Haha for sure.

BTW, I had my CPU overclocked to 4.23 on that test.

Im beginning to think it's the card again. I got the new PSU in there and it's still blinking. I don't know what the hell else it could be but it's really frustrating.

**kellyrx8** · 2009-06-04, 10:19 PM

what do you mean its blinking??? like the screen flickers or flashes???

Yeah.

And I know it's not the monitor because I've tried it on 2 different ones.

Just got my 4870X2 installed wait tell i get XP on this bad boy!

notarealjeep · 2009-06-07, 10:17 PM

i just noticed that it says my cpu is at 4GHz in the 3dmark site and 4.2GHz on CPU-Z that's weird cause throttling was disabled

hoostie · 2009-06-08, 05:31 PM

not bad scores. I wonder if you can use one of your old gtx's for physx. Dont know if its possible. Never looked into it. Then you could get you some vantage scores.

BOWLCUT · 2009-06-08, 06:55 PM

I never thought I'd see the day when Nick went ATi... He always made fun of my ATi card... You 1 upper, you.

BOWLCUT · 2009-06-09, 01:41 PM

So yeah. Vista Ultimate x86...

With my new GTX260.

notarealjeep · 2009-06-25, 11:54 PM

and again even with throttling off it says my CPU is slower in 3dmark06? but the right speed in CPU-z?!?!!??? Oh. well.. yeah yeah 3dmark06 it CPU dependent i know i know!

I still dont get why people are posting 06 scores...please use vantage...

How much? pm me

Anyone have any advise on how to get my friend's 3dmark scores up? Computer is freshly built, q6600, 2 gtx 260's, 8gb ddr3-1600 ram and can still only manage a little over 12k on 3dmark. It is not over clocked at all and runs every game on full setting perfect. Wouldnt you think it would be able to muster better than a 12k?

Something is definitely not right.

The q6600 is only a mild performer at stock speeds and my dual 8800gts's were also 12k on stock settings. At stock speeds, the q6600 is a bottleneck.

Another reason why we're telling you all to ditch 3dmark06. CPU dependent, not gaming realistic. If they were to run vantage with a q6600 at stock speeds, you'd see scores more in line with the computer's gaming abilities.

Going off the current scores, you might think his rig would be worse at gaming than an i7 with only one 260 scoring around 18k but you'd be mistaken.

silver5liter · 2009-06-29, 04:46 PM

hmm, what would you recommend as some stable overclocked settings?

3.0 is usually easy as pie. Keep multiplier at 9. Set FSB to 1333 and set the CPU voltage to manual and run the VID listed in CoreTemp.

Example: In coretemp, my VID is listed at 1.2250 V. Set CPU voltage to 1.2250, FSB to 1333 and be done.

I had rock solid 24/7 stability and my scores bumped up very nicely. I run it daily and rarely overclock more than that anymore.

Thanks, ended up getting it to 3.0ghz and got a 15525 on 3dmark06. Still low, but it was nice to see an improvement lol
