****OFFICIAL****3D Mark 11 Benchmarks Results Thread

Got 9145 with the drivers (GPUa @ Stock and CPU @ 4.2) - still showing as "Graphics driver is not approved"

Also bad flickering through all tests - although I havent rebooted and have several apps up and running
 
P5626 at stock and P7369 when overclocked from the GTX460 SLI I am currently toying with. Easily beats one of my GTX580's but shame you cannot tri-SLI them otherwise they would give the GTX580 a serious spanking for the same money.

A 31% score increase from a 33% overclock whilst in SLI! It just goes to show how good current NVidia cards (GTX460/570/580's) are at overclocking.

edited: to say that I am currently running one of the cards in a x8 slot so that I can use the single PCI slot on my UD3R mobo. If I used both 16x PCI-E slots the score would be slightly higher.

I did do a reboot and haven't experienced any flickering.
 
What make are the 460s 555BUK?
They are reference PNY GTX460's. I have purchased 5 of these recently for friends & family builds, and each of them have hit 900-930MHz with added voltage. The best 460 I have owned/testes was an ASUS DirectCU which could run 960MHz, but generally they will all do 900 as long as cooling, mobo and PSU can handle it.

Once I get my new PC set up this week, would it still be possible to use both my Ati 5970 2GB and Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB in Windows 7, or is that no longer possible?

I hope Nvidia haven't fixed it so I can get the best possible performance running 3dMark11. My intention is to use the 8800GTS for Physx and would like to know if anyone else is still doing that and what Nvidia drivers work best?
 
Just installed SLI drivers 266.58 and now 3DMark is now saying:

#Of Cards 1
Driver Status Not FM approved

Getting a miserly score of P3593 :(

Or with only one GTX460 is this to be expected? (Clocks are: Core: 777, Memory: 1900)


EDIT: I'm a retard, see below :)

Update to above post.

Forgot that new drivers wouldn't have SLI enabled as default and I also ramped up the clocks to Core: 800, Memory: 1950.

New scores:

P6644

Graphics Score: 6778
Physics Score: 7781

GT1: 30.88
GT2: 32.81
GT3: 42.15
GT4: 20.35 (ouch!)
PT: 24.70
CT: 22.61

Not sure if the driver hack still works, but I don't think it will make any difference in 3DM11 as as far as I know the physics is all down to CPU power as opposed to GPU like in Vantage
