under torture test 100% load both cores.

Note: Don't bother using "Core Temp" to measure you idle and load temperatures with the E8400 chip (or maybe any other c2d or quad for that matter) It gives bad readings. Its to do with the non linear output of CPU sensors. See below for better program.

@ Dotsie~tmp... nice score

I've tried Real Temp with my E8500 and was getting temperature readings 5 degrees cooler than was showing with core temp:(..... can't trust either of them although i'll stick with the higher reading for overclocking.

Well I agree that you must take "Real Temp" on trust but to be honest isn't it the same for all temp progs? At least Real Temp has some actual testing on E8XXX series chips (see link). I'm more than sure Core Temp's reports of 49C at idle is a mistake. I'm running at Vcores well within "reported" Intel limits and results are matching what I'm reading on the net in general so I'm happy

Nforce · 20-04-2008 10:45pm

My E8500 @ idle......
Real Temp= 32 degrees
Core Temp=39 degrees
Everest = 39 degrees

Thats @ 4.2GHZ with 1.375V (bios 1.4V)

Got to love these Penryns:D

No it's not, it's too low. I get 500+ points more, with Vista, 8800GTS and +100MHz on the proc.
He's doing something wrong

Agreed.

For the fun of it, ran 3d Mark 06 on my laptop (PM 2.26, 6800 go ultra, 2gb ddr2)

3D Marks: 659

That's pretty low...I would have thought a mobile 6800ultra would have pulled at least 1-1.5k...

Yep it should, but I didn't put any effort in, so still had utorrent, Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Hamachi, AVG, Comodo, Skype, mIRC and LastFM running, which meant I averaged a whole 0 fps on the CPU test.

RoyalMarine · 22-04-2008 1:02pm

ran it on my laptop

7,500 or there about's.

Beat you with a Core Duo 1.8GHz, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M 128Mb (~7300LE), 1Gb RAM single channel and my corporate OS (~55 services running)

Great score for a laptop. What do you have, 7950GTX or some sort of Sli setup?

4,000 on my laptop tops

My old laptop with Go7400 got about 800...:o

pedro ferio-vti · 23-04-2008 9:19pm

Argg, crap score for me.... think my processor is holding mine back but the machine's a freebie. Would've really expected more for the spec however considering the scores people are posting but maybe my PSU could be causing it too or maybe the machine's a pos.

I can post a full spec or can anybody offer any suggestions on how to improve it without doing the obvious stuff.

TerrorFirmer · 23-04-2008 9:29pm

Your score is a little low in the graphics scores but the CPU is a major bottleneck, ancient technology....it's holding the card back.

You neglected to mention in your last thread about the card that you're using an old P4....that's why you're not seeing the performance you expected.

pedro ferio-vti · 23-04-2008 9:37pm

Ah crap, gimme one of those Fail certs please

I honestly didn't think it would be *that* much of a bottleneck so didn't think of mentioning it. I know it's not state of the art stuff but argg. Is there anywhere I can check of the CPU can be upgraded on the mobo i'm running or would I most likely have to junk it altogether if I need to upgrade to a Dual Core?

The new GX755s we got in are all dual cores but don't appear to be that much faster for regular desktop applications.
