  Any of you good PC folks use  3D MARK to check your systems/
If you do pls post some of your figures and observations. Any tips will help this mature student
Got 20,012 score this week but still messing around.

   Looks like there are no reasonable serious people out there checking performance. Too busy watching video`s.

I used to check my 3D and CPU marks when I first got into building my own computer and such, nowadays though the points are kinda just about bragging rights and hold no significant value..true benchmarks of applications or games are a bit more interesting to me.

Hi synbios,
At least I got one reply to post I agree with you, I dont even try to keep up with the latest big bang £££`s graphics cards and mobo`s. . At the moment trying to get a good stable platform with best results for what I have.
I just keep tweaking away and learning as I go along.
cheers

Ah yes indeed I used to use it as relative performance for myself. I used to change system settings such as disabling Windows services and also if I overclocked a little bit I would check the difference in scores that way. Most of the games I play have an fps option so I use that as a pretty good measure as well.

i tend to run this benchmark for the eye candy than for the results

i especially like this particular edition from a good few years back that has a semiaerial view of the ocean...with
churning waves with sunset in the back....would be great if the developers can release it as a screensaver

maybe one day i'll use camtasia to record the sequence then use that to assemble a ghetto screen saver
