I think it might be time to start thinking about upgrading. But I hope this PC is good enough to enjoy Vanguard launch. I think so, so no worries.

No. I won't post my scores, because I don't think my laptop can run it.

I really need a new computer...

Neatton · 02-24-2006, 10:43 AM

I hear you guys on how brutal the 06' program is. Everytime I run that CPU test I can just see my processor grinding to a halt. Poor lil proc

edit: Chances are im going to be picking up my 2nd 7800 GTX when the 7900s come out. I will probably put a single 7900 into my wifes rig and then getting a 2nd when the next latest greatest comes out.

rabb1t · 02-24-2006, 06:07 PM

The thing you have to remember with the PC marks in '06 is that it is testing for both dual core and the PhysX chip. So unless you have both it will beat the poo outa you.

Of course, trying to play that game I run really slow, so it could just be that '06 is way over-speced. My system can't be that bad. /cry

Neatton · 02-24-2006, 06:46 PM

Where did you get the information about it being setup to use the PhysX chip? I dont believe any large entity has stepped up for that technology yet. Let alone a benchmarking software writing code around using that? Dual core also isnt being used as much as it could be hence the benchmarking scores not being 50% plus of the single cores.

Note the logo and "CPU performance testing via AI and physics workloads". It is also in various places during loading screens. Also, from the readme "AGEIA™ PhysX™ physics library by AGEIA".

I suppose though it could just be testing software physics, but I'd put bets that if you had the card you'd see a marked improvement for the CPU rating. That is, you know, if it ever becomes non vaporware. (Originally was reference boarded and ready to go for an Oct '05 release.)

Neatton · 02-25-2006, 02:47 AM

That is talking about testing just the physics and AI which are going to be different things. I would imagine that it will take into acct if you have that card as in it will utilize it and therefor it can effect your score but like I said I would be very suprised if it actually had code written around it. I got bets on the next version 07' im guessing being built around or at least expecting you to have something to help with the physics calculations but like I have said in other posts now that SLI is around I would be very surprised if they didnt turn that into one of the cards doing the physics or at least having the option for it. My guess is that in a few generations that ppl will use there older card they upgraded from to do the physics and there new spiffy card to do the rendering. That is just my guess but it would make sense for why the physics cards keep getting pushed back. They were a dang good idea but I dont think they will materialize personally but eh even I at times can be wrong :P Take for instace 06' even seeing the physics card which I didnt know thank you.

I think they were held back because they finally came to their senses that no one would pay the estimated $250-350 price range and that they did finally realize it will have to be sub-$100 to get anywhere close to a bulk of users.
