3dmark 11 - Physics target score suddenly higher - Whats changed?

[David_VI]

Hey guys.

I ran 3dmark 11 as soon as I had clocked my i5 to 4.5ghz. Got a green tick and all is well I believe.

But then all of a sudden i've got the red X and the target for Physics has shot up. I can't figure out whats changed. My overall score is still around the same number but it expects a lot more of my physics?

Any ideas? 6700 to 10100 seems a big jump considering i've changed nothing.. that I can see.

Its probably some sneaky way to convince you to spend money on a GTX580.

Seriously that and looking at other peoples results on this forum with the same i5 has made me want a better card.. I suppose thats all that is holding me back..

Anyhow, I am properly confused about this. I've done quite a few benchmarks and only two got the tick!

Nvidia driver control panel settings all on application controlled, especially anti aliasing and filtering?

Yup, i've changed nothing since installing the drivers. I'm still getting around the same 3dmark result but the expectations of my gear has risen :\
