Official 3dMark06 Rank Thread

[Laquer Head]

Not sure how this is, but my G73 laptop got 12,309 3DMarks.

Is there a listing for laptop scores?

 

[87dtna]

Wow dude thats a killer laptop! I don't think they were doing anything special for laptops, so it'll go in with the rest of the scores.

 

[Laquer Head]

ahh ok, yah I was surprised by the number too..

 

[bomberboysk]

Yeah at this time there is no specific ranking for laptops, in the future if there are enough laptop scores i will place another leaderboard up specifically for laptops.

Sounds good!

When are you updating next Bomber?

 

[bomberboysk]

Was going to yesterday, but roadrunner has been out since then. If it comes back up today i'll be updating it. (Posted from my palm pre)

I love how we are still using this when there are two new versions out, shows that futuremark may have made a mistake switching the scoring of their benchmarks.

 

[bomberboysk]

Actually for hwbot we still bench as far back as 3dmark '99

I now spank you all with two lowly gts450's

Was hoping to beat my AMD score but it did not happen...

Turn HT off and overclock higher. You'll get a much better score.

This is 4400mhz ht off.... 19704

Thats weird. What Drivers are you using for the 4870?

Edit- Ah 10.11 I see, I think try older drivers try 10.5

Still don't understand the CPU thing. What was the CPU score with 4.2 HT on?

 

[jasonn20]

Here is the link to the first run.. http://3dmark.com/3dm06/15290886

Yes, gonna try 10.6 and see if it helps...

 

[87dtna]

hmm, 10.5 is better.

 

[jasonn20]

I thought I would use 10.6 since it is what I used with the AMD run.

It's not a big deal or anything I was just tinkering with this new setup. The transition from test to test is much smoother than with the AMD.


Here is the besT I have gotten.. my fans roaring.. sounds like a vacuum cleaner left running for 6 hours now.. probably gonna have to give it a break everyone is getting annoyed.. ... might try 4600mhz though...

Meh, get a better card. 4870's are crap IMO.

Or, you could get a 4870 X2 and tri-fire, that would work

 

[SslagleZ28]

Hmmm is this good?

I have no idea what a good number is and what a bad number is

I updated my DirectX drivers and my score have improved a bit... I'm in the 20's with 4.2ghz and HT ON....

This Gpu does everything I need for it to do... plays any game nicely with some on maxxed settings... not a bad card they just run hot normally..
