7900GT, is it under performing?

[Monstrousm]

Hey Guys, I built a custom system in July, and I just recently bought new RAM and I decided to test it out.

I downloaded 3dmark06 because i thought it would be a decent benchmark.

I received 4960 3dmarks with this setup:

Is there something wrong with my results or is their anything wrong with my choice of Hardware?

Thanks

All looks good to me. If you are seeing higher scores other places (which you may or may not) you can easily add a few hundred points by overclocking. Many benchmarks you see are from overclocked CPU/RAM/ and GPU.

The main thing is, if you are happy with the performance, you are happy!

About 5000 in 06 seems quite normal.

Man finding your post sure made me feel better about my setup, I felt I was seriously falling behind but compared to your dual core AM2 and faster video card, I'm AOK!

3D Mark 06 = 5,013 with a single 7800GTX
3D Mark 06 = 7,804 with dual 7800GTXs in SLI

AMD FX57
EPoX 9NPA3 SLI
Corsair 2G PC3500 Pro
2 MSI 7800GTX
X-FI Extreme Music
Fortron 700W

Thankey!

4ryan6 are you overclocked at all? Stock score seems really good, but I guess the clockspeed of the GTX's gives a higher score in synthetic benches.

7800GTX has lower clocks than 7900GT.

Oh Yes, and my Vids are as well they've been BIOS flashed, and I hadn't ran 06 since I bios flashed the cards so I just re-ran it with a single 7800GTX and scored 5,664.

And planning on OCing her further once I get my W/Cing put back on her so I can see just what this FX57 can really do.

Dude, you're about right, I get 5238 on a solo 7900gt with a 3800x2 OC'd @ 2.4Ghz.

@ 4ryan6Dude, your setup runs sweet!!!

 

[Xazax310]

I get 4400 on 3D06 with my P4 630 3.0ghz processer, 2.5gb of DDR(400) and my XFX 7900GT( i OCed it to 1700 memory and 570 core) your score seems normal to me nice Processer BTW X2 are really good.

 

[4Ryan6]

You're not AM2 right? Socket 939?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Thanks mate

 

[Mousemonkey]

Oooh yes, Sck 939 currently @2.7Ghz and Sli'ing ever so sweetly, bit of a space heater though but hey winters nearly upon us so it should cut down on the gas bill :lol:

 

[4Ryan6]

What RAM and CAS settings are you running?

 

[Mousemonkey]

I'm using 'ye olde world' DDR 400 Kingston Value RAM @333 divider with the voltage @2.7v and all other settings at Auto.

Here's a screenie Ive just banged off which might tell you what you're asking, 'scuse the laziness but I've had far to much beer tonight to remember WTF most of the settings are :lol:

 

[speedemon]

If you are talkin about 3dmark 05 i have 3800x2 1gig dual channel xms ocd to
2.4 and 480 2.5 2 2 6 That setup gets a little over 9000 with default settings

 

[4Ryan6]

Actually they're talking 3D Mark 06



But since you brought it up.

3D mark 05 single GPU is 9,586

3D mark 05 SLI is 13,738

And

3D mark 03 single GPU is 21,486

3D mark 03 SLI is 34,521
