Hey Ant,

I also vote for XS Mark and 3D Mark 2001 SE (build330), but don't just post the overall score. but rather all detailed individual scores, so that we all can see what clock settings make up what difference.



for example:

clock settings				default	OCed

3DMark Score				6752	6844
Game 1 - Car Chase - Low Detail		100.6	101.8	fps
Game 1 - Car Chase - High Detail	39.3	39.3	fps
Game 2 - Dragothic - Low Detail		113.2	115.9	fps
Game 2 - Dragothic - High Detail	68.6	69.8	fps
Game 3 - Lobby - Low Detail		95.4	95.5	fps
Game 3 - Lobby - High Detail		44.5	44.6	fps
Game 4 - Nature				30.6	32.0	fps
Fill Rate (Single-Texturing)		707.0	764.1	MTexels/s
Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing)		2744.6	2879.1	MTexels/s
High Polygon Count (1 Light)		25.1	25.2	MTriangles/s
High Polygon Count (8 Lights)		11.0	11.1	MTriangles/s
Environment Bump Mapping		119.5	124.2	fps
DOT3 Bump Mapping			96.4	101.7	fps
Vertex Shader				91.4	95.1	fps
Pixel Shader				65.6	66.3	fps
Advanced Pixel Shader			76.2	77.5	fps
Point Sprites				14.1	15.0	MSprites/s

Here are some stats...

Shiping driver:
275 220 = 157.495 - 0% (index)
295 230 = 165.316 - 4,97%

New Driver - core o/c (RAM: 275):
275 220 = 164.609 - 4,52% - 0% (index)
275 230 = 170.386 - 8,19% - 3,51%
275 240 = 175.951 - 11,72% - 6,89%
275 250 = 181.161 - 15,03% - 10,06%

New Driver - core o/c (RAM: 310):
310 220 = 168.529 - 7,01% - 2,38%
310 230 = 174.678 – 10,91% - 6,12%
310 240 = 180.321 – 14,49% - 9,55%
310 250 = 186.171 – 18,21% - 13,10%

OK for 3DMark exactly what settings should we be running with?

[ganyaik]

I think defaults would be fine with every FAA, 10bit, triple head, other eye candy turned off. That should give an indication about the raw performance. Thanx in advance.

what ganyaik said ...

just launch it and click 'benchmark'

[Ant]

Okey dokey I'll have a play when I get home tonight

[ganyaik]

OK, we're eagerly waiting those results.

Another Benchmark

How about a Quake 3 Benchmark... e.g. a standard demo FPS.

This perhaps should yield interesting results.

[Ant]

Can you tell me how to get the demos to run in Quake 3, I used to do it but have forgotten how

[MK]

Yep no problem:

Copy the neccessary demos to the folder ...\quake3\baseq3\demos\... ! Then start the game choose the appropriate settings and go to the console. There type the following commands (xxxx stands for the name of the demo):

timedemo 1
demo xxxx

After the demo finished, you will see the fps get displayed in the console !

Hope that helps

MK

[P5ycho]

timedemo 1
demo demoname.dm3

that's all

[edit]

beat me to it, MK

[MK]

Ant, I have a few demos if you need some: Annihilator, Crusher & Q3Crusher. They are supposed to be more stressful than the built in ones ...

[edit: typo]

[Ant]

Can you mail them over to me if they are a reasonable size?

[ganyaik]

Ant: Seems you'll have a busy night/afternoon!
