8800 gts g92 bad 3dmark score

That 250W is dedicated to your vidcard right?

Was the 8800GTS 320MB OCed? Is the 8800GTS 512MB OCed right now?

Do you have the latest display driver?

It also could be your cpu holding you back, even though it's OCed to 3.2GHz. Try running 3dmark on a higher resolution and compare with other people on ORB.

yes the 250 is dedicated
yes both oced
I'm running xg drivers 171.16 from tweakforce.com

I just upgraded from the GTS320 to the new 512.

I used to get 7500 3dMarks, now i get 11500 with the new GTS512.

Not sure how you got such a high score with your old card, you sure it was 12500?

What kinda score do you get with your GTS Matt, what cooler are you using to overclock your CPU? (I took a peek at your configuration)

Yeah!
Im using RT2.06 at the mo, no overclocking yet - 11500 points with the newest driver, not sure which one.

Sounds like you spending some cash over there, im broke still, bought the GTS on friday!

Im keen to overclock my cpu, tom recons its a good OC chip...

I checked out my bios the other day, realized my board wont let me overclock the processor, i shouldve know. I had a BadAxe2 before and changed it for a DP35DP.

Looks like ill have to try get 13k with just a GPU overclock, he he.
GPU temp at the mo is 50 idle 70 load (Celsius)

wait a minute! u cant overclock using that board? its a P35 chipset isn;t it? wud have thought u could have?

have u asked on these forums about that?

Hi, 4 months a go i bult my 1st ever computer for college primerely, movies, and gaming during my free time.
Any way.... here are my computer configurations
q6600 quad core running at 3.51Ghz
2Gb DDR3 ram also overclocked
p5k3 deluxe mother board
320 gb hard drive
and ofcourse 8800 GTS 320mb overcloked edition.

I also overcloked further my stock overcloked video card to 660mhz/1010mhz

and when i ran my 3dmark 06 test i got a score of 11,855
2.0-4544
3.0-4841
CPU-5046

I was wondering why my score is so low with such a video card.. and also is it in the right place where it should be?

Also tell me what i need to tweak in order to get higher performance.

this dude got a score of 14k using a similar set up.. Plz tell me how? was he using the lowest display settings possible? because when i did it with lowest display setting i got score of 15k.
Do you think i should switch to the 3870x2?

@bildo123, We need to figure out how to crack 12000, that will really piss some people off.

I'm currently @ 11640 3DMark06 with an E2160 @ 3.2 and 8800GT 512MB @ 720/1590/1030

grats

I actually did break 12000 with my setup, but no way in hell would I run it(or stably run it) 24/7. When I get home I'll post my one score where I broke 12000. Also for a note my score at 1920x1200 is a bit below 10k. So in reality this budget system really can dish out some nice graphics considering rougly a ~1500 point loss is not that much considering the much larger resolution. So for those of you on the ol 17/19" monitors its time to upgrade the size and get your moneys worth out of your system if its setup similar to mine.

If I win some type of lottery I'll even get you a quad 9800GX2 setup with a 30" monitor. But back to reality, check out your local bestbuy, they had a special recently where they are selling my exact monitor, the Westinghouse E2140NM for around $330. I'm tellin ya man, I had a 17" square LCD and literally was not getting anywhere near the experience or the value of my machines actual output. Not only that I sold the 17" with a profit of $80 on the Bay. So really I payed less than $300 (I paid $350 After rebate)

^^^^ leave it all stock and you will sit right around 12500

^^^^ overclock everything and you can expect 14500 mabye a tad more

ok i will left you know after i bench it.hopefully some good ones.1024 right?or the standard 1280?
