Was looking around some reviews and came across these benchmarks by extremetech.

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1914800,00.asp

Can anyone get anywhere near the scores hes posted? Most i can get at 1280x1024 4xaa 8x ansio (set in game settings) is 87.49 fps, whereas he's getting 107fps. Puzzling thing is hes using a dual core @ 2.4 ghz, far as im aware the source engine doesn't have support for dual core yet, my cpu;s clocked at 2.7 ghz and yet he's outpacing me by a good margin. :confused:

(benchmarks are done in the stress test btw)
 
Hmm something must be wrong here then, even with 3d mark 06 im only scoring 4299. :confused:

I removed the previous card ran driver cleaner etc...might need a reinstall of windows possibly.

Ive the settings in ccc set to game preference, no hq aniso or adaptive fsaa. Not really sure whats going on to be honest. Think ill do a format and see what comes of it.
 
Just formatted and reinstalled, now getting 113.46 fps with my opteron @ 2.7 ghz (cat 6.4). Kesnel what speeds your cpu at?
 
Bumpage,

Put together my system along with the dfi board a couple of days ago, re-rean the tests, now getting only 93fps at 1280x1024 8xaf 4xfsaa, actually decreased from the asrock mobo by about 20fps, even though the cpu;s running at 2774mhz. :confused:

Using cat 6.3 since they dont have the weird boot screen bug.

Completly new install the other day due to a new sata hard drive as well.


dfi cfx 3200
2 gig gskill pc 4000hz
western digital sata 16mb cache 400gig
opteron 144 @ 2774 mhz
x1900xtx @ stock


I woulda assumed the dfi board would have given me a slightly better result in this benchmark but nope. :confused:
 
Bios has been updated, gonna try some different drivers tomorrow, though i dont see any giving me a 20fps bump :(
 
Well would you believe that over a month after i posted this even with crossfire im unable to replicate the benchmark results in that article. :confused:
