3Dmark2003 score booster ?

[eva2000]

Just noticed something weird that happens with my X800pro as well as this Asus 6800U, if i set 3dmark2003 to loop each test 10 times, the final score is much higher than running it once!

3.2EE @ 200fsb

card stock @ 425/1100
GT1-GT4 1 loop per test = 12,966 (http://www.fileshosts.com/pentium4/D1/asus/p4c800e_results/HC200_results/3.2EE/OCZ/PC3500LE/2x512/Asus6800U/200-200-2226-8-inf-64u-1.55-3-1.6_Turbo_PAM/3dmark2003_425-1100_12966.jpg)
GT1-GT4 10 loops per test = 13,221 (http://www.fileshosts.com/pentium4/D1/asus/p4c800e_results/HC200_results/3.2EE/OCZ/PC3500LE/2x512/Asus6800U/200-200-2226-8-inf-64u-1.55-3-1.6_Turbo_PAM/3dmark2003_425-1100_13221_10loops.jpg)

???

seems Nature got a boost for some reason ?

Anyone else experience this ?

maybe you get a good run eventrually?

Never heard of it before...

Perhaps it saves somethin in the ram so it doesnt have to do so much work=???

Or maybe you had 1 bug run...

strange, do you know if its just with those cards or does it happen with other cards also?

[eva2000]

had it happen a few times now.. seems 6800 series scores drop more than X800 when you run 3d2k3 several times once after another (with break in between) in same windows sessions as well

i guess it uses less rendering after it re-runs. It happens in the doom3 benchmark. the 2nd time you run it is higher than the first.

its because its already cached in the ram and video card memory.

[eva2000]

ah i see :cool: :D

Maybe the first time he has to load every Level/Test an the 2nd one, 3rd one etc. he don't load the Level's

Like the d3 timedemo !
