February 8, 201213 yr After some P4 benching it's obvious that 3D Mark 03 Pro owners really DO have an advantage concerning CPU clock freqs (even though it may be smaller than I thought first). I always pressed Esc in the loading screen of the CPU test to stop the 3D mark, but I got several bluescreens at that point, because the CPU nevertheless seems to be doing the first few calculations of the CPU test before it can stop. This is pretty mean... the 3D tests ran without any problems, and when it's done, it crashes due to unnecessary tests. Especially becuase I was around 20 points below Madshrimps Belgium's submission with my last run and lower freq. Now i have to crack this copy and upload the result on another system with a normal free version...
February 8, 201213 yr you can buy the pro version http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark03/ if you love benching i think 14$ isn't too bad.
February 9, 201213 yr Is SLI patch (for example in the Vantage stage) allowed for P45 / X48 boards? Thanks, HGyu

February 16, 201213 yr s478 defiantly out classed by s775 due to chip-set and boards. How is an 3850 video card AGP slot s487 to compete against x48 PCI 560TI card. Not a chance no way no how an s478 going to be anywhere but the bottom of the not so close winner runner ups. I'm doomed and same problem with ( pros' ) and non pro versions of 3dMark03. I can't even submit a score without an internet connection, someone pile on the dirt on my s478 graveyard competition.
February 16, 201213 yr Your misread the rules, it was meant to say "Only use Cedar Mill core". Despite that you can submit without an internet connection. You can save the 3dmark file offline and bring it to a computer with an internet connection to submit.
February 16, 201213 yr Thank you for the update, I still failed to see how a s487 in a p4c800-Deluxe or variant with a saphire 3850 AGP video card has a snow ball chance in hell up against a air cooled ceder mill let alone any other s775 in an Asus Rampage x48 chipset mother board easily reaching 5Ghz on air might as will slap in a 560TI video card for a death nail on any s478 on nitro or helium. This going to happen s478 on nitro will still place last on the bottom against stock air fanned s775. Did I miss something, its class warfare mismatch. Even a s478 in a G31/33 chip set that does have a PCI slot, I still have trouble breaking 40,000 CPU bottled necked s478 even with my nividia 460 PCI video card. I'll score the best s478 and I still can't get close to a good s775 set up.
February 16, 201213 yr Asus P5GD1 is PCI-E. Got this board here, I'll test it with a 4Ghz Northwood if I have the time. Should be great to see how the 7970 performs on it
February 17, 201213 yr Massman. I left with the inpression that you plan to remove requirement of verification link of all the stages. But i still see it. Are you remove or not?
February 17, 201213 yr No, the link necessity remains. The response was following a complaint that indicated 3DMark03 wouldn't give a link, but using the latest version it does.
February 17, 201213 yr Does Vantage provide an offline link? I could not find one while using Vantage so had to get Ethernet drivers installed in order to get internet on bench rig. Very annoying and hate having extra drivers running benchmarks Edited February 17, 201213 yr by Rasparthe
February 17, 201213 yr No, the link necessity remains. I try to submit result in Vantage stage without verification link but ... * A verification link is required. - your submission does not comply to this rule Verification url must match pattern: http://3dmark.com/3dmv/[0-9=?]*
February 17, 201213 yr Perhaps the Advanced/Pro versions provide offline saving of a file but I could not find an option to offline submit using the Basic Version. I think Darth is saying that he doesn't have the ability to setup internet on his machine and therefore no verification link for Vantage
February 17, 201213 yr What url are you trying to submit ? I dont have a submission on futuremark sait. I only have a sceenshot. I leave the field for this url clear. If that verification is no more require I think that not be happen.
February 17, 201213 yr Author I dont have a submission on futuremark sait. I only have a sceenshot. I leave the field for this url clear. If that verification is no more require I think that not be happen. Massman said it's still required, no change about this rule. You might have missunderstood his response. No, the link necessity remains. The response was following a complaint that indicated 3DMark03 wouldn't give a link, but using the latest version it does. Преведено: "Не, изискването за линк остава. Последвалият отговор беше във връзка с оплакване, че 3DMark03 не дава линк, но с последната версия работи както трябва." Edited February 17, 201213 yr by I.nfraR.ed
