BADLY! 3dMark05 = 8931 <cpuscore=4766> amd64x2 5600 @ stock 2.8ghz <Windsor core - L2:1mb x 2> 2gig ocz dual chnl DDR800 (2 1 gig sticks) 5-5-5-12 <dual mode> BFG 8800gt 512mb OC'd @ 700/1700/2000 --Driver= 169.13 asus m2n32 sli deluxe <latest bios 11/07> <using onboard sound> SyncMaster 245bw 24" fpanel Windows XPx86 sp2 logisys 550w PS 320gb sata HD Seagate (includes turning all video card settings off/down to try and get highest score. AA,AF,etc.) & shutting down all background unneeded services within windows OC'd cpu to 3ghz and got score of 9543 <cpuscore=5313> I need some help! Something just isnt right, as score should be WAY higher than this!!! Anyone ???? <Hadn't even tried to run 3dmark06 yet>uke2: T. :bang:
**UPDATE** 3DMark06 = 6309 <cpuscore=2167> cpu @ stock 2.8ghz sigh! Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be ???? :bang::bang:
Have you gone through your bios to make sure you don't have the ram set at ddr2 533 or something like that?
Yep - Iv'e checked the bios setting, its at ddr800. As for 3DMark, I run it at default. <since I can't change it since its the free version>.... Here's my info... Does this all look correct ??????
overclock higher (CPU) http://www.hwbot.org/searchResults....nCpuFreq=&maxCpuFreq=&system=&minTotalPoints=
Install the Hotfix for 3DMark®06/05/03 and PCMark®05 http://www.futuremark.com/download/hotfix_oct07/
Finally!! found the problem! My hyperthreading was set to 1x for some odd reason instead of 5x... AND I turned OFF the NVIDIA GPU EX setting in the bios. Result: amdx2 5600 OC'd to: 3.0ghz 8800gt OC'd to: 700/1700/990 3DMark05: 15631 cpu: 7475 3DMark06: 10292 cpu: 2335 sm2.0: 4859 sm3.0: 4655 Now I'm wondering just how far I can up the clock on my CPU and GPU. :banana:
LOL Hypertrans.... Thanks for the correction LOL upped the CPU to 3.2ghz and GPU to 720/1730/2000 result: 3DMark05 @ 16384/8020 result: 3DMark06 @ 10756/2487--SM2.0=5113--SM3.0=4764 TEMPS CPU: Idle=29c Load=35c GPU: Idle=42c Load=66c ****NOTE**** Currently I'm using the onboard sound as my primary for audio. If I go back and reinstall my Xi-Fi Gamer card for my audio instead of the onboard sound; do you think it will increase my overall machine performance ? And, if so, how much do you think it would make a difference???
