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

Anti

The chance has to be pretty good to be honest. I doubt it will be for keeps though. More then likely a loan product.

what happens if we kill it ?>

Anti

Then we send this this pic, and their fried product

Anti

Oh yeah, any companys you want me to contact please can you throw up their email address in this thread somewhere?

well theres no point now, i'm sure Flaccus's rig has already broken 22,000, I mean if its somehow better than the one in his sig

I'm not really a 3dmark whore to be honest so have no idea what it would have got. Currently building a new system. Should be done by end of month.

guys looks like ye may have a new member

bought a E8400 few weeks ago of an irish guy on ebay and i was wondering who he was

so i sent him a email talking about overclocking -

and this is what he replyed with

Yo man,I newer thought that are any IRL overclockers :)
U have very good ideas my friend
I got question for U,do u know www.hwbot.org -the biggest word
overclocking ranking???
If yes U can find my profile,so U will know that im overclocker as well
here's link to my profile:
http://hwbot.org/user.do?userId=5683
I'll go to www.boards.ie to waht is going on there,maybe we can meet to
make some session(i have FC/SS cooling as well )
Let me know what U think

Yikes, the top guy there has a 3DMark06 score of 30797!

Still, yer mate aint doin too shabby!

Anti

his highest o6 score is 19k. not to shabby at all

afaik you need a dual skin container. Or your hand will just freeze to it upon touch.

yup, i remember dealing (messing) with this **** when i was in DCU like 5-6 years back.. good times

Freezing all sorts of stuff. But even with the safety gloves on, we could still feel the cold! :eek:

interesting anyway.. hmm..

Surely anyone with enough money can quite easily crack 22k?

I mean if I had the cash I could just order all the bits and beat it?..

Not without serious overclocking, beyond normal methods, like dry ice and liquid nitrogen

papu

well skulltrail 2x3870x2's 2xQx9750's some ddr3 1800mhz and some sdd's in raid oughta do it

challengemaster

tbh you'd want to be using solid state drives for this if using ln2, the stuff evaporates way fast. you'd prolly get 10 mins out of the 20-30L - get everything booted as quick as possible

Guys i have done 26k in 3d06 6 months ago. 22k is not difficult. Our target must be 30k.
We just need 2 3870x2 and ddr3 memories with a x38 or x48 mobo.
My 9650 can do 5,5ghz on cascade for 3d06.

haha! Nice

papu

SnazzY I loike it!

Lol well we could just try anti's gear first ! 790i/3 8800gtx's

If chosen still has his commando i can offer my E8400 they clock like crazy with those boards.

Design_Dude

Woo, just got 97 points in 3dmark06!!!!!!!!!

ZOMG !

Design_Dude

I only play racin games and UT03/04 but i thought i would have got higher than that:(

Anti

did you mean 9700 maybe ? as 97 is .... i thought you were taking the piss like ?!?

challengemaster

lol :pac:

Design_Dude

maybe ive it on the wrong settings, what should i be getting for a P4 2.4ghz, 1.25gb ram, 256mb FX5500 graphics, etc? Im in the process of of upgrading to e better machine at the mo:)

conzy

97?! you should be getting atleast 107 with that rig!

papu

97?

That does sound wrong, even the GMA900/950 can pull a muscular 200-ish.

Design_Dude

Ill give it another shot

Design_Dude

Got 124 this time, really doing well now:)

PogMoThoin

U submit those results, wonder have you the lowest submitted

conzy

ahahahaha

This makes me want to run 3dMark on every **** PC I can get my hands on!

omg i propose a competition! Lets see who can get the lowest 3dMark score!

papu

lol thats easy , dont install drivers for the gpu and install vista on a 256mb pc with an old pII XD

conzy

Nope, its a fine art, You have to get a machine that will actually run it.... Just run it terribly

Im gonna start with a 2.4ghz P4 512mb ram FX5200 and run 3dMark from a USB stick, then work my way down.... I predict 350 points

papu

a 2500+ and a fx5200

not mine but lol that sucks


the slowest card you can run it with is the fx5200
so it has to be Dx9 anyway

conzy

Papu thats an awesome score!

But this is gonna be tough to beat



39!!

THIRTY NINE WTF

Anti

gonna run it on a asua eee now. I predict under 30 points

conzy

I think you will win, i'm going to underclock the FX5200 as far as it will go and run a defrag in the background!

*edit* it seems it has the default windows driver for a FX5200 so I can't underclock it

Anti wrote: »

Nah you won't 'top' 39 by Conzy, the GMA900 is far better then the Fx5200 in 3dmark!

Is the 9200 dx9 or dx8....I have an old 9200le here. about 20% slower then an fx5200.

edit: damn, dx8. Now, if someone could get the 64-bit, 64mb PCI version of the fx5200...:D

RoyalMarine

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

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?

conzy

Pro at underclocking?

TerrorFirmer

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

conzy

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

Right lets see who can get 1 point!

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

Anti

the eee refused to run it it just skipped all tests

TerrorFirmer

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

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!?
