anyone here ran 3dmark2005?

[liljim]

I have been using 3dmark2001 se for testing and decided to try out 2005 but im only getting 1-2 FPS with it. Has anyone else had trouble with it?

[PCguy]

I havent tried it yet. Did you run the full version or the free version?

i had trouble with it too , i got really low fps on that too cant remember what but it was pretty poor i think its just that version. Think they made it to test future cards and top end cards out atm ?

I ran the full version but not the full test, i ran game 1, 2, and 3 and cpu test 1 and 2. I was reading on their support site that geforce cards dont do well on v2005 but it should do better than a score of 282. I score an average of 8900 with v2001.

Im using a geforce fx 5500 256ddr
core freq. 296
mem freq. 456

hmm that strange maybe do full test? i prefur the older versions of it compared to that new version anyway. I dont think its anything to worry about tho dude.
u got the new drivers and dx etc so should be fine?

P.S what cpu u got ?

because specs it says :

Minimum System Recommendations

* x86 compatible processor with SSE support, 2GHz
* 512MB of RAM
* 1.5GB of free hard disk space
* Windows® 2000/XP with the latest updates & Service Packs
* DirectX®9.0c or later
* DirectX®9.0 compliant graphics adapter that has 128MB of memory and is capable of PixelShader 2.0 or higher
* Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6

u meet them lil jim ?

[liljim]

yep, i slip just in the required specs

XP3000 @ 2.1 GHz
512 kingston hyperx
50 or so free gigs
XP pro
DX 9.0c
IE6 SP2

I dont guess its a big deal, just curious why it ran to poorly. I dont have any complaints with gaming performance but i was shocked to see such a low score.

yea dnt worry lil jim its just that version, i heard its more about cpu usage as well as gcard usage. So i guess if u had a 3ghz p4 it would give you better results thats what i heard anyways so dnt worry dudey
