8800Gtx - low fps

[willhub]

For an 8800GTX there should be at least another 1000 3dmarks there.

Its probably not the problem but is it definately getting enough power? Both cables plug in etc?

No need for BOLD aware what's in OP's pc, but once again the CPU is the problem, plenty more example's of why, the sm 2.0 score is down thnaks to CPU, go take a glance at 3dmark06 thread >

"10588 | Voo | amd athlon 64 x2 6000+ @ 3014mhz | nvidia 8800gtx 768mb @ 600/1800"

Back again

First run of 3dMark06

New run with Quality settings instead of Performance

Am i just right in saying my motherboard and cpu blow ? And buy new ? Lol

Would'nt go that far but at stock CPU's not helping, most 4200+ will be good for 2.7ghz at least and you will see high 8000's maybe with that or o/c your GTX and should push be able to push 10,000. Tbh....3dmark is not a true reflection of ingame peformance as we all know.

Im not trying to i'll advise you, just stop you waisting your time messing about for no reason.

Ye i get what u mean, but when i shell'd out for the GTX i thought Happy Thoughts ! Lol, its not comming true atm

I'd rather just buy new stuff / a lot better than O'C as i dont know enough to do it lol

My mother board is a 940 Socket..

Surely its 939? I didnt think there were any dual core CPUs on socket 940.

 

[sneak]

According to CPU-Z it is

Well I dont think they are right and would be expecting an extra 1000 marks on top of those for an 8800GTX if it was performing right, the AMD CPU's cant be that slow..

 

[Defcon5]

Sorry i thought you meant the original socket 940, of the FX-51 era

 

[sneak]

So there is definately something bottlenecking it then... As results dont seem to be lining up ?

Cost a lot less though The gfx card easy overclock, as i understand it and going by a thread in this section while back; Expertool (Gainwards tool) works fine with all GTS/GTX cards and easy to use, just ask people what the safe o/c limit is for GTX >

Lol i know but i was thinking about some new stuff since buying the gtx I've just been really curious on why its not performing like it should do

- Update motherboard bios
- Check PCI-E Bandwidth (16x)

Try them if you haven't already.

 

[sneak]

Yep, all done already

Installed latest Directx? Tried XP or a fresh install?

 

[RaiderX]

your cpu is definitelly a limit, the SM2 and 3 should be 5k+

Force vsync off in the drivers:

I'd be incline to agree...however built silly amounts of 4200+ & 3800+ PC's during the year to varying levels of spec (inc using GTX); imo OP's scores are more or less on the money for stock clocks.

Yep latest Direct X and no XP disk

Ive already forced the vsync off too

Could some1 clock me up a price + List for a new CPU ? Or *** ever else
