well as some of yall know i am on my quest for 10K in 05 w/ the stock hsf, and i noticed that when i hit 9310 i hit 56fps like the 4-5 seconds within the first gametest, i usually use this as a meter to tell if its gonna help or not, well now i run the test at stock speeds (cpu & gpu) i hit like 46 at that same spot, and lately i keep get higher overclocks on my cpu and i would go run 05 and now no matter what gpu speed i hit 49 at that spot, and i overclock to 545Mhz and hit 49fps at that spot, downclock to 515 and hit only 49fps at that spot.
I know its not throttling, but i am not sure whats going on, and i have let it run all the way though to see if its just that spot but the whole test is lower than the average on my 9310 score.
i have messed around with the memory speeds and that doesnt really help.
i understand, about how they clock, i use to hit 56fps at that spot, why should it go down if i am clocking up? even with a faster cpu, it should go up, but its stopping at 49 weather its clocked at 500-545
Examples:
i ran 05 @ 499/1375 which usually gives me 88xx well now i got 77xx at the same speeds, i really need help to why this is happening
Temps are at like 45-50C before test starts, before boot, i installed the new 77.72 drivers and now i get 74xx when i use to get 7919 at stock speeds and install settings.
So i have done all my 3Dmark05 runs at LOD 0, but the thing is that i am getting lower scores, then i use to, is this because the card is wearing out or because of my windows install (which is my everyday install) is getting tired, should i make a windows install on another partition jsut for benching and stuff? that never gets used for the internet?
PLEASE HELP..
