A Complete Waste of Space

Apologies HH and Mr T.
Been damn busy around here...
I hope to get to this later today...

Not a problem, this is old time fun.
I have not done this pooh in years.

So, just for fun.
3D MARK 03

52,369

HH

One of the 295's comitted suicide.
The "lifetime warranty" is worthless since
the card is long since discontinued.
So, I changed to two N560GTX-TI cards.
Air cooled video cards for now, CPU's still water cooled.
Running new tests soon.

HH

3D Mark 03 first pull

61,273 with NVIDIA MSI N560GTX-TI 2X SLI and AMD Athlon 64 FX Processor-74

3D 03 is so fast it seems to be unstable with widely varying scores pull to pull.

=============

3D Mark 05 first pull, no tweeks (runs on XP)

17791 with NVIDIA MSI N560GTX-TI 2X SLI and AMD Athlon 64 FX Processor-74

CPU Score 18114

3D Mark 05 shows a 15% gain, again the cpu is marginally higher

=============

3D Mark 06 first pull, no tweeks (runs on XP)

14380 with NVIDIA MSI N560GTX-TI 2X SLI and AMD Athlon 64 FX Processor-74

SM2.0 Score 5379

HDR/SM3.0 Score 7330

CPU Score 3742 (same CPUs, odd increase)

Note a marginal improvement despite being SLI vs quad SLI. Newer cards...

=============

3D Mark VANTAGE run.

First pull, no tweeks.

GPU score 21993 (about 10% better)
CPU score 9141 (weird, WAY lower! Seems they changed the way it is scored)

=============

3D Mark 11 run.

First pull, no tweeks.

P5468 (so called 3D Mark score)
GPU score 9115 (about 10% better)
Physics/CPU score 2547

=============

3D Mark Basic (May 2013 release)

First pull, no tweeks.

3D Mark score 4859

ICE STORM 61984

CLOUD GATE 9904

Fire Strike 4859 (DX11)

I have no idea how this stacks up but the BS posted
on the Futuremark site places my ancient rig still above
average (over 50% of game PC's out there).
Can't believe them as they are sponsored by people selling hardware

Tweeking the buggers out of it dragged the
3D Mark score up to 5129 from 4859 in the last test.
Small changes that most gamers do in the card settings.
According their data that ranks this old rig above 63% of
tested PC's at their site. Not bad for an ancient computer.

New Fourm name: Politics, rhetoric and geekdom.

My G-265 can glorp a rad inverse high speed at 584 ploogs per milli-wop while running 49 psi of farnburners @ 5D chrome high rez mega borbenwatts.

You guys are pussies!

Dumb and Dumber drooling together, how romantic

HH

There is some good to come of the previous inane testing of a computersaurus.
If you have a PCIE16 or 16X2 you can upgrade to a DX11 based card as long as
you have Viendows 7 or Viendows 8
