My 8600M GT scores 8***+ in 3dmark 05

I saw the max scores posted from a link on another website and it said the max for the 8600 was 73** something. and yah...I beat that by almost a thousand with 8343 and yes thats with my mac book pro running media center ed. 2005.

If anyone wants to know how it runs some games well here it is.

I play F.E.A.R. 1024x768 MAX : MAX quality - 30FPS lowest 99FPS highest
BF2142: 1280x960 All maxed out settings 60-110 FPS

thats just a couple I'll be testing more when I get time.

 

That other site isn't very accurate. I beat their max, aswell.

 

what did you set the clocks to?

and what res did you run that test?

edit: oh 3dmark 05

still curious though

 

the clocks were stock and the test was run at stock 1024x768

 

yeah ok.

i thought you were running 3dmark 06.

 

yeah. If I scored that in 3dmark 06. I'd be one happy camper. I don't know if you know anything about Crysis. I have a feeling that that game is going to run better than anticipated on the 8600M's. I scored 700 less pts in 3d mark 05 than my friend with a 7950GT(desktop). He's also running a dual core 2.0ghz processor with 2gb of RAM. I'm excited for some sort of beta to come out.

 

well. the 8 series has a better 3dmark score / gaming performance than the 7 series (so far)

but its possible that upcoming games would make that match up if they target the 8 series cards a little more.

also, your processor is probably faster than your friends and that matters a LOT for 3dmark and not so much for gaming.

still- i have a hunch the game will run better than the general consensus says.

 

Can you post link to ORB (Futuremark), so I can verified those results.
