Hey all,

got my 7600GT today, been tuning it all day! finally managed to do a full benchmark, only to realise some guy with a 7600GT 256(basically same as mine) got 800 more marks than i did, and as if that's not bad enough, his AMD and ram were all set slower than mine by miles! what i going on?

Gee...maybe you didn't sprinkle enough fairy dust on it.

How about posting your specs and letting us know what you're running.

get the latest drivers and i assume your talking about 3d mark06. give us a link to your result as well. also look do a direct compare with that guys result and go over them both if your really worried.

it's actually 05, i'm gonna do an 06 now.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1886618

the 7600Gt is overclocked like mad as well, 642Mhz core, 810 ram

tired my best on my AMD 64 venice core 3500+ it's now at 10X 254mhz i.e. 2540Mhz

2X512 on dual channel at 254 obviouslt, timings 3-4-4-8

2X 80G WD carviar SE sata on raid 0+2

i don't have ither programmes running in the back, so how can this guy possibily beat my system by a good few hundard scores?
