yesterday I ran 3dmark06 with my 2 3870s enabled and I got a score of 8560. Today I decided to run it with just one card and It actually scored higher, 10050. Any suggestions?
I too had a weird score mismatch the other day but in my case it happened when going from a Q6600 to a Q6700.
The Q6600 @ 3.5 scored like 16000 or so and the Q6700 @ 3.8 only reported 14500.
What's really weird is that during the tests, the framerates for the Q6700, as reported on screen, are obviously faster than when I ran the Q66600, by about 5 to 10fps on average.
no dude......something IS wrong.......there is no way getting THAT score is normal.....doesn't matter if it's amd or intel......i was getting 8000+ with my sig rig.....i reinstalled the vga drivers and got 18000+.......
yea that score is way off CPU bottle necked or not (even though thats not yoru problem anyways) you should be in the 17k range.i would have to guess and its only a guess its some sort of drievr issue
gotta be off, stock at 2.4GHz on my old Xeon 3060 and 1 3870 I saw about 9K I think, with the Q6600 at 3.6 I see almost 13K. From what I can tell you should be able to get above 15K EASILY with 2 x 3870's in SLI even with the bottleneck.
It's not normal at all. I get 10,600 with mine so you should be above that with 2.
I would try installing the VGA drivers again. I think you might have to install 1 card, install drivers, install the 2nd card, and install the drivers again for it to properly recognize both cards and set the drivers properly.
we don't need fanboyism in here, we are trying to help someone out. Posting that Intel/Nvidia is better is just rude. I'd start with new drivers, making sure that crossfire is enabled, and then if it still hasn't done anything, or just a little, THEN start worrying about CPU bottlenecks.
