3dmark06 lower score after .. ? - Overclock.net

hello people

i had my cpu overclocked to 3.36 ghz

and my evga 9800gtx superclocked stock

i got 13537

so i OCed my CPU to 3.4 <-- and i got lower score after test

so i thought it was from the Temp then i got back to 3.36

and did the test again ... still getting low scores !

under 13000

and now i oced my 9800gtx i finally got the 13537 back !

what happened ? was I having bugs before and getting higher scores ?

Some motherboards perform worse at a certain FSB. I know it applies to nvidia chipsets, not so sure about intel.

thats weird .. but i changed it back to 3.36 and im getting like 500 lower than my old score with the same fsb

Scores tend to vary in points on any setup regardless of the clock speeds but sometimes certain FSB speeds tend to be even slightly unstable enough that it can cause a drop in points instead of the increase we all like to see. IMO going from 3.36 to 3.4 I don't seeing giving you much of an increase in points anyway though. Just my

Maybe your motherboards 'internal timings' which could have caused the drop when you went to 3.4ghz didn't reset when you changed the FSB back. Try loading optimized defaults or reset cmos and set the 3.36ghz again.

Try going into sysconfig and shutting down all unnecessary process (make sure to click the hide all microsoft services box first) and start up processes as well, then reboot. That will free up some system resources and should help your score. Hope that helps.

Im just OCing my 9800gtx more and getting lower scores everytime I raise the clock speed and memory :O

maybe doing test after eachother continuesly affects?

Unlikely. It's more likely that if you're doing it on the same session as the last time you ran it, another process is having more and more in the way of resource demands. A variance is expected between all results, however, so maybe nothing is happening at all. It could be entirely normal.
