Just want to ask.. How come you all have offline results?? My 06 need to log in to futuremark website then can see the results le... how come???

either is very old free version... 1.0.2... or advanced or pro edition like mine... which can be updated to 1.1.0

yeah.
but im waiting for a price drop and better cooling on the evga680i.
cos i heard that nearly all the nforce680 chipsets run very hot.
hotter than the p35.
and im very scared of heat.
=P

My P35 motherboard is already running hot liao, can't imgine 680i chip. But hey, let talk frankly, we pay so much for all these highend hardware, even if we run them till 100 degree they should not burn down on us. Or else why should we spend so much $$$ on them? Get nvidia and Intel to guarantee/warranty us that their products will withstand 100 degree. It a MUST!!!

haha price drop and better cooling dont go together.. better cooling means price stays. same cooling means price drop. its neither one

haha basically dont test them and try them.. they can and they will tell u they will NOT change hardware for u... its YOUR fault that it burnt not theirs.. they will say its out of rated spec. haha so yea ah be warned!

 

[alexsoon1984]

Haii...hope the coming Penryn chip is cooler.

Looks ok to me.... but your res is not the default?? Your cpu score?
How come your 2.0sm is lower than 3.0???

[NightRaven]

[ov2rey]

bro always run 3dmark at default settings

i select all.. then unclick all the cpu test... my cpu test score around 800 only....

 

[NightRaven]

haha yea bro but u dont do the default. u cant compare with ppl!

 

[tecnica]

broke 10k barrier liao..

how come lower cpu clock speed with better ram timing can improve so much?

 

[NightRaven]

?? huh? improve?

 

[jtchoy]

Ya lor, where got improvement? 200 points drop leh...

 

[ov2rey]

haha yea bro but u dont do the default. u cant compare with ppl!

okie.. then i tomorrow test run default setting..

 

[tecnica]

iirc i bench with 5-6-6-17 is ard 9k+++ points.. or i rmb wrongly?
