3dmark05 scores for most current cards

Hi, graphics cards are possibly the most confusing choice a buyer has to make and while there are very good guides like Chazmans I felt that I needed something more. While 3dmark05 is not the definitive graphics benchmark or the only way to measure the performance of a graphics card it does provide an easy way to understand what a card is capable of.

The score can be affected by CPU, Chipset and drivers hence why their is such a large range in numbers, The scores I have used are from a wide range of manufacturers and reviews of different notebooks, the lowest score is the rounded score of the lowest mark I found while the highest is a rounded score of the highest I could find. All benchmarks are from either the mobility or Go cards not their desktop counterparts. I have not included mem or core frequencies as some manufacturers alter them to provide more stability. All results are from 1024x768 with Anti-aliasing turned off.

First up are the Ati cards
X200 128mb (shared ram) 500-600
X300 64mb 600-850
X300 128mb 1200-1400
X600 128mb 1100-1700
X600 64mb 1000-1200
X700 64mb 1476
X700 128mb 1900-2600
X700 256mb 2700-2800
X800 256mb 3300-3900
X1400 256mb dedicated + 256 shared 1600-2300
X1600 256mb 3700-4500

Now we have NVIDIA
6200 256mb (shared) 900-1100
6600 128mb 1600-2500
6800 ultra 256mb 5100-5400
6800 256mb 2800-3900
7300 256mb (shared) 1625
7400 128+ 384shared 1800-2200
7400 128mb 1700-2100
7800GTX 256mb 6100-6500

And last...and least
Intel GMA950 128mb (shared ram) 450-570

So you might ask what do these results mean? Well to be honest Not a lot 3dmark05 measures various areas of the graphics cards performance One example being the 7400 and the x1400 The 7400 has half the memory bus of the x1400 yet generally it seems to get a higher score. The scores will give you a Idea on how they perform against each other in a very general way. It also shows the impact the amount of dedicated Vram has on the score.

If you have a score outside of the range please let me know and I’ll update the guide.

 

And if you update the drivers on your x600 your score can increase by nearly 50%

One good reason to update your drivers.

 

Your laptop is a bugger to get details on, are those the stock frequencies?

 

Check sigs for specs. I got 4573 or something like that with a 6800 GO, OC'ed that is.

 

My 6600 gets ~2500 using stock drivers, and stock clocks (375/600). It's in the review of my system.

 

That 1700 score was at stock frequencies, the only difference from someone running one they just bought was that I had updated the drivers.

 

I got 5900 with my nvidia 7800 go

 

my overclock X700 got around 3300. Thats in the 6800 (non-ultra) margin!

 

Yeah, you can overclock the X700 and get higher scores, but I assume you're going for stock scores. In that case, my X700 256MB benches about 2800 in 3DMark05, which is right in line with your measurements.

I moved it to the Guide section as requested.

Cool thanks ChazMan, I'm only going to include stock settings for the moment as Not everyone is capable of OC'ing.

 

Where can one find benchmark tools to measure notebook graphic engines??

 

the program used i this test is called 3dmark05 and is made by futuremark, A trial program can be downloaded from their website.

 

Ill get you my score of my go7400 256mb video card as soon as I get my laptop in

 

I got over 3800 with my ASUS z81sp with a go 6800 using stock clocks and drivers. Your list sounds about right for just about every major card.

 

Hi matt,

Good info. x700 128DDR on default 350/300 gives 2270. That is in your margins.

Cheers,

 

Nice article. Certainly shows with the overlapping ranges the various video cards get why it's hard to say one "similar" card is definitively better than another.

 

just out of curiosity.. why aren't there scores for the x1800 or the 7600?

 

With stock drivers, I get around 4000 on my 7800 Go. OC'ed, I get 6100-6200.

 

Because I couldnt find any knifes.

 

*goes looking by way of google
-ten minutes later-
wow.. this is harder than I thought

but here's the 3dmarks for the 7600 courtesy of an asus thread on this site
http://translate.google.com/transla...shtml&prev=/search?q=asus+a8jm&hl=en&lr=&sa=G
(it says 2882 marks from the 3dmark05)

and err.. I cant find a 3dmark of the x1800 myself... interesting

 

Told ya. I dont think I can use that site, it says it has 512mb of memory and it seems unlikly thats all dedicated.

 

Might want to check the following link, in his review the Intel GMA 950 on 3dmark scored 569?

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=45215&highlight=intel


Quite different to yours. Might want to take a look.

Why isn't there a 3DMark 05 score for the x1300?

 

i6000 1.86, x300 128, 1.25 ram,default drivers
3dmark05 ==> 1332
3dmark06 ==> 335

 

pinoy you score falls right in the middle of my x300 score with 128mb memory?
X300 128mb 1200-1400

 

yup, 128 dedicated ram. I'm still not sure if I'm keeping this i6000-think I still have until Monday before the 21days 'CSG' expires(from delivery date).

I have an E1505 waiting to be unpacked - I'll test the X1400 - 128m w/ Hypermemory.

 

4498 3Dmark's for the Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi without OC.
T2500 , X1600, 2GB ram so X1600 is 256 Dedicated and another 256 Hypermemory.

 

Nice! I got a very similar score... 4568 with my OC'ed 6800 on my desktop. Its OC'ed by 10% I might try a 20% OC later, and see what I get.

 

2600 3DMarks for my 128MB X700 in my Z70Va with the latest Catalyst 6.3's.

2.26GHz P-M, 1GB DDR2-533 (single stick) and GPU at stock clocks of 351/297.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1935188

 

Today just for the heck of it, I tried PCmark05 on my laptop. 900GMA. Got 267! That’s interesting that the 950GMA is about twice as powerful.

 

specs in the sig. i got 1488 with omega drivers, stock clock (which is lower on dells that others) in 3dmark05. 1722 OCed 30% from dell's stock. i still need to try higher

 

my old radeon 9550 256MB got 962 3dmark05 scores ;P

 

How is 7600go 512MB (videocards own memory) 3dmark05-wize?

 

there arnt mant models that have that osca but ill have a look around, and deedeeman im only going to include current cards jusst to keep it simple but thanks for the input.

 

thanks matt_h1

ive had my eyes on the Asus A6JM-AP007H for a while, which has that GeForce Go 7600 512MB in it. The price and power suits my needs, but id really like to see the 3dmark scores on that.

 

Im sorry i cant find any records for that is it realeased in the US?

 

i really dont know.. all i know is that there's some news on Asus's german website, about the card and asus delivers those laptops with that card to germany (at least) this week. dunno if its released somewhere else also/already..

 

Anyone know any X1300 3dmark05 scores?

 

x1600 got 4514 so you should raise that range, thats without overclocking.

 

An X1600 got 4514!? That is sounds really high. I have a 6800 and I got 4157 stock. And 4987 OC'ed. A 6800 should be more powerful than a X1600.

 

^ What are the specs of the computer with the X1600?

 

Not necasarily, the x1600 is the new generation while the 6800 is old, maybe if you compared them in 3dmark04 the scores would be different.

 

I managed to oc my 6600 to 410/771!! from 375/700 and got 2800+ ok 3DMark05.

 

Nice... be sure to keep monitoring the GPU temperature. You might even be able to go a bit higher.

 

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1995668

Increase the X1600 score, it should be 4100-4500 stock.

 

Just updated the drivers and o'clocked (a bit) my GeForce 7400 and got 2085 Marks in 3DMark05.

Now to try and beat 2100 .

 

Err I cant include OC'd results aer0sense it just confuses the situation to much. Congrats though.

 

iamapato, The way the guide works is I list the Highest and lowest available score, I have seen the x1600 get 3700 so I cant put the range starting at 4100.

 

heh, in a flagship product from acer you would expect the scores to be best.
I get 4500 without OC'ing.

 

Yeah thats us! Lets go acer lets go hoo hoo hoo! Stock 8204@473/468 getting 4514 marks is good?
