I agree. 03 isnt going to let us test our whole systems the way it is set up right now. We all love 01 because of how it tests everything like CPU speed, FSB, memory timings, memory bandwidth, etc. 03 just doesnt do that the same way 01 does. Its definetly time for 3dmark2004 that does.
heh. i cant wait to see what those cardsll do with some nice die cooling
Awesome macci. Can't get my hands on one finally will be able to beat OPP's FX-51 score
FM is making new 3DMark as we speak optimised for DX9.0C most probably will be ready once M$ announces there new DX. Patric from FM was hinting it's not gonna be just a patch but the whole new benchmark.

When they made 3D03 they said it would be the benchmark for Future Graphics cards, they made it tough so they wouldn't have to make a new one soon. I guess not it wasn't tough enough

LoL the nerve of nvidia always trying to sneak those drivers in every version
stopping between tests would be a big plus, yes, that's another of 03 limitations that mean it is not as much fun ....Originally posted by r3b0rN
yeah true zakelwe... but we are seeing possibilities of whole system clocks helping with 03 now that we have such awesome video cards. and just like u somewhat mentioned, i too think 03 could be improved if they released an 03 SE which allowed you to stop during tests and also had low tests which focused more on whole system specs.

Well I hope the new benchmarks put things on the right track so we test our systems to the fullest.

But it makes for a easy bench. You just turn it on and walk away hoping when you get back you made through. Benchmarking made simpleOriginally posted by zakelwe

ya i hate 3dmark01 for that. in order to get a really nice score and good run u have to baby it through and i hate that, plus u watch it worrying its going to drop to desk or BSOD. so much nicer to be able to walk away and forget about itOriginally posted by OPPAINTER

Wow. Impressive. Looks like the new generation of cards has shifted the performance bottleneck back to the cpu (even highly overclocked A64s).
ya its hard to fill 16 pipes of 715mhz GPU even with a 3ghz+ A64 .... so dayem nice
I think with the new graphiccards we'll a trunover.Originally posted by PCBliss

Excellent benches Macci. Like was said earlier in this post, looks like this summer is going to be quite interesting as more and more people get their hands on these new video cards. Can't wait to see how high this next push goes.

I have a n00b question, how do you get the clocks higher with Ati tool already maxed out?

I'd really like to be able to stop the bench after GT1 on 03 for instance. Maybe when I get to be a member of the StoneCutters , like Homer did, I will find out

it will automatically extend the clock range when needed
you think Pro will be moddable to XT? stupid question i know
Thats a good question and I think we will find out soon.. (once RivaTuner is updated?
I'd guess it is possible..
Not at all stupid. Probably the biggest asked question right now as the X800PRO is coming out before the XT.Originally posted by Peen

Macci clever marketing by ATI to use you to promote the card IMO as the 6800UE is currently faster than the XT @ default speed in 2003. Although it is faster it`ll be nice to see what a 6800UE can clock to....

From what I've seen the 6800ue is not much more than a marketing ploy. Basically just an overclocked 6800u. While I'm sure some will buy the card, why not just buy the ultra instead and overclock it yourself?
Same can be said for the X800XT PE. GT vs Ultra too with 50Mhz less on core and mem but one Molex and $100 less?
