Not sure how you got over 12k for 06

One word - Photoshop!

Disabling all unneccessary services and ports, setting priorities?

There is a gorgeous water block about to come out for it. See it here . No doubt it will be very expensive but what a nice looking block.

What the hell have they made that out of? Brushed Silver?

Don't know how it performs with SS. Just think it looks bloody awful! Would never play with it on.

Your score looks a bit low tbh. I get well over 12k in 06 and 20k in 05 with the same speeds. No tweaks at all, just set to performance in control panel.

 

[Sumanji]

ok, how did you get those results in 06 ?

LOD...

 

[fornowagain]

LOD...

No on mine. Just set the control panel to performance, does that change the LOD bias? Not really looked into it, thought it puts on the all the optimisations?

 

[Sumanji]

Yeah, if you compare the same textures between performance and high quality they look awful... there's a reason why it's faster!

Imho everyone should benchmark on High Quality...

 

[fornowagain]

I can understand not liking LOD hacks (all the top scores use it), I don't like that myself. But doesn't everyone use the performance settings in the NV/ATi control panel. That's not the same as reducing LOD bias until it looks like a mural. Don't know if LOD makes that much difference anyway, I was under the impression LOD bias had limited results in 06, something like 100pts IIRC. I know setting performance mode on ATi makes the load screen all fuzzy, don't get that with this, it all looks nice and sharp.

I still think Devious' score is low. Mine scored 11175 at stock without touching any settings after installing

Nice scores Devious

From a [email protected] and the GTX clocked 660/2140 which is higher than quite a few I've seen.
