Yes your problem is single GPU. 3dmark11 scales multiple GPU's extremely well. With another 570, overclocked, you would probably take number one spot or get very close.

Whats your CPU overclocked too? And what are the overclocks on your card?

With an I7 920 at 4ghz and a single gtx570 overclocked to 900 core clock I got like 6100.

make way for a new first place!! was able to jump the core up a ;itt;e more, as well as the nb speed as 87dtna advised. i dropped my speed on the 470's, cause it was showing instability. i had to crank vcore up to 1.625v in bios, 1.57v in windows, and 1.49 under load (horrible vdrop i know). ill be backing it all down to 3,7Ghz @ 1.35v (1.29v) for everyday tasks and leave the cards at stock untill i need more power. just pushing my rigs limits for this benchmark

Yup thats why I got rid of that exact board you have, it only has a 4 pin CPU connector....horrible horrible Vdroop on 4 or more cores. Fine for dual cores and even triple cores.

sorry but i think you have this board confused with another one, or you didnt notice the plug thats in the other 4 pins, but this board has an 8 pin connector plugged into the board, as well as the standard 20+4 pin. but either way, yeah this board does have some horrible vdrop, but i needed an sli board for amd. im wishing now though that i had gone with the MSI version, as it has another pci-e slot with all 16 lanes on them, and msi has LLC to help with vdrop, unlike this board which has no LLC of any kind, and little to no help with its vdrop. i want to get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227578
but i dont have a slot for it. oh well, im good with the ssd i have for now.

No overclocking for me.

Well thats your other problem :p

You could get probably 6k with your setup overclocked.



Kobaj- Scores updated :)

Two things quick, you forgot to switch the one CPUz to the memory tab, and also I need to know what your CPU was running at full clockspeed.

I won't make you re-run it, just let me know what those settings were.

Ah sorry, I'm currenty using the Asus EZ mode and during the benchmark it goes up to 4.3.
For my memory I have 4g of ddr3 in my system atm

I went ahead and did a pic of the memory tab

So I finally figured out why MSI Afterburner would keep crashing my computer whenever I would Overclock my GPU's. I found a thread that guided me through regedit and switched a couple 1's to 0's, and now it works fine.

So I tried 3dmark06 at got identical numbers I previously had. When running 3dmark11 though I got a decent difference than I previously posted.
My cpu is overclocked to 4326, EZ mode (motherboard bios) just jumps it up whenever it needs to.

I am running both in crossfire @ stock core voltage with 900 core clock / 1400 memory clock. Going somewhere over 900 though, the drivers fail during 06 beginning run and crashes once I try a second time getting a BSOD

Alternative cooling methods allowed? I'm tempted to use dry ice and make myself look like a boss... (next step: having my dad remember to grab dry ice from the airplane :D)

Absolutely, although DICE on the CPU isn't gonna help you a whole ton since this bench focuses mostly on the GPU. CPU score will help you some, but not huge.

3dmark11 benefits mostly by the amount of GPU cores. More GPU's= way higher score.

We want to make sure that a person has a genuine interest in the forum, rather than just coming in to post scores ;)

Well i joined here in 2009, but I have been away for a while. But I understand you have your rules.

I would've thought that the thread I started on flashing the bios of the GTX 580 would create more interest than it has. No replies so far.
