saint19 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi guys. I have a problem with my 3DMark 99 score. I'm running my CPU @ 3.8GHz (Phenom II X6 1090T9) and my GPU (GTX260) at 710/1200 from stock 620/1080. But the score that gives me is only 6900, why is so low? I see 8800 GTX with a Core2Duo E8700 @ 3.5GHz get a better score. What i'm doing bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Have you disabled V-sync? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm running Win 7. Do you think that's the problem?. I disable PhysX but not V-Sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm running Win 7. Do you think that's the problem?. I disable PhysX but not V-Sync The problem is not Win7 but the V-Sync. You have to disable it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ok, guys I will try that, Does the same for the other 3DMark editions? or just for 3DMark 99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted November 15, 2010 Crew Share Posted November 15, 2010 on 3dmark00 you have to disable it as well. and yeah win xp is much faster than vista\win7 on 3dmark99 and 00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi guys. I installed Win XP x86, but now 3DMark 99 refuses to run, the process is running in the task manager but the program don't load. What I did wrong? Do i need something more to run it? On wind 7 runs with 98/ME compatibility, but that configuration doesn't work on Win XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Did you add the Dx6 file on the directory ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Turrican Posted December 20, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 20, 2010 How do I do that? he means the ddraw.dll which is in the 3dmark99 download zipfile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 he means the ddraw.dll which is in the 3dmark99 download zipfile. Do you mean to drag and drop the .dll file in the 3DMark 99 installation folder, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted December 20, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 20, 2010 Do you mean to drag and drop the .dll file in the 3DMark 99 installation folder, right? after installing 3dmark99 you have to put the file into the 3dmark99 folder. (e.g. c:\program files\3dmark99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks, I will try tonight and let you know the results. One more question, I'm running 3DMark 2000 on Win 2000 compatibility, Do i need similar process? or it's fine as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted December 20, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 20, 2010 normally it should work. although i had to use "win 98 compatibility" to get it running under win xp x86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks, I will try tonight and comeback with the results. P.D. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my 1st language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint19 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 OK, this was the results with CPU a little overclocked and GPU at stock clocks. http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1093551_saint19_3dmark_99_max_geforce_gtx_260_42906_marks What do you think? If I use nivitor to change the GPU clocks, Is that permitted? or is a rule violation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted December 21, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 21, 2010 nice result. tools like "evga precision" or "msi afterbuner" should also work for video card overclocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint19 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks. I mean to change the clock in the GPU BIOS to always run at that speed, Is that possible? or i'm violating some rule. I'll try more overclock tonigh and see how far I can go with my old GPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted December 21, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 21, 2010 of course it's allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
