That's pretty sweet score. :) What are the temps. of your card overclocked?
Click to expand...

My temps are around 35c give or take. It usually runs at 31c. pretty cool for how far it's clocked. Doesn't even jump up too much in games.

I have been online all day trying to learn how to overclock my cpu so I can up my score and a bit.
 
Here's a 'for fun' run for you all, go ahead and make it count as 'stock settings' if I ever get to 100 posts.

Omce i get internet, i will redownload 3dmark06 and try out my overclock :D maxed out in catalyst, 65% fan speed, 40c idle. :D:D:D

Well damn you beat my score by like a hundred points at stock clocks. But well, I guess thats what happends when you spend over a grand on GPU's vs two hundred right? :P
 
Whats the max resolution on your monitor? If it's only 1440x900 that sounds about right. Can you post up a screenshot of the selections? Also, perhaps the drivers for the monitor aren't installed?

Max res. is 1600x900. There aren't any drivers to install, its plug-and-play. I attached a pic:

I don't know about anyone else's opinion, but I'd take you running it at 1440x900 since it's impossible for you to do. It's 98.9% of the pixels pushed as 1280x1024.

I don't know if you noticed but it's at 1920x1200 8xAA 16xAniso too.

EDIT: sorry for double post... laggy internet made me think it didn't work the first time.

Why would you do that? :confused:

Mostly 'for fun' as said in the post. That and my stock run is only 3k higher. Further proof that 06 sucks. It's pretty much come to the point that everything that Futuremark puts out, sucks. Vantage was effectively an nVidia blowjob, 06 is a CPU benchmark on all but the crappiest of vid cards, 05 is even worse, 03 is surprisingly better than 05 AND 06.... and 01 is just 01... not really worth mentioning.

EDIT: Now that I think of it... Vantage is pretty much a CPU benchmark too. I don't get any score to speak of from GPU OCing... but CPU OCing= points = bottlenecked POS There are very few games that are truly CPu bottlenecked with full settings. It's about time Futuremark made a 'stock' bench that isn't auto-CPU bottlenecked.

Well thats pretty dumb to post up a score that can't be compared to anybody else's because different settings were used.

Compare away. Directly. I don't really care if you ran yours at stock. It's a meaningless benchmark anyway. If you break 27k I'll even declare your computer faster and tell everyone not to buy a system like mine, but to get yours instead. No one will, because again, these benchmarks are meaningless.

It's a little like trying to judge how fast your car is by seeing how far it'll go on a gallon of gas. Except in this case it's trying to benchmark 3d performance by giving it a work load that is 90% CPU.

This coming from the guy that has all new computer parts compared to his original score's rig :cool: Doesn't the 4870x2 cost like $450 used...?

No actually the gts250 is still the same. When I first posted my score I was about the make the move from AMD to intel anyway, I just wanted to bench with the AMD first to get a comparison.

I have less $ in my current rig than he paid just for his video cards.

Try half that, $220-250 is the going price for a 4870 X2 these days. Well, of course on ebay they are going for around $300....but thats ebay.
