for a high end new card the scores for 3d mark 06 look quite low , i guess this card is not the core 216 version hence the low price .

but still atleast it runs the games smoothly , as for the 4870 1gb model bros MEDIA inc now has the latest 1gb turbo edition 4870 cards with iceq4+ models .

INSHALLAH will bet geting 2 of these for my i7 rig , fajoo though u have now used the card it would have been better to do some home work before jumping in and geting the card.

but still it looks damn sexy n menacing .

cheers to u for owning the card that no one else has .

Exactly, Everyone running OC Processors are getting High scores. I am yet to see a single person running q6600 at stock speed and getting something like 15000 3D marks.
@ Ninja and Faju

Check for PhysX.

Maybe its turned off, that might be the reason, u r getting such low score.

Hi Fajoo, looks like you and I got the same card. After finding out that its 192 sp instead of 216 sp I called galaxy computers to give a piece of my mind. Lucky for them there phone was busy. So I started reading the rest of this thread and it sort of calms me down. I strictly asked that dude at Galaxy whether it was 216 sp and he said yes it is. I am still a bit angry at them.
well i didn't actually buy from galaxy, i bought it from czone and they brought it for me from inno3d distributor here not galaxy......but the excuse that distributor guy gave was lame as hell that:

"We couldn't find the link to 192 sp version on the net so we gave the link to 216 sp version", abay bhai link nhi milraha to khud mention kardo wahan par jaisay czone ne kiya hai......

Exactly, Everyone running OC Processors are getting High scores. I am yet to see a single person running q6600 at stock speed and getting something like 15000 3D marks.
bro u should be getting a higher score then me as u have q6600, even at stock speeds coz of 2 extra cores which 3dmark takes advantage from....

@fajoo
well this thing really rang the bell for czone as now they remember to mention that this is a 192 sp version not a 216 stream processor chip
your howl of rage penetrated outside the walls of the web 2.0....
(i just overdid it:)
yep atleast these czone guys are courteous enough to mention, those bloody galaxy people still have not corrected the error on the website....

anyway fajoo did you tried running vantage yet ?and what are your load gpu temps buddy ?

i think score is normal....
nopes and i don't intend to coz i know i will get low scores coz of processor...besides i don't reallly care about synthetic benchies.......load temps, already mentioned before, in 3dmark 2k6, i got max 54 degrees while in crysis warhead bench, i got max 56 degrees...

for a high end new card the scores for 3d mark 06 look quite low , i guess this card is not the core 216 version hence the low price .

but still atleast it runs the games smoothly , as for the 4870 1gb model bros MEDIA inc now has the latest 1gb turbo edition 4870 cards with iceq4+ models .

well bro i was also first angry to find out that it is not 216 sp version but there is hardly 5-6% performance difference between the two and i think 2.5k less price with such excellent cooler and bundle is a much better deal.......the gpu cooler on this gpu if sold alone would cost around 5k......

secondly, i read around 5-6 reviews about 4870 vs gtx260 and about 70% reviews showed supremacy of gtx260, so 4870 is not actually faster then this gpu......about homework, bro they mentioned the link to 216 sp version, so i was sure that it will be the same version that they have mentioned on the site but now it doesn't really matter to me coz of awesome performance of this gpu......

I actually asked them if i can get 4870 instead but after confirming with galaxy that it is not the iceq version of 4870, i decided not to get it, now u are saying that they have iceq4 version (what the hell is wrong with these galaxy people, they don't even know what they are selling)...i will get a better processor in sometime to utilize the full potential of the gpu....

a

Thanx but i think the ninja guy has the same gpu too....

Yes, I do believe Fajoo is getting an excellent score according to his processor. I ran Far Cry 2 benchmark and I got 41 average which is only 5 fps higher than what fajoo got. I am certain now that my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU big time. I need to change my motherboard not to mention get a new CPU cooler so that I can overclock the hell out of my CPU in order to get full performance out of my 260 GTX. I may need to change my RAM too.

@Ninja: bhai don't upgrade i think your current setup is fine, just play games and enjoy and if later u feel lagging games then upgrade. Don't fix it until it's not broken

You might be right Baber. Almost all the games I like run well on all settings maxed out. Still its definitely something I will consider in the future. One thing is certain, I won't be buying intel boards ever again.

well yes you will certainly get better performance out of higher clock....however, if you are still getting good performance, you don't need to overclock either.....if you are a benchmark freak then you can upgrade mobo right away, otherwise, no need....

I think farcry is multicore optimized and it can utilize all 4 cores of quad.....btw did u run farcry 2 bench in dx9 or dx10 and were the setting ultra high??? i ran it in dx9 with ultra high details....

Yes I ran it on DX9. For some reason I couldn't run it on DX10 at Full Screen. The game just wouldn't load on DX10. And yes overall quality was on Ultra high and resolution was 1400 x 1050.

3DMark06 scores should not be taken very seriously.

My XFX 8800 GS Alpha Dog XXX Edition crossed 11,000 points barrier easily at stock settings.

3DMark Vantage portrays a more accurate picture.

Ninjawithin you would certainly benifit from overclocking your processor.

3.0+ should not be a problem. Though you will need to change your motherboard to do so! Wont cost you much and give you great gains.

@fajoo24

If im not mistaken, there is a little sticker on the box which clearly states the model number of the card. The company model number. N that wud have clearly said 216SP or similar to denote its a 216! Aqal lagata admi :p

Anyways ... yahan saab baray baray gpus dhek kar my lil 4670 jus cried, ran away and hid in a corner :p

Hey LeGenD123 I see you are running Q6600 at stock speed as well. What are your 3D mark 06 scores? Or do you use Vantage now?I think I am going to download vantage too. See how my scores turn out then.

I know this question was not pointed at me but I would like to say that you are mistaken. There is no such sticker on the box that says either 192sp or 216sp, in fact there is hardly anything mentioned on the box at all. There is just one random number written on the sticker which I am guessing is serial no.
