Official 3DMark Scores Database


Recommended Posts

From what I see, PhysX doesn't boost GPU score, but the CPU score by taking the load off the CPU and putting it onto the GPU.

Thats exactly right. Its a bit of a dodgy thing to look at realistically though, because in the real world youe GPU cant do physX and graphics with its full power as it does with this test, if you see what I mean. Having physX enabled in game will lead to some detriment of frames, just depends how powerful the GPU is.

Any how, some more for the table shift: This is my Uni PC (PC2 in my sig)

Will update as soon as I get home.

But yeah, 3DMark is a really general gauge of computer performance. There ARE some flaws with the way the tests are run in that they are quite heavily weighted upon CPU. When in real word performance testing, a 3.0GHz + Core 2 Duo would perform just as well as a 3.0GHz + Core 2 Quad; at that point the GPU really becomes the main deciding factor in performance.

Well...I just installed my Evga GTX 260 SC. No other hardware changes.

I want to ask before I post a screen shot: My previous score was something like 14,475 and now it's 14,946...Is that really the maximum increase? I only ask because I expected a higher one. I know it's just a silly benchmarking result and doesn't reflect gaming performance but...Yeah. I was hoping for 16k or so heh.

nothing overclocked or any fancy stuff

You're going to have to submit that with the required information. Thanks!

Things you forgot to include is a GPU-Z screenshot as well as the submission format that I've requested. Sorry for the inconvenience but it's for consistency sake.

@ DigitalManifestation

Are you using PhysX? You're only about ~100 points off from the 15k mark so maybe not bad of an increase.

Things I would try are to try and push your CPU more as well as maybe overclock your video card as well. Might yield a couple hundred more points.

Hey digitalmanifestation, the reason there is little improvement is because 3dmark06 is very CPU limited with modern hardware, so the fact your CPU is at the same speed explains it. If you benchmarked vantage you would have seen a good improvement in score, so dont worry. If you want the extra points in 06 the only way to get it is to boost up your CPU speed :s.

I ran Vantage with the performance settings as my monitor does not support the resolutions used for high.

Haven't had time to update due to work, doing that right now :)

By the way, NICE Tri-SLI score.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
