Sorry if I'm thread *****ing, I'm a little excited bout this topic; besides January is a slow month for my business so I spend a lot of time on the PC.
As some of you already know, (5 threads on this subject) I bought and benched the 7800 GT yesterday. On the current setting of 450/1.05 the Card did 7100 3dmark 05 so its not too bad - again however, I am looking for more performance.
This morning, I woke up a little upset that I wasn't getting the performance I want to get, 9000+ 3dmark 05 scores. Preferably I want to get up there with the big boys without going to an AMD chip.
Strange thing about Aquamark 3 was my score was only a measly 69,781 I was at the 66,000 margin with my 6800 GS card OC'ed at 525/1.2 - Is aquamark tailored towards the AMD users? because my CPU scores seems awefully low 8,900 margin.
My system specs in detail are.
Fresh install of Windows XP Service Pack 2
WD SATA 200 GB Harddrive
PQi PC5400 2 GB of memory.
P4 640 @ 3.54 Ghz - 220 FSB stock voltage for mem/cpu. DDR memory timing are stock also.
On the benches, no unneccessary software was running, just the benchmark programs.
Aside from the weird Aquamark3 scores, I am not a bit concern about stability of my system.
Is my scores for Aquamark3 normal? for an Intel CPU?
What kind numbers can I expect in 3dmark05 with the GTX card?
Thanks in advance.
