Avinexis Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Well I noticed even i7's don't get over 5fps on that CPU test so I feel a bit better about my Quad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJR Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Much better now Bosco Just a question, is anyone going to update the first post (scoring thread) with a list of names and scores so we don't have to go through each post to see where everyone stands?

ir_cow Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) i noticed a few people are using an old version 3dmark06 1.1 is this considered valid for the contest? i would think not since the 1.2 patch was for physx playing the part fort eh CPU test and some other small things that give nvidia the advantage.

Andrewr05 Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Why does orb only allow me to use Forceware 197.45? It says my score is invalid because I have 257.15. Futuremark 3DMark06 approved driver list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Anyone with a single-GPU system older than a year think they actually have a shot at the top 20? If so, post your link here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it looks like people who are showing the score directly from the benchmark are using the older one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Anyone with a single-GPU system older than a year think they actually have a shot at the top 20? If so, post your link here. A volt-modded and LN2 cooled GTX285 or HD4890 could still do pretty well IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 A volt-modded and LN2 cooled GTX285 or HD4890 could still do pretty well IMO. Even still, how many people are going to run out and get LN2 just for this contest? Not everyone has a load of money at their disposal and thus this contest is solely for people with excess money. Virtually every single person in the 3D Mark thread in the Benchmarking section who has a score greater than 25k has multiple video cards and an i7 9xx series processor. There are some exceptions to single card set ups. Basically, anyone who has money to spend will be in the top 20 of this contest if they enter.
