Waiting for HL2 Benchmark :lol:

I dunno. It must run so fast on my P.C. that it doesn't have time to get a result.

Either that or the program is just not running on my PC. I double click and nothing happens. Does anybody get the same ?

Windows XP Pro
MSI KT3-Ultra
Athlon XP 2500+
GeForceFX 5900 Ultra
Slight Overvlock on CPU and GPU

P.S.

Before replying, please bear in mind that I couldn't care less about the whole, my ATI/NVidia GeRadeon 985900 FX pro Ultra clocked at squidillion MHz yet still has a temp of Absolute Zero is bigger than your similarly stupidly high spec card. They're both O.K so 'nuff said.

so?

benches like 3dmark03 only tests the gfx and say squat about the rest.
you relly need those combinations too, in a way, thay are better.

It could be that everyone have only tested R9800 or fx5900, but it seems that the score is more dependant of your CPU than your gfx card, even with the best 3d accelerators on the market.

yet it is still described as a game benchmark, not like a graphicscard benchmark.
and yes it is heavily cpu dependant. i dont know if you chacked the physics in that thing, but it's not small amunts used.
AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of a computer system.

it might come as a surprise to you, but regular game actually IS also dependant of cpu speeds, just look at the latest athlon64/quakedemo previews.

Not *THIS* dependent... This is overkill! :)

well there seems to be quite a difference in performance if i enable/disable my soft9700, so i'd say its good enough.

3dmark 2001 was very cpu dependant aswell

In 3dMark you could tripple your mark just by switching 3d card...

It seems like half of Aquamark is dependent on the CPU, and the other half on the GFX card.

as it should be, ther cpu isnt a spare piece of hardware you toss in the computer just for the fun of it.
aquamark gives a score on both cpu and gpu, but i researched how they get the final score. but im sure the banchmark is as they intended. and it gives a view of the system as a whole. and there IS a huge difference between a 2000+ and a p4 3ghz with hyperthreading. so that sould be taken into consideration too

In most games, thats all there is. Since my 1ghz I have updated my CPU 4 times, each time it have been an dissapointment that cannot be compared to the times I updated my graphiccard.

If you do a test between a 2Ghz/Radeon 9800 Pro VS a 3,2Ghz/GeForce 4, which would you think will score the highest score in all modern games ...

... except for Morrowind.
