Do any of you guys use benchmarking software??

i personally find it very useful to see how much of a performance gain i can get by overclocking

i use aquamark 3, 3dmark03 pro, and 3dmark05 pro

right now im workin on tweakin my system so i can clear 50k on my aquamark 3 score

how bout yall??

I use both 3DMARK 2001SE Professional build 3.5.0 and 3DMARK03 Professional build 3.4.0.

Both works awesome.

2001se
2003
Aqua
PTTest (by Passmark) for overall system testing.


I have seen artifacts pop up in 2001se that at the same gpu core and mem speed didn't show artifacts at all in any other bench, so I use 2001se most. If it runs se without artifacts, it's good.

I don't mean to hijack this post, but this is somewhat related. What is a "good" aquamark 3 score. My one system gets like 5,000, and the other gets a little over 50,000. I mean 50,000 to 5,000 is a big difference, but is 50,000 average, really good, poor? I think I saw someone had 100,000.

the aquamark 3 score is just your average fps x100

my highest score so far is 50,421 with my rig

What? x100? That'd mean I'm getting 500fps to get 50,000. You must mean x1000, because I think I got closer to 50fps.
