8800 GTX Score

[triggerthat]

Hi guys,

Am running Vista Business with a Q6600 (3.0Ghz) and a stock 8800 GTX and I am getting 12.3K in 3DMark06. Is this normal?

A friend of mine has a similar setup (using a GTS OC and XP) and gets 14K.

I've got the latest drivers all set to "Let the 3D application decide".

At 3.2Ghz I think (not sure as I've not done a I get 13,200 odds. My GTX is at 630Mhz core, 1630Mhz shader clock and 1000Mhz Memory also.

Oh, and the GTS gets more points in 3dmark than the GTX. I wouldn't worry about that. Bigger resolutions then the GTX is better.

The GTS-512MB is more 3D06 friendly than the 8800 GTX, as 06 absolutely gobbles up raw shader power.

No, its not right, im tested with a 3.0Ghz E6660 and 8800GTX and get 11110.

I'm on about 14½K with single card, and have all options turned off (not application controled) On a Quad 9650 @ stock (3.0) 12.3 does seem a little low with a 3gig CPU

But his score is higher than yours and the only difference between the chips is that his has 3 times as many cores doing absolutely nothing.




Forcing things like Antialiasing off invalidates the results, everything should be default so 3dmark can set it's "normal" values for AA and AiF, or you cannot compare.

I manage just under 15K at 3.5GHz and 626/2000 on the GTX.

 

[Strife212]

The CPU test is multithreaded isnt it? And it makes a large amount of the score.

 

[Skyboat]

There is no AA enabled by default, or vsync etc, and it IS multi-threaded; otherwise we wouldn't see such a vast difference in scores between an Athlon64 and a Core2Extreme CPU.

There's something seriously wrong with my system then.
I got 11K at 3.2GHz on a two core AMD, so should get WAY over 25K on this machine surely, with twice as many core, running faster.

Your quad has made a 4 thousand point difference to your score when compared to your x2 AMD results. That is a fast improvement tbh.

It's not like your mobo, ram or graphics card are going to double your old score just becouse you've switched to a quad.

Yes , thats normal

with a stock q6600 and 8800gts on xp i managed 12206. with the cpu @3.0ghz and vid card @795/1095/2039 i get 15213.
