Official 3dMark06 Rank Thread

Come on you guys. I don't deserve to be #1 with old technology. I was down at 7 or 8 on the old list. Where's Domain Man, 87tdna, Thermal Reactor?

I just saw this thread today.

I have screenshots with 28k score with my username and currently owned hardware but no timestamp. So I have to redo it when I get some time and get around to it I guess. Unfortunately, 06' does not scale quad SLI well AT ALL. In fact, my SM2 score is lower than with a single GX2 but the SM3 made up for it and then some. I was watching the GPU usage and each GPU wasn't even being used 50%.

First pic is a single GX2, second is quad SLI-

OK now we are beyond ridiculous. So I go through the whole deal and get my screenshot with timestamp, only to find out that now we even have to provide an ORB link, well hell I've long closed that window after I got my screenshot. And how do you even get it to say you username/name in ORB? Do you have to register with them? If so that is total BS to make you register somewhere just to get your score posted here.

What I personally feel is the mods made this so hard to post a score on purpose. You guys are hoping that all these rules are gonna make people just lose interest. You had to post up a new 06' and SPI thread to appease people in the mean time. Well, all I have to say is well done mission accomplished. Give yourselves a good pat on the back. I don't even care to post a score here cuz this is so ridiculous. Screw it.

I'll remove the ORB requirement, the reason i put it in the first place is to prevent use of non-WHQL approved drivers. However, at this point it seems to be causing more problems than it is worth and i want more people submitting scores.

Alright, well in that case I apologize for my rant. I'll submit my score in a minute.

Just ran a single GX2 for now, if someone beats my score I'll just run it again quad SLI :D
 
Alot of those users aren't active anymore, we wanted to update. There was a vote on this awhile back too and new scores won.
 
yeah, makes sence, maybe i will have another go a some point and beat my best or i might wait until i have my 5870
 
My CPU score was only 500 higher....not that much really. I wasn't running hyper threading, so thats a large factor. My SM2 score was much higher, your SM3 was only a little higher than mine.

I should run 4.2ghz just to see.


EDIT-

OK just ran 4.2ghz....no HT-

SM2-10161
SM3-11032
cpu-6460

Overall score-24169

So, cpu score still 165 points higher, but higher SM2 score still is the biggest factor why my score was almost the same as yours. Apparently the SM2 score counts for more 3dmarks than the SM3 score.

Because that makes perfect sense. :P

Note to you guys, by CPU model... i7 920, E6300, etc. Not the core(conroe/etc) code;)

Fixed all your existing entries in the spreadsheet to reflect that.

Bah, I missed that, should add that to the first post cause I did the same thing ;).
