3d mark 06

Griffyn · 27 Nov 2006 at 02:16

I have never actually seen my clocks change. Which menu can you see them changer under and how do you get this to come about? Thanks in advance mate

Why is everyone else scoring so much higher though?

All the hardware in your pc has to work together, and if a some hardware dosent get along 100% with your x1900xt card, your bound to have lower 3dmark scores then other ppl.

Very true. But his system is very similar to mine when I had an XTX and I scored 30% more in graphics rendering with similar gpu clock. His score is down, could be a lot of things. I had problems with a Tagan power supply drooping 12v under load. Don't give up yet.

To the OP, open ATiTool, I used version 14 for mine. Open 3d view, the clocks should go up/down. As long as the 2d/3d services are enabled, it might ask if you want to turn them off, click no. Tbh I don't think you would score what you have if it was in 2d clocks.

Come to think of it, mine scored over 6.5K with an X2 @2.7GHz and an old style DFI ultra-d.

x1900xtx 693/850
Opteron 170 @ 2.72
sm2 2652
hdr 2919
cpu 2025

= 6589

First thing I'd do is uninstall all the graphics programs. Strip out the ATi drivers with Drivercleaner pro in safe mode. And start again with the latest drivers and .net CCC set to performance. Then see what it scores.

Thanks for the reply as seen below its doing 2d speeds?

I will try do what you recommended tomorrow about cleaning drivers however. But is it definitetly a driver problem?

If you can't make out from pic its doing 500/600 in 3d view!

I dunno its to small to read

Ahhhhrrrrggg my eyes.

Can you show us the ATiTool panel a bit closer?

Griffyn · 27 Nov 2006 at 03:03

Sorry didnt realize it would come out so small

What the default clocks, I can't remember.

I'll have a quick look, used to get asked every 5mins.

Griffyn · 27 Nov 2006 at 03:08

Well they are 2d speed clocks.

Should get 6 650/775 as 3d?

Yeah looks like its not switching into 3d.

You know you clock it from ATiTool? Works very well. Check the voltages, see what they are set to, should be

Radeon X1900XTX 2D Mode 500MHz 600MHz
Radeon X1900XTX 3D Mode 650MHz 775MHz

2d/3d
VGPU 1.175v / 1.425v
MVDDC 2.086v / 2.086v
MVDDQ 2.086v / 2.086v
VDDCI 1.486v / 1.486v

If its not changing to 3d then am I only adjusting 2d speeds? As if i try to get stock speed with what I assume is 2d I get BSOD or monitor turns off.

Well 2d is really 3d, a driver Ati2evxx.exe or something like that, ups the voltage and the clocks. If you set the voltage in ATitool as I posted up there, its then stock 3d. Then go to the front and type in the clock you want, hit set clocks and its now running at that speed. Bench it, play it whatever.

Once you get your head round it, I had it so Atitool took over the 2d/3d speeds, worked well.

these were my 24/7 3d voltages, they're not extreme just a nudge from stock . Mine went to 740/850 iirc.

VGPU = 1.45v
MVDDC = 2.102v
MVDDQ = 2.102v
VDDCI = 1.5v

Well I uninstalled ATI tray tools and ATI tools and restarted. I then installed ATI tools 16 then I could see it in 3d clocks. So guess tray tools was stopping something from happening maybe.

Hope it works, bench it, I'm curious to know what happens. If you use ATiTol don't forget the voltages changes.

Griffyn · 27 Nov 2006 at 04:04

Finially got that sorted!

Looks like ATI Tray tools was disabling my card from going to 3d mode!!! I could be wrong but look at the difference!

I think I may have it wrong but looks like with ATI Tray tools you actually have to switch between 2D and 3D manually with different profiles as otherwise stays at 2D?

Feel like such an idiot as have been playing games with 2D clock speeds all this time I guess, as the FPS seems a fair amount better in BF2142!!!

Thanks for everyones help! Especially fornowagain!

fornowagain · 27 Nov 2006 at 04:08

Hehe, nice one.

Griffyn · 27 Nov 2006 at 11:46

Back to my original question again now....is the above score a good one? (6707)

Alexrose1uk · 27 Nov 2006 at 12:07

Yep, thats a pretty decent score. I was confused by your previous score, as your system should be a step up from mine, and yet mine had a fair lead on yours (spec and 3dmark score in siggy)

Griffyn · 27 Nov 2006 at 12:21

cheers mate.

Just did 05 and that scored so much higher than what I did yesterday. Yesterday I think I got like 8-9k or something and my old pc got 6k so was a little annoyed! But much happier now it got 13k, twice as much as old rig.

Does this sound right? is it good?
Anyone?
