C'mon, I need someone to smash me off 1st place.

OK, then just tell me how to overclock my graphics card and i'll have another go at this 3d mark thing. I think we've got similar graphics cards, NVIDIA 6800 GT.

But the CPU score ain't gonna happen cause i don't have a 64 bit processor unlike the new AMDs, and i ain't buying a new PC anytime soon, and it doesn't seem like Intel are gonna make any 64 bit processors.

It's a nice tool. When it's installed, click the small icon in the corner, go to Performance Profiles, then configure. Engine clock to 400 Mhz and Memory clock to 1100 Mhz. Run a few tests and play some games to check if there are no artifacts. No? You've successfully overclocked your GT to Ultra speeds.

You can probably clock it even further though, but I doubt it that it will reach Ultra Extreme speeds.

Shall i get some extra cooling then. I don't hav any system fans, and only have a stock fan that came with the graphics card originally. What would you say is a safe temp for thegraphics card? do i ask too many questions???

I don't see my 875 CPU score for 3DMark 03.

FIXED

i had a CPU overheating problem, and fixed this with THIS high end cooler

thx to PSZeTa for helping me point out the *real* problem...

-----------------------------

well...

since im @ work on a shiznit comp, will run the test tonite @ home on the real PC heh
for the record, my specs are as follows, will edit this post with the results asap

CPU: Intel Prescott 2.8 HT, L2 - 1 MB cache [no overclocking]
GPU: GigaByte Nvidia GeForce FX5900 XT 128MB [no overclocking]

others...
865 MSI Neo2 PFSIR mainboard
512 PC3200 400Mhz DDR Kingston (256 X 2 on dual channel) [no mem acclelration]
the usual stuff...

CALM DOWN.....

In the second test, the animations slows down that's just the procedure, it will go down to about 1 or 2 frames a second at certain points of the test.

erm... i know that they go down to 1/2 frames, BUT, the damed pc either freezes (picture freezes, and no response for over 15 mins) or it even resets !!!

all the times i try the 3d mark...

freezes?...... check
reboots?........check
freaking crazy gfx/proc resource hungry application running?....... check
not-too-bad-but-not-the-best-either-graphic-card.........check

While the Fx5900 XT is pretty clever, its not "heavy" enough to run the mind blowing demos run by 3Dmark.
A bit of cooling should keep it from going poop. But I'm afraid the freezing/rebooting is the only way Windows can save your poor gfx card.
I personaly lost my faith in 3Dmark scores some time ago. If you cant run some of those benchies dont worry. They are just synthetic anyway.... Its the games that count

909 · Post by **909** » 02 Feb 2005, 16:50

Mmm... the card has got a cooling fan on its gpu, it should do its work...
any particular im missing? any more help available?

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 02 Feb 2005, 17:48

that cooling fan on the graphics, will only perfrom mimimum cooling.... i think you can buy better cooling for you graphics, not sure where tho.

Why not try running 3d mark 03.

btw sorry about my last comment, i shuld've read your post more clearly.

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 02 Feb 2005, 18:19

It freezes in the test where the frames drop down alot?

Your CPU. It's not your GPU.

@ Sir Ibi.

I do know a GPU may reach far greater temperatures. Mine peaks on about 80 degrees Celcius.

ghost_4ce · Post by **ghost_4ce** » 02 Feb 2005, 18:58

Do any of you have an idea of what test it is running during the freezing/rebooting?
Something like bumpmapping, anti-aliasing/lighting etc?
That will give a clear indication of which process your PC is finding hard and then we can match that with your spec to find the exact problem.

And PSZeta, how did you come to the conclusion that its the proc?

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 02 Feb 2005, 18:59

The last 2 tests where the frame rate drops.. Those are the CPU tests. Since 3DMark loaded your GPU in the first 3 tests, I don't see that it's your GPU causing the problem

909 · Post by **909** » 03 Feb 2005, 09:22

PSZeTa: i think you have a good point in saying its my CPU,
in fact, the temp sometimes peaks to 68 degrees celcius !
and i have the Cooler Master aero type of fan on the CPU...
and the funny thing is that i have no overclocking set

@ Sir Ibi: no problem mate

Yay, upgraded my graphic card to gecube 9550xt extreme edition!!

and the 3dmark03 score is 3200, quite good for a low-end card (around USD$100)

my previous card---> 9200se, hit 654 marks, haha

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 02 Mar 2005, 05:16

ok not good idk why its not good at all... my 3dmark05 score is only

GPU 1106
CPU 2464

P4 2.4 ghz
1 gb ram
nvidia 5900xt....

why is my GPU so little????

im wondering how celluzion got such a high score with a radeon 9550... btw does it matter what the settings are for the test?

did it again with a +20mhz overclock still crappy...

909 · Post by **909** » 02 Mar 2005, 09:34

Addendum:

sorry guys for not posting my specs + 3d mark scores yet, but my mainboard developed a problem and im in the phase of changing it (through the guarantee... so its free heh heh)

when ill have the system up and running again, ill post them for sure

Just use the stock settings. You can't change any with the download version. I'll add the score.

@ 909

Take your time.

update... for some reason my CPU has gone up and i un-overclocked my card now my CPU is at 2617
