3dMark 03/05 cant run same gpu clocks as 06/Vantage?

[slaveondope]

Trying my hand at some older benchmarks and running into an odd problem.

I can run 1000/1200 on 2x5850's no problem with some head room above that in 06/Vantage but in 03/05 Im struggling with just 950/1200. 950/1200 is my stable 24/7 clocks that have never failed me. 03 can pass at 975/1200 but 05 isnt even passing at 900/1200.

Ive tried 10.4, 10.6, 10.8 on win7x86/x64. Im dumb founded and have to figure its something like a driver issue or the difference in DirectX 9/10 or something.

Any suggestions?

Drrr I got it. Desktop set to whatever the bench resolution is to be run at fixes the issue.

I'm glad you were able to fix it, I had this problem with my 8800 GT as well, but I couldn't fix it. I will try your solution next time!
