3dmark06 score comment.

[brysig228]

just bought 8800gts 640 a week ago or so and default clock was 513 core and 792 memory and the first time i ran 3dmark06 i got i think about 10800 something. them after that i've been getting 8900+ with default clock. is that normal or what?

now i have it over clock at 654 core and 1048 memory and getting around 10330 +. is that a good score? i have not mess with the shader just because don't know how on the new rivatuner. i think the shader is 1512mhz. will it make any difference if i change the shader whenever i learn how?

thanks. rest of my rig is on my sig and i'm running XP.

you're in the ballpark. play some games. don't worry about the shader clock until there's a rivatuner slider to set it with. that's coming soon in rivatuner 2.05. i haven't found much(any) benefit by simply increasing it...yet.

Those scores are respectable. About what you'd expect with your system specs.

before i returned my 8800GTS 320MB i had a similar problem. After a fresh driver install i would score 9700 in 3DMark06. Then if i checked again a couple days later it would drop to around 7200. Uninstalling drivers, running DC, and reinstalling drivers would get me back to 9700..but inevitably it would fall again to 7200ish for no apparent reason. Throughout the process i kept the clocks @ stock and didn't add/remove any new hardware or software. Never did figure it out, but i don't have this problem with my 640MB.
