Anyone try try FM 3D06 under Vista SP1?

I just did the SP1 install tonight and ran 3D06.

19225

Compared to 17922 pre sp1

Seems to be a little gain. While the pre sp1 run was @ 8 x 500, the post sp1 run was done at 3940. Less Mhz yet a higher score.

Cheers

I remember seeing something about multi card support being improved. It's still not up to XP's speed though.

You'll get a +/- 1% every single time you run the program even with the same hardware.

CMDR Steve-O · **Posted:** Sun Jul 06, 2008 12:21 pm

What Steve-o said plus the fact that throwing more memory at an app only makes it faster if that app actually makes use of it. I'm surprised 3DMark wouldn't grab everything it could but it looks like 2GB's is enough to saturate it and the extra memory is just taking up allocation space.

Technically you should however see a difference in score if you were to run the benchmark while doing other things on your system, assuming the memory usage on all the apps combined was over 2GB's.

The thing is as soon as you try to do something else the benchmark just quits.
