First benchmarch with my new C2D E6700 at stock speed 2.66GHz, not OCed yet.

8600GTS at 775 MHz core, 1099MHz RAM

3DMarck06: 6266

No doubt the E6700 beats the

out of my D945 ;)

Yay! I figured 6.5 and pushing 7k with an oc.

This is where 3DMark is valuable imo, it can give u a comparible estimate of what u`r pc is like compared with others, and (afaic) I can look at what people have and roughly guestimate what an upgrade can do for them.

I reckon u could push 6.7/8k with oc, and tbh that`s very impressive when u consider not all 8800 setups go past 9k.
 
wow vista is bad for 3DMark2006 benchmarking.... I only got 6119 with the E6700 oced at 3.0GHz and the 8600GTS at 775/1099MHz core/ram...

that sucks a bit compared to the score I had in XP without ocing the CPU!!!

Ok I'm new to using 3Dmark06 but i've just ran the default series of tests and got 8631.. From what i've been reading of other peoples scores, that seems a bit high?

Not overclocked yet either.
 
For an E6600 rig with 8800, 8.6K doesn`t seem high to me.

An E6700 rig with 8600, ~6K is fair - give or take 100 marks on a difference in OS isn`t anything to have qualms about tbh.

Ahh ok cool.. First test yesterday hit 8904 as follows:

3DMark Score 8631 3DMarks

SM2.0 Score 4138

HDR/SM3.0 Score 3996

CPU Score 1860

Will post when overclocked

edit:

Oc'd E6600 up to just under 3ghz and got

3DMark Score 9363 3DMarks

SM2.0 Score 4263

HDR/SM3.0 Score 4033

CPU Score 2415
 
Ok so getting close to my upper limit.. By that I mean i'm happy with the set up so will stop trying to get more out of it soon.

First test yersterday:

3DMark Score 8904 3DMarks

SM2.0 Score 4232

HDR/SM3.0 Score 4026

CPU Score 2002

Test from tonight pre-overclock of GFX card which made score worse, and also before lowering RAM timings which will make score about 50 points better.. Will run that tomorrow:

3DMark Score 9682 3DMarks

SM2.0 Score 4269

HDR/SM3.0 Score 4041

CPU Score 2796

How did you get the 8800GTS to 655mhz? :eek:

Dunno... Just seems to go there and sit happily enough.

I've put the fan up to 100% manually rather than on auto which dropped the temp by about 5 degrees.. Massive difference really.

What would happen if you put yours up to that?

Is that respectable for my system? :)

No idea.. I'm useless when it comes to ATI gfx cards and also only just got my first Intel chip so only really know about the C2D's.

I'm sure someone more clever than I shall help.

What program did you use to up the fan speed?

Im interested, wanna see how far I can push mine!

@Sam - whats your GPU again? Its a X1900, yess?

Then I would say that is a pretty good score! :D
