    Lightsmark 1.2 benchmark

    Well, until the author updates the software to secure the bench results particularly the resolution drop down window.. I see little point in posting the results of our hard work and use the results as a reference fo myself only.. While no one is suspected of cheating knowing that it is...

    Unknown Architecture error

    Soon as I get a spare minute I'll pinpoint the service I had issue with..:)

    Lightsmark 1.2 benchmark

    Still looking to break 500?? I keep trying for that magic number of 500+ using the default 1280x1024 screen size and so far have been unsuccessful. However attempting to do that I have at least beat my personal record! Yeah!!

    Unknown Architecture error

    Ok! The issue is related to a windows service that had been shut down while benching, I had used Diagnostic startup which I can duplicate consistently A'aaaah! So which service you ask, well no sure exactly yet still working on identifying it. more later..

    Unknown Architecture error

    I'm trying to identify the cause now, I just figured that someone might have had a similar issue..

    Unknown Architecture error

    Added some details above.. My feeling is that the PCIe bus is unstable, but I've been running the system all day with benchmarks etc. without issue with any benchmark. At first I thought it was a compatibility issue with the Futuremark System info tool, but now I'm not so sure..

    Unknown Architecture error

    Under certain conditions (overclocked but far from limits) the program will not open, instead a window appears with an Unknown Architecture error message.. I figured I'd be asked this... lol GPU-Z 0.1.7 After every 3Dmark03/06 benchtest when Quad core is pushed beyond 4GHz 8800GTX SLI nvidia...

    Lightsmark 1.2 benchmark

    Ok, so I've been doing some comparison benching on Vista 32 & XP 32 using two wildly different CPU speeds for some additional thoughts. For consistency only the cpu multi was reduced from x8 to x6, which left bus speeds consistent through all runs.. GPU STD = GPU Factory defaults GPU OC...

    Lightsmark 1.2 benchmark

    IMO neither disabling mp3 playback, severely overclocking the CPU or disabling cores has a negligible effect on the results of this benchmark! Even the author advises (regarding the MP3) on his web site to simply turn the sound down if you don't like the music.... :)

    Lightsmark 1.2 benchmark

    Just had to do some more tweaking, so this is about the peak for my current single GPU game rig based on it's 24/7 settings + a few driver and overclocking tweaks! As soon as I can install both cards in a new SLI mobo I'll be back for some more benching! Note that during tests I found raising...

    What an awesome bench tool :rockout: Nothing like competition, so here is my attempt!
