Old Score:
SM2.0 Score: 2130
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 2036
CPU Score: 1744

3DMark Score: 5060

I was really suprised by the score. Not one 3Dmark06 score on notebookcheck.net for this graphics card has a high of a score as this. I was expecting a 3500.



So what are your thoughts? Is this a decent score?

 

They benchmark at 1280x1024, not 1280x800. My overclocked DDR2 card scores 4800 at that resolution. Run the benchmark at 1280x1024 and report back.

 

And a screenshot of your settings/results would be nice. I know you posted the info in text, but it's good for verification

 

I have the results saved. A 3DR file. But I cant get the score back up. Do you know how?

 

No idea, I've wondered that myself. I always take PNG screenshots, but exporting to Excel would probably be the best choice (In addition to a screenshot).

 

I don't know either I always just use the Snipping Tool.

 

Dang. Oh and about the running it at 1280x1024 resolution. I can't change it any higher then 1280 x 800 in 3Dmark06.

 

AH! The 3DR file is like a zip. Uncompress it and it contains: Results.xml SI.xml Handle.txt, and default.enc. Just open up the results.xml in you web browser and find the results. You have to look a bit to find the score.

Here's the link to the file: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnxy43mgejo

 

Your laptop screen must have a native resolution of 1280x800, right? It can't benchmark at a resolution higher than what your monitor can display.

 

That's right. I noticed your "signature" You have a Dell Inspiron 1520. Doesn't that also have a 1280 x 800 native res? Because your 3DMark06 says "3718 @ 1280x1024". And wouldn't that not beable to run at that resolution?

 

Your score though seems a bit low for an overclocked DDR3 card.

 

My monitor has a 1680x1050 resolution, so 3DMark06 tests at 1280x1024 for me.

It's a DDR2 card. I did that OC a long time ago but right now am running at stock clocks and using a better driver than back then. I should probably update my sig to reflect that.

 

Question: My graphics card's temp at websurfing (and such) is 54-56C and hardcore gaming is 77-80C. Is that too hot for a 8600M GT?

 

Yours I know is a DDR2 card, I confusingly combined a quote of yours with a response to the topic creator.

Temps look fairly normal for that card OP, although a bit higher than what I like.

 

Wait so your saying my score in not up to par with other 8600m gt's with ddr3?

 

No, that's fine. Anything close to or in the 90's is too hot though.

Silly silly

 

your temps are fine.
general guide line: 80-85 is a bit hot, 85-90 is getting dangerous, 90+ is something is WRONG.

 

I updated the post. screen shot included.

 

Very nice

For the screenshot, could you post the thumbnail link, so that poor folks with lower-res screens don't have to scroll to see it? Thanks.
