When did you do it? I know I got a significantly higher score with the updated drivers vs the older 7.8/7.9 drivers.

I'm also using Vista Business x64.

Did it earlier on today, I'm using the latest 7.11 drivers, a bit weird? Running all default settings it 3Dmark, and application preference in CCC.

The only thing I can think of is that because my monitor is only 720P, the highest resolution for 3DMark06 that I can run is 1024x768, although I don't think it makes a huge difference.

I'm running it in 1280 x 1024. I will give it a shot on 1024 x 768 to see if there is much difference.

Here is the result. I was not really expecting that much of a jump! Same settings as listed earlier (CPU @ 3.7, 2900 @ 850/1900)

Wow, I guess that does make a bit of a difference. I just wish it didn't depend so much on the resolution, because I my monitor has a max resolution of 1360x768.


Speaking of that, I am going to run 3DMark06 at 1360x768 (vs 1024x768) and see what I get.

I got 12254 @ 1360x768.

@Tidyboy, are you sure you didn't lower the settings or anything? Because that seems like a huge jump.

Nope, the only thing I changed was the resolution. What was your CPU Score?

This is the last bench I am going to do this is at 1240 1024 NO aa DX 10

Cpu at 3.5 8800 gt at 720 1750 999 I don't wanna push it any futher although It is stable and I played crysis with these settings for quite a while then switched right over to COD 4 and played it with no problems. This is the most stable over clock and the highest I have done so far. But I did have to raise the vcore to get it at 3.5 stable.
