100% agree with you Principa, willy waving....the why make it up? was a general "whats the point" remark wasn't really directed at anyone other than the guy who lied, I'd like to know also, it's as if he thinks we're stupid enough to believe him...Though I will be surprised if he posts back on this thread...

That depends on the make of the ram, if you check their website, it might give you the latencies of it, actually, google for cpuid and install the latest one, it can give you the ram latency, its quite a good utility...


EDIT - if you take another look at siztem3rror's post, he's using an athlon xp so he cant be using sli..?, definately altered the result it looks....

Very true. Just had a quick look through Ebuyer and the only Athlon boards I can see with SLI are Socket 939 boards.

That would only bottleneck the card horribly, I know because I tried running my 6600GT with an Athlon XP 2100+ myself and the results were less than pleasing.

Definitely faking going on. Well done Mr. Bigshot, you get t3h c00ki3s w1th t3h wh1pp3d cr34m!

If your talking about 8k in 3dmarko3, then no way, although yours is a good card, it would be hard pressed to get 5k in 3dmark03............

Had a bit of fun and decided to see what my machine does in 3dMark05 on the same system specs as I have already mentioned in this post. Here it is.

4631

Still no OC or anything else adjusted. And even after all this hardware bashing, my machine still only reaches around 52-55C.

Will look into a bit of OC and see what I can squeeze out of my system.

When you run the program, see if it's doing a lot of hard drive bashing. Could be the reason for the poor results. Maybe your system needs a bit of a cleanup or slightly more memory so you don't have to read much off the hard drive.

the beauties of clocking the shit out of your card.
I get about 6900-7000 depending on how hot it is in my room.

Why don't you quote your System and OS Specs and we'll see if we can help you get a better score.

3D Mark isn't a particular good app for testing general PC tweaks - it's almost exclusively designed to test your GPU (graphics card) and not your CPU. If you want to benchmark your general PC performance then I would highly recommend SiSoft Sandra.

One of my pc is more or less exactly the same as yours except i have an asus a8v mobo...?

With those specs, you should be getting around 4.5 to 5k in 3dmark05 and about 11.5 to 12k in 3dmark03..so if your not hitting at least 11k in 03 then somethings wrong m8

Try reinstalling you motherboard chipset drivers...also try a different nvidia driver set, use driver cleaner, cant remember the site, but google for it...

Oh you could try the dxdiag tool and see if that brings up any errors


As a last resort defrag do a general clean up etc etc

Go to www.guru3d.com for driver cleaner.

Also, I would double check all your BIOS settings to make sure you have everything set to the correct settings. If you have anything set that doesn't go with your hardware settings, that could cause problems.
Easiest way to determine what is going on, set your BIOS settings to default and only set the CPU settings to show your correct processor speed.

All the info on how to do this, is located in your Mobo Manual.

If you get around 11K in 3D Mark 03 with a stock 6800 GT then you are doing fine.

I know, It's Icarium who's having the problem, plus I've clocked the bejesus out of mine and used a modded bios to give the core more volts....

Wow i got a shitty score...I'm embarassed. 5485 with a Radeon 9800XT, AMD FX-51, 2gb ddr corsair ram, some ASUS (insert random letters) mobo. Can anyone tell me what's wrong, and i'm not overclocking anything so if you guys can provide some overclocking tools?

Did you use 3dMark05? It is a reasonable score there, but my comp:

AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 2.4 ghz
Nvidia GeForce 6800GT 128mB (unlocked)
1 GB Ram

Gets a 9407 in 3dMark03, so that could be your problem.

I'd say that's a reasonable score for a 9800XT. It would probably go up a little with a fresh reformat or some hardcore maintainence, but it's nothing to worry about.
