*The Official Tech-Forums 3DMark06/03 Rankings*

Re: The Tech Forums Official 3DMark06/03 Top List

ok, So I am going to run a bench on the Q9550 soon to see how it stacks up to the E6750 on 3DMark '06.... Man, that 6100's score seems so low compared to the others, lol.... It WAS on XP x64 though, and the drivers for the GPU were giving me all sorts of trouble before....

I guess my goal on XP 32 is to beat 10,000.... going to do a stock bench, then I MIGHT try some mild OC's, AFTER I post up about a bazillion pics to Facebook that I have been behind on...

oh man those 3dmark scores are impressive!!

core i7 is in trouble my friends.

nah.. i don't think so.. core i7 4.0ghz with 2 gtx 260's got about 27k.... i don't see where the trouble is

and that was with a 4870x2.... 3dmark loves ati more than nvidia ;)

i'll show you the real results soon enough!

interesting i7 vantage results

Some interesting food for thought for you guys on what gains Core i7 has actually made.

Two systems both with clock speeds of 3.30GHz, one with a Core i7 Extreme 965 coupled with 6GB the other a Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9650 with 8GB.

Both systems used 3x Nvidia GTX 280 graphics cards on benchmarks where the CPU should be the limiting factor.

Have a look at these babies:

QX9650 @ 3.30GHz

i7 965 @ 3.30GHz
===================

A good little comparisson, thought it may be interesting to see what a decent clocked Core 2 rig scores with similar hardware and what it would take to match the i7 3.30GHz...

QX9650 @ 4.20GHz
===================

Even at 4.20GHz the Core 2 is still bottlenecking the graphics cards in Tri-Sli. The Core i7 gear although pricey certainly has Core 2 beaten.

From the results above to get a similar GPU score in Vantage with Core 2 as the i7 rig the Core 2 would have to be clocked at 5.10GHz or beyond.

965 i7 @ 3.30GHz

QX9650 @ 4.20GHz
==============

Same sort of results with DMC4 benchmark.
1920x1200 - 16xQ - Vsync off - 60FPS Disable - All on Super High (Maximum Settings)

Keep in mind that the 3.30GHz i7 chip I have here can do 3.93GHz quite easily on a Akasa Nero cooler and 4.00GHz when the volts are really flying.

Finally they have brought something to the table. This is going to make things interesting.

dam i want one bad. i knew cpu botle necks still existed with our modern gpus and evryone is like no your crazy games dont matter about your cpu. i need to save a lil cash and get me oen of these but i need the nikon d90 first.
 
Re: The Tech Forums Official 3DMark06/03 Top List

Well tbh the setup is tri-sli GTX 280..not surprising there's no GPU bottleneck there..
