What is your system spec?

 

[V_R]

Depends on the spec, if its a brand new high spec gaming rig then go for 06 or 05 if its a wee bit older. If its old tech then go for 03 or even 01.

With this system:

Asus P5B Deluxe Motherboard
2Gb Corsair Memory
Intel Dual Core E6600 2.4Ghz
BFG 640Mb 8800GTS Video card

Using 3D Mark 06 I got a score of 8343, which isn't too bad at all.

As the others have said, which 3D Mark you use depends on your system.

Whatchoo got?

Nice spec, now go and run 3DM06 or 05 dont bother with 03.

Then post up your results, or a comparison url.

 

[orcus1974]

Thanks V_R
Just ran 06 and got a score of 12001

Is that a good score for this system?
Also ran 03 for fun and got a score of 46191 lol wish that was my score on 06

 

[V_R]

Good, shame the 8800 Drivers still do a crap job at SLI, would be better if they had got it sorted.

What monitor are you running it on?

 

[orcus1974]

At the min i have the samsung syncmaster 226bw but hope to get a 32in as soon as i can

Nice rig and nice bench orcos1974


Your rig would also make a good crunching rig - have you considered joining our crunching team?

 

[V_R]

Very nice rig mate.

Ah just twigged, your the guy whos wife bought him the pc right? From Mesh? Is this still the same rig? Running smooth and ok?

 

[orcus1974]

LOL yep thats me m8.
no its not the same rig this one works had a hell of a hard time getting my money back from mesh had to go online to there site almost evey day and give them a hard time and had a independant engineer get in touch with them to get my money back as thay were telling me that there was nothing wrong with the pc.
Its all good now had this rig custom built by the same engineer and he only lives 3 doors down the road from me so if i get any problems hes only 2 mins away

 

[V_R]

Result!!

Sounds like the CS is way better than mesh. Did you see them on watchdog the other week??

 

[muckshifter]

this ain't the Mesh thread ...

Back on Topic ... please.

 

[V_R]

Lol, sorry mucks.

orcus1974, you should post up a photo in the gallery mate.

 

[orcus1974]

Hi Adywebb.
I've been crunching for must be 5-6 years now maybe more started with SETI.
I would be happy to join the team but becouse this pc is 4 days old i wont to run it for a week or 2 first to make shore i have not problems if all gos well i'll PM you and join the team if thats ok.

 

[Adywebb]

Thats cool orcus, just PM me when ready


What projects other than Seti have you been crunching, and for what teams?

 

[orcus1974]

Im a astrophotogrpher so ive been doing SETI , Einstein and the Climate prediction projects.
Never crunched in a team before so this will make a nice change.
