The rig is a bit old hat by most peoples standards I know but...
8150, 2 x 590GTX quad SLI, Asrock fatality 990fx pro.
I am only getting about 5500 on 3Dmark firestrike. I am sure I should be getting nearer 8000 (And I am sure I did when the 3Dmark demo first came out as freeware, I am now using the full version via steam)
Now...
Using task manager performance and afterburner what seems to be happening is that neither the CPU nor the GPU are maxing out.
(Indeed the CPU hardly seems to be being worked at all!)
three runs, low (720p) , medium (1080P) and high res (2560x1600)
with the low res run the cpu registers about 40% load (Guess) all cores seem to be being used roughly equally AB reports all GPU's being used equally but only around 70-80%
With medium and high resolutions cpu usage is lower with it hardly appearing to be used at all in highest.
In all cases GPU usage remains around 70-80%
Monitoring V-ram using AB usage seems within capacity with a couple of hunderd megs headroom even at the highest resolution.
So, What is going wrong??
