running vista, you get lower scores than XP users.

Yeah 64bit also, but still, isnt that to low ? Im running 2x 9800 gtx, 8gb ddr2 corsair xms, quad q6600, and xfx 780I mb..

Yes that is very low, look about a page back, I got 16000 with an overclocked GTX260!

Whilst the CPU obviously isnt the main factor, as it's not multithredded, your Q6600 at 2.4gig stock will be severley bottlenecking those cards, try raisng the speed some to see if that helps.
 
I raised my fsb to 1150, and bus speed is now 287.5, and speed 2587 and i got 5211score now.

So, is my CPU to slow ?
 
GeForce PhysX relies heavily on the CPU.

Strange that, I have run it several times, my highest score (16,000) was with my CPU at 3.2gig, with my CPU at 4gig I got a lesser score, all other GPU/Windows settings the same, and 4gig isnt pushing the CPU that can bench at over 4.4gig.

Well, any idea what to do? Or can it be what my CPU can handle ?


I got less score with SLI enable!?


Could it be my PSU, that aint working as it should ?

This bench is not very good yet. Your in vistax64, and using sli, I think those are your two biggest score killer's w/ this bench (although of course they shouldn't effect physX performance). Try one card, and maybe xp x32 if you can dual boot w/o too much trouble, your score will probably go up over 10k.

I have tested my PSU, and its only peak @ 660W, so i have bought a new one, and getting it tommorow, ill be back with a new result hopefully :)
 
if someone will PM me an updated list i will be more then happy and grateful to post it.

yeah, your right.....I did forget to mention.....this is currenly a 32bit bench! :o
 
Now i have xp32 bit, i only get 8000 score, same with one or sli enable. I have watch something wierd, Speedfan shows only 9.87v on the +12v, but bios says 12.03, what should i trust?


In 3dmark06 i get 16500...

speedfan is nowhere near accurate, bios is vaguely accurate. trust a multimeter/voltmeter only.

+1
if what speed fan is staying is true your computer wouldn't even run and if it did it would be having hangs and BSOD after a short time. you wouldn't be able to bench or even post :eek:

Yeah though so, anyways, i have load a voltmeter on sunday, so ill test it there.. Is the bench OK for my system ?
 
Looking at the scores on the first page this shouldn't be right? I have a lowly 8800GT on an E8400@3.88GHz and scoring over 10K?

XP gets higher than vista. Most users here are testing in vista.

I'd grab Everest, personally i think it's the most accurate of the applications i've tried, i think it shows the voltages a little lower than my bios though
 
software just read it from a chip. the problem is that those chips are basically guessing - your bios gets it from the same place, they just say 'read the chip, add 0.3v'
 
I have tryed almost everything now, and cant get it over 8k.. Something it wrong...
 
I wouldn't stress too much about this bench...they need to revise it more and make it less CPU dependant and more GPU dependant, that and with the Vista/XP difference as great as it is, I dont' necessarily believe what this bench has to say.

It should be more of a fun gimmick to run than something to get serious about. Run some games, if they kick ass and run smooth, then you're on the right track!

:toast:
 
Yeah, but thats why i run the test, my games dont run smooth enough imo..
 
your games should be running smooth with your hardware kRT. have you tried overclocking the cpu and video card(s)? maybe you need to update drivers for everything. you never know what can cause problems like that. also have you made sure SLI is enable? (i am sure you have) tried setting the image performance settings in nCP (NV CP)
