CPU going down in 3DMark05?

Thund3rball · 04-28-07, 03:26 PM

My settings are in my sig. Any comments on why my CPU score went down?
Thanks in advance!

On my first 3DMark05 about 2 weeks (stock settings no OC'ing):
3DMark - 7542
CPU: - 6260

3DMark05 from today (with OC'd GPU & stock CPU):
3DMark - 9959
CPU - 5882

CPU going down in 3DMark05 after GPU Overclock

Has anyone noticed something similar or have any idea why this happens?

Looks like the cpu was more busy/taxed by the video card being bumped up.

Thanks AlabamaCajun. I had a hunch but didn't have anything to compare my results with

Now that I have my GPU all juiced, I'll have to get OC'ing my CPU

Edit: Actually I now have managed to squeeze a 9959/6200 after some tweaking and a couple tries.
