Please help (low cpu score in Aquamark -870@4600Mhz & GTX480)

[TheDogg]

Please someone who knows what in the cpu score aquamark fail more than 7-8K under windows xp 32bit sp3. I have a i7-870 clocked at 4600Mhz and GTX480. I tried several video drivers have the same problem.

Did you rename the aquamark.exe eg into 3DMar03.exe?

[TheDogg]

No. AQUAMARK

 

[Monstru]

Aw lol, did you use the patch?

[TheDogg]

I put the patch and nothing. I took all the drivers in a row and nothing. This problem happened to me earlier when I tried to give a Aquamark with GTX285 and E8600, but I solved it by putting an old video driver, but now I've tried all compatible with the GTX 480 and nothing. In my windows 7 64bit cpu score increased significantly (30K at 4600Mhz), but the video score is much smaller than in XP, so I insist you give Aquamark in XP.

Monstru, print-screen above is given with that patch. I really do not understand what can be.

[Monstru]

Try renaming the exec and see if that works.

[TheDogg]

Thanks Monstru, but no results.

your mem is slow and uncore low, but you should be higher. Are you forcing AA or AF accidentally in control panel? vsync on?

[TheDogg]

I do not think they have any influence uncore and memory. I tried them and no result above. In Control Panel AA and AF are disabled. Same VSYNC. Look below a test conducted in approximately the same conditions but using a 1GB 9600GT. It is obvious that both have worked pretty well. And look at the second print, the same settings but with GTX 480.

I am having the same problems. I only get about 120 FPS throughout the bench with a GTX 570 and i7 920. Any more ideas?

For the low cpu score what I know myself is that :

fresh windows XP, cpu score : 22'000

after changing to another graphic card and drivers, cpu score : 16'000

Replug the original card + original driver : 16'000

reinstall windows XP : 22'000

changing driver to an another one : 16'000

previous driver : 16'000

 

 

=> seems that aquamark doesn't like drivers changes, you have to keep the first you installed

I'm getting about 175K now with the W7 Patch but should be up around 300K. I can try some older drivers but can't belive it would help gain 100K.

btw I just installed am3 on windows 7 64bit to see and effectively, windows 7 only allows him 1 core. we have to set all core from the task manager.

XP + AM3 + Fermi = EPIC FAIL

 

Just install Win7 and see how the score is
