3dMark06 Scores

Just got my Precision M90 yesterday. Here are the scores with no updated drivers, overclocking or anything. I'm hoping to upgrade to 2 gigs of ram sometime in the next month or so.

 

My Acer 8204WLMi managed a 1987 Not the best score but not bad either

 

1015, @ 370/385 clocks 256mb x700

 

Yay!! x700 broke 1000!!!

 

Very nice, cheers to that.

Twilight, we need to break 1k.

 

aww.man! cant the go 6600 beat 1000?

 

lol, I'm already on it! I'm not letting a sager get beaten by a toshiba (No offence cbrviper, just playing around)

Easily. It has shader model 3 and can complete the entire benchmark.

 

It has been done! Clocks are 440/800

 

Does anyone have the scores for x1400/7400go?

 

Nvidia GeForce Go7400 256MB (128MB dedicated)
Intel Core Duo T2600 2.16GHz
1GB DDR2-533

 

90% of that score is from the CPU I see... The Core Duo is very powerfull indeed. It is not worth that Go7400. You can clearly see that the GPU is the bottleneck.

Thanx Chaz!

Thats very interesting indeed because the Asus Lamborghini with Go7400 VX gets 1400+ 3DMarks'06. Its on the cnet review... I was shocked that the VX version can score that high which even beats my x700. I wonder in real world performance would it mean the 7400go VX will be faster than the x700. If it is then I could have a new car in the future

I don't know how they got that high of a score with a Go7400. It is probably a typo.

I finally broke 1k with the X700 256MB:

Clocks are 410:400 (800MHz DDR).

 

I definitely don't think its a typo. I know the VX version is clocked much higher than standard Go7400. Its like a special edition of the Go7400. I read a few articles about it but its difficult to find again.

Quote from CNET:

"Where the Lamborghini trails slightly is in its graphics performance. It clocked up a 3DMark 2006 score of 1,403, which again is lower than the Travelmate's score of 1,999. In real terms this equates to 48 frames per second in Doom 3 versus the Acer's 56.6fps, both at a resolution of 1,024x768 pixels.

The Acer has an x1600. I don't think they made two typo errors because 48FPS compared to the 56.6FPS (x1600) also sounds about right in relation to the 3DMark scores.

 

Why in the world would they clock a videocard higher instead of putting a better videocard in it... I just dont get it.

I think the x1600/Go7600 was too hot for the 1inch thin chasis. Its' probably a bit cheaper too I guess...

The v6 chasis is very thin. The specs says 1.2inch but this includes the feets which some manafacturers don't include. Only a small portion where the battery is located I would say its 1.1inch.

 

Still, even overclocked, I don't know how it doubled the score of mine. It must be a special version, perhaps with a 128-bit memory bus.

 

Yeah that could well be it. The VX model was specifically bought by Asus from nVidia so quite a few things could be changed from the original 7400.

 

The 7400 scored that low? Is that a fluke or is it really that bad? I guess i'll really have to do some overclocking.

 

Congratulations, chaz! Welcome to the 1k club!

 

Nice going Chaz

 

I definitely need to do some overclocking so I can break the 4k barrier. Nice going on the x700s guys!

 

so theres 3 of us with x700's over 1k now

i got 1028 on my latest run, with 390/390 clocks

but its clear the pushing the core higher dosent help, i might play around with the memory settings a bit later, i want the x700 crown lol

 

the x1300's 3dmarks, id love to see the x1400's just to see what the gap is

(standard clocks and cat 6.6)

 

lol, I feel bad about my scores

 

Anyone have the 3dmark06 score for the raden x1600 & the nvidia geforce go 7600 on a 2.0 or 2.1 intel core duo processer?

I want to compare the two

 

I noticed people are getting scores for different resolutions. If your screen doesn't support the default 1280x1024 it runs the test at a lower resolution makes it impossible to compare like for like video card. I got a very low ~640 3dMarks for my x700 at 1280x1024. Please let us know the resolution too.

 

Just ran '06 & '05 on my week old 2.0 GHz XPS m1210 with the GeForce 7400 & got the following numbers (o/c'd via PowerStrip)

3DMark06: 847
3DMark05: 2197

PowerStrip is the only program I know to overclock the GPU, but are there any others that anybody can reccommend? For that matter, are there any better drivers than the ones Dell offers?

Thanks!

does seem like a bit of an error on futuremarks end. surely the tests should be run at a resolution any monitor is capable of.

 

The default resolution for 3DMark06 is 1280x1024 (SXGA). If your monitor does not support that, it will run at the next closest thing.

 

3dmark06-2260 on system listed below.

 

How much did you overclocked your 7900gs? My score is much lower:

3dmark06 score: 4350 points.

Specs:
T2400 Dual Core 1.83Ghz
2 gig ddr2 667mhz ram
80gig 5400rpm sata drive
go 7900GTX Stock (500/600)

 

Highest I've had the balls to OC my gpu to is 575/1150 v1.24 with my 90w ps. Didn't keep it up there long though (long enough to benchmark 10 or so times as I tweaked the drivers), too worried I'd damage something, despite the temperatures being alright and no system stability issues present. Got a decent score though, tempted to try again and see how high I can push it, although performance wise, I'm content leaving it at stock except when playing Oblivion, where I kick it up to 480/1100.

At 575/1150 I got 5214 in 3dmark06. System specs in sig, pic below.

scores are in my sig... o'c to 635/1200 w/ no artifacts

 

heres my score with a 7900gtx oc'd (cant remember what to)... im really impressed with the scores u guys are gettin with 7900gs's though almost as high as mine

 

Finally downloaded it and got:

 

4650-ish dell m90, core duo 2 gigahertz t2500, 2 gigs ddr2 667 memory, quadro fx t2500m w/ 512 mb video, all stock, no OC'ing

 

that's a nice normal score for a quadro fx t2500m

 

Scores in sig. No overclocking.

 

when i got a 3dmark06 score of 4831 (yes at the good res of 1280*1024) i get a 3dmark05 score of 7865. My 3dmark05 scores are always a bit low compared to 3dmark06

 

Go7600 256MB (450MHz core: 350MHz mem)
Core 2 Duo T7600 2.33GHz 4MB
2GB DDR2-667


The Go7600 really seems to take off in '06.

 

nVidia 512MB 7900GTX (500/600)





The Core Duo does somewhat help out in the performance of the GPU. At least, that's what i have seen.

 

With a laptop that has as powerful of a GPU as yours (nice score), the CPU can make a difference because a lot of games aren't going to be limited by the GPU anymore.
If you want to see an example of a CPU-limited laptop, there's the AMD Turion-based SLI notebooks. The single-core Turion simply isn't powerful enough to let the GPUs stretch their legs.

 

You can't compare NIcks notebook with your example. Your example is sli with (i guess/ i'm almost sure) or 2x 7900gs or 2x 7900gtx (i think the last one). The gpu's are more powerfull in your example and the cpu is much weaker (single core, dualcore affects a lot with oblivion for example).
The difference between core duo and core 2 duo won't be much in real game scores and in 3dMark scores (only the cpu tests in 3dmark05/06 will affect som hundreds points). What i noticed with 3Dmark06 is that 512MB do make a lot more performance than 256MB. As example: I will get 46XX points with 3dmark06 (256mb go 7900gtx) and nickS get 53XX points. The cpu score of Nicks and my are the same so i guess Micks has a Core duo T2400 (1.83Ghz).
I have 2GB of ram and more than 2GB isn't possible as far i know. So our systems (except the gpu) are almost the same.

 

I am not comparing it. I'm showing that the CPU can make a difference - you don't want to have an SLI rig like the Alienware mALX with a single-core Turion 64 CPU driving it. It doesn't make that much sense. It has to do with what is the bottleneck in the system, and if you have an SLI rig with two of the fastest cards on the market, then obviously the GPUs aren't a bottleneck - the CPU is, and to a lesser extent, the memory.

All the gaming benchmarks show that there is little to no difference between the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo in gaming scenarios, right.

 

I agree, in such situations the CPU is definitly the bottleneck!

 

It's too low to get between 500 and 600 3DMarks (3Dmark 06) with a nVidia GeForce Go 7300??

I have a WXGA display... 1200 x 800

 

No i don't think so

 

Just got my Dell Inspiron 6400
1.66 Dual Core, 1024 Ram and a x1400

Got 1061 Points just out of the box with only McA. uninstalled
any good ?

 

I finally got around to loading 06.
Running stock speeds on my rig yielded:
SM 2.0 score - 758
HDR/SM 3.0 score - 818
CPU score - 1663
2138 3DMarks
