6800nu benchmark scores???

Daewood · 01-21-05, 01:35 AM

I have a 6800nu 128meg 256bit vid card with the extra 4 pipes unlocked and a moderate overclock from 325/700 to 360/770 and my 3dmark01 scores are around 11k to 12k at the most... I dont understand why this supposedly newer card is doing to horible int that benchmark and in the 03/05 benchies it is right up to par i say this because my 9800se non softmod could do 15k in 01 when oced, but it only did 3.5k in 03 where as the 6800 does 9k in 03

this is really buggin me...

3dMark01 was very cpu intensive which could be why you are getting a low 01 score. I scored 17612 when I had my card unlocked but i also had a slightly higher oc on it. Mine was 390/787. I was using a 2.3ghz amd cpu though.

Have you done a full reformatt or atleast a driver cleaner? Your score is 1/2 what it should be. Most likely its a software related issue.

Does it run great in new games? If so don't let that old benchmark bug ya...

3dmark01 scores are all very low with this new generation of cards. I went from like 22000 with my 9800 pro down to 15000 with my 6800gt. Don't worry about it.

My 6800nu scores very low in 3dmark2001se as well, but after overclocking it (430/850) I can get 11,375 in 3dmark03 and 4,915 in 3dmark05. I don't worry about 01 anymore.
