The fact is, games are much better to get results. 3Dmark can mislead, be compromised to give higher scores, and be flat out wrong. But hey, lower all the settings you can, to get a higher score, because thats how we play games, right? Yeah.

again? this is a completely new situation with moderation in Video. If you are going to get hung up on the past it is your personal problem.

again .. just because 3DmarkXX is useless to you does not mean that it is useless to the rest of us as a tool or that we are not smart enough to know it's limitations.

i also benchmark with far more emphasis on gaming benchmarks then on synthetic tests.

everything taken together helps to correct a lopsided viewpoint that a single test may give

Yes, again. He tried in a few posts above. Im sure hes looking for any excuse he can to ban me. Again he talks down to people calling them kids, yet tells me not to "bait people, let alone a moderator." As if they are special.

Im not hung up on the past. I suppose people can change, and some dont. I dont care that he trolled, name called, etc. in the past. The past is the past. Its hypocritical to tell someone else not to bait when they're doing it.

Fact is, 3Dmark can be very misleading, and flat out give bogus results. All I did was ask where that option was, because its a valid question. As usual, he responded to me, as always.

any1 gonna read up on my post about the red dots and tell me it's perfectly normal, or what ? Those red dots I described also happend with my older videocard, when I would alt-tab out of games and alt-tab back in.

actually Ackmed, moderators are "special" .. we are picked by the administration of ATF to moderate Video. We don't get "anything" for it ... no perks ... no special anything ... in fact, my own personal "freedom of expression" is curtailed - nevermind what they tell me.

i guess you are talking about Keysplyer2003 since i don't refer to anyone as 'kids' .. i don't believe it is a "talkdown" - rather a habit ... an expression used by him and not meant disrespectfully to anyone.

HOWEVER, you are disrupting the forum by calling him out and encouraging disrespect for him. i don't really care about what you say about me ... but consider this a *warning* - do not do disrespect Keys or speak disrespectfully of him - as if you are going to stir up a "rebellion" ... i guarantee you will not win that one. The administration is 100% behind their mods and will not take your side.

Hypocritical or not - Do not bait[period] ... or you are demonstrating you are hung up on the past. i sent you a PM this morning ... feel free to discuss THESE THINGS there. No more "personal issues" in threads.

and i feel a little bad for you also since you appear to believe that 3DMark is Bogus - but again it is my opinion vs. your opinion as i find it very useful and am not mislead whatsoever by it.

Have you tried backing down on your 3800's o/c? Just to see if the dots go away.

You're not special in the case that keys think people should treat you better than the normal poster. Which is what I was trying to get across. Sorry if you didnt get it that way.

He pm'd me to keep it out of the forums (something you should have done?) but Ill paste what I told him.

Calling me a kid, is an insult to me. It may not be to you, but that doesnt matter. I dont know if you work in the "real world" or not, but sexual harassment is a similar situation that this is. No I am NOT saying its the same thing here. If you and your pal make sexually oriented comments that are innocent to you, but a woman, or even another man takes offense, thats sexual harassment. Just because you dont find "kids" an insult doesnt matter, I do. Thats what matters. I have two kids of my own, and being called one is an insult to me. Instead of admitting it, and apologizing, you're just claiming its ok. Well, its not. Stop being a hypocrite.

I did not bait anyone, I called a spade, a spade. Dont expect me to not call him or anyone else out, about being a hypocrite. I already said I dont care what happened in the past. In fact, I even said I wouldnt care if rollo came back. Because people can change. Not that what I think matters one bit here. One thing that has not changed, is him posting after me after almost every post, for whatever reason he does it for.

Feel bad for that I think 3dmark can be misleading? And you dont? I already proved that it can give a slower PC a faster score. Your pal keys agrees with me, in the fact that the overall score can be misleading to someone who doesnt delve into how the whole score is produced. Which is exactly what happens with most people. Most people dont understand what all goes into the score.

Yes I know moderation takes a lot of time. Im a mod on one of the most popular forums on the net, even more so that this one. At least it was the last time I checked. Although to be honest, its pretty much a free for all. I have not been online much over the past year, as you may have noticed. There is something far more important to moderate for me, a little thing called war. I just got back from half way around the world 3 weeks ago today. While you "defend" these forums, I defend real lives. I dont "play" war, I do it. Thats not a crack, Ive logged a billion hours in BF2.

Perhaps you can post this in Personal Forum Issues:

http://forums.anandtech.com/ca...tid=75&flcache=2434312

you have taken enough of the Video forum's time up with your personal problems with the mods

IF you keep it up, you will post elsewhere - other than AnandTech
-you DO know what a last warning is, Ackmed?

Ok...to get things back on track...

I tried the 2900XT in my C2D rig (see sig) it score 11392 in 06

 

[MarcVenice]

I'm gonna try right now. AFAIK the red dots also happened with my 7600gs though, and when my CPU wasn't overclocked, but I'm not 100% sure on that one ...

http://www.pcgamespecial.nl/users/marc/weird.JPG

The screenshots looks normal, yet my screen somehow flickers, it doesn't turn on and off but it looks a bit as if something magnetic is close. I see very small waves running from the right to the left. Man it's hard to describe, and as you can see it doesn't show up on the screenshot, neither do the red dots. Does that mean something ? Could it simply be my monitor ?

Btw, when I would get red dots after alt-tabbing out of a game and back in, and I alt-tabbed back out and back in, they would often dissapear.

 

[Keysplayr]

When things don't show up in screenshots, that might mean your monitor has a problem. Because screenshots are taken from the memory buffer of the vid card.
Do you have another monitor to try?

thanks

I think I'm getting close to the limit with my C2D setup, 3.33ghz seems to be as far as the little E4300 will go...and I'm using water cooling.

I'm not sure how much higher the score will go if I overclock the 2900XT, I think I'll need a better PSU before I try that, I don't think my Antec TPII550 will last long if I try overclocking the 2900.

just a question, does anybody know if using a 6pin to 8pin adaptor allow the 2900XT to be overclocked, or does the PSU need to have the 8pin connector?

I'm currently using both of the 6 pin connectors so I can overclock the 2900 yet.

 

[MarcVenice]

Yeah I should be able to plugin my dads tft monitor, or perhaps my little brothers CRT monitor, I'll go try that sometime today.

AFAIK, the 8-pin is supposed to enable ATI overdrive. And probably enables manual overclocking in the driver. But don't quote me.

and try dropping your CPU's OC - just in case

what are your case/CPU/GPU temps ?

oops ... i just quoted you

but ... correct .... evidently you can also "ground" one of the uncovered pins to enable OD also

10782 marks.

My system is:

C2D E6600 @ 3400MHz, Asus P5K Deluxe, Asus 8800GTS 640M @ 635/1000, 2x1GB Geil DDR2-800+ Ultra 3-3-3-8 @ 1020MHz 4-4-4-12, 2x WD 250GB, 1x Seagate 160GB, Logitech G15 + G5 2007 Ed., 22" Fujitsu-Siemens Widescreen, Logitech Z-2300, Coolermaster Stacker fully loaded. It's all cooled by air, I'm scared of water and ice

 

[MarcVenice]

7944 marks, x2 3800+ @ 2.5ghz, asus 8800gts 320mb stock timings, 2gb ddr333, 2-7-3-3. That seems to be in line with others, Equinox got 9106 with a faster clocked x2 and a 640mb version.

Scores were,

3636 SM2.0
3610 HDR/SM3.0
1873 CPU Score

what about the "red dots" or was it just 'hangover'

 

[MarcVenice]

ah man you're making me post again, I really gotta go here Jup, red dots during the CPU-Test. I guess I'll try running it at stock speeds, 8800gts isn't oc-ed btw, so that can't be it.

3636 SM2.0
3610 HDR/SM3.0

became
3703 SM2.0
3841 HDR/SM3.0

when I used ntune to put the clock speed at 587, memory at 845. I guess it can go higher, especially if I OC the shaders. Now to see if it actually means something let's say WiC.

i didn't mean - "NOW"

go enjoy your day ... outside ... it is pretty warm here
... we can all wait for your results a few more hours or longer

 

[imported_Equinox]

I got a better score likely because my 8800GTS was also overclocked to 585/890 . My CPU is a Brisbane (2.1 -> 2.8). The sad part is that lately, I've been playing games that aren't really taxing my set up at all. I've gotten stuck on playing KoToRII (played the first one to death, and quit the second one until the other day). I believe I have Oblivion-ed myself to death finally.

 

[PCTC2]

I got a weird result w/ 3DMark 06 on my Laptop (T7200 w/ GeForce GO 7300) using ATiTool 0.27 in Vista.

Stock 100/270/200/400/350/700 (GPU/Mem 2D/3D Low/3D High): 416 3DMarks

ATiTool OC Bug: 1000/975/1000/975/1000/975 stable: 905 3DMarks

ATiTool Fixed: 500/975/500/975/500/975 stable: 810 3DMarks

Every program reported the 1000MHz GPU even though I know it was wrong. It gave better performance, but I know it was no where near 1000. Now it will artifact anywhere above 500MHz. Did 3DMark give me better scores for the same actual clock but different reported clocks? What? HAHA. It was cool though.

according to some posters it is meaningless and even misleading

i say "congratulations!" ... we know exactly what it means and how it feels to confirm what you know to be true about your system and our conscience can remain clear that we are not misleading anyone by posting and comparing "marks"
