I'm kind of confused with this and wondering if anyone else has seen this.
This is my result with the CPU at 4GHz and the GPU at 756/1512/1260 20468 Then I decided to bump the GPU to 756/1556/1296 and I get this 19147 What the hell?

these things happen you need to find a way to work around them, thats what seperates the good benchmarkers from the people who just have good hardware and bench.

Try lowering the overclock on your GPU memory..
Nice score btw, I want a 4ghz quad ;[ I can only score 18385 with my current clocks.

![]() I never claimed to be a good benchmarker. I need to practice a lot more so if I can get some tips here at overclock.net, it would help me to become a "good benchmarker".

That happens when the GPU is overclocked too high. You could try to run the test a few times to see if it doesn't mess up one of the times, thats worked for me before.

i want you to be a good benchmarker but the only way for that to happen is hours and hours of trial and error. you do it enough times you see how doing certain things can change your score for better or worse. from here if i were you i would try raising one clock at a time and see its effect.
