ah, the latest installment that promises to prove that your system is much suckier than you ever suspected.... :thumbs:

I wonder how badly the numbers will drop from 3Dmark03....

Thanks Sal. :)

thanks for the post.

i have run the test and i scored crap. i know i am due for a new video card as i have been holding out for pci express and nforce4 or maybe the new ati chipset coming for the althlon 64. i do not know which card i should go for but i may lean towrd ati again for the lack of products of nvidia or late release. they have hurt the industry alot because of it. if ati chipset proves to be good, i may go ati all the way. i want all the toys on my next board such as pci xpress and sata2.

here is the main reason i might go with nvidia. i want the sli option. i may want 2 sub level pci express cards instead of 1 really expensive card. here is the only reason i really would consider pci express. all i know is that i want top notch instead of mediocre.

Well I'll be the first one to post a score for 3DMark05.
I'd like to see some other scores from systems close to mine just to see if I'm in the ball park. :confused:

I'm leavin on Vacation this morning, be back in 16 days to see all the results. ;)

Jim yer right, this test really stresses your system :eek:

Talk about hardcore... I scored under 1k. I need to download new drivers and try again.
