3DMark scores

[kre8tvt12]

I'll start a thread with some 3DMark scores. If you would like to add, please feel free to do so. This way we can compare what others are getting.

These are done with 3DMark 03 latest build set to default settings.

With Omega drivers 2504

(default clock 338 core / 243 mem)
Score: 2761


(371 core / 277 mem)
Score: 3082

[Rao Hamid]

That's a great score with overclocking! Have you played any games with those speeds? What happens with me is that as soon as i overclock, using POWERSTRIP, games start freezing after onl about 15 minutes of play. I keep i8kfangui settings on normal and i noticed that the DIMM temperatures get really high, about 90 degrees C plus. Have you noticed that too? And are you using POWERSTRIP?

[NeXur]

See signature below...

[Yoob@NBF]

It would be helpful if you let the people in the forums know CLock settings for your Video adapters

[kre8tvt12]

So far no freezing for me. But the temps for the DIMM is high with and without overclocking. For me it peaks at about 80 C. This is with the laptop just flat on a desk.

Im overclocking using Radlinker.

[jswriter]

Please forgive my naivete' on this, but what is the value of overclocking, aside from boosting benchmark scores by a small margin? Does overclocking really improve a system's performance? :scratch:

[Rao Hamid]

I like to play all the games i do with some value of AA or FA turned on, mostly, 4AA 8FA, its great for battlefield 1942. If i overclock and keep AA and FA turned on, wouldn't that cause even more load on my GPU than if it were only just overclocked. The combination of overclocking and using AA and FA is not good for my GPU, right? Someone help me out here.

[Yoob@NBF]

Please forgive my naivete' on this, but what is the value of overclocking, aside from boosting benchmark scores by a small margin? Does overclocking really improve a system's performance? :scratch:

I dont promote overclocking since ive directly destroyed an older 8100 overclocking what seemed to be a golden chip of a Geforce 440 go. it overclocked to maximum settings no problem but the heat became such a problem it fried the northbridge which sits just next to the ram of the GPU. needless to say the system wasnt usable but the card lives on another healthy system waiting to take the internal punishment :)

People Overclock i guess for any free performance they can get without having to pay for it... or for those who just want to top out whats best available. of course at the risk of damaging components

[nootrak4]

im getting the 8600 laptop soon i was asking at dell forums about overclocking but i guess no one like to or they dont know.

where can i get programs that can overclock and underclock CPU and VPU.
Post a link. i havent got it yet, but is coming 2-4 of feb ( my Bday is the 4th me so happy)
thank you

[Yoob@NBF]

Powerstrip will be on the software section of the site
be paitiant please im workign as fast as i can :)

[natedog81]

My score on the 3Dmark03 was 2776.

[nootrak4]

ok i just got my system yesterday. i formated as soon has i got it. install win xp Pro .right now i just benched my computer with the free version 3dmark03.i put my AA4 and AF16. anyway i got a score of 2759 :dude: . what i dont get is how did u guys get alittle bit more then i did and ur have better systems then i do. i8600 1.3 256mb ram (getting 512 Next week,Question i can mix up two different kind of mem like if i get a Kingston i can mix it up with the dell ones?)40gb,4DVD+RW. i installed UT2K3 and it worked just fine but hard to control with out a moise.and where can i get something to overclock/underclock my computer and GPU/VPU. u know underclocking saves u battery. well thank and tell me what im doin wrong. i mean ur sys and my are like not even close. :lol:


P.S.what does this do i8kfangui

[Yoob@NBF]

yes you can mix ram but for best performance and temperatures use 2 kingmax rams instead of mixing one with another brand fangui is a temperature monitoring software used to cool the laptop at will!

[BananaFusion]

Finally got around to installing all those benchmark programs and so (all run on default settings and no overclocking)...

I get 3498 3DMarks on 1.7GHz and 420/310, but BoP is all screwed up :banana:

Note: screwing up of graphics appeared to be Powerstrip's fault. It must alter timings or stuff.
With ATiTool all is A-ok.

[Zerostatic]

2724

It looks like there is little gain with having more ram and faster CPU. It's all in the graphics card I guess.

[ofelas]

Those with Quadro 1000s - is the engine clock 450MHz or 350MHz?

Thanks.

[tijgert]

What I don't get is the obvious pride of people posting their scores with stock speeds.
Bragging rights for having a nice lappy are zero here.
OC and/or mod the damn thing and see wat YOU can do that no one else can, THAT is something to brag about.

I posted some scores a while back, now try this on for size:

i8600 with Windows XP Pro running standard Dell drivers on my cooling modified 9600 PT.
Standard settings for 3DMark03 @ core/mem 470/325 yields 3720 3DMarks.

Unless I am mistaken this is the highest i8600 score here...

[ofelas]

What I don't get is the obvious pride of people posting their scores with stock speeds.
That helps people compare different video drivers, makes their decision on which video card suits them best etc.

I posted some scores a while back, now try this on for size:

Very nice scores; however, keeping in the same vein as you, no doubt an XPS owner would laugh at your scores, and point out that your overclocked scores are still not up to par with his Radeon Mobility 9700.

[tijgert]

Actually, the highest score on an XPS I've seen here so far was from some 530/315 clocked MR9700 and that ran just 4040 3DMarks.
A difference (so far) of 320 3DMarks doesn't exactly make me wallow in self pity.

So far I'm still the (self crowned) king of the hill in i8600 land :dude: and even in the non OC'd XPS/i9100 border area :banana: X 2! (or just :banana: :banana: )

I believe that stock speeds for the XPS are 450/260?
Anybody care to correct me on this?

[zelousmaximus]

just got my i8600 yesterday.

my compaq x1000 that I returned got only 700 with 3dmark03. that is something to be happy about when i got my 8600. granted you can get higher scores with better videocards and more overclocking a jump from 700 to 3000 is great. i hit 3690 but never posted it cause i will never use it at such a high frequency when i use my laptop.

[Yoob@NBF]

Hey stichl your 2k1 scores are unusually high for a Geforce 4200 card even at that clock

[Bossy573]

3DMark01: 9944
3DMark03: 2814

:)

[Stichl]

To Dell-Machina:
I don´t think so.
I receive my 2001-scores (>12000) with following setting:
sideband-adressing on
P4 2,4GHz @ 2,54GHz
My record up to now is ~12500 @ 290/580 and P4 2,4GHz @ 2,65GHz. This setting is stable for one cycle of 3DMarke2001 (maybe two), only.
Moreover the soundcard is not functioning any more, because the FSB is too high.
The limiting factor is the CPU, I think. With more CPU-power the 2001-score would be still higher!
Juergen

[tijgert]

True, no way I will use 460/325 in real life.
But OC'ing isn't about reaf life usage, it's about performance, reaching goals, being better than the rest (even if only for a few seconds).

It's like a sport :)

[meatpimp]

P4 2,4GHz @ 2,54GHz

What do you use to clock the FSB?

[Stichl]

To change the fsb on inspiron 8200:
first you have to replace the original PLL Cypress W320-04 by ICS950812 respectively (with few changes) ICS950813.
Then you can use the tool Cpufsb from www.podien.de
You need very good soldering experience to do this!

[msdille1]

I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression here, but it's real easy to say that you got "such and such" a score without any proof. It's not that I doubt any of these scores, but simply taking a pic of the results might help to clearify things a bit. Just my 2 cents if anyone was wondering

I shoud be getting my 9100 tomorrow and will be more than happy to post my score, with pictures.

[Stichl]

to msdille1:
It´s a bad quality of the picture (made with my mobile P900) but I think you can imagine my Inspiron 8200

Right when i got my I9100 i removed most of those junk programs pre-installed by dell and ran the 3DMark03 with a score of 3358. Since, i've formatted, installed xp-pro and so-forth. Just ran 3DMark03 again and got a score of 4257 :headbang: i'll take that any day of the week. :cheers:
All the settings were default, so were my clock speeds and drivers (what came with the dell system). In my week or so having my I9100, i've loved every second and am finally getting things how i want them, along with the games running better than i ever dreamed.
BTW, what are the default clock speeds for the I9100/XPS?

Are you saying you scored 4257 3dmark 03 on your i9100 without oclocking? You missed april fools day by 5 days.

[wduckworth]

just pulled my I9100 out of the box today (after the ups man was so kind to drop it off) powered up and installed and ran 3dmark 03 with a score of 3131. not bad for out of the box

I9100 3.0, 512 meg,64 mb ati, 60 gb 7200 rpm

[The ArchAngel]

3DMark03 yielded a 3134 on my i9100. No overclocking.

[Spiike]

how do you guys on 8600's get such high 3dmark01se scores? i get 9895 and that is with mild overclocking. granted my pcmark03 is 3010, i cant break 10k for the 01 score. my clocks are always at 355/255 with the new omegas.

[Yoob@NBF]

You need a very capable DX8.1 card for those scores like the Geforce 4200

[tijgert]

My good man, have you ever seen the artwork that some people can make using nothing else but photoshop?

Do I come across as being that dim that I can't figure out how to manipulate 3DMark scores in photoshop without it looking fake?

I'll gladle brag about my i9100 beating score of 5472 when my i8600 will reach it.
Until then, I will post my the only scores I got, gotten by honest hard work :)

To Tijgert:

If you don´t know anything about graphic cards - then don´t tell such a nonsense!
I am a german engineer working in a American computer company in development!
I was the man working hard - NOT YOU. What did you do with your laptop to get a little bit more power... a new driver here - a little overclocking there - this job can do everybody!
Your 9100 never will do a bench of 5472... your vid card its nothing else than a 9600 pro (as desktop variant).
But the 4200 go is a real desktop 4200TI, running normally with 1,5V core voltage. Nvidia then did a chip selection of the cores, fitted them in dell laptops by reducing the voltage to 1,15V!
I did nothing else than giving the core, what it needs to become powerful - voltage!
When I increase the voltage to 1,38 Volt, then I will get stable 277MHZ out of it - thats better than a TI4400 desktop gpu. For a short time I have a stable system with 290MHZ - thats almost a TI4600 gpu.
I dont need a "paintshop pro" to get such a benchmark.
Every 8200 Inspiron user with a gogl 700 and a 2,4GHz CPU can get 10800 points in 3dmark 2001 with overclocking - the "hard job" - you prefer!!!

I hit ~9500 at stock on the 8600. At 384/284 I'm getting ~ 10500 give or take. Haven't ran 3dmark2001 in awhile so I don't remember the number right off the bat. I was able to break 11000 but after playing UT2k4 demo for over an hour when I was testing for stability, my machine resetted back to default settings after I turned it on and off with a message in the bios saying something to the effect of "blah blah, shut off automatically due to heat". I've been using it at 384/284 for last two months with sporadic gaming and constant word/excel/web surfing (about 6-8 hours a day).

[MNguyen281]

I hit a whooping 82 3DMARK01 on my compaq presario 7000 with a 898MHz AMD Athlon, 256MB PC100 SDRAM, and a 64MB GeForce2 MX :dude:

[Yoob@NBF]

thats not possible with that kind of system :-P

[MNguyen281]

[Horsey]

OK.. these are results for my i9100 w/o reformatting (as it came from the box)

3DMark03 -3347
Aquamark -27580

[tijgert]

And now for something completely different...

Getting higher scores is easy enough, one is even higher than the previous highest.
How about lowest scores this time..

On my i8600 (not exactly the slowest system on the block) I can get all the way down to 258 3DMarks03.

Try and beat THAT!

[Spiike]

hmm this is odd. I got curious what my 3dmark bench would be, and i get a 2977 running each test with 3 iterations. This is with a clock of 355/255. Now as I had posted a while ago, my bench at this clock speed was a solid 3010. Nothing has changed in the meantime settings wise. Does anyone have any ideas what could be the reason for a 40 point loss? (yes i know it's just numbers and pish posh.. but it makes me curious why).

[Spiike]

Ok i found out samurize eats up 16 points and speedswitchXP takes up 15 points. So not I'm back up to around 3010ish. I didnt' realize these two progs killed my score by so much.

Can someone try clocking at 355/255 and see what they get?

[alinefx]

3376 On Stock Inspiron XPS Pentium 3.4 EE

[rincewind]

spike those numbers are off by 20...

perhaps the higher score was done when you turned on the computer after it had a cool-down / rest time

ever notice ur car is slightly faster when u run it in the cool morning?
and how it is kinda sluggish on a hot day?

[sakor1]

:stupid:
As well as that, it could also any other number of little software issues, could be you had different drivers when testing before (are they the same ones?), could be any number of things. 3dMark scores are very sensitive and that is pretty much within the normal bounds of variation, so not to worry Spiike.

last 4 benches were

3008
how is this 20 off?

Are u talking about my clock speed? Because I do run my laptop on 355/255 (overclocked with radlinker) all the time.

i run these back to back without "cooling off time." And if you read my post, the performance gain was due to exiting out of these programs that ate up quite a bit of resources. And btw, your car runs better when it's cool because the air is more dense with oxygen. It has nothing to do with a cooler engine which would impede performance.

Sakor, I'm not worried about it. As long as far cry can play fine, it's awl good. I'm just surprised that these two programs would effect the score by as much as 40 points. Since these are programs that "run in the background" while using minimal resources.

[mocolt]

Hey guys, I am having trouble install Omega in my inspiron 8600 1.5 + raden 9600 system. When I install the package and restart it, my window will be very slow and non of my games will start. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I hope one of you guys can help me. Thanks..

[mocolt]

Oh also what's the highest or the best clocking for Radeon 9600 in a i8600 system. Thanks

[Yoob@NBF]

default clocks are best since you wont run the risk of FRYING your video card or system. However if you MUST overclock cause it makes you feel better about yourself or want those measly 3 extra fps in games then try not to go above 5%

[AxiomofIllusion]

If it wasn't Friday afternoon I'm sure I could find the answer to this myself but do you know off hand what Dell's position is on overclocking? I'm sure warranties of all kinds would be voided..

[mocolt]

Oh I see.. THanks Dell-Machina... I wasn't going to OC since it will just overheat my laptop. However, I see a lot of people are using Omega Driver.. and so I thought I would give it a try but everytime I try to do it. It just doesn't work. I just follow the steps and it never worked. Is there something I need to do or doing wrong? I thought since our config of Dell laptop are the same (i8600) maybe someone can help me out. ^^ Thanks

I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression here, but it's real easy to say that you got "such and such" a score without any proof.

First of all, who cares if someone lies about their scores on the internet. It isn't going to matter either way.

Second, Stichl don't take a picture of your monitor with your camera. :)
All you have to do is hit "print screen" and then open a photo program like Photo Shop and start a new file and paste the picture. GL


p.s. AquaMark3 score was 3,320 GPU, total score was 27,000. I'm not posting a picture because if I'm lying about it the only person I'm hurting is myself.

[Tapek]

if anyone wants proof of my results or wants me to run any other benchmarks let me know. i dont need to lie its pointless

This is really a wonderful idea. I´ll do some screenshots from my desktop-PC with radeon 9800xt and then will tell you that my Inspiron 8200 will do 20000 3dmark2001, demonstrated through my screenshots I did :lol:

I repeated a bench, did a photo and inserterted additionally your screenshots you wished.
I did it with PSP8 :)

As you can see I overclocked my 2,4GHz-P4 mobile up to 2,67GHz.

My score on the 3Dmark03 was 3456. I think that is fairly good seeing I started at 1500 or so. This is what I did, which won't be a surprise to many

1)Bought a 60gig 7200rpm or something like that HD/replaced orginal 60gig

2) Re-installed windows, on new drive

3)Haven't upgraded any bios or Drivers.

I am very pleased. Thanks troops for all the infor, a clean install is the way to go, the new HD makes my system fly, no delays.

[MNguyen281]

I dunno if its normal but when i only have 1 hdd in the system it doesnt make any noise but with both hdds on top of each other it makes a humming noise.

3dMark03
Stock (445/265) - 3427 :D
O'C (499/297) - 4174 :eek: :moon:
Using Stock ATI Catalyst 4.7 Drivers

3dMark01 (I have NEVER hit under 10k)
Stock - 10862
O'C - 13822

These scores were impossible to get with the standard "Dell" install. I installed the system fresh and applied all updates INCLUDING XP SERVICE PACK 2 BETA. This update increased my system performance nicely as it has a fix for the P4's HyperThreading capabilities.

When you get drivers for your machine, ALWAYS try to get your drivers from the Chipmaker (i.e., INTEL, ATI, etc.) as they tend to have newer drivers than Dell's so-called drivers. Intel has a newer chipset driver than Dell that helped a bit. There is usually ALWAYS a better driver somewhere... this can be maddening... :saywhat: :eek: :surreal:

Finally, start turning ALL non-essential stuff off, MSCONFIG, Services, Sys Restore, Auto Updates, NORTON, NORTON, NORTON, and once again, NORTON... hee hee. Figure out exactly how i do it and you'll be at the top of Futuremark's online result browser's list for the iXPS, 9100 too!!!! (i did it last thursday...YAY!!!)

...oh and as far as NORTON... it is a great utility suite. Shut down ALL of the automatic crap because if you are in this thread, you should know how NOT to get a virus and how to scan manually. This will take SOOOO much load off your system.

Just my $.02 :awdance:

OMG I saw someone with a 9100 that scored over 5k non overclocked... I am going to find the thread... he has a link to the futuremark results...

He did something that sped up trolls lair dramatically... Im trying to figure it out.

Klyte, did you mod your video card?

Kltye, did you mod your video card?

Yep, remember me from notebookreview? :) The insane guy who used some layers of aluminium 'cos I couldn't get copper...

I got a 6600 @ 1024 x 768 x 32 res and default settings which was 4x af and no aa iI believe. At the same res and with 2x aa enabled I got a 5300 and both marks are 3dmark03. Then I got above 43.1k in Aquamark3. This is all stock no overclocking at all. I have a Dell XPS with a 256 mb mobility 9800 chip.

see my sig

benched with self-modded 4.2
(ati catalyst 4.2 + mobility mod w/ dh modtool + overclocking restriction unlock w/ rivatuner + ati catalyst 4.9b opengl portion)

With some tweaking, I have new results.... see sig..

That score seems awfully high for a 9700 and awfully low for a 9800.

Most 9700's do 3400 and most 9800's do 6400....

If that's a 9800 score you didn't do enough tweaking (Doesn't appear to be) and if it's a 9700 score I'd be interested in how you did it.

My 9700 does 3400 stock and 4200 @ 530/630. I suppose with some tweaking and maybe with a cooling mod you could get higher than 530/630 but you'd have to go quite a bit higher to get an additional six hundred points.

I clocked my core up 130mhz and my memory up 55mhz and got eight hundred points.

3DMark03 2250 Seems low compared to others. How can I improve this without OC'ing? In order to OC, what would be best route?

New i9200, default drivers from dell's website:

3dmark03: 3417

specs below, except only had 512 ram in it during test.

3D Mark 2003:

Latitude D600 (Banias 1.3 GHz, Radeon 9000, 32 MB, 64 bit memory):

321 with 512MB DDR266 (2.5-3-3-6) @ 60 Hz
650 with 512MB DDR266 (2.0-2-2-5) @ 100 Hz

Precision M60 (Dothan 1.6 GHz, Radeon 9600, 128 MB, 128 bit memory):

2860 with 512MB DDR333 (2.5-3-3-6) @ 60 Hz

My system locks up with the stock settings of the Radeon 9600, so I lowered the frequency from 337/243 MHz to 293/193 MHz and it works fine now.
