Gainward GTX285 2048MB 14k+ 3dmark06 ?

[Milos-stancene]

HI !

I have just replaced old 8800GT with Gainward GTX285 2048MB.
I think I have very low 3dmark score ... only 14150 on 1280x1024....

Sistem:

Core 2 duo E6600 OC 3,1 GZ

RAM 2x1 Samsung Original

Desktop Board D975XBX

Gainward GTX285 2048MB

Raptor

SAMSUNG 24

Enermax 500 Watt



PLEASE HELP

I have replayed the same 3dmark06 test but this time at 1920x1200 rez and the score is about the same ... 13566.
Any advice?

are you on xp, vista? 32bit, 64 bit? your cpu and ram are holding you back. I overclocked to 3.6GHz on my cpu and was able to get 2000 higher than the stock 3.2GHz. I get 17,343 with a 4870 1gb card.

The fact the test runs nearly as fast at a much higher resoloution only confirms that it is CPU bound and some extra memory wo n`t hurt either.

xp-32

You should be running a 64bit os

 

[Milos-stancene]

xp or vista ?

 

[rewindlabs]

Either of those or win7

XP isn't as bad as others will make it out either....there are stable "builds" of xp 64 bit floating around...do you legally own xp 32 bit? i see no problem in installing xp 64 bit

What is the difference between 32&64 bit?
In 3dmark06 (and in the most games) 2+ Gigs Ram won`t help..

It's your cpu. Either overclock it as far as it will go or upgrade it. The E6600 was a great chip back then but it's no match for a gtx285, at least in synthetics.

Upgrade to what?
Desktop Board D975XBX dont support Quads and won`t let me OC-ing further than 3,1Gz because I have to do some DEBUG MODE....http://forums.legitreviews.com/about6375.html

Google the bold...

Its your choice...you should see some performance improvements with going to 64 bit os....

Get a new mobo as well. It doesn't have to be ultra expensive to get the job done. Mine is a year old IP35V which cost what, $75 and I can OC my Q6600 to 3.5ghz except my temps go through the roof.

My 3dmark 06 score is 14770 with a 3ghz q6600 and 4870 512mb.

You may want to get a better power supply too. 500 watt enermax??
That gtx285 is seriously being wasted on that system.

My buddy has the GTX285 on a Q9550 at 3.2Ghz with 4GB of DDR3 ram, with Vista64 and gets about 15500, so that score is consistent with your hardware. you are being bottlenecked by your CPU.

I have asked 100 times if is 500 enermax enough for this card... and you said YES.
From DUO to QUAD and 2gigs to 4 RAM.... the diference is 1500 points .... not BIG diference to pay $$$ !!!!!

You should be getting 17 K if you werem't held back by your CPU and motherboard. If you had an e8400 and an Asus P5Q, you could OC the e8400 to 4.0 GHz at 9 X 444 FSB or 8 X 500 and you'll see your scores shoot past 17,000.

 

[Milos-stancene]

I just need help to UNlock my motherboard !!!!!

Thank you all

Yur PSU IS fine for the rig, no problems there.
Yes a faster CPU will improve matters but it wo n`t really make a huge difference to actual gameplay or framerates.
With a 24" 1920x1200 display you can get good speeds out of this rig and superior image quality as well.
Relax in the knowlage that you`ll be seeing good speeds and image quality for some time to come and stop worrying about a largely unimportaint benchmark score.

Why do you always screw up a word when you type ' ?

Or space before and after ' ?

 

[coozie7]

With all the misspellings and typos on this forum, why are you so concerned with my use of punctuation?
And I do n`t space before and after the `, it`s just how the font works.

And a double post to boot...*sigh*

I pick a select few people to call out on the blatant disregard for a half ass use of my language...i can't be right all of the time...

Its because he is using a grave (`) and not an apostrophe (')
