Wait for it, Wait for it err I can't wait to say this.
I got 3000 Aquamarks benchies which kind of embarasses me

Neale, buddy, I got 2500.
Now, I know I have a contact who could arrange for a few X800xt's to fall off the back of a truck... where is his number?
I got lotsa everything but my current power supply wouldn't cope with a better card. And my current bank balance.

Hey guys, I'm about to go download AM3, problem is I got Dial-up but no worries, it will be finished downloading by the end of this weekend at the latest

Anyone wanna take a guess at what my pc would get?

Specs are in sig ~ Also got 500W PSU if it make a difference ? prolly not.

Hey! My specs are WAY better than neale's. Why do I get less? Maybe those are my 3d mark 2005 scores I'm thinking about.
(Neale, you'll make millions someday...)

Finished AM3... benchmarked and I got..............29,003! Cpu score was like 8200 and Gfx was 3100 (i think). Anyhow my overall score is 29,003, is that good or bad for my system?

from your 3d mark 2003 score it looks about okay....

I think your 9800SE is holding you back, I got like 30 000 with a 2000+ and Geforce FX5900XT...

Theres not really anything I can do about that now, I only bought this card about 2 months ago so basically im screwed. My pc runs games pretty well id say, besides all my friends all got cards like Radeon 9200's and fx 5200's

Er, well the 9800se is better than a 9200 or 5200 but a 9600XT should beat it any day... But the important thing is that you enjoy your card, no matter what it is I hate benchmark scores anyway, but sometimes my curiousity just gets the better of me and I have to check em out

GOOD???

That's a very good score dammod! I benched mine again this morning after installing the hotfix :

-GFX: 9336
-CPU: 9173

61884

(1024x768 / AF best Quality / highest image quality )

*Should I run this bench @ default settings or did I do it correct? Coz why's my GFX score so low?*

Depends on whos benchies you're comparing with: whether they used your settings or not, but people usually do it on default.

Me finally decided to do a benchie so here goes:
GFX: 450
CPU: 3951
Total: 4271

Whooopppeeeee.... Hope when I get a new pc that it would at least be double that... My 3D Mark05 doesn't even want to run on my pc... Feel a bit

I'm comparing it 2 dammod's coz I also wanted that card but couldn't get it so instead I settled for ATI.

dammod let me know if thats default or what.

Where is Mr bean ... Id love to see what he can do too....

Hmm I hope so, because having the worst computer kinded makes me ummm hmmm put tears in my eyes because my screen is starting to brake grrr and got no money to replace hmm maybe it will be good for music though just a thought

P4 2.6HT
Gigabyte 8IPE1000 board
1 Gig DDR400 RAM
Gainward Geforce 6800 GS
Seagate SATA 120GB
A lot of other stuffs...

510000 Aquamarks (GFX card clocked to manufacturer's rated OC)

I overclocked my CPU to 220 FSB x 11 (3500+ Athlon 64) running with a ASUS A8V Delux Mobo with 2 x Trancend DDR 400 Ram. 120 Gig SATA WD Hard drive and the lovely A400 TDH.... standard 6800 with 128 ram. GPU clocked at 380 and the memory at 800 with the other 4 texture pipelines enabled with rivatuner. In Aquamark I went from 54000 to a lovely 65000 with the GFX score 9400 and the CPU 10350 or something like that.

I know that my cpu can be clocked at 290 FSB x 9 but my memory and cooling won't really help me.

510000 Aquamarks (GFX card clocked to manufacturer's rated OC)

Damn, I'm sure even MrBean would love a score like that!

Done on the system below at least it's a bit better than the 4000 odd I was getting lone ago

Hey OnlyOne, I just re-ran AM3 right now and I got 31783.
Cpu Score: 8501
Gfx Score: 3909
(my 3D Card was OCed, Core 421, Mem 351.)

10 mins after that I re-ran the benchmark with Stock Speeds I got 28426. So I think that when I got 29003 I must have had a SLIGHT OC and not the OC I usually use on my card

So Is my new score any good ?¿

Sorry this is a bit late but yeah, all on default. What are all ur system specs? I am running my whole system on stock. Does the hotfix improve scores?

I am now sitting at:

GFX: 10,254
CPU: 9,322

66,160

Hmmm, OK dude I'm not playing any more...

<Yeah get the hotfix, it's only like 35kb, mine didn't even run without it.>

Rayne what are you getting on AM3 ?
