Originally posted by CrazyCrusher Ism confused to now, that my clock speeds are set slower than yours Mid and yet mine is higher, just to be curious what settings are you running yours at?
So just so you no mine was not at default, I changed my screen Rez to 800X600 and no sound test.
Is this what made me get so high?
yes, lowering the resolution will give you a higher score. I always take the default settings for 3dmark (1024x768). I guess I won't beat my head into a wall trying to figure out what is going on. I got other things on my mind ATM, like work. ack.
As for my cpu, I run at 3.8G (237x16). I included that with my pic (CPU-Z). I try to include Video speeds, CPU speed and score. That's what I see people doing on other forums.
glad ur not smacking ur head on the wall so hard, ahh guess my score dont count to much yet, ill post again later with the correct defaults, I must not have changed them back after the crashing problems I was having.
NP. I only did a couple runs with the VXG 71.24As then I went to sleep. As a consolation, it got me to at least try out Daishi's drivers. Nothing works on insomnia like a 14+ hour workday.
Finally got my 6800 (Leadtek, the one with copper cooling, looks great with my NF7, copper memspreaders, mobo cooling and fan guards! hehe), the pipeline wasn't unlockable without artifacts, but i'm hoping to change that with a bios flash, volt mod and some as5 sometime this week. The vertex shader unlocked no problems and i've bench looped for over a day with a stable overclock of 390/890. Not bad... running 66.93 and waiting new official drivers. Once they're out, i'll mix it up with some beta's and xtreme drivers.
Imagine what you 'd get with a big CPU upgrade... great score with that processor....
Probably be a cold day in hell before I could afford one of those,so I am stuck with my Fx5900..but it does a fine job overall in most everything out there to date.....but a score of 5870 is a long ways from 1100+.
Here I sit remembering hitting 6500+ with my 3200 @ 2.5 and my 9800 Pro oc'd, not too long ago. And it was the best score at the time! sigh....... Time to retire Betsy and bring in the new. She' been a good ol' girl.
