is my 3Dmark 06 ok?

cainer · 6 Mar 2010 at 10:54

hi, just built me new rig (see sig) as a first time n00by

i ran 3dmark 06 with everything @ stock and was only getting around 19,800 so i was told their might be a problem somwhere.. maybe the 2 gfx wernt working in Xfire ect :/
ive just OC'd my i7 920 to 4ghz and ran it again and got 28,704 and with it OC'd @ 3.2ghz i get around 23,500 so does this sound about right for my rig? can i take it from these scores that the gfx are fine and the CPU just needed tweeking up? or should i still expect to be getting a higher score?

thanks for help

I get 19600 all stock clocks with a single 5870 if that helps.

3d mark 2006 is crap these days.

The score is pretty much dependent on your cpu rather than graphics.

Use 3d mark vantage.

hmm, thats so similar to my score @ stock i think i might have to re-run it with only 1 card and swap em about see if i have a problem still ;/

My vantage score is just over 18000 stock clocks.

johny dolan · 6 Mar 2010 at 12:37

I have speed step turned off so with turbo my cpu shows 2968.5 mhz on cpu-z

i got 18944 with my signature pc run at defaukt 3d mark settings.

will take a look at that vantage and see what i get.

cpu score for my 3d mark score was 5855

johny dolan · 7 Mar 2010 at 17:06

Ive just run vantage for you.

3dmark score 18012

Gpu score 17800

Cpu score 18679

This is with all stock setting.

I have turbo enabled and speed step turned off which give a cpu speed of 2968.7mhz on cpu-z

3dmark06 score 19636

Cpu score 5245

That cant be right. I ran it was an overclocked Q6600/8800GT and gets the following

P8027
GPU - 6407
CPU - 33191

I have a i7 930 and a 5870 it is correct.

My i7 replaced my qx6800 and at stock clocks the i7 is as fast as the qx6800 when its 3.8 gig.

Guest2 · 11 Mar 2010 at 15:18

Is the 18679 cpu score with the i7 at stock then? I thought a [email protected] was about the same as an i7 or i5 at stock. Is my 33191 cpu score incorrect?

johny dolan · 11 Mar 2010 at 15:28

My scores are with the pc all stock clocks all i altered in the bios was to set the correct ram speed and timings and turn off speed step.

I have a old score with my qx6800 and 4870x2 and with the cpu at 3.6 i scored 3dmark vantage 13983 i didnt write down the cpu or gpu scores sorry.

Isn't the high CPU score due to PhysX?

johny dolan · 11 Mar 2010 at 16:12

I have ati card so no PhysX.

3d Mark Vantage is my preferred choice.
