Masterchief79 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 you can buy the pro version http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark03/ if you love benching i think 14$ isn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04ahgy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is SLI patch (for example in the Vantage stage) allowed for P45 / X48 boards? Thanks, HGyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BadMoJoe Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 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.

Rasparthe Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BadMoJoe Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondacity Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 having 4 stages is not easy. having the 775 helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasparthe Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Personally I would have liked to have seen all 65nm chips disallowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_darth_vader Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasparthe Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) 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, 2012 by Rasparthe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_darth_vader Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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=?]* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 What url are you trying to submit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasparthe Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_darth_vader Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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."
