Right click on your taskbar, adjust date/time. Or, have the date/time on the taskbar in the screenshot.

lol, tried that with 0% success rate
i might have a chance in vantage if you used only an ati card (i have the 5970 and the 8800gt you sold me
).What score are you getting in 06'???
Edit- I see only 21k. I don't understand that AT ALL. I had a Phenom II quad at 3.9ghz and a gts250 get 17k. When I had my 4870 X2 it laughed at 06', something has got to be wrong. 06' does not use PhysX, perhaps take the 8800gt out and see what happens. Perhaps whatever you are using to allow PhysX with an ATI card is killing your ATI's performance. The SM2 score is horrible, SM3 score is only the same at my gtx460. I also only had my I7 at 4.2ghz instead of 4.5ghz like I had with the 9800GX2.
I really think with a 5970 you should be around the same score as mine even with the Phenom II at 3.8ghz.
Also, you have a C3 stepping, I can't believe yours overclocks that poorly. 1.48v at only 3.8ghz??? I have a C3 555 and I can run 3.8ghz on 1.35 voltage and 4.2ghz at 1.50!

hmm, maybe i'll try without the 8800gt a little later on.
don't you remember trying to help me overclock it a little while back?

Submitted my score with ORB link.
Bomber when is the Vantage thread going to happen?
Hopefully soon, i should have some time this coming week to work on it.
Scores updated btw guys.
And joh06937, remember that active GPU cores would be two for a dual GPU card since it has two cores

i wasn't sure if it meant physical or cores, sorry
Yeah np, i tried to clear it when i said cores, just future reference for ya
Bomber I submitted a score but I forgot to put the CPU was a 555, I just put Phenom II. But the screenshot shows an Athlon II 455, it's just unlocked to a triple core 
Only issue is it seems 3dmark06 doesn't scale the dual GPU's well at all. SM2 it only had 50% gpu usage on each GPU, and SM3 used 75% of each GPU. So the score really should be higher, but oh well-
In fact, I score higher in vantage than I do in 06, with less clockspeed to boot

Submitted again, almost 18k, damn cpu... but i really don't wanna overclock much more because everything is nice and even
I'm running everything stock settings and i'm happy with it. I'll be overclocking though, but hopefully in the future. So far everything runs great.
Why dont you do a second test? Sometimes the score is higher.

Nice score BTW, guess I'm gonna have to whip you with a dual core soon when I get some time to do some DICE benching
Well, being a worthy opponent, I wouldn't want you to take it sitting down.
Trouble is I'm having to spend a lot more $ than you to compete with you.

:good:
Hoping to get the 655k to atleast 5.6 or so ghz and still pass the 100% load CPU test with HT on. On 06', with that kind of clockspeed should make for one hell of a score even on only a single gtx460.
The other issue is I don't currently have a full working P55 board. The UD3R in my main rig the top x16 slot doesn't work so it only has the lower x4 which bottlenecks the 460. My other P55 is an ASRock extreme which needs RMA'd because it completely died. So it may be a few weeks, I'll probably get the UD3R back first which is fine doesn't matter whichever board since the 655k is unlocked I don't have to worry about hitting base clock walls anymore
