ill try later with much better speeds

Your CPU score seems a bit low; my x2 4400 @ 2680mhz gives over 2000 cpu marks.

 

[smids]

Yup - I get 1900 CPU score with my X2 4400+ @ 2.6ghx (FX-60 stock).

 

[Jokester]

Yeah, I'm getting a bigger CPU score as above (X2 2.7GHz). Could be poor memory timings?

They would have to be very poor as I'm running 3-3-2-5 260mhz... And tbh, the A64's respond a lot more to timings than frequency (but I'm sure you already know that Jokester! ).

 

[jemz]

oh yer 3-4-4-8 didnt help

now trying 2.5-3-3-3-7 1T @256fsb

 

[Jokester]

Only other thing I can think of is you might have something bloated running in the background.

Jokester

 

[jemz]

ok what about the score now?

[jemz]

thanks for any help or input

 

[hannibal2381]

i get just about that score with my x1800xt pe and my opteron [email protected]

 

[Jokester]

Getting there but still not brilliant, I would have expected 2200 at least.

*heads off to The Orb*

Jokester

Edit:- Yeah, way off the pace for that CPU speed, typical seems to 2400~2500

 

[jemz]

wow thanks for your help jokester
now its about right
http://server2.uploadit.org/files/jemzlavigne-3dmark065.JPG
seems lower volts helped...now at 1.55v

 

[Jokester]

No probs, are you using the Asus MB yet?

Jokester

 

[jemz]

not till tomorrow i wanted to test everything to max here....so i can take that onto asus test tomorrow
lol btw jeez its gonna take some to beat your super pi score

 

[Jokester]

I can't believe it's lasted so long to be honest.

Jokester

 

[jemz]

hehe

from my tests so far it can super pi @ 3497mhz easy @ 269fsb
mem is rated to run upto 300fsb...but this crap DFI boad wont let me change muti..if i do it needs cmos reset

300fsb 300x11.5 3496mhz with mem @ 1-1...would have close to very low 24secs atleast
but thats test for tomorrow

 

[jemz]

oh i just noticed that score was with 1280x1024 res

should i test it at lower res?

 

[smids]

No, I believe that is the new default setting.

 

[Jokester]

To be honest, I wish Futuremark would through in some AA/AF as well for a better real world comparison.

Jokester

 

[jemz]

ok what about this......more standard test

http://server2.uploadit.org/files/jemzlavigne-new3dmark06.JPG

u can add AA/AF i think - where u can change res
it scores 43,000 in 3dmark01
what all this means.....lol who knows
