The All New Benchmarks Thread

Those are incredible 3dMark05 scores. Certainly the highest I have seen. They pretty much double our 9800Pro scores.

Danz - download the 3DMark Benchmarks here.

Unfortunately 3DMark99 doesn't run on the NT kernel. I also particularly liked that one. Isn't that Final Reality score a bit low?

For some reason just typing final reality makes me want to play Moto Racer.

Ahh, MotoRacer. Kinda reminds me of my Matrox M3D and my Orchid Voodoo 1. Those were some days. Quake 2, Unreal, Need for Speed 2, etc.

As far as the 3DMark05 scores... It still looks like crap.

Stupid CoreCenter...

Crashed my harddrive! Oh, well. Clean install couldnt hurt I guess.

It kept raising my core speed and making horible alarm sounds, i couldnt do anything but watch. Well in hindsight the reset button might of helped...

Oh well... Anyway I'm back to 250 x 9

So I havnt overclocked at all yet, but I just wanted to give some preliminary benchmarks.

So Doom3, freshly installed, and not patched, using my same autoexec.cfg from my old higest settings.

Ready... 95FPS, 2nd run.

The NV card makes quite the difference.

My second video card shows up on Friday, so I'll post a few scores after I get it all SLIed up.

...this is getting ridiculous.

And I use that phrase sparingly.

Well, new job usually means new bits for me. I usually take a few celebratory paychecks and do fun things with them.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Nice McNevin! That's more or less the kind of speed I was getting with the NForce 3 and AGP GT. It's actually a little bit better because I never used 8x aniso (usually 4x.) That means you're getting an extra 4x by running PCI express. How much RAM are you using? When I went from 1 to 2 gigz0rZ D3 had a totally noticeable speed increase (especially in Ultra quality.)

Maybe I'll run some timedemos once I get my stability issue solved.

Oh, hop on hardforum.com and see if there are any useful tricks for your motherboard.

Yeah, that place is usually pretty useful. I'm wondering why you can't get your board to do the proper voltage. That board has been getting excellent reviews. I almost got it too until I saw the heat-pipe on my board. MSI uses nice components these days, so I just don't quite understand this. Perhaps you DO need a heavy supply with dual rails and 24pin power.

Are there a lot of people having the same problems you are?

I do have NCQ! Woo Hoo!

Nice! That's supposed to make things fast. I don't know how much real-world performance it yields, but supposedly that's one of the things that makes SCSI so fast.
