Quake3World

A friend of mine got a new PC a couple days ago, and he showed me the 3DMark05 demo thingie with that Space Marine blasting everything away.

HOLY SHIT DOES IT LOOK GOOD! :icon28: :icon28: :icon28:

Anyone seen it? It's as good as the UE3 demo for the PS3, maybe even better. (Ran like shit on his brand-spanking new PC though.)

Yeah, I got 13 fps on that demo :/

Demo runs in real time fine for me. Looks great I'll give it that.

Fine as in how many fps...

Can't remember but it was over 40 I'm sure, which for what it is, was "fine".

i think i got 4k on 05

Here is a funny idea...

Lets all download 3dmark 01 and see what score we get

Aye come on, here it is:

Lets grab it and see

i've got that installed too... 25k or something if i remember right.

Nice, system?

I don't tend to test these things myself. I tried 05 just for the tech demos TBH, and 01 never used to complete because when i first got 01 all those years ago my PC used to shit it out.

my system aint all that great tbh...

odd, on my first run, I only got 19,153 points? Althought you have a BFG, and i have just a GT, but i have a AMD 3200 and you a P4 2500, we both have the same ram...

Very odd, and worrying why mine is so low...

His CPU and his gfx card are faster and you wonder how he got a higher score?

my amd 2500 is clocked at 2.5ghz... i pumped the specs of my cpu into an amd rating calculator and it came back as 3800xp

SplishSplash wrote:His CPU and his gfx card are faster and you wonder how he got a higher score?

Yes, but 5,000 points? The demos displayed in 01 are minimum detail at best. They require nothing like the PC we both have, and so its obvious that we would both get a good score. But 5000 points more is a HUGE leap in score for something so small, wouldn't you say?

my system needs a major overhaul... at the moment i can't even run it with the lid on (dual slot 6800 + sff shuttle == not a good idea). Wanting Intel todo something interesting with their dothan chips, but nothing as of yet

there is something a bit off with your system, I was looking through some text files, and when I had this system without the 6800u, just with a ati 9800 pro (hated that card), I got 18,500 in 01SE.

Great, even more worry

My system DOES run great. 60 frames constant in doom 3 ultra detial at 1280x1024.

But if what your saying is true, then eh? Or maybe there really Is that much of a jump from the GT to the BFG, and not so much from the 9800 to the GT in terms of what "needs" to be done in these old demos?

Anybody else here have a system like mine that can test?

Don't you have an uber 1337 system at GAME?

Dunno, we can't even afford a PC, we have a 133 in the back :lol:

Can you come and fix our printer BTW? :lol:

this thread may have finally made me realise how much of a dipshit i am for constantly pissing around with my hardware...

edit: to clarify... i've been costing up a overhaul on my desktop and my server, and reading this makes me realise how pointless it'll be considering all i'd probably notice is an increase in 3d marks which i run about once every 6 months.

Turbanator wrote:this thread may have finally made me realise how much of a dipshit i am for constantly pissing around with my hardware...

I don't. I have "never" overclocked my CPU or GPU. I spent enough money on this system, and it performs fantastic for "me". Why would I want to risk messing it up or take a few years off its life just for another 10 FPS?

Maybe in a year or so when my 3200 is back down on the "low end" cpu list (Its near enough now dammit), and I'm eyeing up those 5600 CPU's, I'll clock mine for a while before I get a new one.

Its just to much risk for me.

If it's a Pro10600 with ColorBus or GMG I’ll put you in my todo list.
Might pop in later though to see the store manager and ask him why his employees are abusing people on GAMEs internet access, which I’m pretty sure is against the law.
