I thought the mallet technique was to raise your score??

What type of mallet do you have?

I used the one pictured here;

It's the 'Tim-Meister 3,000'.

Works pretty well, just make sure you bash the RAM outta place, the CPU HSF off and the GPU a little to the left. That'll achieve the best results.

Nah, not yet. The motherboard isn't in stock :o and I'm ordering them both together to save on the shipping.

Yeah, Left. If you've done it to the right, you're going to increase your score, Dude! change it quick!
 
Ok guys, heres something interesting (dont know if anyone has done this before but they probably have haha)

I downloaded 3dmark06 as per my previous post and got these scores with my "new" rig in my sig.

Vista on "best appearance" = 10464
Vista on "best performance" = 10529
XP with 3.5gb ram (my XP is not 64bit) = 11264

A meagre 0.62% increase for turning off all the fancy stuff on Vista... and surprise surprise with XP with LESS ram!!! a 6.98% increase???

Interesting.
 
Im getting 12k with the system in my sig all at stock settings.

The CPU test really kills me though. The one with the desert scene with the mounds of dirt. You can use that scenerio to play the game.

But my FPS are 0-3. I dont understand it, well the other tests im at 70-100FPS.

That's the way it's supposed to be. Nobody that I've ever seen has gotten more than 4FPS on that test.

I can verify that one. I cannot remember what my 3D Mark score actually was, but I'm running 2 x 4870X2's at 2GB each, and I only got 3 FPS.

I don't know how they created a game that intense, but ATi certainly hasn't overcome it!

This post just says that no matter how good your graphics card (even 2 x 4870X2's 2GB each in XFire), you're not going to get more than <5 fps on that test!

I was seriously disappointed until I found out that it was supposed to be like that. Man I felt stupid after whinging to Sapphire after running that on the 3870X2 and getting a 2FPS average. *Crawls away, trying to hide between layers of air pollution* :(
 
That's a relief! :o

I thought I had something messed up with my chip, or something had to be messed around with in my bios.

Now I dont feel too bad about my score 12k stock isnt too bad.

Now I am very happy with this score after I installed ATI Radeon HD 4870.

Edit: IT even just more than a double score than my old GeForce 7950GT Video Card!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
