PhysX FluidMark results thread

[Kursah]

Yeah, but thats why i run the test, my games dont run smooth enough imo..

Here's what I would do if I were you, because in reality, you should not need any OC to run smooth at most resolutions with that setup.

Run 3dmark 06 and vantage, a few game benches (World In Conflict Demo, DMC4 Demo, Crysis Demo, etc all have benchmarks). Start a help inquiring thread outside of this thread and with your compiled info, driver version lists, etc we can track down what the situation is.

I don't think this bench will help or hinder you. My GTX260 was getting around the same as your SLI setup with a Q6600, yet could handle Crysis and all other games just fine, now this was at 1440x900, I'm getting a 22" monitor monday that does 1680x1050, but I'm not very worried about negative impacts on performance. Hopefully it'll utilize more of my GPU and less CPU at this point.

What games do you play that "dont run smooth enough" how do you know they don't run smooth enough? What driver versions are you running, what resolutions, how much AA/AF is used, in game set or NV Panel set? What tweaks have you done to your system/OS/drivers?

There are lots of questions that can be asked that may or may not be related to your issue...for that I suggest you start a new thread dedicated to your situation!

Yeah i have tryed oc abit, and it help, but cant get my cpu over 2850 without its gonna freeze.. SLI is enable yeah Ill try reinstall the hole system, and DL all the new driver, and try again..

I wouldn't say a fresh OS install is necessary. Though if you do, install the 177.83's..imo I've found the best stability with them and still great performance.

You may want to start a help thread for your case anyways, to help you attain a higher OC and find good stability. Like I said before you shouldn't really need to overclock to attain at least good results with your setup...but what resolution do you run at? What driver version are you using? What other games/benches have you tried?

I apologize for going off topic, this will be my last post doing so...I plan on running the PhysX fluidmark again when I decide on an OC for my e8600. I'm good at 4.3 w/1.304v so I might call it good there.

So KRt, please start a thread so we can help you outside of this thread and get your rig running the way you'd like it to!

Most World of warcraft, 1680*1050 and settings high.

With my old system i had same fps, 5600+, 4gb ram, 1x 9800gtx and a old 570ultra mb.

But ill try reinstall, if same happens ill make a new tread. Thank for advice everyone

i wonder if he has Vsync enabled, and thats capping the benchmark?

That's a good point, this could be nvidia cp settings. Did you set them up for pure performance before running the bench ktr? I usually run very high settings in the cp for gaming, in benches though those settings provide me w/ a far lesser score. Defaults are usually somewhere in between, not all the way towards performance or quality. And like mussels said, if vsync is enabled, your frames will be locked to your refresh rate, most likely 60.

And it seems reasonable to me that you haven't really noticed any increase in fps in WOW. The game is probably not made for multi-card set-ups, and as such you see no benefit from sli. And although having a faster proc is all nice and good for everything you do, it won't do much when it comes to gaming.

On that note what kind of problems are you having w/ smoothness. Are you having any of the "micro-stuttering" that sometimes accompanies two cards? Is wow jerky? That could be your internet. Just some ideas......

 

[kRT]

V-Sync is off.

In wow, my fps aint running 100 all the time.. and it should, as it did with my old system?

My ms in wow is fine.

 

[Mussels]

we're going off topic here, i'll PM you.

 

[johnspack]

Test.. I beat my 9800gtx score, but I had to use 1900x1200 8xAA this time!

 

[Fitseries3]

can i join?

 

[DOM]

fit you know vista kills your score ?

like by 3k

 

[Fitseries3]

thats not vista... but no.. i didn't. i'll give it a try in xp tonight.

 

[dadi_oh]

can i join?

No you can't. Your setup is too nice and liable to promote jealousy and dissention.

 

[Fitseries3]

am i the first ATI card?

 

[DOM]

but isnt 07 like vista just better ?

 

[Fitseries3]

sorta. it's a totaly rebuilt OS but looks much like vista. its' way faster though.

 

[DOM]

yeah that might be killing the score if its more or less the same I get like 7k over 10k in XP

so it that the OS that let you run red and green

Also because Fluidmark is a 32bit app, Windows XP 64 does not run as good as 32bit either.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Thinks so, but with that score I just wouldnt bother ....whispers 16K

 

[Laurijan]

C2Q Q6600 @ 4006MHz
Inno3D 8800GT @ 755/1800/1120

 

[p_o_s_pc]

nice score.BTW still looking for someone that will give me an updated list

 

[p_o_s_pc]

Thanks Laurijan for the updated list. everyone that is thankful for the update please think Laurijan to show you appreciation

 

[Tatty_Two]

Just thought I would add this one to the mix

Gainward GTX260 @ 800core/1725shader/1200 mem

18,995

Nice score

 

[p_o_s_pc]

tatty what CPU are you running also what speed was this bench ran on? need it for score list
