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.

ok, cool. No harm just didn't want people ragging on anyone else.

And btw, I can't find an asus 4879x2 anywhere for less than $450 :( I really want one just for the hell of it, even though I have a 5850.
 
Why does it have to be an Asus? They are all the same ATI card, just stamped with different manufacturers.

A 4870 X2 JUST sold 2 days ago for $220 on overclockers.com (another forum I'm on)

I like the Asus model, hence the reason I just want it for keep sake :)

And earlier I meant that the score that I hatethedukes beat you with you mentioned you only spent about $200 on (and I know a gts 250 is cheaper than that), but your score was with a 4870x2, which is a lot more, and when you paid for it, assuming it was a while ago since that was an original rig.
 
Well, since the G80 and R600 came out, 06 has been almost entirely a function of CPU speed. If I ran a stock CPU speed run, I bet a fully clocked i7 + GTS 250 would beat me on stock settings. But I'd quadruple his score with 1920x1200 8xaa

My original score with with a Phenom II 550 unlocked to a quad at 3.9ghz and a gts250, and my score was 17,727.

That score with the 4870 X2 and I5 750 at 4.3ghz was barely 2 months ago maybe. I paid $200 for that 4870 X2. I also had a different motherboard for that I5.

I also had a gtx285, which I traded for an I7 860. I change hardware as much as I change my underwear man. I have an I3 540 on the way. I have an 8800gts_320mb, 8800gts_512mb, gts250, and 9600gt at the moment, and an 8600gt on the way. All EVGA brand. I have a 64gb OCZ vertex SSD on the way for my laptop too. I'm a hardware junky.

Color me jealous of that SSD. I'm waiting for the new Crucial SSD that will read at ~350mb/s. My wallet won't thank me but my boot times will.

It's all good, im the same way. I like buying hardware just because I like upgrading everything and multiple things.

That all? :P I have 545 mb/s read and 460 write speeds with the SSD's in my main rig :D

Very nice, I just haven't found the need to move down to 125gb volume with my current needs. This crucial will be nice though. I'll probably get another when they hit ~$200 for another 128gb.

Oh, and

:( Now why did you overclock the CPU more???? Now we can't compare stock settings to 1920x1200 with AA and AF accurately. :eek: Does not appear to make a whole ton of difference actually because 400mhz clock speed is probably atleast 2k points right there.

I just redid atto after disabling a few features...paging file, superfetch, restore, etc. Now the read speeds broke 600 but write is down to 412. What I really want to know is why are my read speeds slower than writes from 1-128kb.

Does anyone have a site or could anyone teach me how to overclock my cpu? Ive had 3 computers and never really done it. I tried one time, but prime95 didn't even go for 10 seconds before failing.. :confused:

start a new thread in the "cpus and overclocking" part of the forum and you will get plenty of help (most likely).
 
Just thought i should let you all know that version 1.2.0 of 3dmark06 is out, has been for a while.

I'll edit this and post my new score later :)

edit: update please?

Also, on the first page someone with a score of ~14k is higher on the page than people with 15k and above.

Are you using the highest multi your chip allows you to set?

If not thats why, Windows always reads the chip as if its using the highest multi, I have no idea why :D
