Hi,
Ok after having slowdown with a giga mobo and an 9800gtx and 9450 @ 2.66. I took out the 9800gtx and broke off a transistor. I now have a 4870x2 and an asus mobo (pk5 prem). Everything seems fine and I ran 3dmark vantage and scored 12514. This seems a bit low as other setups to mine are at around the 15k mark. I'm maybe being fussy and havent played to much with the setup but I noticed running the 3dmark vantage the cpu tests was very very slow. Should all the tests run smooth (was in performance mode)? I had tested on 3dmark06 and noticed the cpu tests were all very sluggish as well.
Anyone tell me how the cpu test part is meant to run? (in 3dmark vantage its where the planes do flying manouvers). I've read that cpus can be at fault for causing a bottlenecking effect.
Is there a way to test cpu performance? I realise that overclocking to 3.0ghz would probably bump my score up 2 13000 or more...
Dunno I just have a niggly suspicion my cpu is at fault. Previously I had a resetting comp and also had a graphics issue with the 9800gtx (would suffer from slowdown at 1920x1200 even though it should have murdered a game like medieval war2). Maybe this post should be in processors but it is mostly graphics related. Shame I dont have another intel cpu to test it on. However after just spending 400 pounds on a card and a new mobo am feeling rather ill with the whole deal.
