9-10k is completely doable with a AMD cpu. i just ran 3dmark06 and scored 9839 with my trusty old s939 Opty
3dmark is waaay to cpu dependant. example ... 9800gtx + 3.0ghz c2d = 13k ish ............... 9800gtx +oc@4.0ghz = 18k+ even though in games that extra 5k+ from the cpu would be nowhere near the performance upgrade a 3.0ghz c2d + a videocard that = 18k marks would provide. I'm not saying 6500 is correct as I haven't a clue what you should be getting though =/
well it was nfoce board problem + c2d cpus are uch faster than amds @ same clock i got a score 12500 or 13000 i dont exactly remember the card oced @725/1800/2200 and the cpu was @ 3.3 but for sure it was mbo problem get intel are the best
below 60 under load? Are you kidding me? 60 should be the idle temps with stock cooler. Even 65 is common. Under load it should go to 80. Clearly is the card underperforming
Yes, below 60 on load and clocks (648/900/1620) totally stable according to rivatuner readings. The card has zalman cooler factory installed, so maybe that explains low temperatures
well mine gets to 70 without air conditioner [july in iraq :3eyes:] with air coditioner about 60 load with 2x12cm fans blowing on it we dont have electricity all the time here:biggun:
Problem solved! It really was about motherboard bios. I'm should be a shamed of myself right now for not giving it a try before. :bang: Bios updated and now everything is running smoothly Thanks to you all for help!
Hey, i have this same problem with my 9600GT, i tryed 2 different divers but i checked with CPU-Z and found out that instaid of pci-e 16X it was on pci-e 1X so check if you have that same problem. and a question to you guys, how do i fixes this problem?
try the new 177.79 xtreme-g drivers and then check your bios for the pci-e settings...make sure its not 1x and its 16x
well i checked that and it said it should work on 16x(and it was actually running on pci-e 1x). after a bios reset everything worked as it should and i finally could play cod 4.( at 1600x1200 2xAA 16xAF ) but my cpu overclock is now gone
Great, after the bios reset i though i could oveclock my cpu again but when i do that, my link speed goes back to 1X. gonna try a bios update, else, i'm screwd... EDIT:Bios updat fixed everything
lol i am having the same problem, except. Its even worse for me i get like 2132 points only and im using AMD Phenom 9550 QUAD with EVGA GEFORCE 8800GT Superclocked.....i also have no idea why.... oh right and im using win xp... my drivers are latest, i suppose =\ 175.19 not my psu for sure, i got a 800W supply prepared for SLI
Try to update your motherboard bios, as it was the solution for my problem Now i'm getting 10100marks with 3ghz oc
whats a easy way to update Motherboard bios ? as im really newb at motherboard lol Edit: flashed my bios with asus winflash, very user friendly and easy =) nice
I get 20 fps more average on 3dmark06 graphics test after flashing it =) , EXCEPT for the CPU TEST i still get only 1 - 0 fps....really that number is ridiculous
