Yay! Personally i'm impressed . I think having dual core helped a bunch.

3DMark06 Score 4211 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 1745 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 1716 Marks
CPU Score 1465 Marks

1 - Return to Proxycon 13.6 FPS
2 - Firefly Forest 15.4 FPS
CPU Tests
1 - Red Valley 0.5 FPS
HDR Tests
1 - Canyon Flight (SM 3.0) 14.8 FPS
2 - Deep Freeze (SM 3.0) 19.5 FPS


When I did a search and compare I saw that someone had almost identical specs (same cpu speed and graphics card speed) and they got 6238 marks Could this be because they were using a SLI setup?

My results @ stock speeds, stock settings, Basic Edition:

Score: 4257

SM2.0 Score: 1710

HDR/SM3.0 Score: 1710

CPU Score: 1666

X2 4400+, 7800GTX, 2GB RAM. Looks like I've got a "balanced" system

As for 3DMark06, I'm disappointed the basic edition just rehashes the same main 3D tests from 3DMark05. This is the first time 3DMark has done this - usually it's great to see brand new stuff for each 3Dmark release.

The only thing which really impresses me is the Deep Freeze benchmark, that looks incredible and ran quite well on my system.

It IS a bit disappointing isn't it to see the same tests?

My final score: 3927 3D Marks

SM2.0 Score: 1700
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 1695
CPU Score: 1103

I'm very happy with my score, considering some of the other scores you guys are getting. I thought mine would be a lot lower

It's a bit scary how the CPU tests run at like 0 FPS. Why is that?

mine

haha yeah go my awesome 2600+ and 9600XT !!!

Khoroush,

My new rig will have the same CPU and same amount of RAM as you do (check my sig). The difference in the GPU is that I am going for 2 7800 GTX 512MBs in SLI.

I dont know how much more points that will score... I hope it crosses the 5k barrier...

But the way it looks like... it squeezes the hell out of a kick *** rig even. The screenshot that really impressed me was the Canyon Flight test in the gorge with the sunlight shining on the water... HDR at its best... absolutely amazing.

[SortYa]

Yeah the 2 HDR tests look awesome i think. I especially like the snow one, mainly cause it is new heh, but also cause it looks so impressive

I got the BSOD when trying to run the program. This is what came up...

IO system verification error in pcibus.sys WDM Driver Error 224
pcibus.sys+36e at B4B6F36E



Just tried 3DMark05 and got the samething..

[deltd]

That's a shame (I haven't tried to run it yet)

What's your system specs and are you running beta drivers or official releases?

[Dice!]

I got 1583 with catalyst 5.13... Friend got with X850 XT and almost same other specs over 2000.. I though I could have had at least 1800...
