I been messing around with mem timings trying to get my Geil Ultra Pc6400 running at 4-4-4-12 and I managed it. Me E6300 was running at 400x7 with me 8800GTS at stock.

I was scoring 8600+ on 3DMark06.

Great I thought! Tomorrow I'll start Oc'ing the graphics card.

I then went off and played a couple of games of cz to pass the time.

Get's in from work and boots the Pc. I brought an akasa exhaust fan to stick under the graphics card to help with cooling during oc, so I installed that and booted.

before I started I ran 3dmark06 .... I scored 7607!!!!

Almost 1000K less than the day before?

So off I went troubleshooting. Trust me when I tell you I tried eveything, reset everything in the BIOS I could think off. But nope I couldnt break the 8000 mark on 3dmark06??

2 and half hours later and I think, sod it I'll play cz for a while.

Drops into NVIDIA GPU settings and there in the settings:

Override AF run 16AF and override AA with 16Q AA!!!!!

What a pratt I felt. I always set those setting when playing cz but forget to unset before switching off the day before!

Switched them both back to application controlled and hey presto: 8679 score!!!

I might oc the graphics card this tomorrow. had enough of it toniight.

Doh!

(feel free to slate me, I did)
 
Why don't you speciffically set the higher settings for cz (what ever that is) in nvidia control panel? No messing and changing each time :)
