8800GT Bottleneck?

[dan1234]

Hi,

I ran Vantage before, when everything was at stock (E8400@3Ghz,BFG 8800GT OC), I obtained...

P6192, GPU: 4959 and CPU: 24325

Then after OCing the E8400 to 3.6Ghz and OCing the 8800GT to
732/1712/995

my vantage score only went up to P6972, GPU: 5600, CPU: 26312

It seems my CPU overclock result is fine, but the GPU should be more right??

I heard I should be getting around P8-9K with my set up,

Also, the Performance setting on vantage is a low resolution yet when I see the test its in the full 1680x1050?

Thanks
Dan

Never mind what Vantage is giving you do you notice a differance in games ? Thats the real point of doing it, isnt it ?

Hard to test, I only have 1 game installed atm.

Does the intel speedstep make any difference btw?

Yes it will do, im not an expert in this area but have dabbled a bit and i beleive that you should have it turned off if you are overclocking. My Asrock motherboard decided to turn it off itself

Ok turned off C1E and SpeedStep, score improved by 20 lol.

Im still convinced my GPU isnt working properly, 5600 is nothing when overclocked.

if i am not mistaken C1E and EIST have the same functionality, but EIST has more option; however, I donno which 1 override other. If anyone could clarify that would be really helpful. ^.^
