I recently got 3dmark05 and have been benchmarking my system. Specs are as follows
Asus p5wd2-p
p4 560 @ 3.71ghz
2gb PQI 5400 ddr2 4/5 @ 333/666
BFG 7800GTX at stock speeds (470/1200)
74gb raptor
OCZ 520w powerstream
I have a 92mm fan strapped to the heatsink of my 7800gtx to cool it off a bit better. I thought I was having a thottling issue but with or without the fan my scores are about the same. When I had the 81.92 drivers installed I score 7524. I uninstalled them, cleaned out the system, and installed the 82.12 drivers and scored 7612 I beleive. This is on a relatively fresh install of windows xp, only been running a few weeks since i put everything together brand new.
Someone else recently posted about getting 8100 points on his overclocked 7800gt. I just have a hard time beleiving my card scores so low compared to a 20 pipeline card. He is running an Athlon chip, does that really make that much of a difference? I was thinking about doing another format and fresh install but im not sure if that will really help.
I checked out my temps and I only hit about 60 degrees on load with my added fan strapped to the heatsink. Before it was around 70 or so without, which is why i thought i had a throttling issue.
Another funny thing happened, I ran 3dmark05 again this morning after ocing the card to 480/1225 and I scored lower than stock speeds. It was around 7560.
Anyone know whats going on? Do Intels really score that much lower than an athlon machine? Even with a lower powered gfx card?
what are some scores of stock 7800gtx on a p4 system compared to mine? I browsed around the 3dmark05 website and think there is room to improve. I just dont know where to go.
