7900Gt SLI Question

[wtk pro l]

why do people run 3Dmark 05 when theres 3Dmark 06....?

because it takes around 20 minutes to download a futuremark program. and i am famlair with what are good scores for 3dmark05 and i do not know the whole scoring procedure on 3dmark06. all i know is that 3dmark06 counts the cpu test as your total score as the previous ones havent.

'06 also tests dual-cores...but this thread is getting off-topic now.

Get ready for a really crawling frame rate. It's a rough benchmark.

Naw, my 7800 gt doesn't give it a crawling frame rate, so his should not. 15 frames per second is enough to make it not that choppy.

Ahh, that would make sense. My x800 XL gets torn a new one. The x700 pro before that...well...I don't wanna talk about it.
