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..

Have you enabled force performance mode in rivatuner ?
Are you below 35c at any time before benching?

All i can think off..

You did run a driver cleaner, right? I found that if I went from say 78.03 to 77.72, the second test on 3Dmark03 really slows down. I ran the driver cleaner, and everything is as it should be.

does the driver cleaner take out just the vga drivers or all nvidia drivers?

You can specify the specific driver, so, yes, just the VGA driver. I use this driver cleaner. Works well.
