People, if you're going to post your scores, PLEASE post your system specs along with them. Benchmarks are meaningless without them.

1665 3dmarks on my amd 2600 with a 9800 pro that hasnt been rebooted in 2 weeks. This is kinda low. My amd64 3500 is running the test right now.

edit: 3900~ on my a64 3500+ with a x800 pro. 1gb of ram. SOMETHING IS WRONG

Nvidia today announced that they have set the bar for 3dMark05, the latest PC performance benchmark from Futuremark Corporation. In benchmark tests performed by NVIDIA using 3dMark05, the Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI achieved an industry high-score of 7229. Nvidia SLI is a patent-pending hardware and software solution that enables gamers to connect two PCI Express-based Nvidia GeForce 6-Series graphics cards on their PCI Express-compatible motherboards to deliver blazing performance.

I'm downloading it as we speak.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

that ship demo is mighty impressive!! I hope we get graphics like that on next gen consoles.

 

[shuri]

The ship demo is one of the most impressive real thing demo i've seen in desktop system. And please, forget about having that kind of thing on the nextgen, this gen can barely do the same real time 3d effects that were used in 3D Marks 2001

Apparently people w/ ATI cards get big score boosts when you use their "optimised" drivers. Thanks nVidia, for leading the industry into a policy of deception!
