Which 3DMark?

JooJar · 9 May 2011 at 10:07

I'm using 2011 which is giving me low FPS, around 25-30 in tri SLI mode with 3 GTX 580's. After some research I read a number of people had the same issue and posts that were saying the newer version will give you lower FPS and to use 06.

Is this true?

Well the newer version is more demanding than 06 by a long way, but if you're getting that low performance with 3 580s, there's probably another issue somewhere.

What are you using it for anyway?

3DMark? Just to benchmark. The machine I am using to game and for work which is Graphic Design and video editing.

I am getting much lower, but what setting was that on? I was testing in Extreme.

I will run it again and screenshot.

I ran mine in performance mode and this is what I got:

I also noticed that GPU1 and GPU ran at 97%. GPU1 went up to 89c in temprature.

GPU2 however remained very inactive using only 27% max, but average was around 12% :/

Even 3dmark is saying my score is low for my hardware.
