3d mark 06 Help

Just ran it on my new pc. Think something is wrong.

It was very laggy, about 20fps all the time and when it got to a cpu test it was 0 fps constant i had to do alt ctlr delete.

Any idears?

Would be better to leaveit to run. Cpu score for me does 1 fps with an opty 165. Let us now what score you get. WOuld give us a better idea if we knew your overall score.

Ok goin to leave it running, will post score in a bit

If you havent overclockd your cpu they try that as well. My 3200 would run at 2.5 on the same board as yours.

Surely thats not right?

I can't get my cpu above 2.2 even with ram on lowest divider.

My Gainward 7800GS Get's more then that :confused:

Damn thought i did something wrong, black and white 2 lagged like crazy :confused:

Can anybody help me

Could this be anything to do with how the power is plugged into the grfx card?

You are not that far off the pace with that set-up. Your SM3.0 3dmarks are about right, I scored similar with my overclock 7800gt, but because I was using a faster CPU I broke 4k overall. With my 7900gt at stock I got 4.3ish.

The obvious advice is to make sure you've set everything to 'high performance' rather than 'high quality' (though i'm not sure how that works with ATI cards) and run the test again from a clean boot.

But dont expect massive gains, 3dmark06 is VERY demanding and very CPU dependant. For anything less than a 7800 card or 6800SLi rig it's virtually a slide show.

Not that I can think of.

Seriously, go onto ORB and search for people's results with a similar set up to you. You'll find you aren't scoring THAT low.

Could i have this ORB link pls?

Thanks

This first link is what I was getting with a very overclocked 7800gt:

You'll see that your scores are similar (which they should be) except on the CPU where you fall behind.

This link:

http://service.futuremark.com/orb/projectsearch.jsp

shows you what other people with a similar set up to you are getting. As you can see....you're actually doing pretty well.

Speed bumping that CPU will really help.

Just got 4k

A2Z · 21 May 2006 at 12:46

when i run it i also get 0fps for the cpu test...winnie [email protected], x1800xt, but it also crashes it :confused:

Well ** processor is only a 512kb cache core clocked at 2.0ghz, overclock your 3200+ venice to 2.6-2.8 on air no problem and try tightening up your ram timings.

Camalot · 21 May 2006 at 14:02

I can't get it above 2.2 even with ram on lowest divider.

Oddly on my board the 266 divider is completely unstable and I have to use the 333 one regardless. Have you tried playing with one of the higher dividers and maybe loosening your ram and pushing it further?

Camalot · 21 May 2006 at 14:20

no. i just tried 245 and diddnt even boot. all ram timings are on auto except MA Timing 2t.

I been using 166 divider, ill try lowering timings and using 133 divider

No no loosen the timings. Make them higher. Try 3-3-3-8. You might be able to get 210-220mhz maybe with value ram at those speeds.
