WHAT DOES YOUR VIDEO CARD BENCHMARK?

[Dragon]

WOW, I got a 98 with my 8600, runs AH2 just fine at refresh rate of 60.  Vista rules.  I do have 11 windows open at the moment along with nothing turned off in the background.

Im assuming your using printscreen to take the screen shot.
When I do it and transfer it over. Its barely legible and not even worth saving to upload

I use snag it for my captures.

 It will look like that until you upload it,then when you post it,it will look fine.

What 'picture' program are you pasting your screen capture in?  Windows Print Screen should work just fine.

Did anyone notice the 'globe' they use is not very accurate?

'270' with a GeForce 7900GS.

Little ways away from the highest ranker of 1253 (According to the site).

I guess I have a lil more to go on this system  ... then its time to bring out the big Guns bwahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Print screen next I save it in paint then load it to photobucket, then copy the thumbnail to the forum. Tildeath you bastage. Very nice!

Tildeath... Last score was card cranked. Here is default. Is yours O/C'd?

They are anticipating global warming, earthquakes and nuclear war besides meteorites!

It is using a hacked DX9 DLL file.  There is no way this is a valid benchmark/test.  If it cannot use the standard supplied DX9 DLL then something is very wrong.

Agreed, something not right about this program.  Been in the OC world for some time now and never came across this "ahem" utility.  But it was fun to push the card a little though to see where it would go to.

It also bears absolutely no resemblance to the real world.  Seems to be heavily biased towards NVidia.  A bit of a joke if you ask me.  Then again, the NVidia fanbois would eat it up.

Next thing you know, there will be another benchmark/test that shows the ATI cards 4 times faster, using a hacked DX9 DLL which allows hardware tessellation to work.

Yes it was OCed a lil, not to its limits though.  This could be a 24/7 OC for "my" 280GTX.

Warning these OC settings could blow a Video Card out without proper cooling and case ventilation.  Do not try this at home!
Core Clock: 621 Normal / OC 754
Shader Clock: 1350 Normal / OC 1639
Memory Clock: 1134 Normal / OC 1258

LOL Like I said it was fun.  It gave me a number to get to and I went for once after I got my base score.  If my 1251 takes a hit, out comes the LN pots and that "special" video card, MB and processor.  I have 24 liters of LN  sitting doing nothing at the moment.

kinda OT but what temps do your GPUs run at? after an hour of AH with lots of cons, smoke effects etc mine settles at 70-75deg (fan alternating between med and full speed) whereas CPU cores 1&2 settle at about 45-50deg. 75 seems high to me, although apparently within specs according to nVidia.

btw normal (non gaming) use GPU 50-55deg, CPUs 30-35deg.
