Updated the rig so updating the score


I tried it out with 1 card at 837/1197 and the processor only at 2.8Ghz and I pulled off a 11939, that was nice, 1 card was running 800 points higher than my old 5000+ BE with 2 cards!

Also the new cat 8.6's are very nice, they detect crossfire and if you remove a card just turns it off so you don't have to do a clean driver install each time. Also seems if something is running over monitor resolution it will make it run on your screen still. 1280x1024 and the whole thing showed up on my TV thats only 1360x768.

And look at that CPU score :O, can't wait for the new SB750, 3.5Ghz here I come, crack that 5,000 CPU score.

I'm only at 3.2Ghz, I bumped up the FSB a bit and got 50mhz more and ran the test and it netted me a 15,9xxx but it wasn't stable I couldn't even get a screen :p Once the new southbridge comes out and I can cross the barrier I'm at the scores should go up.

My 9850 got a better CPU scoring then your E8400, I also have the clock on the vidcards pretty low.

The thing with AMD processors, is that they do not work well with crossfire/sli. That CPU score means nothing, its the gaming performance.

Click the link in my sig, the CPU score is lower. But the SM 2.0 and SM 3.0 are extremely high. Its because of the processor architecture. AMD makes good processors, they just do not do handle multi card setups well.

15.4k is still pretty good though..
