right 24k, funny how every other test from legitimate sites were 5-7 thousand points off his score

Heheh, the people seemed so gullible it's not even funny.

2.15GHZ you say? 50MHZ shy of the real target.

Keep dreamin'!

that's really a high 3dmark score.
24000. Well, if it would have come from a much known/reliable hardware site. I might BELEIVE IT.
As of today i need more info.

Your post does not even add up. The guy says he was using a MSI KT800. In 3d mark it shows that it was using a ms-6207 which I can not fine on ms web site.

How many "legimite" test of an Athlon 64 have you seen ? None. BTW, these scores where submitted to futuremark, you can browse their results through the ORB. They are valid, and pretty damn impressive.

Does the latest version or any version of CPU-Z have the logo for Athlon 64 built in?

Even if we accept this particular score as valid, I can't see a small processor speed increase getting 6000 3dMarks... That's only gonna happen with a Vid card Upgrade in 3dMark, it's just too much a graphics benchie.

Besides, I though the first A64 was gonna be a 3400+? How could they release a chip with the same rating as an existing one, but which is faster? That would not be good for the ol' PR (if they can do any worse already)..

So what exactly is this chip, as it's <i>not</i> an A643200+? (unless the A64 will be released on a 215Mhz bus, which strikes me as a little unlikely..)

Dont forget that when you overclock these A64 chips, they respond a lot better than a normal athlon xp. The onboard memory controller means that just a minor increase in the FSB can give noticeable increase in performance. That first score was an overclocked A64, but he also did a stock cpu/gpu bench and got 20,000. That in itself is impressive.

For me, thats not too hard to accept. What weve seen so far has mainly been Opteron benches on Opteron boards. A few months down the line and one of the first guys to put a 3200 A64 through its paces reveals its not a bad performer at all. And when overclocked, it yields excellent results.

I hang around that forum quite a bit and I think I'll be there a lot more from now on!

so merely increasing FSB by 7.5% yields an Extra 20% in 3dMArk? I still find that a bit hard to believe...

Though if it responds to Ocing that well, I'm gonna get me one and some watercooling *grins*

Reply to ChipDeath

I am the administrator on the tbreak forums (Hybrid). I can confirm that the benchmarks are 110% real. The CPU has now been handed back to our main tester for normal benchmarks. The overclocking gang on the forums should be getting it back again later today for even more overclocking madness. The haven't even put the prometia cooling system on yet, as the CPU only reaches 39 degrees max on air cooling.

Expect more benchmarks later.

There is no need to doubt the results, they are real.

its a radeon 9800 also overclocked. if youread through the posts the specs are mentioned

Reply to rcj187

>"Besides, I though the first A64 was gonna be a 3400+? "

All rumours seem to point to a 2 GHZ 3200+ and a 2.2 GHz 3400+ release in a few weeks, and then off course the 2.2 GHz Athlon FX (=Opteron) chip, without PR rating.

>"How could they release a chip with the same rating as an >existing one, but which is faster? "

'64' will make the difference. also, don't expect all applicatons to run faster on a athlon 64 3200+ than a Barton 3200+. It has a lower clock, and this will impact some apps.

>"That would not be good for the ol' PR (if they can do any >worse already).."

Yeah, whats gonna be worse, is the the super expensive Athlon FX with its dual channel MC, may well be outperformed by the cheaper Athlon64 in quite a few tests. The reason ? Unbuffered memory. To give just one example, I will eat my hat if the FX 2.2 GHz outperforms the A64 2.2 GHz in Quake3. you may quote me to this in a few weeks.

So what exactly is this chip, as it's not an A643200+?

Its an overclocked 3200+ 2 GHz Athlon 64

No one has address me about the mb. Why does it say a mb is not made. The kt800 is 9#### something and it is saying 6207. If it reads the info right off the mb itself should it not have the correct id number.

You expect 3dmark 2001se to be able to detect A64 mobos????
It says my epox 8RDA3+ board (nforce 2 ultra) is just an nforce mobo and doesnt even pick up the manufacturer. And yes I have the latest version. Does this mean that my score is invalid?

MSI has their signature in their mother boards. All the boards I have from MSI have shown up on 3dmark and pcmark. Even my asus's broads. This just seems kinda fishy to me, seeing the other benchmarks on the fx, this one seem to be a bit high.

Yeah but this is not the FX, its the SINGLE channel memory and LOWER latency version. Some guy I met in another forum gave me the specs of the way these cpus work in relation to their on board memory controller. The single channel A64 has a much lower latency than the FX, and in some apps like 3dmark 2001, this matters just as much than pure bandwith. Overclocking the FSB while keeping these super low latencies gives a huge percentage increase in performance.

I can remember seeing a single channel 1.8 gig opteron getting 16700 3dmarks with a 9700pro stock with just 166mhz FSB and cl2.5 memory. Now with an extra 200mhz cpu speed + 33mhz fsb and CL2 memory + 9800pro, a score of upto 20,000 becomes realistic, and with a 9800pro clocked over 500/390 alone would add 2,800 + to that score and the higher fsb + extra cpu speed while keeping the memory @ cl2 would add at least 1,000 to the score knowing how sensitive 3dmark is to even a normal xp's fsb increase.

Just my thoughts...

And on the mobo recognition issue. I have no idea whats going on there.

Thanks for the info on the cpu. I am liking this a64 more and more I see. To bad he did not do a 3dmark03 test. I would rather see newer benchmarks instead of older test. Also why did he not do one on pcmark or sandra? I would of like to see the result for those test too.

I would never believe anyone who claimed 24K.
It's FAR from attainable in today's systems. Unless he lowered all possibly resolution settings, and lowered his card's Quality settings to Performance.

Kids, grow up. You can be weary of the findings, but instantly labeling Quad's work as fake only missleads the average joe who comes on these forums seeking advice.

Bottom line, everyone will see in a couple of weeks, so I'd be careful what you post.

Even if it existed, it only proves 3dMark 2001 as NOT TRUSTABLE!

3dM 2001 is notorious for being so CPU sensitive while its actual goal is to determine overall GRAPHICS SUBSYSTEM performance.

Now, the highest score on a normal high-end setup, is 17K. The 3200+ (Barton) achieves about 16000. Now how can a CPU 2GHZ less, but with a mem controller, actually do 24000 is truly asking for proof from other sites. I am not saying it's a lie, but I am far from ever convinced. It's like if I told you I got a sample of the new Radeon 10000 and it does 10 000 points in 3dMark 03. Hardly possibly believable yet.

Ok, lots of misinformation here.

3DMark 2001 is CPU sensitive because it is not merely a GPU benchmark but one as a direct synthetic in measuring gaming performance. This is where 3DMark 03 fails as it is entirely GPU bound.

Quads score is legit. I suggest you check out the original thread which answers many questions here. Some facts for you:

1. The MSI MS-6702 is a real board but unreleased as of yet.
2. Its a Socket 754 Athlon 3200+ operating @ 10x200.
3. The Radeon 9800Pro is cooled via phase-change and is operating in the vicinity of 530 / 400 in terms of clockspeed, far higher than default (380 / 340).

It scored 20,700 default, roughly 900 points above a Pentium 4 3.2's capability.

Eden, I suggest you check the ORB (Futuremarks Online Result Browser) before you claim 24,000 is impossible, as 26,000 has been achieved already. A Barton 3200+ will score 18,300 default with a 9800Pro, FYI.

In regards to issues of 'trust':

You will have to understand that t-break.com is more trusted than Toms, as are most independents. THG is known as an Intel-biased site for reasons valid and invalid. Noone forgot about the Photochopped P4 '3.6' and thats not going to change. Only [H]ardOCP has a worse reputation than THG.

Agreed. Lets wait and see what the chip does when its released.

What I don't get is everyone trashing the benchmark, I hope AMD puts out a killer chip, that will put the pressure on Intel, Lower prices, better products all around. I hope we start to get some competition. Stop the pissing contests its pointless in an industry that cycles every 6 months.

I really hope this isn't coming from opposing site adversity. For a good while, THG has been labelled AMD biased, you're one of the first I hear who says otherwise.

The goal is to measure GPU performance and it does that right. We can argue this here but the Graphics Forum is more adequate, as you will get a more general opinion. IMO and to many, it's best if it WAS GPU bound.


All right, for the sake of being open-minded, I'll wait. The 2.2GHZ Athlon 64 FX better score a straight 24000, no more no less. If it doesn't, then I see you'll be much less credible to most here. If it DOES score this unbelievably high score due to a higher core IPC (take a 2.2GHZ AXP vs a ~20% higher IPC 2.2GHZ A64), I'll concede and even act a forum buffoon being all nuts over this performance. But that doesn't dictate real life performance. 3dMark 01 is all too low on credibility. Look at how the Ti4600 scores so close to a 9700PRO when the 9700PRO spanks it in real games.

Bah, no harm done, I'll wait!
