My Timings are not so good, because my CD2 6600 is still not OC.

But it’s insane, if i compare ZB3 to ZB2A, ZB2A was at 8M sluggish(dotting), now in ZB3 i’ts at 25.1M the same, but without dotting. (17M is smooth, if the brush size is not to big)).

And there is the hidding feature…heh don’t need it till 16-17M raw polygons. heh

Edit: Specs are:

Vista x64 Ultimate
CD2 6600(not OC)
4Gb SuperTalent 800 4-4-4-3-8
2 10k rpm HDD(single mode)

The e6600 is a dam good chip over clocked or not. :sunglasses:

O.k so I guess I need an upgrade lol

I’d really like to see someone with the dual quad-core Xeons post up their scores. Right now I’m pricing out a new computer and am very torn as to whether is should get the E6700, Q6600, or 53xx processor. Not too mention how much Ram I should get. I’m think 4GB right now, but mabey 8 GB would be a noticable difference?

I can’t recommend more highly the machine I got from Gateway. I am very pleased. It’s an overclocked quad core backed by the warrenty, running at 3.2. Earlier you can see my posts for ZB2 and ZB3. They are (I believe) the fastes anyone has posted in either, and the whole thing was $3500 out the door with a 19" flat screen and a 7900. I’ll be upgrading the video card in the not too distant future to a DX-10 card for stuff for work and that should smoke even more. My 2 cents.

Well that eleminates the e6700. I’m still really curious how a dual 53xx Xeon stacks up against the q6600 though. I’m really finding it difficult to decide. It’s hard to find benchmarks that are comparable in the kind of applications I use.

Single = 6.125
Muilti = 3.66

AMD Athlon X-2 3800+ 2 Ghz
2 GB Ram
Geforce 7900GT
Windows XP SP2

Crashed after running the test too. I will have to wait for an upgrade in 2008 and hopefully there will be some cheaper quad core machines then,

I just got this at work. Awesome!

AMD X2 3800
2g of ram
Windows XP (32bit)

I am maxing out at around 8-9 million (WITHOUT HD GEO). Is there a way to turn on multithreading or is it on by default? Also would running on XP 64 and upping my ram to 4g allow more room for polys? Probably, right?ZB3 test.jpg

^ Most definitely

Mac Pro 2.66 Xeon 2 gigs of Ram running Boot Camp XP Pro:
Single: 3.347
Multi:1.41
Multithreading resulted 57.8% speed increase.

Single Thread=4.185997
Multi Thread=2.555

Multithreading resulted in 38.9% speed increase.

Also, can anyone tell me how to use or set up multithreading?

mine:
amd64 4000+, 2.4Ghz.
nvidia 7800 gtx 256mb
windows xpx64

single thread = 4.982
multi thread = 4.972
Multithreading resulted in 0.2% speed increase.

Multithreading is recommended for this system.

I’m not sure why it is recommended, to my knowledge there is no hyperthreading in my machine. Does the x64 windows make a difference, obviously not a considerable one.

Hello
Here ist my benchmark for Z3 installed on a Dell490,Xeon5160(2,66GHz),8gRAM,WinXP64.

-Z3 is running as 32bitApp though… Shouldn’t it be installed automaticly as 64bit app? :confused:
How can i get ZB3 to run as 64bit Software to take advantage of more than 2gig of RAM?

Cheers

Just crank up your memsettings, and you will be surprised…
