|
 |
So I just bought a new rig, here are the specs :
Intel C2D E6600
2GB RAM
XFX GeForce 8800 GTS (640mb)
Gigabyte P35-DQ6
250GB Hard Disk
Now with these specs I thought my 3dmark score would be above 10.000, but it's about half:
5367.
Now I'm using ForceWare 97.94 because most other (newer) ones gave me BSOD's after a while, which disappeared after .1s so I couldn't read the error. What could the problem be? Some tech guy came to my home to install the XFX, could it be that he forgot a cable or something?

Isn't there a different set of drivers out for the 8 series cards like 1xx.xx?

well for a start, the program is pretty intensive... my understanding, to get a proper comparative score, you need to leave all the settings on default, and NOT turn up all the visual settings to the max which is probably what you did... i did that, and got like 8000, it totally kicked my pc's ass...
i use the latest xp 158.22 forceware release, and dont get any issues.

Thanks for the tips, I reinstalled the 158.22 driver, ran fine for a while, then I had the same weird blue screen flash and then it rebooted... Help?

did you install the drivers that came on the supplied disk that came with the system/card?
if so, try uninstalling all nvidia drivers, and just use the ones downloaded from the website.
are you sure its the graphics card, not causing a conflict with something else? yeah id try completely uninstalling the card, and using a fresh set of latest drivers, instead of updating the drivers currently used...

atleast you know why your score was so low now... i put together my first pc (not first pc ive owned, but first ive built myself) last month and it was a hell of an experience... ill never buy prebuilt again.. i love knowing exactly what went in, and installing exactly what i want... plus i know that i made it myself... it kicks. best of luck with ur new rig, hope you enjoy it like i enjoy mine.
