"Benchmark Scores"

We haven't had one of these threads for a while, and seeing as I'm all happy now that I've got my graphics card working (cough*installed chipset drivers*cough), I fancy posting my benchmarks. Just post any benchmarks scores you've got for your PC.

Mine are:
PC Pitstop: 2,101
3DMark03: 6,559
AquaMark3: GFX: 6,261 | CPU: 9,748 | Overall: 47,397

Athlon XP2800+ @Stock
512MB Geil Golden Value RAM @ CAS2 7-3-3
Abit NF7 Motherboard
Radeon 9800Pro 128MB@ Stock

3DMark2001 SE 15181 Marks.

Athlon 64 3500
Asus A8v deluxe motherboard
1Gb Corsair pro
Gainward 6800gt golden sample running extreme mode

All running at stock (card extreme mode *slightly overclocked, but still in warranty)

3d mark 03 - 12495

Doom3 so fast I got motion sickness last night? Oh yes.
Farcry indoor sections playable? Oh yes.

Just run 3dmark03 on my Shuttle for the first time, stock settings and no tweaks - about 11700. Not bad.

I take it you mean High as opposed to Ultra? High does run smoother with a lot on screen but to be honest even with the abcense of a 512mb card it still runs sweet on Ultra.

I would run DOOM on The setting under Ultra as opposed to Ultra, because that uses uncompressed textures and was designed with 512MB graphics in mind to handle the massive uncompressed megabytes of Textures. Then you can crank up the resolution to 1600 x 1200 unless of course you've got a TFT...

I have the dual vantec 4000RPM fan card underneath, an exhaust extracter just above and a 120mm 4000RPM fan facing side on to it. Cools it by around 12-15 degrees load.

It is definitley something I want to improve on, just wanting more information on what is actually useful as a cooling system rather than a gimmick.

£500 is a bit too much on a cooling system. It is something I would consider but would have to look into it and read behind it before getting something like that.

What you have on it.

Stock cooling or my cooling?
