ipaine - 2x GeForce GTX 580 @ 903/2222MHz - 226226 marks 3DMark03

sorry to say, but that is just a bugged run..

[Billy-The-Kid]

I think so!

[nedernakker]

soemthing with dual monitor or virus scanner active on the back..

[Threedhero]

I agree been seeing this a lot lately

[Moose83]

Not possible, its totally bugged:D

[Olesius]

i think it is buggy run too, Processor clock 2,147,483,647 MHz

[ipaine]

Ok, this has happened to me twice now. Can someone pinpoint where it is bugged? How to avoid it? Or anything other than saying it is bugged?

 

I have no problem with it being removed if it is indeed bugged but I have yet to see where it is bugged. Is there a bug report anywhere saying that it can give "bugged" scores? I mean that score is high but still not that far away from others. I'm not trying to argue or anything, just trying to understand why I have two scores, 220203 and this one 226226 not counting. I mean I have also run it and gotten scores 208194, 210496, and 211860. Are those going to be flagged as bugged as well if I submit them?

 

As for the processor speed, you can see in the screenshot that it is 5.0GHz and as for what 3Dmark reported I have seen that a few times (not just in 3DMark03) and does not influence the score at all.

[Moose83]

Its simply clear, you beat a lot of Guyz with much higher clocks on CPU and LN2éd GPUs:D

[Gav777]

Anyone have any constructive suggestions? "you beat a lot of Guyz" isn't really that helpful:P

[Dead Things]

While the score may appear bugged, the user can clearly replicate it quite readily. Is there evidence of a cheat, inadvertent though it may be? If not, then, I can't see any legitimate argument in favour of blocking the result. Except, of course, "you beat a lot of Guyz." lol

I allready said I have seen this before with people running 2 monitors or having a virus scanner working in the back.. deinstall the virusscanner and disable and unplug the secondary monitor.

[ipaine]

I am mentioning this on my other earlier score that has gotten reported, it is indeed as Nedernakker has said, mulit-monitor is the cause. It has made a big difference in the scores I am getting and is repeatable. Turn the multi-monitor back on and the higher scores are back.

 

So I would like to thank you, Nedernakker, for being the only one who gave a suggestion. It just took me a little while to get a chance to test this. Also would like to thank Gav777 and Dead Things for helping stand up for me. I would actually suggest adding that it should not be run with multi-monitors to the rules for this benchmark to help avoid this in the future.

[Eeky NoX]

New cheat? Nice!!

 

@Christian Ney: You see? I told you multi monitors are equal to multi gpus

...multiple card = legit --> multiple monitors = legit too!! I'm out ^^
