3Dmark06 Scores Survey (updated)

ok...this should pretty much help out on where the 8800m gtx stands against a 9800m gtx sli & 9800m gt sli....

hi johnksss
cane i have some details laid out in the first post on this thread and then i can add your scores
cheers

 

yeah....that's not my system. *LOL* my score is the one on the left not the one on the right.

 

So Sager is finally done with my laptop and I shall receive it on Monday. I ll post eh scores then, I honestly can not wait to see that perform.

 

cool, because im sitting here trying to decide on gt's or gtx's for mine. just sent the gateway back to best buy. and can you do test with and without sli enabled? seems no one wants to run this test with the 9800 series....(speculation of course)

 

I used to have that same config with GT's in SLI. The performance increase from 9800m GTX is so small that unless u want to go SLi with it, I would not recommend spending the extra $$ on a single GTX. I m still not sure if GTX SLI was worth it but we shall see.

 

yeah, it was going to be sli for sure. if they are hitting the mid 14k range on average without any over clocks. then that sounds pretty good to me.

but at the same time....this has me a bit weary....

Oh yeah, 9800GTs in SLI will easily hit mid 14k. I m hoping for 16k with my config but thats a hope

 

thought some one had one already and all they cooould get was mid 14k as well? or is this a myth? no sli 9800gtx setup stock 15k or higher?

 

Hey MrDJ

The weekend has started, so I’ll be doing some testing now. Just tried CPU overclock with just a little GPU overclock, and this is what I got. I will be trying to hit the right spot and see what happens, but I’ll post this for now.

 

hey kobe....did you try that guys clocks in my post up above?

 

Whose clocks?

I just got on, so I have not looked at anything right now.

 

this one.

nice score by the way!

Hmmmmm….what was the total score?

I have not overclocked my GPU passed the safe mark, which is 600/1500/950. With FSB overclocking, you can’t even use max CPU overclock or the system becomes unstable. My clocks right now is 500/1400/850. That seems to be the right spot if you’re using FSB overclocking, alone with GPU overclocking. I will test further, but I must have flashed my VBIOS 20 times the past few hours just for testing.

I don’t mind if I get carried away and lose my CPU, but I’ll be pretty bummed if I took the GPU too far and lost it. As far as gaming goes, I doubt if anything beyond the 600/1500/950 mark without volt mod will bring any significant gain as far as gaming is concerned. I do like the CPU at 2.8GHz with high GPU overclock that seems to work very well when using Vista. Heck, Vista is more stable than XP. Not only was XP just stable at 2.7GHz with 600/1500/950 on GPU, but it would not even pass the 2.75 GHz mark with GPU at that clock. Vista on the other hand, allows the CPU to be overclocked to 2.8 GHz and GPU at 600/1500/950. Everything totally stable with the CPU overclocked to 2.733GHz with GPU overclock.

Right now, not overclocking the clock speed on my GPU seems to let me up the CPU clock speed. So I’ll dev into that further.

I see an Extreme CPU was used for the machine you posted a link to. With an Extreme CPU, I’m sure you can most likely max out everything since you’re not overclocking the PCI-E bus frequency.

That was a lot said, I better stop now. LOL!

 

@ johnkss - that score/clocks were on a dell 1730. They have a higher bios OC on the processor (mult 3x over, we only have 2x) and they can also up their video core voltage to 1.10 (we only get 1.05) so they can get higher stable clocks (life's a bi*ch...)

 

Hi kobe
do you want the above added to your original post on the score survey.
cheers

 

Hit my record so far... 10,770 with a 2.53GHz P9500 (stock) and the following:

Core: 665MHz
Shaders: 1670MHz
Mem: 975MHz

GPU Temp NEVER got above 70C

SM2: 5028
SM3: 5188
CPU: 2282

I'm going to assume itsfun is running the X9100? CPU score increase of 1000 points is pretty big. Once day I'll have an X9100 or the QX9300... someday...

 

*LOL* we are getting off why i posted that. it was just for *reference purposes only* to basically say...sli 8800m gtx's can clock in at 15k. doesn't matter what machine it's in, just that they can.

now im knew to these clevos/sagers so im not quite understanding why you have to flash the bios all the time. can't you just software over clock it first? then flash it for the perm later?

 

When I only had XP, I tried many software programs to overclcok my video card and nothing worked. So I assume the same is with Vista, although I never tried anything but BIOS overclocking with Vista.

It would be much easier to use software for overclocking to find that perfect combination, as it doesn’t take much work. I’ve flashed my card so many times here lately, that I’m just tired of doing it. I’m just leaving it at 550/1400/900 so I can use my 2.8 and 2.9 turbo activator (FSB frequency application) from Audigy.

If Ntune does work with the 5793 and Vista for overclocking (didn’t work with XP), I’ll try it. But I would have to know that first, before reinstalling it again.

 

ok, im with ya now. i did the same thing when i had my dv9740 model.

just trying to get an idea first... think im going to put in for sli 9800 gt's next week. although i wont have to wait to long since sager is about 25 minutes from me "that's right, yay me!" *LOL*

i was waiting back for a reply from audigy. i sent him the pll info for a gateway like a week go. is he still round?

 

it's not audigy you need to send the pll info to, it's the creator of setfsb

 

probably why i never got an answer back....

John, here are the benchmarks...sorry it took me so long!

 

Never a problem zenica! and thank you for the post here!

 

Its here!!! Finally ... 9800GTX SLI is here. I ll post benches asap

 

ill be really close to my "instant email notification" window! *LOL*

 

All the power of Q9650, all the power of 9800mGTX SLI and the result is .... absolute crap. Its the same as 9800GT'S SLI in my previous system. Lets hope gaming benchmarks will result in better score, but so far the 9800m GTX is not worth an extra single penny!!

 

well..not in your favor, but that was the answer i was looking for to justify my purchase of dual gt's..... someone said the gtx's weren't surpassing the gt's

 

I only wish the M570TU supported SLi but I'll live.

 

Like I suggested before, the GTX will probably perform significantly better than the GT at higher resolutions. Try benchmarking it @ 1920x1200 vs another system at that same res with GTs.

 

he would need to hook up an external monitor.

i would have a m570tu if they did...

 

Oh whoops, didn't realize he had the WSXGA+ screen. Well, try 1680x1050 instead, then compare it to a Dual GT system. Not sure if the results are going to be as significant, but we'll see.

 

Ok I dont know how to say this but there is a good part to my new system. Crysis at 1650x1050 at high absolutely flies!!!!! It feels like I m getting at least 80fps

 

http://www.fraps.com

but im sure you already have this program...so enable it to see your frames...lol

 

Yeah. i dont like fraps that much. But I ll do the standard crysis benchmark. Wow so far I have to say that if other games run like this, thats sweet. All I can say for now that 9800mGTX SLI in crysis is noticeably better.

P.s.
I dont want to go off topic so i ll be posting all my benches in my old thread.

 

Mr. DJ (and anyone else who can answer this)... does it make a real difference to the benchmarking score after you've tweaked Vista to run more optimally (from the guide on the Windows forum sticky).

Just wondering what things, when disabled, can greatly enhance a benchmark..... if any.

(Currently trying to find the best anti-virus/firewall software that isn't bloatware and doesn't drain background resources or slow anything down).

 

Disabling Aero and Sidebar, along with other processes that are unneeded, help me get around 80-100 points more in 3DMark06. Quite worth it in my opinion. Also make sure fraps is disabled when benchmarking anything that shows its own fps. It can suck up to 1-2fps from certain apps.

 

im not sure gunsmith. people say it does speed things up a fraction here and there but im not sure about benchmark scores.

im using avg which ive upgraded to the full version which is very good.
i have norton 360 on my other laptop and that certainly drains resources.
