guys,especially those just got new vga and ready to max it out,which of the 3d benchmark u would like to measure ur vga stock performance and oc-ed ones?

some time ago i even wonder which 3d benchmark is preferred by most of lowyat overclocker,probably is 3dmark06,i can see it frequently posted


p/s:mod,delete it if u find this thread is unnecessary

i like aquamark..but dontknown why when i try bench my card it cant complete..like 3dmark06 too

3DMark Vantage

3DMark 06 for me... It is the most commonly used benchmark to measure GPU capability. Even some GPU maker provided it as bundle software.



Aquamark is kind of old and outdated software. So I do think current generation GPU have more to offer. Thus, not that accurate.



Havent release la, bro.. Hehe...

Any idea when will it be released??

-pWs-

I trust Futuremark.

Yea i know, hopefully i can get free codes for the Pro/Advanced version like the previous version (although im not really into benching )


Not sure, still no solid date yet.

I'd go for 06. I dont know, love the dragon during the test. Or maybe its my first vga measurement tool, so can compare before and after results by using only one tool.

3dmark05...coz my cpu score sux big time in 06 >_>

of course 3d mark 06 maaa...even though my score not too high...

3dmark06.

we're in 2008 already, why bother 2005?

then again - they all suck. you can't judge performance based on 3dmarks alone.

put it this way, try crossfire the HD2600XT. you'll get score boost from 5k+ to 8k+!

actual gaming? Blehhhh! barely any difference.

@coolice
i'd go for 3DMark05 why? because completed faster than 3DMark06

to be honest, i choose real game performance rather than synthetic benchmark...

sorry i love all of them!!!! i m a bencher remember?

3dmarks are like e-penis!

err i like AM3.. can see large score

Which 3D Benchmark is your favourite game?

which 3d benchmark is your favourite?

or which is your favourite game for 3d benchmark?

anyway i like using F.E.A.R - i could pass all other stuff but this game is the one that usually forces me to lower the core / mem.

in-game : Call Of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare (Ghillie Suite), Battlefield 2 (Operation Clean Sweep), F.E.A.R

generally, i'd like to test the game with at least 4x AA, 16x AF...

@Sniper 69

How do u benchmark using Battlefield 2? Inside game menu got option to click meh?

, no la... just use

renderer.drawfps 1

IMO, BF2 uses CPU and GPU power

basically i posted this for overclocker/bencher in overclock section but it got move to software section now
so answer is which 3d benchmark is your favourite?

3DMark 2006

3DMark 2006.

I used to 3DMark05 but just change to 3DMark06 for more up to date benchmarking software compare to 3DMark05.

believe it or not...i love them all....(oh madonion lol)
