    Yes! Now I'll get even a lower score! 504 isn't low enough.

    Well, from what I have seen, everytime they come out with a new one, it cuts your scores in half. So I will only get about 2250 :(

    Wow....I didn't think it would go that low. When I get home tonight I will have to try it. I think I will get a little higher than that with my OC. I only got like 2600 when I first got my I9300 with Dell drivers and no OC. When I went to the Extreme G and OC'ed (in my sig) I got 4573. I will try it when I get home and post the results.

    Don't always assume that it's going to cut your score in half. . . it is variable.

    I'm very excited to try it out. :D

    We'll have to start a new thread "Post your 3DMark06 scores".

    I can't wait.

    HDR rendering is going to hit some cards pretty hard . . anything under an X700/Go6600 is going to have a hard time.

    I thinkyou will rank pretty high on the charts USAFdude - the Go6800 rocks.

    Well I was going to try and break 5000 on 3dMark05...but that would do me any good. These settings are stable, but I do get up to 72-74C GPU when gaming for a while. I will just get a laptop cooler.

    What is the point in having an arround3 fps benchmark? I mean, I know that it will push hardware to their maximum but that won't be possible to see in full motion in the next few years. Half Life 2 looks as cool as Return To Proxycon or so on and it doesn't need that much hardware

    This program exludes any card under 256 MB. So I'm out, no big deal.
