3dmark03, i don’t get it...

How is it possible that i’m getting 30k lower points at the same cpu/gpu/OS config even with higher clocks?
what’s the issue or secret tweak for this test?

what does the subtest comparison tell you ? You won't get much info from 3dmark.com

Heres subtests comparisons. To me it looks like some kind of cheat. Ive tried to simulate same config with 3 cores active, no HT, same Windows 7, same cpu/gpu (although gpu frequency doesn’t affect scores much), and im still at around 250k points.

D3D overrider indeed, high Monitor Hz, LOD tweaking, GPU profiles to clock higher during test x,... so much you can do...

Found an issue! Who would have thought that forcing off v-sync in nvidia control panel could lead to such perfomance drop when it's usually improves it by removing limits.

It's the first benchmark with such issue in my experience.

Here's v-sync forced off:

And here's by apllication default:

Why is it that when you don't know the tweaks, it is always 'some kind of cheat'?

Cuz for someone tweaks means cheats  Under the "cheat" i ment unknown tweak or some kind of settings issue. In my opinion: when someone knows how to tweak system and don't share tweaks with others - some kind of cheating Although it's not
