*OFFICIAL* 3DMark06 Thread

Ok, I'm sick of seeing all these "3DMark06" threads where everyone runs at different resolutions, adds a lot of commentary, and spouts off about how it o/c'd better than this machine or that machine. Who cares. Let's just get a single thread with simple facts:

- Run 3DMark06 1.10
- Resolution should be 1280x1024, if your laptop is only 1280x800 then connect it to an external. No point in comparing different resolution results

Include:

(1) Laptop Make/Model
(2) CPU Type @ Stock / Overclock Speed (i.e. Intel T7500 @ 2.2 / 2.2 GHz)
(3) GPU @ Stock / Overclock Speed (i.e. 8600m GT @ 475 / 600 MHz)
(4) Memory Type & Size @ Stock / Overclock Soeed (i.e. 256MB DDR2 @ 400 / 500 MHz)
(5) OS / Driver version (i.e. XP 32-bit LV2G 169.22)
(6) 3DMark06 Score (yes, bolded)

I think this will help people actually FIND similar system results.

Thanks.

do this when i get home, atm i don't have anything to record my clock speeds (or is it in the BIOS?)

 

Well, can't we just run it at 1200x800? Makes more sense and would still be comparable between scores. Not everyone has an external monitor kicking around.

EDIT: Oh and we should include the CPU type/speed too as this will affect the score if you want to do this properly.

 

yeah! Why not 1280x800? I mean, I don't hook my PC to an external monitor just to play....especially if it is not wide screen...(I hate 4:3)

 

Stick with 1280x1024, it's the official default. If you absolutely can't run it at that res, then make sure you highlight in your post the resolution used.

Damn, I have to buy a Mini-VGA cable now.

 

I think the OP's intention was for every score to be at the same resolution. Just because its the default doesn't mean people have to use it. As we're only comparing notebooks I dont see the problem using a different res.

Exactly my point.

EDIT (I always end up doing this..): I dont mean to clutter the thread up so I wont say any more without a score (hey, that rhymes).

 

The problem with using a different resolution is that the demo defaults to 1280x1024. If your resolution is greater than that, you can't down the resolution without buying and registering the program.

If you can't run at that res, then don't report it or make sure you highlight it.

Oh yeah, CPU type / speed added. Good point

I have an issue with 3DMark06: when I finish the test, it says that in order for me to view my results I must submit them online, but then I get "submission failed" and this document that loads up: file:///C:/Users/Ryan/AppData/Local/Temp/temp.htm

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

how do you want to post all scores in different os and driver versons?

 

Nothing overclocked, because 1) I don't really know how to, and 2) I'm worried it will upset my warranty.

Does anyone know if overclocking will void the Dell warranty?

 

ORB was down for a little bit. Try again.

 

Just list them as separate entities in the same post.

 

Yeah I second that , and u forgot to mention the ram.

 

I'de like to know this too actually.

 

Wow does DDR3 really give that big of an advantage over DDR2? Thats over 1000 points more than my stock score!

 

GAH Flicker, did you do a clean install? Note this is bone stock with all of that crap installed on the computer

Jesus, what's up with those scores? Usually an 8700GT scores about 4500 ....that`s almost a 40% increase...
HOW ? I wanna now...and also,how are the temps for you guys?

 

Well, as you can see, our scores were achieved with oc´ing...the stock clocks for the 8700 are 625/1250/800....

Non oc´ed it should be +-5000...

My temps were around 62-63c.

 

Hehe... these babies born to be OCed...

Here it is:


About gpu temps, my 8700M GT barely touchs 60ºC with OC after several hours playing...

 

whoa just 60 degrees?? thats nice
mine go upto 80 while Im gaming and overclocking. 55 is my idle GPU temp.

 

Then How About we sticky this in the Gaming Forums?

This is really helpful for prospective notebook buyers and the format is simple and organized

 

Also note, the 8700Gt scores 4800 or so with a 1.8GHz T7100 behind it and with immature drivers at stock clocks.

A 7700 will be roughly 600 points higher (5400) at stock clocks.

Why is it surprising that a GPU overclocked by 20+% scores 20+% higher?

I had explained a LONG time ago that the 8700GT was quite powerful provided it was not being choked by its 128-bit bus (under 1280x1204).

 

Ok you got me there. How about in game screenies with those values and some temp screenshots also ?

 

just a friendly reminder i thought we where talking about GPU memory not RAM

 

Using stock drivers from the nvidia site.

(1) more than 1,5 years old XXODD M570U
(2) Intel Cd T2400 @ 1.83ghz (stock)
(3) 256Mb go 7900gtx (stock clocks: 500core, 600mem)
(4) 2 gb RAM ddr 667mhz
(5) XP professional 32bit
(6) 4768

Using higher cpu gives pretty much more 3dmarks in 3dmark06. I tell this to the people who are wondering about the big differences between some cards like the 8700m gt. Especially when you oc the gpu you can notice the difference between cpu's. In normal games you wont notice the difference as much as the score difference in 3dmark06.

 

Okay, here is mine. I just ran it.

sorry no external monitor so ran at 1280x854 resolution
Toshiba Satellite P100ST9752
1.83 core 2 duo T5600 @ stock
Geforce Go 7900GTX 512MB GDDR3 @ stock (500/600)
2 GB DDR667 (2 x 1GB) @ stock
Vista Ultimate 32-bit / omega 169.25 forceware with laptopvideo2go inf
3dMark06 4961

immediately after running: 57C for 7900gtx and 62 for cpu cores

is there any room for overclocking? I have read couple of forums/posts about overclocking the 7900gtx and 7900gs. i think i might want to stay away from flashing just now. maybe when this computer gets older... then i feel "right" with experimenting.

just a question though, i installed the drivers (169.25 / omega) and installed ntunes, but i cannot get the performance tab to show up in nvidia control panel. i tried clean install, different driver versions (i.e. 169.04 and stock toshiba ones 156.66). nothing works. No performance tab. I know I can't overclock with stock bios, but should at least the performance control panel or something show up after installing nTunes??
i even tried NVTweak and checked all options. still no go.

something broken here?

thanks
mike

 

are you guys sure 3dmark06 is seeing your cards in sli? i've re-installed my os and i know sli is enabled, but in 3dmark06 / system / details / it shows linked display adapters: false

i've tried in vista and xp pro, and it never shows the adapters as linked. i really don't think 3dmark06 is running the tests with sli enabled.

Can anyone tell me is this normal for the GDDR3...It looks like it for that resolution....

 

That looks about right. I get about 4200 with o/c'd 600/500 with my DDR2 8600m GT in my Vostro, but only about 3600 @ stock.

I still need to update my drivers to 169.xx... but when I tried it wasn't letting me, even with the modded inf.

 

Wow - you could even get 3DMark06 to run in Vista 64-bit? I never could get it to run.

 

Yeah, but I can't get any newer drivers to install, even with modded .inf files.

Edit: Also, I tried installing the other drivers included with the Sager driver disc (I don't remember what version they were) and 3dmark 06 would totally lock up my system. So I reinstalled 167.43 that was also on the disc to get it to work.
