I got the latest drivers and did some more overclocking, and now I'm at 12286!



And just to let you know, it only says that about the drivers because I'm using XP Pro x64, which I guess doesnt have "approved" drivers.

Yes it's with 7.9. The new drivers are a huge improvement, because when I first built my PC using 7.5 or 7.6, I got about 11400 and my CPU and GPU were overclocked higher.

BTW, is your video card overclocked, and if so, what do you have it at?

Yea got it overclocked. At the mo it's at 850/1900, it was a bit higher than that but it started to play up a bit. I tried Catalyst 7.9 earlier and it did not go as well as I expected. I got 12070. Looking at your score and going by my previous score I was hoping to hit 12500. What are your 3d setting in CCC? All mine are as low as possible. And just wondering, what temps are you getting at load? Was playing MOH Airborne earlier and mine hit 92c!!!

That would be why. Why would you set all the quality settings to low? That defeats the purpose of a high end card. You should have everything on "application preference".

Sorry Omega, didn't explain myself that well. I meant AA & AF were on application setting but Adaptive AA not enabled, Catalyst AI Disabled and Multi Map Detail Level is on High Quality.
