Aquamark 3 + My Rig

[scrible88]

I've never run it before. What's it like? I'm downloading it now.

What do you think mine will score with my 24/7 settings in sig?

[BaNaNaS]

65k+

[scrible88]

65k+

At my current speeds? Is that good? What's considered "good" and what's considered "bad?"

How's this guys?

[Napoleonic]

it will be average

[scrible88]

it will be average

How does your setup do? What could I set as a goal for myself?

Is this a very reliable benchmark?

:confused: Sorry for my Aquamark n00bishness!

[Napoleonic]

actually, I don't have an aquamark :D
but after I read from other posts, your score is just average.....

I'm suggesting you to oc your 6800gt.....

is that a very reliable bench? I dunno, it's far from scandal like 3dmark, but less popular...:)

Blegh, It won't do 400/1050. A really sad overclocker.

I'm really happy with its stock performance though! All I focus on oc'ing is my CPU. I'm a SuperPI kinda guy..

I know Aquamark has nowhere near the hype 3dmark does! I've been benching since 3dmark99 in the old MadOnion days. :p:

[Snowman89]

think is kinda low, is that with every thing stock?
i got 67k with one 6600gt and my cpu even not maxed

I get almost 76k at 2.85ghz clawhammer, 445/940 16x6 6800nu LoD +3 uber tweaked windows so it looks about right.

[viccyran]

Aquamark is a P4 friendly benchie. I remember I scored higher with my ol' 2.8c @ 3.7 compared to my a64 3200+ @ 2.75 ><

[craig588]

65k+


Wow, that's an incredible guess.

How did you get such a great score from the 6600gt?!

[stealthbomber]

The CPU makes a huge difference in AM3 benches.

[Jackass]

i get 68.8 with a 6600GT keep pushing

[Kanavit]

thats a kickass score, Scrible88 . congrats.

[Vett95wLT4]

i got 76.3k (http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?run=284532825) on my old GT but had CPU oc'd pretty hi (was a 3.0C @ 3.9)

[BiNarY]

Aquamark is a finesse of CPU and GFX balance, my current top score is 73k, on a very comparable setup to yours. You can definitely get more from the cpu. try a tighter timing/lower mhz value setup. AM3 LOVES memory bandwidth. CPU Score should total over 12k. GPU score should easily reach 11k with a 6800gt. If you don't know this, GT's are just slightly underclocked/undervolted/undercooled Ultra's, if the temps are fine, you can run it as an ultra all day long. My gt never, and i mean never, goes below 410/1110. the only problem with it is that damn crappy BFG dual fan cooler. GPU easily reaches excess of 65C. Top i've seen it hit is 67.

I'm thinkin of usin an old refridgerator'a internals to chill some liquid and setup a liquid cooler in my case. but that destroys portability.

Well theres my 2 cents.

BTW an easy way to score an extra few thousand points on aquamark is to use driver set 61.34.

[Super strokey]

well frick... i got 36000 with my rig... worse thatn when i had a 9800 pro and xp mobile

A64 @300x9
bfg oc 6800 gt
2x512 of ocz EB

What the hell am i doing wrong? I ran the standard benchmark...

Have you set your driver settings to "performance?" and disabled AA and AF as well as disabling vertical sinc?

Showoff! :slobber:

[shaolin95]

I dont want to hijack your thread but to the guys scoring so high with the 6600GT how in the world are you doing that? Are you using performance setting? I can barely break the 60000 by OCing mine even when my CPU score is around 12100, but I use my driver stock at quality setting.
