Doom 3 1.0

281.9 FPS, DosFreak, i7 930@2.8Ghz, Gigabyte X58A-UD3R, 16GB DDR3 1066 CL7-7-7-20, EVGA GTX 980ti 355.60, Sound Blaster ZxR, 10 Pro x64

Brand new laptop coming in the next week or two so I'll bench my new and old laptops then.

That system really really needs the CPU overclocked, I bet the CPU can do 20*175 Mhz = 3500 MHz at ~1.25V which wont need much more power than the stock setting. If you dont care about power consumtion and have a decent cooler I would try 191*21 = 4GHz at ~1.4V with load-line calibration activated.

As long as the CPU temp stays under 90C, the QPI (CPU VTT) voltage is below 1.375V and the load core voltage is lower than 1.425V the CPU will last forever.

Disable turbo when overclocking otherwise the CPU probably will jump to the 22x and 23x multi and make the system crash.

Agreed.

I've had very random stability issues in the past which I narrowed down to the Gigabyte SATA and the X-Fi card. Disabled\Removed both of those and I was rock solid again. During that troubleshooting I removed the overclock and just haven't bumped it up again since I really haven't need it. For instance GTA V runs great on this machine at 1920x1200 with full details.

/Edit 395.4 FPS i7 930@4011Mhz 8-8-8-21

I'm interested what the scores will look like with the processor in the new laptop:
Processor 5th Generation Intel® Broadwell™ i7-5700HQ (2.7GHz - 3.5GHz, 6MB Intel® Smart Cache)

278.3, DosFreak, i7 5700HQ@3.5GHz, MSI GT72 1666, 32GB DDR3-1600 CL8-8-8-24, Nvidia 980m 355.60, Realtek, 10x64

Nice!

I updated your Socket-1366 system's score aswell as I missed your edit, now that system's performance is more in line with what it should be! 😀

Here's a first gen Intel iMac I rescued from the dumpster not too long ago. It's based on the Core Duo CPU. This is basically a dual-core Dothan with SSE3 support.

Core Duo T2500 @ 2.00GHz/667FSB (2MB L2), Mobile Radeon X1600 (128MB, 128-bit GDDR3, Catalyst 10.2), 2GB DDR2-667 CL5, onboard audio, Win7 x86

640x480 medium: 91.2 fps
1024x768 Ultra: 25.0 fps
1280x1024 Ultra: 19.1 fps

I think the 128MB of VRAM is really hurting the Ultra benchmarks.

Nice but really slow! 😁

When it comes to Video Cards, PCI-E was the new hot thing and the top cards were the ATI X800 XT PE and the Geforce 6800 Ultra. The ATI X850 series only adds PCI-E interface to the X800 series so we can include those aswell. SLI and Crossfire were not available to the wide public in August 2004 so no dual action in the period correct list. (late Nov for SLI, early 2005 for Crossfire if I remember correctly)

Hmmm... the Quadro FX 3400 had to have been available in October of 2004 and it has SLI:

(the computer that I had the 3400 in was released in October of 2004, and the PSU had a second GPU connector for utilizing said SLI). It was a workstation of course, so maybe you mean to say none of the regular consumer PC stuff had it.

For the non professional side at least it was a driver thing, SLI capable cards were released earlier but the SLI capable driver came in November 2004 if Im not mistaken. I also think the first availible non professional SLI chipset the nForce4-SLI was released in November.

This dosnt matter for the rules though. The reason SLI isnt allowed in the period correct list is that it would make Socket-939 nForce4* + 2x Geforce 6800* the only viable platform for top scores. Now many different CPUs, chipsets and video cards can compete near the top of the list. This is also the reason why the cutoff date was changed to December 31 2004. The reason for the not very strict rules when it comes to A64 core revisions is because many people dosnt even know what core revision* their CPU has and there isnt any rule that say you have to post a CPU-Z screenshot.

*or the Socket-940 and Quadro versions of the same chipset and video cards.
*AMD used different core revisions for the same CPU models.

Here my result:

Pentium 4 3.2Ghz HT
Asus P4P800SE
Asus ATI Radeon X850XT PE not overclocked
2GB RAM (1+0.5+0.5)
SATA 250GB
Windows XP SP3
Catalyst 10.2
Doom 3 v1.0, 1024x768 Ultra

Result - 63.3 FPS

That is a nice period correct system for Doom 3!

You would get a better score if you get another 1GB module and run dual channel.

I need to rebench alot of systems. For example it looks a bit strange that the FX55 got beaten by the P4 EE and the dual Opteron system in the non overclocked period correct list. This is because Doom 3 v1.3 was used when I benched the FX55 but v1.0 was used with the P4 EE and the dual Opteron system. The list is a bit misleading as it is now but I will try to correct this sometime in the future.

Why you get single-channel memory mode? Missed the 1+0.5+0.5 string, sorry...
What are "Memory Acceleration mode" and "Performance mode" settings in BIOS for this system?
Tnx.

Got new benches. This time the machine I tested on is a bit different:

- Pentium D 945 or Pentium Dual Core E6600 CPU
- Zotac nForce 780i SLi
- 2GB DDR2 1066MHz CL5 (Corsair Dominator)
- 2x Geforce 7950 512Mb in SLI

I guess these go into the "somewhat period correct" category:

The pentium D 945 at 3.74 GHZ:

1024x768 - high settings:

1280x1024 - ultra settings:

The pentium dual core (wolfdale) E6600 at 3.06 GHZ:

1024x768 - high settings:

1280x1024 - ultra settings:

You would gain a few FPS if you benched at 1024*768 Ultra and not 1280*1024 Ultra 😀

1024x768 Ultra:

the atom result is not to far from the Broadwell i3 when I tested it, on win8.1 with single channel 1600 and doom 3 1.3.1 1024 ultra

Main PC running Doom3 under WinXP. I'm actually surprised it wasn't a little faster. The XP result is only around 30 frames higher than Win7. Then again, of all the benchmarks I've tested, the only ones that really got a major boost from XP were 3DMark2000, 2001, and some older DX7/8 games. 3DMark03/05/06, DX9C games, and the synthetics all performed roughly the same. Some of them were even a bit faster on W7.

It was still enough... for now 😁

Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.1GHz, GeForce GTX 760 (361.43), 8GB DDR3-1600 CL9, Asus Crosshair IV Formula (890FX), X-Fi Ti, Win7 64

Phenom II is not half bad! It's faster than 65nm Core 2 Quad, clock-for-clock.
My Q6700 at 3.33GHz produced 265.4 fps. This slightly lower clocked Phenom X6 (3.1GHz) posted 268.5 fps. I'm quite fond of this modest little Phenom setup! It's plenty fast, can handle 4K HTML5 YouTube video, and should be quite good at multithreaded stuff with six cores. And unlike the FX 6xx0 processors, the Phenom has six FP units to go along with its integer units. 😀

Phenom II (K10) also provides a pretty healthy boost in IPC over K8. I'd say the increase in performance is similar to going from K7 to K8.
