I posted an earlier thread about how Pro level apps like Blender and 3DSMax run about 1/4 of the speed of my 8800GTX, and in addition to this I am also noticing that Windows itself is quite pokey as well compared to my older card. I did some benchmarking using Passmark's performance test, and my card is showing as having roughly half the speed of my 8800GTX in the 2d tests. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to run the small benchmark on their machines and post their results here. I did look through the result database, and the numbers are all over the map making hard to make heads or tails of the results. For reference, my system is a QX6700 @ 3.2 Ghz with 8 gigs of PC6400 ram, and a MSI GTX 470. I am running the tests at 1920x1200x32 with Vysnch off.
Thanks in advance for any help! I would really like to get these performance issues sorted out. It sounds like I am not alone with the Blender, 3dsMax, and Maya issue as other users are also experiencing a fraction of the performance of their GeForce 8 and 9 series of cards, but hopefully there is a way to at least get back the snappy feel of my old card when working within windows. I have also tried disabling the adaptive power settings as I thought that the throttling down of my card might be causing the sluggishness.
Here is a link to the benchmark:
