ATK Benchmark Competition

[Isphera]

OK, no prizes for this one, but just for the lols and bragging rights for the winner, here comes a benchmark test. I can have several tables set up for different benching programs, but I'd ideally like to only use 3DMark06 and 3DMark Vantage.

Please also post screenshots as proofs.

3DMark Vantage


Oricalcos - P17673
Phantom - P14487
Col. Mitch - P14404
VoX - P14370

3DMark 06


Phantom - 20428 3DMarks
Col. Mitch - 19556 3DMakrs
Orix Lappy - 965 3DMarks

This thread will end in thousands of atk pounds gone and the community will be no better off :D

[VoX]

Hmm, have been tempted to get back into OCing and this might be my reason. I know with my GCard OC (to GTX285 speeds) and my CPU @ 3.5Ghz I get ~15000 in Vantage. Will push both a bit further when I get time and see what I can score :).

[Colonel Mitch]

No going to enter as cba with messing with my pc when its working.

Gets around 15kin 3d mark 06 tho - gt 17400 or summi @ i31 - check the vid. thats better than i can get now.

[Target]

lol dnt get mitch started on this again he spent the whole of i31 OCing :D

[Isphera]

Just bench your current systems without OC'ing. It's nice to see where everyone is at in relation to the community.

And my laptop is fail.

[Calneon]

I agree with Oric, just post your normal systems.

[Isphera]

I'm not saying don't post OC system. I'm just saying I wouldn't bother OC'ing for something like this. If you want to do it, I can't stop you.

[Colonel Mitch]

i think i get around 15k with my current system. in 06

If only the 8 was a 7 :P. I just ran this, didn't even close down chrome or foobar2000, could go higher.

From my previous OCing a while back.

[Isphera]

Here's some bad news for you guys. I just ordered my new rig :D

[Calneon]

Scheisse!

[VoX]

What GCard you end up going for? 5870?

[Isphera]

Yeah. Fuck nVidifail after bum rimming us for 6 months, only to be forced to give us a release date when 500 FB fans basically said screw you in about half an hour.

I'll put the final spec up on my blog in a sec (http://addendaprovided.blogspot.com/).

[Colonel Mitch]

downlaoded vantage trial edition...

No overclocking jsut running everything on standard.

Why is your CPU so much higher than mine? Grr i'm going to have to try and beat you now!

[Target]

Could bench my heap of crap laptop, although it may embarass my pc on cpu :S

[Calneon]

Turns out I didn't have PhysX turned on. Much better now :). What clock was your GTX280 when you did yours VoX?

[Colonel Mitch]

@ u two guys (phantom and vox) How come i get 1.5k more GPU points than you with my cheaper ATi card ;)

[Vicious Horizon]

Hm, I don't think I could work that out Piers. Perhaps we should look at the manufacturers?

[VoX]

Turns out I didn't have PhysX turned on. Much better now :). What clock was your GTX280 when you did yours VoX?

Indeed, PhysX ftw.

Was at 285 clocks there (648/1476/1159) was getting Driver errors if I pushed any further (pretty sure it was the core causing me probs) and I was starting to get temperature limited (85C or so, was still rising and I pussied out haha) as well as voltage I guess.


When I get spare time again I'll give the whole clocking a go again, hell I got 3.2Ghz on stock volts and it only took 1.38v to get 3.5Ghz, I reckon I could hit 4Ghz temperature permitting (Should be alright in that respect with the TRUE :p)




Mitch, not sure but I have a niggling feeling that 3DMark is ever so slightly biased one way, although iirc it was towards ATI..?

You sure Crossfire is enabled and the clocks aren't throttling? an X2 should beat a GTX280 by a 100-1000 points or so.

[Colonel Mitch]

Just turned Catalyst Contol centre off force performace mode (16x AA etc) so 3d mark can run at standard settings instead and got these results....

still nothing overclocked at all..

Well, now im beating your gfx by a good bit more than that still without any overclocking ;)

Im gunna have to see how much differecne overclocking my processor does....

DAMN YOU ORIC LOOK WHAT YOUVE DONE......

[VoX]

That's better mitch :p.

[Target]

HAHAHAHHAHA I knew this would happen you just can't help but wanting to fiddle with your pc even when its not try to kill itself for once XD

[Isphera]

Looks like i've unleashed the beast :D

[Colonel Mitch]

Got fed up before i got any imporvement stable.

CBA with overclocking takes so long for pc to start up lol.

Also - note how the stock 4870x2 provides borderline playable framerates in those tests whereas the nvidia £lol cards just cant cut the mustard ;)

The 4870x2 is better than the GTX280. *golfclap*

[Colonel Mitch]

im sure when u got your 280s they were more expensive than a 4870x2 :P

Also the difference between an i7 920 and Core 2 E8500 in cpu tests is lol....

My GTX280 was £210 1.5 years ago. I also do lots of rendering and encoding so an i7 makes sense.

Like Phantom, my GTX280 was £210 just under a year ago, wheras 4870X2's were going for around £250-260.

[Colonel Mitch]

Just did some benchmarks with my new AMD PHENOM

Got these without overclocking card or processor.

I like how my processor gets 5x your processor's score xD.

[Colonel Mitch]

we all know it doesn't quite work like that :P

[VoX]

Unfortunately PhysX is playing a small part there Phantom haha

[Calneon]

Nah, it's obviously because my CPU is five times better than Mitch's.

Oh, and damn nice score, get overclocking that processor!

[Isphera]

CBA - does me nicely as is, so don't see the reason to.
