5720 3dmark06 score

For anyone who can't see that, I got 3412 3dmarks with the new 3dmark06.

SM2.0 Score=1527

HDR/SM3.0 Score=1519

CPU Score= 859

My specs are: 2.00ghz, 2gb of RAM, 7200rpm HD, 7800 gtx with the 79.31 drivers.

My old drivers ( 82.12 with performance mod ) gave me about 100 points higher in the 05, but gave me problems with FEAR.

For all you overachievers out there, you can probably reach the 4000 mark with some overclocking and good drivers.

 

I hit 3360 with no O/C on my 5720. I wasn't too impressed with 06. It seems to be a recycled version of 05 with a few extra videos. I was hoping for more originality from 06.

 

on my Sager 5720 1.73Mhz and 512mb ram, 7800 gtx

3Dmark score : 3337
SM 2.0 Score: 1546
HDR/SM 3.0 Score: 1543
Cpu Score: 755

Poland rules!!

 

Nice to see someone already started this thread.

I got 3421 stock configuration and 81.94 drivers (no problems with FEAR).

Seems consistent with the others who have tested.

I was particularly impressed with the 760's CPU score as it compared to my overclocked Athlon64 San Diego core running at 2.65GHz in my desktop which scored a not too much higher 1021 on the CPU score. I would have thought the score difference between the A64 would have been greater.

Overall I don't see this new benchmark having any significant comparitive value for running current games since my desktop system with an overclocked X800Pro (1959 in 3DMark06) plays most games, including BF2, smoother and faster at same settings than the Sager 5720. It could be partially to do with the desktop having an Audigy2 soundcard as well but since the 3DMark05 scores were much closer together I think this 06 benchmark will be better at predicting performance in future games that use shader 3.0, HDR, and utilize multi-core cpus.

 

I used to have the 81.94 drivers, no problems with FEAR. I used Driver Cleaner Professional since all these forums recommended it, and i upgraded to that 82.12, and after maybe 10-20 minutes of playing FEAR, it would go down to like 5fps.

I used driver cleaner, and went back to the 81.94. Same problem. I think if you never used this driver cleaner, and you upgraded from an old driver, part of that driver still exists that lets the game run normally?

I know its not a heating issue because some person with the same card had the same problem with 81.94.


Mastha212, did you do anything else besides overclock? Any good drivers you installed or whatever?

 

Just a question - what resolution did you run 3DMark06 at?

I think it conforms to your monitor's native resolution.

With my X700 256MB OC'ed, I got 973 marks at a 1280x1024 resolution.

 

No, nothing. I recommend XtremeG 81.95 v2.25 MobileForce Drivers - they give you highest score in 3dmarks. GPU @ 480/1300. Resolution 1280x1024.

 

Chazman, I just downloaded the program and ran the free one. It was the same resolution as yours.

 

ChazMan421: 3DMark runs the tests in the same resolution regardless of platform for consistent results.

steMo: Do the NVidia drivers change any firmware settings in the card itself? Frame rates dropping sounds too much like a heat and auto-throttling issue to ignore. The card will throttle down when overheated to save itself. I suspect the drivers determine what those settings will be. It's possible that something that was set in the 82.12 drivers that wasn't unset by installing the 81.94 drivers. Possibly now that you've installed 79.31 you could go back to 81.94 without issues.

 

I am 99% sure its a FEAR issue. I went on the tech forum for FEAR, it was flooded with wierd glitches like this. Most people with 7800's would have their game just like close out, freeze up, drop fps, or do some crazy **** after like 10 minutes.

I thought it could be heat, so i turned up the fans on my laptop to full blast. Same thing. FEAR was the only game to do this. Also, when it did drop the fps, it either would wait about 1 minute to return to normal fps, or i could just reload the save spot and it would be fine.

 

I just started playing FEAR and am experiencing the same problem. Slowdowns after about 5-10 minutes that last about a minute and then go away for about 5-10 minutes. It's driving me nuts and it's got nothing to do with gameplay or what's happening during the game....some kind of driver glitch.

I'm using the same drivers but didn't have this problem before when I ran the game through the first level and part of the second after installing it.

I think I'll try going back to an earlier driver also if that fixed it for you.
