Try using the same settings as we did and then see what score you would get with your x2..

I still don't get why people still use 3D Mark 06.

I got higher than that with my Q6600 at 3.96Ghz and my 3870X2.

That should be enough to show you that it's not a benchmark that'll provide consistent numbers.

Presuming the settings in that compare link are accurate, I think it's safe to say that that score may be a little loaded in this comparison.

Edit: Late!

Oh I know, my point though is that even at the same settings, people get similar scores with cards that are a lot faster.

I don't actually have an X2 any more, I've got 2 4850s now.

I think 06 is very consistent, until you factor in the CPU score, where quads can rip duos to bits and give you a whopping score even if the systems are similar. Using similar CPU's then 06 is spot on IMO.

My 3dmark06 with pc all stock scores around
16600
cpu clocked to 3.6 scores
19200 or so
my 4870 x2 with cpu at 3.6 scored
19700
I only have the re5 demo and just ran the benchmark
dx10 all maxed and x4 AA 1680x1050 scored
102.6 fps with pc stock clocks.
Hope that helps.

Cheers for that, I actually got a higher 06 score than you, so maybe its just vantage casing me issues, I'll try the RE5 bench in a bit.

Is that with your CPU as in sig? I have some major vantage issues if your score is legit. :eek:

johny dolan · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:10

Yes my cpu is the intel qx6800
using vista 64 sp2
drivers from ati site

I think I may reinstall my OS, its on a corsair SSD so wont take long, that vantage score has really threw me.

RE5 bench came back with an average of 77 so...not so good. Either its the OS, the card, or CPU, have to narrow it down.

johny dolan · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:23

Just run my 3dmark06
pc all stock speeds
default benchmark
scored 16623
Maybe what we are seeing is the difference between vista and win7.
Dont forget these are new cards and the drivers will get better over time.

RavenXXX2 · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:25

Johny could you possibly put a screen up of your RE5 result, just for me to make reference to.

Tol247 seems to have no problems in W7...

Go here http://imageshack.us/ click on browse and then navigate to your screen shot, make sure your pic is under 1mb so resize it in paint if you have to and save it as a jpeg if it is not already one.

Once you have selected your pic, click on upload, after its uploaded copy the hotlinks for forum 1 link, paste it here.

Well TOL247, I hit around 20500 in 06, so it looks like it maybe just vantage.

asoxedri · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:47

what settings are you guys running the tests at?

BananaDunka · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:52

I would have expected more?

My GTX260 gets:

I don't change any CPL settings, some people set everything to performance in ati/nvidia control panel which is cheating....

RavenXXX2 · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:58

You have physx enabled, inflating your score, I still score more than 3k than you under the GPU score, god knows if this is right or not.

asoxedri said:

stock 06 settings, performance vantage setting, and 1680x1050 max settings with any other benchmarks
