4870x2 voltmodded, low 3dMark VANTAGE gpu scores Help Me Please

[scottc19]

I ran vantage performance a couple of times with my current stable system, but before I push the card more I need to figure out why the score is so low.
e8600 @ 4.5
4870x2 875 core and 1000mem 1.4v core could push the clocks further with this core voltage, but wont bother until this gets figured out.
vistax64 -superfetch + prefetch + index + pagefile off
4gb ddr2 ram @ 1080ish
dfi p35 t2r
seems like the gpu score should at least be 1000 higher.
using Catalyst 8.12

Bump

wonder why your cpu is so low...

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=702479 is it cuz of my quad? or maybe fsb's 'strap' & other ram related timings

[zanzabar]

u need a quad to get a high score, u look right were u should be. and 64bit lowers your score by about 500

holy crap! man that score is low!!! i get 14k with a gtx260-216 q6600 3.8 good luck man. ps overclocking card gets me up to near 15k

I didnt take a screenshot as I have been doing a lot of these but heres my link.

GPU Score= 17592
Cpu Score = low because duel core and I was lazy and had some stuff running in the background, but I was only messing with gpu.

This was a 940 core run, but it isnt stable, just stable enough to go through vantage. I tried a 955 with more voltage, but it failed.
However I think that this new gpu only score, with phsx enabled is respectable and where it should be for this card? Or does it still look low?, going from 875 to 900 core brought my gpu score up over 1k points! So something is messed up in that respect! Then from 900 to 940 was close to 1500 gpu points.

who ur trying to fool here? urself?
1. u´ve got 4cpu cores
2. ur nvidia card doess physix on the gpu

@scottc19

ur 4870x2 doesn´t do physix. so only ur gpu score is going up with higher core clocks. i don´t see what should be messed up. ur gpu score is scaling well with the clockspeed increase.

Your score does seem a tad low, cpu especially. I've got a very similar setup that you can compare against. Here's what I get at 880/980 with the cpu at 4.55ghz (10x455 ram at 1090): http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=726429
