New Q6600 and 06 score is horrible!!

Tweak486Dx2 · Oct 27, 2007

I dont get it, before I upgraded to this GO q6600 my 06 score was a hair under 11,000. My old cpu is in my sig. NOW with my new Q6600 clocked at 3600mhz stable my score only went to 11,200!!! http://service.futuremark.com/orb/resultanalyzer.jsp;jsessionid=JIKHFHLNKAIF

Whats the deal?? Am im missing something here?? Video card is in my sig.

Also im on Vista 32 bit.

You got the orb link for the E6600?

3.7ghz vs 3.6ghz ....whats not to understand ? The slower quad clock is going to score better in the cpu test but slower in the 3d tests so the over all composite score will suffer due to the lower clock speed of the quad....

thats with the e6600 at 3600 or 3700.

So a Quad only gets u 200 more points??? Somethings up.

Same OS and drivers etc?

Tweak486Dx2 · Oct 27, 2007

ok just switched my memory to 1:1 so its at 900mhz now and lowered my timings to 4-4-4-12 and scored 11800. Thats a little better I think. 12000 would be nice.

Also I just switched to the 169.01 drivers.

Heres the orb link http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=3536851

Ain't those the drivers that stop overclocking?

Tweak486Dx2 · Oct 27, 2007

no there the newest betas tuned for Crysis demo. RivaTuner just has problems running with them. Ntune still allows overclocking. GPUz shows my Card clocked.

I'm getting 12700 on a similar setup

You need to activate the Publish radio button for that project, then update. We can't view your 3d mark results..

benscoobert, would you like to post your ORB as well? It may help with comparison between the two.

What do u guys do before u fire up 3dmark? I just goto the Nvidia control panel and set to performance, overclock my video card and thats it. Is there something elso to raise the score????

Tyranos · Oct 27, 2007

We can't compare video cards, but my quad is scoring 755 points higher with only 90mhz on my cpu and few fsb.

Tweak486Dx2 · Oct 28, 2007

Well guys a late night of testing and the best I scored was 11,850. Not to bad I guess, BUT crysis still plays like crap. I gotta get a GTX!!!

jason4207 · Oct 28, 2007

12,360 for me, but I never set nVidia CP to performance. I think I actually had it set to quality.

I'm using the 163.69 drivers for V-64, and 163.71 drivers for XP-32. I installed the beta forceware drivers in VISTA for Crysis, but they just screwed everything up. I went back to the 163.69 drivers. I may need to try a drivercleaner, b/c Crysis crashed on me at the 1st checkpoint last night. Got that nvlddmkm.sys error, and then eventually a BSOD. I was running at 1280x960 w/ no AA. I didn't see where to adjust AF. I'm assuming HDR was on b/c it was in DX10 64-bit mode. I had all settings on medium, and was getting 40-75fps.

Ive been testing with prime and keep getting WOrker Thread 2 Error. DOes that mean one of the cores is erroring out??? Heres a screen shot.

Tweak486Dx2 · Oct 28, 2007

Just scored 49,000 in 01! Thats insane!

Ohioviper · Oct 28, 2007

Here is my score .12103

Tweak486Dx2 · Oct 28, 2007

U have a 640mb card though. Whats its clocked at?

Dragonprince · Oct 29, 2007

My rig ran 10,360 with my cpu at just 3Ghz and my video card at stock clocks.

New Q6600 and 06 score is horrible!!
