Shot smiley!!!

Bud - i wanna challenge you

What is the highest you can run your system at? not for 24/7 use, just purely for a higher score....

You know you want to...lol

hahahahahahaha! jeepers... um im not sure hey gona have to give me some time to fine tune cpu ram and gpu.... i reckon i could get into the 5k mark maybe... u have a stronger sytem than mine so will be fun to try keep up to u... beat my latest score and post your results and ill try clock past your new score....

sweet oh, feel free to post the vantage, 06 or 11 scores up cuz 11 might not be that rewarding to our overclocking....

your rig got plenty power so this is gonna be a cat & dog chase

hahahahaha! ya for sure dude! well i dont have 06 but will do vantage and 3dmark 11... ill see if i can get hold of 06 tho.... looking forward to seeing your results.... but that 5870 is gona kill my card....

what OS do you use? 3d mark 11 does not work on my win7 64bit. (.netFramework error.... )

im running windows 7 64bit aswell..... go to 3dmark11 website and download the update its roughly 4mb's.... it updated something with my .net framework.... worth having a look.....

Edit - its just a sytem info update but im certain i saw .net framework pop up durning installation.... could of been for some other app tho but give it a try 4mb wont kill u...

installed it and no luck at all, googled the problem but no one seems to have a fix for it!

have u had a look at this forum?
http://www.yougamers.com/forum/showthre ... 039&page=3 and this one?
http://futuremark.yougamers.com/forum/s ... 962&page=3
i counted about 4 or 5 people that fixed there 3dmark 11 in diffrent ways... start with the first one and run through their fixes... hopefully one can solve your problem

tried uninstalling all versions of .net framework and installing the full v4 pack and installed the security updates.... no luck at all, will try some other solutions!

try the direct x fix posted bu johnny rook on the second link... i saw that fix in two forums....

i tried everything on the web but no luck at all! If you see something that you think will work please come back to me!

Following an update by Futuremark for 3DMark 11, I eventually got it going

I am not sure what a good score is for this benchmark, but here is what I got:

very nice score! killed my score proper... vantage and 3dmark 11 are so different.....

Hm, thanks, and having looked a bit through the previous posts, it seems to me that CPU is not really all that relevant for this benchmark, I mean they are all just under 5000, yet these systems have far faster CPU's clocked over 4MHz

ya they arent cpu sensitive.... which is a bummer, cause why would they incorperate cpu tests....

they are if you have a cpu like mine. My 6870 battles through the physics test! And I can't get an accurate score because my cpu bottlenecks.

No they still areent cpu intensive, u jus have a bottleneck... Doesn't matter what bench u run, if its for 3d graphics your scores will suffer greatly... What I ment in the post above is it doesn't matter if u at 4ghz or at 5ghz won't effect the score too much....

i will do a run tonight and post my scores..

do you guys leave all the settings as-is?

Use the settings I've used in my posts

thats why i wasnt getting a score coz i change res to 1080p. now when i leave it on 1024x768 it gives a score.

Just use the performance preset don't change anything then everyone can compare fairly....

ok, i ran the performance option under 3DMark 11 and this is what i got....

awesome score andre!!! is your 6870 stock? cause if it is, that thing will kill my card when oc'd

at the moment i tweaked it a bit, not much, just a 50Mhz jump on the core to see what, if anything, happens, but otherwise still stock. i was actually playing with the cpu and it's voltages a lot last night
