8800Gtx - low fps

Problem, i haven't got an XP disk Lol .... There must be someway of finding out surely ? Thanks for the help btw

Make sure when running 3D Marks 06 you have high performance texture quality and FSAA and AF off... your scores are consistant with having them on...

If you still get around that low - I would check that you do actually have both cores working - does the CPU graph in task manager show 2 graphs?

Ye i have two graphs in task manager .. Ill try the other settings now

**These are the settings i ran it on..

That looks about right, 8800GTS 640 scores about same with an o/c 2.8ghz 4200+ in my brothers system. o/c the CPU to 2.75 to 2.8 and the cpu score will be around 2000, which will bump the overall score a fair bit.

Go install the latest 169.21 drivers or w/e the latest are on NV's site and tell me.

Go buy XP or something or however you got XP you need to re install sometime.

His score is not right, he has an 8800GTX, my old rig got 7300 with a GTS 640 @ 650/2.2 and a 3700+ single core @ 2.8Ghz.

nVidia control panel, make sure it's running in performance mode and not quality.

willhub · 15 Dec 2007 at 19:48

Those scores are not right, a GTX scores more than a GTS.

Margaret · 15 Dec 2007 at 19:49

That's very dodgy performance, when I had a single core Athlon 3000+ @ 2Ghz and a 7900GT I got like 100+ fps on the stress test at 1440x900 with all on High and 4xMSAA.

Just downloaded the one from nvidia and its come up with ...

Would do, but the icon has gone from the taskbar ... Lol

**Edit** Jus changed it from Quality to performance ... Shall i run 3dMark06 again ?

Yes but not with that CPU, the diff for me when bench 3dmark test using GTS 640 with 4800+ (my old CPU) was 8500'ish > Dual Core 6600 10700'ish > Quad 12000'sh. Here's my bro's 3dmark and OP's >

Bro's>

OP's>

The only thing odd with OP's score is the SM2.0 result, its tad low. Ok granted not same gfx card, but i know for sure the 4200 at stock will hold such a grunty card as GTX back fair bit...

Right click on your wallpaper/background then, or find it in Control Panel.

Yes, see if there's a performance change.
