Hey post your 3d mark scores here (i will after it finishes downloading) Oh and kalimwe dont want to see anything under 20k for you

**pharoah** · 07-19-2007, 05:50 PM

my score is 8046 i bet it will be higher in a few months when i do a platform upgrade.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 06:31 PM

3942 could the lowness be because of the psu?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 06:53 PM

4036 after alittle gpu overclock =) i think the cpu is dragging me down

**TheMatt** · 07-19-2007, 07:27 PM

I got 868 in 3DMark03.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 08:33 PM

lol i got 4050 after alittle more overclock =)

**TheMatt** · 07-19-2007, 08:34 PM

I hope to post after I get an 8600GTS in my new rig.

@ 1 g0t 0wn3d: A PSU upgrade will sometimes actually increase performance. I would look at a good 600+w for your card. The OCZ GameXtreme 600w and 700w power supplies are a good deal.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 08:39 PM

What do you think would give me enough for a 8800 gts? would an 650 trio handle? i might just do what that other guy did with thermaltake purepower 250 watt gpu PSU that powers his 8800 gtx.

**TheMatt** · 07-19-2007, 08:42 PM

No, the Antec Trio is just short. the Antec Quad 850w will handle 8800GTS cards in SLI, but it is a little pricey. Take a look at the Silverstone 750w for a good deal or the PC Power & Cooling Quad 750w for a top-of-the-line processor. I will be getting the PCP&C 750w for my computer.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 08:49 PM

Well ill drive the clock speed up on the 7900 just for the test following someones instruction online.

**TheMatt** · 07-19-2007, 08:51 PM

You are kind of cutting it close with that processor and graphics upgrade. I would check your voltages after OCing to see if they are within range.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 08:54 PM

I know that was what i was doing they stayed the same as normal at load, however i wont be going any higher since the card hit 66c at load with the smaller overclock (i dont like high temps)

**TheMatt** · 07-19-2007, 08:56 PM

That is actually pretty good. A lot of the X1950 series cards got up to 80 degrees under load and sometimes even higher.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 08:57 PM

But i like it low it is normally at 55c underload.

**TheMatt** · 07-19-2007, 08:58 PM

Thats very good.

Maybe other people would like to post their scores?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-19-2007, 09:22 PM

I cant decide what i want a new psu or a case with more fans =( mine only has one 80mm outake....

okay player · 07-20-2007, 08:59 AM

Just ran it for the first time ever... 4453.
I'm assuming you guys are running these tests in the LCD's native resolution?

In any case, I was pretty shocked to see the CPU tests in action. It was the worst slideshow I'd ever seen... 0 FPS for the duration, and moved up to 1 towards the end (wowow). I thought an E6400 would perform better than this?

edit: NCIX (who put together my computer) did a 3dmark06 test as well at the time it was built and got a score of 5242... :( what happened? only thing I have changed is drivers.

**TheMatt** · 07-20-2007, 10:31 AM

What graphics do you have and how much system RAM do you have?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 07-20-2007, 10:52 AM

MY ram stayed at 40% through the test...,also you have to note that vista screws with your score
