Hi there guys

I'm scoring 8000 in 3dmark06 with my new Gainward Bliss 8800GT, is this ok for the cpu I'm using. How much can I expect if I upgrade my cpu to a E6850 or Q6600 for example ?

8000 sounds about right to me I have a 6000+ x2 and score 10400. What is you score for the card alone?

Can't remember the card score...will check tonight ! I scored about 5400 with my 7900GT, so I was expecting a bit more.
My 3dmark03 score went up from 12000 to 25000 though.

5400 is high score. I think my score is also arund there will check for just need to find my tread

My pc ocd

My pc standert

Sorry for the semi hijack...I did a 3DMark06 run...and it said I had to get my results online. But it kept giving errors when trying to go to the website. How did you guys get your scores without having to get them online???

without having to get them online???

yes I do

What kind of an answer is that??

Silver, I think it was changed in the new version and the people are using the older version... That or a lite version or something...


I havent used 3dMark in too long due to my system specs, but remember reading something about it...

What kind of an answer is that??

Sounds weird I konw but I get my scores after I run 3dmark. No need to go on the net

He asked HOW, not do you...

That is why I asked...

Maybe give him the version of 3d Mark 06 your have (build) as well as where you gout yours...

Uninstall and install the older version. The new version only allows online scores unfortunately

Sorted! Thanks

Yes it's an older version that doesn't connect.

Yes your score is right because my old 3800+ X2 scored the same and then just changing to the 6400 it went up to 10 600.

My current highest score with my GTS is 10 912.

Miss read. I gave him What I use so lets hope iet works

Ok, so what's weird exactly? I know it's not the greatest of scores but I think it's not too bad.

Thanks guys.
So it looks like I have to do a "small" upgrade then
I'm still running a socket 939 board, so a complete new system is what I need. Might as well move over to the dark side now . Do you think Q6600 or E6850, they're the same price.

I know it's not the greatest of scores but I think it's not too bad

not a bad score at all do you have the new G92 GTS or the old G80?

Just wait a few months and get Penryn

I'm thinking of getting a Q9450 which is the lowest of the 12mb cache quads which will be coming out.

Hoping it will cost about the same as the Q6600

What I did was to get a nice mobo and nice ram and a cheap C2D cpu and when Penryn arrives I'll try flog the C2D and get a nice 45nm Quad

Viceroy have a good point and idee going there maybe you can try that or go for the Q6600 if you want to upgrade now and be done.

It's the old 320mb G80. Don't think the G92 has a 320mb.

Ok, how bout this ?
E6750 - R1700
ASUS P5K - R1450
OCZ Platinum 2GB Kit - R999

And then go for a Penryn later on.

No the G92 doent so that might be why your score ist as high as mine I have a G92 so then your score is good very good. have you oc the card abd cpu? your 6400+ is it the black edition

Looks nice m one friend just git a E6750 and what a great cpu that is where do you wane buy from?

I'm sure you can get an Asus P5K cheaper than that
Is that E6750 a new one. Maybe keep an eye out for an E6420 2nd hand or what about going for a E2160 and overclocking...they're dirt cheap at the moment

Otherwise, thats a good upgrade over what you have now.
