Humble - Aquamark3 scores

[Brenjen]

I never run these artificial benchmarks so I don't really understand all the settings. I set my monitor resolution  to 1024X768 because that's how I have it set in AH but that's all I changed from the default test settings.

 My PC that I have outlined in the other thread "uber PC" scored as follows:

 Tri-score - GFX 13,143 - CPU 10,665 - overall 81,339


 I don't overclock, but; using coolbits "auto-detect"  to overclock my video card & Asus 10% CPU auto-overclock function on my mobo my PC scored as follows:

 Tri-score - GFX 14,301 - CPU 11,716 - overall 88,794

 So, as artificial benchies go...is that good? LOL, I might D/L this benchie onto my old DELL & see how it does too. It woul be lucky to score over 100 in all the categories added together.

only reason I mentioned aquamark is that its the one i've seen skuzzy "recommend" as being most useful to AH. I only use it as a reference point after a clean install. Then if I make a change or seem to be having an issue I have someplace to start. Score is outstanding from what I understand...

I just ran mine after reading this and got

CPU 9,575
GFX 12,150

Total score was 743?? (goofed and didnt write it down...)

I just flew a couple of hops so had FS autostart fired up to kill alot of processes. This score about 1300 better then "normal" and 1800-2000 better then with my "other" drivers for the 7900GT.

Thanks for posting it....gives at least some idea for the breakdowns in case folks are making "bang vs buck" choices...

3600 9,575 vs 4000 10,665

7900GT 12,150 vs 7900GTX 14,301

as for totals I dont know if that "adds up" or if component quality factors in as well....obviously you have more and better memory better MB etc as well...
