i guess the first one, cpu-speed might be more important than ram-speed.

but why don´t you try both settings? it´s the best way to find it out ;)

Vcore was set at 2.9V.

I can go as high as 3.4V, but at 2.9 the cooler becomes hot to the touch. => +60 à 65°C.

 

I'll try a rerun with a 500Mhz CPU in a couple of days (have to go and fetch it)

I installed PCMark04 and all the other bits of software it needs on my fresh install of XP, but all i can get is the little PMARK04 popup while the software is supposedly loading. Task manager says it crashes almost as soon as I open the program... No clue whats going on... any suggestions?

 

Cheers

What happens if you try to add -nosysteminfo parameter to the shortcut?

 

How do you do that? Basic knowledge I'm sure but never had to do it before :P

 

 

did you install the patch (1.3.0)?

 

The download from the Futuremark Site was the 1.3.0 version.

Install the systeminfo hotfix/update. I guess you're trying to run some new generation card.

This will do the trick http://www.3dmark.com/support/systeminfo-updates/ but I installed the hotfix from February 08. Don't remember the exact download location, but you should be able to find it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was what I did in order to make it work.

 

You can first check what Massman suggests in order to see if the system info is causing problems. You add one space after the quotes and then -nosysteminfo.

When I end up with a hang on PCMark04 splash screen you either have to use the -nosysteminfo flag or delete the direcpll.dll that is in the Windows/System32/Futuremark folder. I find this happens most often with ATI video cards for some reason.

There's a trick for it mate, I will tell ya tomorrow :P ( but we don't have it used it on our runs either as some think of it as a cheat ) One of the other scores have done it the right way... think we could have breached XXXX K easily with the tweak... maybe later a rerun...

look through the posts already here, it was posted then

 

If you are able to register the product run the grammar check by itself, first and then run the entire suite

 

 

Thanks for this. Was wondering all day how to run the tests one by one, nearly managed to post updated score

Congrats to the winners. Lost the overall 2nd place just right at the end. Nevertheless I have 2 records now :D.

Its hard to fight when running only 3 platforms from total of 5.

 

Oh...and long live HD4890, one of my all-time favorite cards.

This brutal assault on the AMD vision (fusion) cpu's brought to you by bungie cords :D

 

The Ice cream Container Ln2 Pot didn't make the cut for this competition, due to the need for some more k10 benchage at the last minute.
