3DMark 06 Scores

[Kougar]

I can score over 10,500 3DMarks with a single 320mb GTS card. Your cards are not working together in SLI, and I would suspect the drivers are at fault.

[Schwarz]

I'll get the ones directly from XFX instead of using the nvidia ones.

[zachig]

Yeah, 9K seems way too low!!! First replace your drivers with the offical ones and keep us updated! GOOD LUCK

[Schwarz]

I now got 11296 with my CPU oced to 3.46GHz.
Now all I have to find is why 3dmark won't recognise that both of my 8800GTS are enabled...
Its a little ridiculous since it is enable driver wise and it works in COD2.
Maybe its windows vista 64...

Maybe its windows vista 64...

Remember nVidia driver support ain't up to par so it could be that.

[zachig]

Remember nVidia driver support ain't up to par so it could be that.

Yeah, that's might be the reason...

[Schwarz]

Well it don't seem to be that either since I just reinstalled windows XP

BTW I got 13446 but it still only says

Processor Intel Core 2 3465 MHz

Physical / Logical CPUs 1 / 2

MultiCore 2 Processor Cores

HyperThreading N/A

Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Graphics Driver NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Co-operative adapters No

DirectX Version 9.0c

System Memory 2048 MB

Disk Space 143.09 GB

Motherboard Manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer INC.

Motherboard Model StrikerExtreme

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP

I really don't know whats wrong, why SLI won't enable itself with 3dmark...

HyperThreading N/A

Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Graphics Driver NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

Co-operative adapters No

I think now it's OK, as I see it detects TWO 8800GTS, was it like that before?

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure 3DMark06 doesn't write "SLi" but does write it has TWO Graphics Cards...

I think now your score is much more reasonable with more than 13K points, it's not that you'll be getting twice the score you got with one 8800GTS, though (again...) I might be wrong.

Let's wait for the "experts"...

[Schwarz]

Yah it says Graphics card 8800 and graphics driver 8800

I would have thought I would have hit at least 15000 like Koug said its what he gets with only one card.
Though his might be OCed I think ima oc mine too.
And when I get my CPU higher then 3.46 I think I might be able to hit close to 15000

[werty316]

When running SLi, "Co-operative adapters" should say Yes". However I did some checking and that score of 13K seems right for two 8800GTS 320MB cards in SLi.

Just to be sure though give 3Dmark05 a run and see what score you get; you should get around 20K in 3Dmark05.

[Schwarz]

Ill go DL it right now. (3dmark05)
So you say that 13k is the norm... ok I guess.

[werty316]

Based on some reviews I found, its seems so.

Thanks a lot werty this reasures me

[westy87]

Have you tried running it with only one card in, and then straight after with 2 in and compare scores?

[Schwarz]

Yah I did.
I get around 7000 with one if I remember correctly.
Now I'm installing the old drivers.
97.44_forceware_winxp_international
I'll see if that works if not then I would guess SLI is enabled but 3dmark doesn't recognise it.
Becuase I do get a huge improvement in COD2.
