9800GX2 - New Computer! 3D Mark problems!

TheDude13 · 8 May 2008 at 19:51

I have my new PC up and running!

Its a Quad Core Q6600 at 3.2GHz with 4GB OCZ Memory at 1000MHz and a 9800GX2.

When I got it I installed 3D Mark 06 and got 16275!

But then when I realised my dual display wasnt working I started messing about and now 3D Mark scores 13200!

Ive re-installed drivers and yet still cant get the 16000 score anymore!

I dont rely on 3D mark its just that 3000has just dissapeared! Any Ideas?

If you've set the card to dual display then it will have disabled sli. Unlike ATi the silly NV drivers can't do both.

Go into the NV control panel and change multi display mode to multi gpu and you should be good to go.

Cheers for reply! Its set to Single Display Performance at the moment!

The options are Single Display, Compatibility Display or Multiple Display!

Even when I selected Multiple Display it wouldnt find my additional monitor.

Why has my score got so much lower? Im so confused.

SLi can't do Dual Screens, so 13k will be about right as your only running on a single core, which is 1x GTS downclocked to GT speeds.

If you want dual screens its a 3870X2 I'm afraid

.

steve258 · 8 May 2008 at 20:14

yeah sounds like sli is not working in that case 13k is normal as in single card mode it's essentially downclocked 8800GTS.

LoadsaMoney · 8 May 2008 at 20:15

Yeah only Crossfire can do dual screens.

TheDude13 · 8 May 2008 at 20:29

Well Ive uninstalled the Nvidia Drivers and reinstalled them and Im still getting 13K! How do I get back to the 16K I got when I first got my computer? :mad:

It says single display mode?

This is really annoying me now as I know its capable of 16K

I remember because the first scene inside the armoured ship got over 90FPS and now it gets between 80 and 84.

HEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP please

Have you disconnected the second monitor? If not unplug it from the graphics card.

steve258 · 8 May 2008 at 20:39

Have you re-enabled sli option?

fornowagain · 8 May 2008 at 20:41

With a GX2 it just says multi GPU enable iirc.

TheDude13 · 8 May 2008 at 20:52

I have disconnected the second monitor!

I have no option to enable SLi. Where is it?

In 'Manage 3D Settings' and 'Global Settings' one of the options is 'Multi-Display/mixed GPU acceleration' and its set to Single display performance mode?

I keep getting 13000 and its so frustrating!

Dude! Just seen you're sig and I downloaded that TechpowerUp GPU Z!

It says my SLi is disabled! So atleast that confirms it! Now how the hell do I enable it?

And Dude, you're PC Kicks Ass if you dont mind me saying so!

I dont have the Multi GPU option for some reason!

Any More Ideas?

TheDude13 · 8 May 2008 at 21:22

Any more suggestions guys? Why isnt my Nvidia control Panel giving me the option to enable it?

LoadsaMoney · 8 May 2008 at 21:24

Did you do a proper uninstall with DriverCleaner in safe mode after removing the drivers, before you reinstalled them.

No! Ill try that!

I just read that the multi display option has nothing to do with Multi GPU so I have no idea whats going on!

TheDude13 · 8 May 2008 at 21:34

Im having no luck man!

Just no option to enable SLi mode? :mad:

fornowagain · 8 May 2008 at 21:37

Take a look at the device manager, does it show two gpus?

TheDude13 · 8 May 2008 at 21:41

No! Under display adapters theres just 1 9800GX2 if that helps?
