3D Mark Score with HD 4870

it is a bit low... i currently score... actually scored* about 18000 w/ mine but... my card now officially sucks in my opinion http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] 70-heating

I also have a faster quad, but that should only inflate the score by about 1 - 2000 points

anywhere in the 15000's to the 18000's is normal with a quad

I get 16k with a 8800gts, so 14.5k with 4870 would be low.


You should list the sm2.0 and sm3.0 scores. The cpu portion affects overall score too much.

4236 is normal for q6600@3.2ghz. That rules out the cpu.

Don't touch the CCC settings or it may mess up your games. It can be done in 3dmark06 itself. In fact, they're off by default.

i realy dont understand... my computer only make 12.2K with 3DMark 2006 and i have Core 2 Duo 6600 and HD 4870 X2


... and i put all configuration for performance.


Not is too low for this video card?


ps.. sry my english


cya

your CPU is holding the card back, you need to overclock or get a quad plus overclock

Yes, the 2 gpus should both work at any resolution. Differences will be smaller at lower resolution, but that result is less than what a single 4870 should get. It's not right.

If you think 3dmark06 is too much affected by cpu score, try other benchmarks, like Crysis timedemo.

Results from a far less powerful 8800gts:

Don't. Gtx280 is a big downgrade from 4870x2. The reason your rig performed so low is because there's an underlying problem, which switching to a single gpu card may not fix. Then you'll end up with even lower performance than now.

4870x2 should blow a 8800gts away. That is the reason I posted the screenshot, so that you're aware there's a problem.

Hardware specs from gpuz looks fine. The only thing I see is what appears to be old driver. Try this:

First uninstall old driver from add/remove programs, reboot, then run driversweeper,

And install new driver.

Look CCC:

thats slow performance in all places is making me crazy ...

see my old Geforce 8800 Ultra more fast the 4870 X2 is sad in resolutions < 1280x1024

That's strange, that gpuz screenshot says it's running on pcie2.0x16.

I think the GPU-Z in showing only my video card is PCI-E 2.0

hehe sry my bad english: "bottleneck" ??

Dagger, i tested now with one Q6600.. the results:


your 8800GTS = 63.1 Max FPs

my 4870 X2 with core Duo 6600 = Max 56 FPS

my 4870 X2 with core Q6600 = Max 57.81 FPS


this still slowww

maybe is the PCI-E 2.0

the 4000 series really dont like 3dmark06...they do much better at vantage.

I have 2x 4870cf, q6600 @ 3.3 and get ~18200 .......pretty sure that this is normal for my setup.

Hey guys, i did 3d mark, i have an e8400 oc`ed to 3.4, hd4870, dfi x38 and 4 gigs ddr2 800, and i got a score of a litle over 11k....which is considerable lower then what you guys are getting....what could be wrong with m setup?

If you get a better cpu it will go up quite a bit. I get over 15k with an old 8800 Ultra.

Hey there I have the following setup and only score 15679 on 3dmark06

Mobo: Asus P5Q SE-R
CPU: Q9400 @ 3.6GHZ
GPU: Asus 4870 512mb (not overclocked 750/900)
PSU Coolermaster 550watt
Ram: 4GB DDR2 800MHZ

What could be the problem then? I thought the 4870 was suppose to be top of the line.
