Ok by now the regulars here have read about my little annoying problem.. a few PM'd me and told me to try a few things .. My 9800 and Adams ex 5900 are scoring really low for some reason . We have same everything including settings ( except now i have a Barton 2500 )... Last two days i have been trying to figure out what was wrong and finally got dEadTed to bring his machine over. Its a 2.4c which we put back to stock for the following experiment.
I took my 9800 and put it in his machine and inserted HIS in my machine . Before we did this we ran 2003 again at stock.. he scored 5213 with his 9800 in his machine and i score 3983 with my 9800 in my machine.
So after that like i said we switched cards. His card now in my machine did not break 4000 and My card which i thought was Fubar scored into the 5200 area . So it isnt my card its something else. And because me and Adam have identical set ups i am leaning towards a driver problem or BIOS. IS it possible ? And if so what the heck do we do to fix it. Unfortunately we dont have the 5900 anymore because there is another 9800 incoming.
So any of you geniuses have an idea? because my head hurts now trying to figure it out. (this will be also in MoBo section) This is my system info again just in case ....
Barton 2500 [at stock again for now ]
2 x 256 samsung 3200 ddr set at 7-3-3-3 [even though i doubt thats it]
MSI 6570 K7n2 with the 5.2 bios
Enermax 420 what power supply
all at stock settings
ANY help or ideas would be helpful
Thanks folks
*EDIT* Also we did run the barton OC'd at 2200 and the 9800 STILl did not break 4k like it was locked at that score or something.
