Jolly good, now what can I do to increase it ?!

A couple of things that help to improve scores are:

  • Make sure you are running as few processes as possible
  • turn off things like Steam - Origin - Uplay
  • Turn off the internet
  • Disable Aero

Those basic things can give some small increases to scores and other than pushing the clocks to the max of the card, not much else you can do. More volts and water will obviously help but they come with risks.

I've never bothered turning off the internet or disabling steam as my 3dmark is through steam. :p

You start 3DMark up and then turn off steam I believe. I have mine on steam also but a seperate one for desktop, so no need for steam to be on.

Do the run, re-enable the internet to validate the score with the link. Every little helps :)

Yeah might be worth a shot. I didn't think you could exit steam with a game/app running but ill give it a go.
 
I used to go into task manager and turn off everything i didn't need :D
Only really helps with the physics tests though to be fair, never tried pulling the cable for the net mind....surely it isn't worth much?

Another thing to do is a clean install. Every time I have done this, the gains have been good. Not sure if it is because of all the bloat ware we end up having but it deffo improves the scores. A tad extreme but handy for anytime we do a fresh install.

Not sure also but it is something I have done when proper going for it, as I don't want anything like a windows update kicking in or AV updates. It just stops those kind of potential drains on the hardware.

That's dedication.
I'd rather buy a spare SSD just with a bench install on :D

Ahh, i used to turn *everything* off :D
Could net a few extra points on the physics, made a lot of difference for the Vantage runs when i had the SB-E rig, enough to get 1 or 2 places further up the tables :)

A good shout on the spare SSD. I have a 60GB one I use for recording with ShadowPlay, which is rather boring in truth, so might just do that :)

I'm still waiting for BT to get their finger out and finish this FTTC stuff....so i can stream in decent bloody quality, wont need to record footage to disk anymore just download from my stream :D

It's annoying because the other week i got a message saying my address is all connected up, checked online and it's showing as connected, went to get some infinity ordered only to find....i'm no longer connected?? :confused:
