I'm real picky about stability in any case, spent about a week solid running tests on my current config to verify stability.

Thats odd that it keeps failing.... I have never had that happen, only fails audio/video compression when i dont give the proc enough juice and its running above 4ghz.

Try to take it

I can always try and clock higher.

I did the benchamarks with Hyperthreading enabled/disabled. Everything runs faster with HT enabled except 3dm06, which is actually slower.

3dmark05 cpu score - HT on/off: 4413/4267
3dmark06 cpu score - HT on/off: 814/1015
3dmark05 score - HT on/off: 4445/4391
3dmark06 score - HT on/off: 1913/1972

And finaly one real world benchmark - Blender rendering
Download test.blend (101 KB): http://www.eofw.org/bench/test.blend...322789d0f9d686
and SSE2 optimized Blender (11.8 MB): http://www.graphicall.org/builds/bui...on=show&id=419
It doesn't need to be installed and it uses its home dir only. Just extract the archive and run.
Open test.blend, set Threads to 2 and hit F12.

My render time is 1:54.80.

BTW, the weather here is hot too. Todays temps are ~35°C, should be 38 tomorrow. I have 28°C in my room right now and it's getting hotter

my latest 3Dmark scores are in my siggy. i haven't run these benches ever since i first got my x1950pro. i haven't run it w/HT turned off though. i also need to run the tests you provided me.

is it allowed to disable postprocessing in 3dmark05 and 06 and also in 06 to lower resolution to 1024x768 for me it seems fairer as both 03 05 uses 1024x768 and 06 1280x1024

i haven´t enterd any of this kind before i mean isn´t the thing to get a high score so wouldn´t be allowed to tweak 3dmark as well?

well i´m not sure but i guess everything has to be default to get a valid entry?

i have no orb account and so on never cared to create one do i need that aswell?

Tampering with any settings in the benchmarks isn't allowed, and yes you need an Orb account.

petri1 · Jul 18, 2007, 09:51 AM

ok got it

i´ll try and see what happens

petri1 · Jul 18, 2007, 12:52 PM

@Asmoday since it is my first try and go i entered the INtel Stock competition can you check that my entry is valid so i haven´t spent all day testing and at the end it is all i vain?

like i said it is my first go at this

You have posted the wrong links to the results mate.

petri1 · Jul 18, 2007, 02:19 PM

how do i post the right ones?

edit:

i think i got it now i checked and they linked to the results i intended to

That's better! Now keep tweaking the scores and maybe you'll have a new shiney avatar by Sunday.

So now we know that X1950 is faster than X1600

Let's compare the CPU performance. I have made a few CPU and memory benchmarks in PC Wizard 2007. Here is a PDF summary: http://mujweb.cz/www/axbweb/PCWBench.pdf
My mem settings: 436MHz, timing 2.5-3-3-5

**ChaosMinionX** · Jul 19, 2007, 08:47 PM

A little taste of whats to come

22441 3D05 - Single HD2900XT 1GB 825/2150 (825/1075 effective) 3.8ghz DDR2 1056 4-4-4-10 2.3v
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3262439

EDIT: Seems for any competitive PCMark05 with this card I will need to be getting Vista x64.....for some reason vista crushes XP in transparent windows/graphics lines with this card....

petri1 · Jul 20, 2007, 05:50 AM

that´s some impressive results i must say i never come close to those

i almost came to 14k in 05 once but not over it and just below 9k in 06

but i can´t OC since i don´t know how to and can´t afford if somethings goes boom

**ChaosMinionX** · Jul 20, 2007, 11:43 AM

Right now I am looking at a final score of about 15k something...pcmark05 is screwing me.

What is your 3D05 score?

petri1 · Jul 20, 2007, 03:02 PM

i would like to get a 10k total but to get 14k in 3d05 and 9k in 3d06 and then PCM05

well as it looks it would take a fast driver to get me those scores and i´m not sure i can find any

3d05 final score broke 23k...

im in the realm of 14-15k on 3d06... need to crank out processor more..

EDIT: Vista Ultimate INC

petri1 · Jul 20, 2007, 06:22 PM

i don´t come near 8800in06 or 14000in 05 all on stock speed no OC´d at all

**ChaosMinionX** · Jul 20, 2007, 07:08 PM

Your running everything stock, I wouldnt expect much more out of your scores TBH.

If however your looking to get into overclocking, feel free to post here or contact Me on AIM/MSN/ICQ...

well i got 6591 in PCM05 an small improvment still a bit to 10k need a fast driver that can kick some serious 3D05/06but so i´m trying different drivers to see wich gives the most and in wich test i am gonna try and improve my total with no OC at all

well one must see what happens

A driver isnt going to give you 4k points on pcmark05..... you need to overclock to get that... alot of overclocking actually, given your setup.
