8800 GTS Performance

[unclepablo]

Good to hear mate - out of interest what was sucking the processor ? Anti what

Oh, shame on the "OC your processor" posts! That was clearly nothing to do with it...

They cant help it, its drilled into them at a very young age

well lets see how it performs in oblivion etc...when running at stock

your 3d marks scores are low for a reason.

I know what i'm talking about....trust me

Those 3DMark scores seem low, at default 8800GTS speeds I got 12553 in '05 and 7951 in '06 with a AMD X2 @ 2.5Ghz so I would expect a Core2 Duo to score higher.

you can't compare a AMD X2 @ 2.5 against @E6300 @ 1.8+, the are good but not that good!

Hi Guys, i have just purchased a new system spec as follows:

C2D e6300 Stock
2gb Corsair Dominator memory
Gigabyte DS4
BFG 8800GTS Stock
150gb 10k rpm SATA


I have been experiencing some performance issues in games i have been playing. Enemy Territory has an annoying sound skip and mouse jump every few seconds. In Prey whenever i have a Neon Light, Slot machine or TV in the characters FOV my fps dramatically drops. Also the main menu is fine but the system menu is slow as a dog!

I am getting 11478 Marks in 3DMark05 is this the norm for my spec?
Any idea's about the sound/Mouse jumping?

I may try a fresh install of windows but only once i know that it will help.

Cheers

when installing new hardware you should ALWAYS do a fresh install of your OS, how could you not? i have the same stuff as you more or less, what power supply you using? And those 3D/05 scores are not low in fact sounds about right to me if you are running stock, dont forget that 3D/05 in not dual core optimised as is 3D/06 i get 13500+ @ stock everything in 3D/05 and 8500 in 3D/06

Aha! setting all processes to core 0 and ET to core 1 has fixxed the problem. one of the processes running in task manager must be hogging the cpu every few seconds. i will hunt the little begger down but now for some spangly new graphics and german killing

Cheers

Glad you got it sorted!

Now go play!!!

Not true.

As long as you use Driver Cleaner or something of that sort you can quite easily change your graphics card without a reinstall.

Infact I recently went from an ATi X1900XTX to an 8800GTS without reinstalling with no performance loss or problems whatsoever.

I get a nats under 11K in 06 with the spec below, and games are flying.

Only component you really need to reinstall for is the mobo.

Never tested mine at stock by my 6300 at 2.8 does 14769 on a stock Gts so clock the cd2 up

This was a fresh install i just did it over the space of a day so didnt do a very good jobbie. That is why i did it again. still getting lag in MP3's and ET when i run them on the same core as the programs/system files. could a don please move this over to thew windows forums please

I agree with easyrider, you have a great cpu, a great motherboard, what have you got to loose?

OC that 6300, there apparently not even difficult to clock anyways

 

[Smitho3]

theres no doubt about the c2d being a good clocker, i do intend to clock the nuts off it, of course i do want to sort out this lag problem first any programs out there that monitor cpu performance more accurately than windows?

I dont know what your reading is like but please point me to the post that says "I just changed my GPU and bla bla bla"

Thats right M8 before you OC you need it to run right @ stock, why people think you need to OC it to resolve your issues is beyond me 1st things first M8! P.S what PSU are you using?

I am running a hyper 580watt jobbie so i doubt its that, i just downloaded a program from microshaft thats a more detailed version of the process manager that you get as standard. I will take a more detailed look at all of my processes when i get the chance unless anyone has had this problem before..... bring on vista i'm bored of XP now

Dude chill out. He only give an example that you don't ALWAYS need to do a fresh install of your OS when installing new hardware, and he was right, hence you were wrong.
