gravy Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 i recently had the chance to test and thoroughally bench one of the new 6xxx series video cards, it was fun, first time i have used a dx9 capable card, details were great but i wanted to share my results somewhat i kept noticing the same relative numbers coming up, benching with bench 'em all using doom3, halo, call of duty, far cry, and ut2004 as well as 3dmark 03 and 05 and aquamark03, not to mention the cs source stress test after completing hours and hours of benchmarking and looking at the results, i decided to pop my ti4200 8x agp 64mb card back in, and my suspicions were realized, my ti4200 was scoring the same or slightly higher as the new card, same drivers, same detail settings, same quality settings, same resolutions, etc.......both video cards were tested in my rig in my sig of cource the newer card was doing it in dx9 mode, not dx8.1, however, this basically only affected image quality, doom3 and halo scores were slightly higher on the new card, but only by 8-10 fps, not enough to call considerable so for any of you dropping or thinking of dropping several hundred dollars in a new gpu, make sure the rest of your system doesn't bottleneck things first, i know most of you guys know this already, and most of you run much better rigs than my celery, but just thought it was worth sharing as it is based on hard facts, like these, just a sample of the bench 'em all results: Benchmark session brief result You can find detailed results here: 6693 driver-6xxx 128mb 8x agp-high perf-no oc-low detail-aa and af off\ ----------------------------------------------------------- Doom 3 Command line: Doom3.exe +set logFile 1 +set com_showFPS 1 +set timescale 7 +set r_mode <res> +playdemo demo1 +wait 1000 +timedemoquit demo1 Custom config file: F:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\DoomConfig.cfg 640x480 not selected. 800x600 not selected. 1024x768 28.7 fps 1280x1024 not selected. 1600x1200 not selected. ----------------------------------------------------------- Far Cry Using Min settings.

InvaderTrax Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Yeah, that Celeron is the obvious weak spot in your system. If you had a P4, you'd see some real differences in those scores. I stuck a 9600XT in with my friends 2.6GHz Celeron and it's good, but no where near as good as it could be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
