My future PC, how much would it score in 3dmarks06?

EvilHomer15 · Sep 29, 2007, 01:45 PM

I am interested in this site, since I see here's a lot of experts in hardware.
So I will let it on a test.
Around how much would this setup score in 3dMarks06?
Motherboard: P5KC
Processor: Q6600
RAM: PC2-8500 2GB (2x1 GB) 1066 mWh
Graphic card: 8800 GTS 320 MB
Harddisk: T166 400 GB 16mb Cache 7200 rpm
PSU: 550w
And a 20x dvd +/- driver

Hope you guys could help :P

BlueMak · Sep 29, 2007, 02:41 PM

7k to 9k ?

**Mousey** · Sep 29, 2007, 03:10 PM

47... Marks? ;p
Dude you can't ask a question like that becuase every 3DMark score is different, you could make 2 rigs with those specs and the scores could be totally different.
Hey, better idea... Build the rig, and run 3DMark and you'll have a perfect measurement of your score...

EvilHomer15 · Sep 29, 2007, 03:18 PM

Only 7 to 9k :S

Hmm what should I get, Vista Ultimate or Windows XP Pro?

OmegaRED · Sep 29, 2007, 04:20 PM

Well I get 8800 with my cpu and I've seen guys with 6600's get around 10,000.

3dmark means absolutely nothing these days so worry more about how it would perform in games.

You buy that machine only to have a better 3dm06 score than your friends or what?
3dmark scores are the last thing I would worry about.

10k give or take...

No, what I use 3dmark for, is to see a system, to figure out how long my current set up would last over time and in-game fps.
But ok I see you guys tell me that 3dmark is useless.. hmm.. fine.
But what should I choose as software system, Windows XP or Vista Ultimate?
(for gaming)

Judas · Sep 29, 2007, 05:22 PM

if you want to "test vista"

buy an oem copy... don't punch in a cd key, run it for 30 days... see how it fairs on the machine..... if things work out, you run into little issues...... decide to activate it or install xp.

OmegaRED · Sep 29, 2007, 06:07 PM

Xp for Gaming. Vista is only worth it if you've got an 8800GTX because it's powerful enough to make up for the lower performance in DX10 games.

josh2thad · Sep 29, 2007, 06:13 PM

ive got the XXX version and i get 10.5k

Dyre Straits · Sep 29, 2007, 08:49 PM

This is actually a hardware question. Thread moved to appropriate forum.

Cant agree with that, when I was running a single GTS I was still able to game with some pretty impressive visuals bearing in mind im running a 24" monitor at 1920x1200. That was all on Vista.

Vista is about more than just games and DX10 it's an OS and the future whether we wanted it or not. As the years roll on support for XP will dwindle away, you only need to look at nvidia's latest driver releases, vista is 1 or 2 a month while xp seems like an afterthought.
Go with Vista you'll not be sorry dx9 games are pretty much like for like and you'll still be using Vista in 3 years time when your looking at your next gfx card purchase and xp has gone the way of DOS.

I edited my computer parts. Here how it would look.

Bundkort: Asus iP35 - ATX - Socket 775 - HD Audio - 839,00
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad - Q6600 - 8MB - 2,4 GHz - 1.889,00
Ram: Corsair XMS Dominator - 2GB - PC8500 1066 MHz - DDR2 - 1.399,00
Grafikkort: Sparkle Geforce 8800GTS - 320MB - PCI-E - 2.079,00
Harddisk: Samsung Spinpoint - 320GB - 16MB - Sata II - 579,00
Drev: Samsung DVD±RW (±R DL) - 20x - Sata – Sort - 201,00
PSU: Tagan Dual Engine TG700-U25 - 700W - 935,00
Kabinet: Antec-INC P182 - Miditower - ATX - Sort - U.PSU - 979,00
My question is, would this work together?

**kris23** · Sep 30, 2007, 05:22 PM

theres no difference in 3D Marks, and yes they should work together.

Unless you're on a tight budget I definitely recommend getting the 8800GTS 640mb version.

ChaosMinionX · Sep 30, 2007, 06:20 PM

Well it has potential to do above 10K

Id say at max you will get 12k depending on if you overclock or not.

And 2nd that on the GTS640... I would even say get a HD2900PRO, its looking very promising.

**kris23** · Sep 30, 2007, 06:27 PM

if all you want is 3DMark scores, get the 2900PRO. the cards give better scores

The PRO is beating the GTS in many benchmarks, and games. Nvidia is supposed to be releasing a driver to counter this, but we shall see. RV670 is almost out

Heres the leaked specs.

EvilHomer15 · Sep 30, 2007, 06:42 PM

Ok, I went to see about this 2900PRO graphic card, it got nice scores at Toms Hardware.
But, The only thing is, it doesn't show any 2900 PRO, only 2900 XT.

Is this 2900 Pro a new model? If yes, please show me a shop that sells it.

**kris23** · Sep 30, 2007, 06:44 PM

EvilHomer15 · Sep 30, 2007, 07:52 PM

Okay, this is my final edition:

Motherboard: P5KC
Processor: Q6600 2,4 GHz
Ram: 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) Dominator PC2-8500 1066 MHz
Graphic Card: ATI Sapphire 2900PRO, 1024 MB
Harddisk: T166, 320 GB
PSU: 1000w TruePower Quattro

P182 with a DVD +/- RW 20x (dunno the englich name for those two)

Would this setup work?

**Mousey** · Sep 30, 2007, 08:07 PM

Wtf do you mean would it work?
The only thing that would factor in it "working" is the person building it <_<
Talk english ffs

Yes i'm pissed off, i'm stiff and sore from the gym, live with it

BlueMak · Sep 30, 2007, 08:51 PM

Don't forget to buy the cables and the case.

Well, I thought is some parts wouldn't fit with the rest. Like- some cards have many front names, like inno3d, asus, club3d, and more, and all those dirrerent things wouldn't fir together since they're different produced, and maybe edited.

i have a similar setup as you... I went about 9k. but i expect it to be higher with future releases. in addtion, i have a raptor

procupine14 · Oct 6, 2007, 03:41 PM

well i can see why you would be concerned if the parts would work together. WIth some hardware there are known compatibility issues between RAM and mobo (made that mistake) but since you are going with corsair and ASUS you should have no problem with compatibility

as much as I liked ATI, i'd swap out the 2900 and go with 8800GTS. DX10. In addition, the hell you 1kW for???? Won't 600w do it? lol
