in what aqua or 3dm06

that would be a world record breaker of 3dmark06, cause the world record is 24,011 which is done with....

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 @4982MHz at 1.7V, Dragon evo 2.2 (liquid nitrogen)
eVGA nForce 680i SLI
GeForce 8800 GTX SLI (@ 862MHz/2200MHz)
Corsair Dominators, 332MHz
Silverstone 850W

Aquamark crashes! It's got some sort of bad multi threading. Continual error. Can't get a score from the damn thing. :)

that would be ddr2 664 in actually, and the reason for lower speed was to tighten timings.

i think its still a misconception that frequency speed, like ddr2 800 runs at 400mhz, is WAYY faster than ddr400 running at 200mhz. but.. its not. it is faster yes, but often not as night and day difference as people think seeing as how most ddr2 800 modules have pretty crappy timings of 5-5-5-15 or 4-4-4-12, and ddr400 is as low as 2-2-2-5

compare really loose timed ddr2 800 (3-3-3)ram to very tight timed (note: frequency deprived) ddr400 ( 2-2-2 or so) and you'll see that ram's actual speed depends highly on timings, not frequency.

for your viewing pleasure....

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2741&p=5

as you can see, ddr400 is very close for the most part to ddr2-677, which is also not far behind ddr2-800.

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2741&p=4

But please, if im out to lunch, someone correct me. cause it wouldnt be the first time i've been wrong, and im sure it wont be the last.
rather be told than to continue to be mistaken.

No screen capture software, but on my dual, "single" core xeon 3.4ghz w/HT with 4gb ram and a Nvidia Quadro FX 540, I got;

GFX 3225
CPU 9629
overall 27628

I am going to install a beefier quadro card and re-run. Back in a sec...


OK, swapped the quadro FX 540 for a quadro FX 1400, re-installed the drivers and...

GFX 7188
CPU 9573
overall 52258

not sure why the cpu went down but ~4000 mark improvement over the old card, not too bad and the overall score up 25000, not too bad...

Next test, this crappy dell dimension 2400 that I am using right now...

OK scratch the previous remark. I refuse to run aquamark on my dimension 2400. The first test was running no faster than 2.3 fps and the second test was at 1.3fps. I hit escape, because I would like to get some work done today. If i remember I will fire it up when I leave for the day and _maybe_ it will be done by the time I come in tomorrow.

OK, After Bucko reminded me of my "noobness" I have a pic of the second run with the Quadro FX1400;

all aquamark does is test your system and give you a score right? if i run it it won't push it past any kind of limits will it?

basically is it safe to run on a crappy computer and it won't screw up the system?


EDIT: i downloaded the freeware version and tried it and once its completed the last test it closes the program. any ideas why?

I'm running 2 gigs of OCZ Ram, an AMD 4600+ dual core. And a BFG 7950 GTX2. So the first 3dMark Score is with the card split to both screens. In the second the card's full power is sent to one screen. (I thought the difference was interesting)

I used ATITool to overclock the card. It found the max core speed to be 785 and the max memory to be 1175, but I found them to be unstable at those speed so reduced to the ones listed in the previous post. They seem to run fine at those speeds, but of course the watercooling helps by keeping it under 45'C @ full load.

ATITool can be downloaded from Here (http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/), I personally find it to be by far the best tool to OC GPU's.

Hope this helps,

Can anyone say Celerons suck? I have my E2140 set up with 3 monitors (2x20" Samsungs running off the 8600GT and a 19" widescreen running off the onboard video) and I so longer get the lag and stuttering on movies when watching them on one screen and surfing the net on the other like I did before with the Celeron.

My gaming machine with an E6600, 2Gb of RAM and an 8800GTS still rates better (as you would expect):

I can probably overclock further just for benching but this Q6600 doesn't like high clocks and low voltages.

Windows doesnt read all 4gb's though. I heard that if you turn off your pagefile that windows will see the rest of your ram. I tried it and it still didnt recognize the extra ram. A 64bit os seems to be the only way to take advantage of the extra ram.

Ok, I decided to finally test my rig with this aquamark program. My goal was 100k.

Here's my 1st run on stock clocks:
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/test1.jpg

2nd run, I overclocked the graphics card. Stock is 650/800.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/nvidia1.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/test2.jpg

3rd run, I overclocked the CPU from 2.00 to 2.41 and the rm from 667 to 804.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/cpu-z.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/cpu-z2.jpg

Now another run:
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/test3.jpg

4th run, I overclocked the graphics card a little more.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/nvidia2.jpg

And another test:
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/gigaglytch/test4.jpg

5th and Final test, this is right after a restart:

So I didn't hit 100k, but I think that's pretty good for some budget hardware. Specs:

i was wondering how the 8600GT compares to a 7600GT. some people where saying it was better, though it might have been the 7900GT vs a 8600GT. how much was all that? so far i have spent 1600 (includes g15, mx rev mouse, case, lights, heatsinks, etc.) but mine is going to be a high end so right now its a hybrid?

My Latest 3DMark06: (vista)
13688 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4535721) - 3Dmark reads my GTX clocks amazingly wrong!

I really need to try more at clocking this, No idea what people get in Aquamark with Q6600s and 8800GTXs...

I might tweak a bit and see if i can push anything else out of it. Its only at 3.2GHz now the 3DMark was at 3.5GHz or something like that. And i'm not sure on my GTX clocks.

OK so after some tweaking.

A 8800GTX now sits at 660MHZ Core. 1500MHz Shaders, 2GHz memory :D If i hit 666MHz core, it artifacts! Not before atall, but hit 666 and it's doomed.
I upped my CPU a little for this, but it's still a bum that doesn't like clocking up.

So Aquamark from 164,222 to a nice new.

If this has already been done, i apologize. Truth is, i just wanted to share my happy overclocking scores tonight. My GPU never overclocked before, but.. seems with my new drivers, is putting a smile on my face.

i just reinstalled vista 64bit again, with 3dmarkvantage shortly to follow.

NOTE: i know these benchmark arent accurate to real life performance, and honestly, i dont put much faith in them. I was just amazed with my score increase just by overclocking what i had. so, in a way, this is a "post your overclock/screenshot of vantage score" thread.

post original clock and score, and then overclocked clocks, and screenshot of score.

my original score with stock speeds was 7351.

Core2Duo E8400 @ 3.00ghz, 9 x 333 1.3125 Volts (32 Idle, 54 Load)
8800 gts 512 (g92) 670/972 43C idle, 59 Load 45% fan

It lets the GPU handle some of the physics processing. The newer nvidia drivers for 8000 series and newer allow for physx. Turning it off will bring your score down a nice amount.

bartvandenberg
02-11-2009, 08:24 PM
i dont see how that makes a score invalid. isnt that the point. having driver updates gettin better performance?

since vantage only works directx10, you can only use 8 or 9 series cards no? so, anyone can get the higher score with newer drivers. so, i dont have an "edge" on anyone.

but.. either way, it doesnt matter. the point of my post was to show how much of a difference just some overclocks made, and tryin to get other to post the same idea. stock vs overclock.

The problem is, you cant really call a score invalid because of driver updates. The point is, im using the same hardware in both scores.

Please note that this result does not comply with the rules defined in the Driver Approval Policy for 3DMark Vantage and will not be visible on default result search on the ORB or on the Hall of Fame. Please ensure that you are using approved display drivers and system software versions provided with 3DMark Vantage or use the "Disable PPU" option.

This is a valid score:
http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=576902&resultType=19

It should be noted that my MSI 9800GTX+ has a slight factory overclock (amusing, because I paid for a 'generic' card).

The problem is, you cant really call a score invalid because of driver updates. The point is, im using the same hardware in both scores.

The problem is more the fact that only NVidia cards support GPU PhysX, therefore it's unfair to have the GPU do the CPU tests.

Using new drivers isn't the problem, it's the extra feature they introduced to them which unbalanced things.

The problem is more the fact that only NVidia cards support GPU PhysX, therefore it's unfair to have the GPU do the CPU tests.



Ha Ha Ha thats what you get you buying a ATI card. all is fair in love and war. besides arn't these tests supposed to reflect real world Performance benchmarks??? no point in lowering the bar just so the competition doesnt feel so bad about being ripped off.

The tests are meant to reflect real world performance, however, there is a slight problem. Not many games support PhysX, but if you use a PPU, your test isn't invalid because both an NVidia and an ATi system can have it. They're trying to balance things out so they're on fair ground.

However, after they first announced that NVidia's PhysX compatible drivers would be banned (even though you can disable PhysX), it became unbalanced again because ATi could always get their latest drivers certified, but NVidia couldn't. It took a month or 2 before futuremark allowed NVidia's latest drivers, providing that PhysX was disabled.

btw, if you're wondering why ATi doesn't have PhysX support, there is a couple of factors involved in this. One is the factor that there is a lot of red tape around this (NGO HQ originally was porting PhysX for ATi use) and the other factor is ATi was apparently getting Havok accellerated on their GPUs (which hasn't happened at all). I'm hoping that as OpenCL (Not OpenGL) matures, NVidia will port PhysX over to OpenCL (doubtful) and there will be compatibility over the cards.

when I run Aquamark I get this error right after the big explosion in the "massive overdraw" segment
