This is with the brand new drivers for ati. This was all under Vista. I dont have the version you have to pay for . System specs: q6600, 1 2900 XT NON OC, 2 gb Geil ultra 1066(currently running at 800 b/c of stock cpu fan). BTW I never did the test with the old drivers so yeah haha. Im not sure what resolution it was running at as my monitor supports 2560x1600 but I think it was 1280x1024? because I didnt pay for it so I dont think it would let me change....

What was your old scores? And do you see any difference in your games?

Then please try and get your facts correct, the 2900XT is set against the GTS not the GTX, that battle was to be fought by the 2900XTX which has yet to make an appearance.

No probs mate, there just seems to be a lot of people making the same mistake recently, what are your 3D '06 scores by the way both standard and OC'd as these may be of interest to the OP and maybe even some others who may wish to see how the 8800GTS stacks up against the 2900XT outside of the review sites, screenies please.

@Romstar you as well, screenies please.

*sigh*..


id jus like to say, GOOD FOR YOU OP =]!!!! what did you oc your cpu to ?

give us some specs please? and oh, dnt mind me if my hd 2950xtx xxx edition with gddr5 beats yours

Pah, I bet my G92 whops the crap outta your 2950xtx xxx edition.

If you dont want to reply to anyone then click your post and reply to yourself

rofl... or just look for the "post reply " button on the bottom of the screen.. 8O 8O 8O 8O

And thats the one ive been using.....i think.
Hence me thinking its weird i kept replying to specific people.
Might be that i just didn't pay attention, getting really tired/bored here at work.

EDIT: Just as i thought i hit the button on the bottom and i replied to jaydeejohn.... :?
It wasn't me not paying attention.

Vista must really kill your system. I get 9700+ total and 2150 CPU with the system in my sig with the 8.37 drivers in XP. A far cry from the 5500 with the exact same system but 2 6800GT OC SLI.

Those drivers are a day older, maturing by the MINUTE!! 8O 8O 8O

In another week maybe you will score 100,000 bungholio marks!

9920 3dmark score

Anyone reckon I could hit 10,000+ if I threw a 2900XT in my machine?

Getting about 5300 in '06 Free version (1280x1024 no AA) atm.

I got the same score with my old amd3700+ and 68gt,s. 8)

Was checking futuremarks site about what rigs hit 10k+ with a HD2900XT, atm its just oc'ed systems and CF ones that hit that (some hit 15kish).
Can't figure out if the card it self is oc'ed or not though.
Wished i could find any E4300 though. =/
But since C2Ds are very clockable i guess you might break 10k.

Oh yeah and many of them used 6.14.10.6683 vers. drivers don't know if the new ones gives a much better result. =)

I say FUD.

DRM does not slow down 3D performance, however DWM (desktop windows manager) which is responsible for Aero does slow down 3D performance. So does the new search indexer, and a few other Vista things. I have the search indexer, security features, and some unnecessary services turned off.

Finally some of the new Nvidia drivers are actually good, I think the only thing they haven't fixed is SLI in DX10.

My 3Dmark scores (stock),

XP, 160.03 drivers - 11406

Vista, 158.42 drivers - 10813

Vista is more stable than XP IMO, however I have not heard of or seen a bug that gives random lines across the screen. Somehow I doubt that is a Vista bug.

Heh heh, I'm hitting about 8300 with a pair of 7900GT's and a 939 3800x2 @ 2.5 ghz. 8) (XP tho')
