New vid card installed

[Platinum]

Finaly got my XFX 6800 GT , ran 3dmark 2k1 and 2k3 and got the following scores :

2k1 : 18000
2k3 : 9930

Seems a little low to me?

System specs are as follows :

Shuttle SN45G
2500m @ 2.5GHz
1GB Kingston HyperX PC4000
SATA card
2x HDDS
Onboard Sound

The 2001 score seems a little low, but thats not really a benchmak benchmark nowadays though. I should imagine your 3dmark03 score has roughly doubled from your 9700? Has it? I would say thats a very nice little number . You can find out easily, just compare it it to other ORB users who havnt clocked the card.

I have also noticed the card is loud, thought these were supposed to be low noise?

I got a rig running a XP-M an GT too.

With XP-M @ 2.3 and card at stock I got 19387 (3d01) and 10406(3d03)

With XP-M @ 2.6 and card at 414/1150 I got 22453

couldnt complete 3d03 at 2.6 due to a bad PSU but:

With XP-M @ 2.3 and card @ 414/1150 I got 118825

So with 2.6 and overclocked card I think I could well into the 12000's. Sure the card will go further too, it did those speeds straight out of the box basically with no effort, sure it'd go higher. Seen a lot of these GT's clocking well.

whats the point in using 3dmark both ati and nvidia tweak their drivers to get more out of 3dmark, may aswell use the benchmarks in todays top games and then you will see what your card does.
