3D Mark 06

Score in sig with Catalyst 6.4 and Chuck patch. I don't think I have ever used Futuremark approved drivers, or even WHQL drivers for that matter. :)
 
These clocks are extremely tame compared to some, because I am still using complete stock air cooling at the moment. I just ordered an Arctic Freezer 64 for my CPU and a Zalman VF900-Cu though, so I will be bumping these clocks a lot tomorrow with a bit of luck. :)
 
Just broke 10k on 3d05 and 5k on 3d06 :D

My x1800xt is @680/790 and my A64 X2 4200 is @2.75Ghz all on air :cool:

Gcard maxes 80deg under load :eek: and my cpu is max 53deg under load.
 
Those are great scores considering the overclock isnt massive on the gpu, shows what a lack of decent cpu does for my pc :(
 
Well my X800XT-PE is nearly scoring 6400 on 3dmark 05 :cool:

only 100 more points and i'll have the best score for my spec on the orb :)

LOL I misread that for a x1800xtpe and 6400 on 3dmark 06 and I was like all with a athlon xp 3200! (Didnt know socket a boards had pci-e, obviously not :D )

I've only used the CCC to overclock the GPU at the moment and that's a high as it goes. I'll clock it properly when ATI tray tools allows you to overclock this series of cards and bench again for an improvement hopefully.
Really happy with my CPU overclocks though. Not bad for a first attempt although I must give credit where credits due to volt9291 who gave me the pointers that I needed to acheive this ;)
 
Hawlord, that is a decent CPU clock indeed. Those X2 chips are good, but they don't guarantee an FX speed overclocks like the opterons. Well done getting the most out of it.

By the way i'm up to 11.5k on 3dmark05 now (possibley minimal artifacts, might be paranoia) with the new mod and I definately haven't pushed it as far as it'll go. It's also completely gaming stable (Oblvion, Quake 4, Battlefield 2, C&C Generals) at just under 11k.
 
I dont see the point of having something benchmark stable if its not game stable, it seems like a bit of a lie like OWW look I game at over 11K but really you cant :D

It's not your real score if its not stable is it, the whole point of it is being stable, I cant believe some guys run benchmarks with artifacts then post scores in their sigs as their top score.

Yep, you're quite right. But that is what people do, and unless you qualify it otherwise the assumption is is that you're pushing your hardware to it's limit, not just pushing it till the point of artifact.
 
I am quite pleased actually. I've got a 19' CRT monitor and there is now not a single game on the market that I can't max out with x8AF at my highest resolution, 1600x1200. There is always room for even smoother ride though....not to mention the very justifiable excuse of 'future proofing'.
