The Gateway 3DMARK06 thread (post your benchmarks here!)

Welcome to the forums, Pmoney.

On a side note, I've delete the P-17X category since it is essentially the same as the 68XX series, not to mention not a lot of people own one. Keep the benchmarks coming! Keep pushing your systems!

 

Here's the thing, I've been trying to overclock my HD2600 for some time now and have not been sucessful. I don't know what to use, Rivatuner doesn't like it, Ati Tray tools never opens, AMD GPU Tool v9.8 doesn't open (it tells me to "run as adminstrator") but it's not an options when I right click. There's no overdrive with on the CCC. I don't know. Maybe someone could help me out here. I want to get to about 4200 marks, that's what my previous 8600m GT did and it was definately playable.

As far as the 6860 goes, It does the job for me with the games I play so I never even thought about overclocking it. Also, I'm about to sell it and get a 7805u or 7811.

 

1280x1024 = 10211

1280x800 = 10799

1920x1200 = 8183

1440x900 = 10297 (just found custom resolutions works)

P9600, newest Beta drivers 185.81, Video OC @ 700x900x1700

 

Maybe we should have a separate category for P9600 owners only

 

I mainly wanted to display the people with 1440x900 displays run 3dmark06 at 1280x800 and their default scores will be quite a bit higher than those with 1900x1200 displays running the default at 1280x1024

Also those that run highest screen resolution get better scores with 1440x900's than with the 1900x1200...............

 

Ill post my results soon .

 

this is my stock 7811, just oc'd 700/935/1750 XFastest 185.20

 

Yay new score

New even higher score. Going to try a new driver or two and see if i can get nearer to 11K

10611


EDIT
Even Better Score

10814... I'm gonna try to push a bit further (i really want to get 11K) but i dont know how much further i can get my clocks


EDIT 2
wootage!

ok. Stick a fork in me i'm done... 11074

But now i wonder if i can get 11111... that'd be a cool number

 

Here lol I have beaten the sxps1640, with just a 120mhz overclock



New record for MC78 series

Note that the temps were VERY high because I ran orthos fisrt for 4 hours before just to test my cpu . The GPU never went up from 76C during the 3dmark benchmark. Im really happy to have these temps because they seem low. Damn I guess I have to update my catalist drivers I still have 8.5... Ill get the 9.4 soon.

Some of you might remember my score from some time ago.

10053

All stock with as shipped drivers. Just OCd the vid card.

 

Dammit, Kamin. I was hoping to scrounge another few hundred points and pass you up this week! Later today (when I have the time), I'm going to put up separate stock machine benchmarks due to popular demand. On a side note, I have an awesome new avatar, SPOOGEEEETAH.

 

Well competition does breed greatness. So you are welcome to try and take my spot. It looks like i have the most powerful FX series right now

Someone has got to be able to beat my score. A 78XX series with a t9900 or 7808. Something.

Come on people. I'm winning with last gen tech

But if you want to work on your scores idiotpilot we can probably get you up there if we can figure out whats bottle necking you at 9999

 

Greetings all,
Here are my 2 cents for:

Gateway P-6831 FX
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T8100 (upgraded from T5450)
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS ( increased frequencies by 40 MHz from factory)
RAM: 4GB (upgraded from 3GB)
HDD: WD 250GB (factory)
OS:Microsoft Windows VistaBenchmark

3DMark06 SCORE: 8571

Cheers,
EM

 

Good score emptymellon, have you tried pushing your video card further or is that all the overclock it allows?

 

...well, I only had the nerves to push the GPU bus speeds up to:

GPU core (3D): 550 MHz
GPU memory: 873 MHZ

Both staying in green with NVMonitor running as a reference check.

So, I was able to push the 3DMark06 SCORE to: 8742. I was unwilling to push the GPU any further...yes I know, "chicken". Don't want to fry my business machine.

Well, it was fun though playing with settings though.
EM

 

Yeah i know what you mean about not wanting to fry it.

I was inching mine up 2 clicks at a time till i broke 11K. I haven't messed with it since then (still want to try for 11111 )

 

you're a mod now Kamin?

 

heres my score with my m-6862. not an fx, but it has the exact same specs as the m-6864fx (and same frame, just different colors ) minus the hard drive, which on the 6864 is faster.

i gave my gpu a large overclock with a 615 core and a 756 memory speed, from 500/600...temps only increased 2 degrees too lol. sad. but the score went up over a thousand points. oh, btw, anyone mind telling me if these speeds are dangerous and what things can possibly happen to my gpu with it?

 

Stock 7811FX:

 

Which drivers JBN? Great score for low GPU clocks.

 

Awesome score joshthor. I'm gonna overclock my 6850 and see what it does.

 

New score for my 6850fx.

 

dang pmoney. beat me by 104 points. thats not cool lol jk hey i was wondering, how big of a boost does that cpu give for gaming?

 

What about the MC78 series! hehehe you should open a new range for them .

 

I think the T9300 is the best upgrade I've done for this laptop. It runs so much cooler (around 0c on idle). Computer is definately more responsive. As far as gaming I haven't notice much of an improvement. One other thing I've notice is that blu-ray playback doesn't freeze up anymore. On the t5550, if I watch a blu-ray at some point the cpu will be a 100% and playback will freeze so I would have to pause. Now the cpu stays around 70-75%. All in all, I would definately say the cpu upgrade was worth it. And I got it for only $145.00

 

If you can push over 3500 points, I will give it a category.

 

What about 4500 at my native res? . Damn just because of my native res I got this score, It would be like 300+ more if I ran this at 1280 x 800. Btw my max gpu temps are 76C.

 

We're all still waiting your break into the realm of 10K+

 

I think it was the Dox 178.24 driver but I'm not so sure. I thought those clocks were fairly high; what clocks are you using?

 

You're a mod now?!?

 

Why so mad? I'm pretty sure we can get you over 10K pretty easy. Like is said before, we just have to figure out whats causing the bottleneck to your score.

Yeah, i'm officially an Inquisitor, but only a baby mod, i just have the gateway/e-machines sections

 

3DMark06 scores 10059 with T9300 at 2.49GHz/8800M GTS!

Img may be too small, but here's the link: http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=22DFA083818DA03338BE19EC1A78C9A3

 

Win 7 RC/8800mGTS (630/930/1560)/T9300

 

In 3DMark06 i have usually used 750/1020/1920 on my 9800M GTS 512mb card. Once core was 760 mhz.But not every driver has gave me stabilty on those clocks. Usually core is between 730-760 mhz. Memory @1000-1030 and shader 1000-1040 mhz.

 

Have I maxed out my GPU??

 

I would say so.... you can keep trying until a bluescreen under any circumstance but you probably wont get much more out of it with out damaging something

 

What driver is best for the 8800GTS in my P6860FX?

 

I've had good scores with xfastest drivers. 180.70 and 185.20 were both gold for me.

 

i've got a p 7811

and my marks are around 8785
is that too weak?

 

Thats pretty typical for a stock 78xx series, so no worries

 

I installed the xfastest drivers and score 7100 stock?

 

OMFG 655/970/1625? What kind of gpu temps do you get when you're gaming?

I use 625/925/1475, and I see up to the low 70's after gaming for a while.

 

Dont be afraid to raise those shaders... they can take some abuse... but your other clocks seem fine..... I only heavily OC for benchmarking or playing crysis haha

 

Yeah the 8800 is an odd card, its very powerful but some people can get WAY better clock out of them than others.

My fastest benchmark run i was using (if memory serves)
683/875/1704 Seeing some of your clocks i might try to get that 875 to the 970+ range see what that wil do for me

 

Feelin' adventurous, so I bumped shader clock to 1550, and got 9555 at 1280x1024 res! I thought that I could never break the 9000 mark. Using WHQL 185.85's, and just installed Vista64 SP2, too.

 

Bah, now I see that all the others are doing it at 1280x800. It is known that 1280x1024 is the REAL "default", so it would be easier to see how we're doing "in the grand scheme of things", rather than just specific to our laptops... anyways here's my score at 1280x800:

185.85 WHQL's
1280x800
625/925/1550
Vista64 SP2
10074

 

Well seeing as we (the vast majority of FX owners) have 1440x900 we cant exactly run at x1024 with out going external. And i only use my laptop, so no external monitor for me.

 

I get about 60+ degrees at the max, idles at about 42 degrees.
I can push the clocks further to about 675/1020/1800, but the thing is that it does not really have any difference since the T9300 becomes the bottleneck, so why do it?
Also, vista hinders the performance. Would be getting 1000+ better score if using win7 RC.

 

Scored 10265 with 935/945/1650, I realised that any clocks higher than 935/945/1650 will actually cause a degradation in performance.

 

Wowowow 1650... this is gonna make me wanna push higher.

P.S. Can you make your screenies bigger? I can barely make out any of the numbers...
