Just installed my new 8800GTS and have clocked it to 580 and 1700.

However, im only getting 10800 in 3dMark 05 - the rest of my setup is 4200+ AMD Dual core and 2 gig of ram.

I was getting 10500 with my old X1900XT - what the SMEG is going on?
 
im using RIVATuner to overclock - ive gone into the system settings and overclocked to 650/2.2 and ive also used D3D Overider and turned off vsync in all options.

I STILL get about 7400 points in 06....grrrrrr
 
Ok ive done the following:

1) Uninstalled Drivers
2) Ran driver cleaner
3) Ran riva tuner and clocked to 650/2.2 by just upping the sliders.
4) Installed and updated drivers
5) Ran 3dmark 06 and still get 7411

help! any ideas? im gonna try 3dmark 05
 
OK - i get THE SAME SCORE when i set the clock speeds back to stock - its not overclocking in Rivatuner - do i have to do something in particular?
 
currently im getting about 7600 in 06 - according to 06 - im not using futuremark approved drivers - however, the drivers im using are directly from the nvidia website and newer than the ones futuremark want me to download and use - im bloody confused.

Oh one more thing - im turned on D3D Overrider from the rivatuner memory and have turned off all the v-sync options. Howevere whenever i run a 3d application it makes that windows 'bee-bump' sound. Any thoughts?

The above is the rivatuner diagnostic report i get - look ok? im not sure but it doesnt look like its registering any overclocks?
 
GIBBO - can you help at all? - Another Update: I CANT turn on the DX10 surfaces in Bioshock........ - OH wait - its Vista only - ok ignore that.
 
yep - i ran test each time and then clicked on apply - and nothing happens apparently...... its SO strange - when i click test - it just does nothing - no pop ups or anything and then i click apply. So it seems to be fine in that regard although it is becoming very apparent that its not overclocking as i ask it to
 
ok i have officially given up on trying to get the correct results from my 8800GTS. I have just bitten the bullet and spent £300 on this bundle:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-037-OK&groupid=701&catid=339&subcat=

If that doesnt sort out the problem then i give up. Im also wiping my C: drive and completely re-instaling XP with fresh drivers etc. I reiterate - if that doenst sort the problem then i will shave my head and become a monk or something....... or go get drunk...... or both...

that's a very odd way of spending £300, could have gotton a MUCH better spec for the money...

I would be obliged if you could show me? Each item specified on an individual basis comes out more expensive than the bundle package costs - thus, its cheaper to buy them as a bundle package - if there were a better option for the money then i would expect overclockers to have offered it - as such, they have not.
