lol i am not even going to bother downloading and trying this new benchmark on my laptop. i think i would be able to run one test or something. i will just have to wait until the m10 comes out
Dang, my 8500 (flashed with 9100 bios) just doesn't want to o/c. Bumped it up just 5 MHz to 280/280 and was able to get 999 3DBarfs, although started showing some o/c'ing artifacts during the last sound test. Backed it back down to 275/275 and managed to get 981 : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=33581
After running it a bit, I think the artifacts I was getting at 280/280 weren't really from the video card after all. Used powerstrip to make 640x480 the highest resolution the monitor would support and got my score over 1300 at the default 275/275, but it started glitching on the silent part of the sound test... the program isn't all that stable it seems. No heat problems at all, case temperatures are only 75 degrees (24c).
I would personally like more dx9 tests and a bit more variety,technological speaking (test2 and test3 are basically run on the same 3d-engine, AFAIK), especially if this is going to last until dx10 arrives.
they only uses dx9-exclusive features in one test, and only a little, and what about ps3.0 and vs3.0 (yeah, i know there isnĀ“t any hardware that supports it yet, but I thought futuremark would make it a bit futureproof, and it is in the dx9-spec afterall)
do you think it is advanced enough for future dx9 cards?
