3DM05 & 7800GTX 512 Problem

[CrashOv3r1De]

Guys I am having a problem. On the DFI eXpert FX57 @280x10 and eVGA 7800GTX 512 stock did 9060. However my XFX 7800GTX 512 & FX57 @ 275*11 scored about 8300ish. I have no clue what is going on, Ballistix are operation @ 1:1 ratio @ 3-8-3-3 very strange any ideas what can cause this., i am using foreware version 82.12

That sounds WAY too low. My FX-57 stock 2.8ghz (14x200) and XFX 7800 GTX 512 stock clocks did 10083... Did you reinstall the chipset drivers then the forceware drivers?

Try 81.95's for compare and make sure all eye candy is off.
This is definitely software related.
Also select an profile under 3D profile apps.

My XFX drivers cd did not work on this mB for some reason I got BSOD. So i went and donwload the 82.12 FW.

Crash, drop the cpu to 2.8 with normal memory clocks and disable any possible PEG links in bios if you have that on your board. To much cpu, memory and GFX overclock makes the mark throttle. You gotta start from scratch. Load the 3dmark05 thing in the driver as well to make sure all peachy stuff is disabled.

800 pts off what you should be at with stock or a tiny overclock.
