Hey guys,
Kind of upset at the benchmark test I did.
http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=1B15FA4890464B89A65DE7C2C40E8FF6

Here's the spec again:
MacPro Early 2007 8core series (3.0GHz)
5GB RAM
Window Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1
8800GTS 640MB.

Tested with 3DMark06

Here's the link to it::

Common system got 14000
I got a 10484.


I'm wondering where in the system it's lagging out.
I don't really understand everything from the status report.
what's SM2.0 and SM 3.0?

I'd imagine many users don't buy a Mac system for the ability of playing top notch games.

I still think, if you wanna play games.. You should invest your money into a customised windows box, it's both cheaper and will probably outperform a Mac, when it comes to OpenGL stuff.

I'm guessing that's why there's so many MacPro's floating about on fleabay.
 
Benchmarks of all varieties are interesting by itself.

But the most interesting benchmarks about Mac Pro's are those that deal with pro apps for me. I can stomach bragging rights about one's system. But PC games on an MP? Even if MP can beat the fastest PC on earth, I just don't find it that remarkable.:cool:
 
Is that video card you list a 8800GTS w/ 640M as in the older version G80 chip series, not the "newer" 8800GTS w/ 512M G92 chip series? I have one of those in my old PC rig that my kids use for games and such. The card is great, but it aint all that fast of a card and about 2 years old, you are comparing your system to systems with G92's in them. So between FB-Dimm @ 800Mhz and that video card, I think you may see some significant differences.

Sry the number I gave b4 was my 3DMark06 Score. I just did the benchmark you did and got a score of 12800 points. The scores seem somewhat misleading since the common system is said to be a QX9650 which I am sure that not even 1 in 1000 PC users have. Anyways the Mac Pro still works great. When Apple will release new gfx cards well be even better off.
