    Then compare it to T9600 or something else. The point is that OCZ is only good with an overclocked CPU so it get high 3dmarks. Without it its like a car without its wheels. Pointless.

    Umm.. the cpu scored 2700 on the e8400.. and 2000+ on the OCZ. That's a vast difference.. and if you want.. I'll run my system @ 3.0 GHz as well, and it will beat the crap outta that system you just posted marks on. :p

    yep on marks, try an actual video game, like Crysis, FarCry2. I ve only posted 3dmarks to show how poorly the OCz does without an X processor ;)

    or if u want to play synthetic benchmarks lets try the vantage this time ;)

    out of interest, how does the 9262 do at 2.26GHz?

    You should be able to restrict the processor speed through vista power management.

    Well.. doesnt matter if it's an x proc or not..its the same speed running :p and our CPU scores are obviously similar..

    edit: nice.. that didnt work.

    The OCZ with a QX9300 has been "beating the living ****" out of the sager np9262.

    And you're the one who made the 3dmark06 comparison, then you say it isn't right, and tell us to use real games as benchmarks when the OCZ wins in 3D06

    now there you go! nothing wrong with them scores there. we just need to compare them to hoops quad to see if there is any real difference at that res.

    Rule 1 of f@nb01sm: when comparing A to B, always pick a much higher spec version of A and compare it to a lower spec version of B. ;)

    Interesting to note, that same review of the Sager also benchmarked UT3. I just ran fraps on UT3 and this is what I got:

    Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
    4396, 88870, 27, 63, 51.015

    on a P8600 (2.4ghz) playing Heatray. He got around 58 fps playing Heatray. Good to know that my useless notebook is only 7fps away from a 3ghz desktop processor + 2x 8800M GTX in Sli. I'm sure if I had an X9100, I would also be around that 60fps range, knowing how much the CPU influences UT3 in particular.

    hmm, I think ati still lose to nvidia in this gen gpu but take that in 4000 series. In the real game 3870cf can't beat 9800gt or gtx sli.
    Do you have OCZ, qaz333?

    then why get one? if it isnt as good as other systems out there, why didnt you just get one of them?
    was it due to the price?

    it might be because he didn't want to wait on the 4000 series, but can upgrade to it when it comes. thus giving him the edge.... (speculation of course)

    Just to add a little bit of a spice in here, with an xps m1730 x9000 @ 3.4ghz and sli 8800m gtx @1280*1024, I got 14500. I guess it is not that bad over all. It is for sale on ebay for $2900. Cheaper than the quadcore equiped systems you guys have. And I will be playing with my whitebok with qx9300 next weekend. Guys, I'll need your help if we want to beat kn scores.

    Ashintars score is very high because gpu oc'ed. I think he oc'ed in xp with ati tool or something and keep that speed to run in vista.

    Yes it was jus tin refrence to E-wrecked mentioning he couldnt see GoG so thats why he still claimed the record. Not meant to be a flame fest or anything. Just so he could see it.

    Teh top of your 3dMark looks like it was running in XP or Some type of performance. I compared it to mine and it looks like yours had the old gray box as opposed to the Vista one.'


    Meh who knows lol

    ANyways Why would you post flubbed scores?

    nope. if you look at the second picture it shows that it is in fact vista. :)

    might as well post it since no one seems to want to save scores to futuremark.com for all to see. meaning the whole score with all the screens showing. or a valid link.

    but hey...it's all good. posted that for a laugh or two

    edit: but here is one of my real scores hooper...im gaining on ya friend.

    Found a sweet download for benchmarking..includes benchmark for directx10.1 - Maybe this can level the playing field. Also, it's got some half decent music while the benchmark runs.. I ran @ 1280x1024 Directx10.1, full screen, all high settings. Was disappointed by the outcome though. It also supports dx9, dx10, and then of course..dx 10.1. hoop, wanna give it a run?

    I don't think anyone flubbed scores. But from the looks of it, the GPU seems to be OC'd, telling from how the SM 2.0 and SM 3.0 scores increased while the CPU scores are pretty much the same for an OC'd X9100.

    ichime, im sure you have 3dmark06.. run it with post-processing disabled, it's an option under the settings for your run. See what kinda HUGE gains you get outta it. I went from 14.9k with no OC to 15.7k.. Now, Im not gonna submit that, cause it's FAKE. Give it a run..then tell me why the person claiming a record doesnt have his submitted either.

    BTW, you'll notice sm3.0 gets the largest gains.. *rubs chin*

    If you check Ashintars score his sm2.0 is the same as from E-wrecked score but sm3.0 was boost up higher than E scores for 1300 points. May be E-wrecked right.

    but E-wrecked, can you run 3dmark with off post processing and show the result?
